  1. >>1. What kind of oil (olive, vegetable, etc.) do you usually have in your home for regular use for frying, making omelets, stir frying, using on a skillet for various stuff. Which one would you say you mostly use? I am not much of a gourmet cook but I need one that basically covers all angles or as many of them as possible. The most useful type of oil sort of speak.

    Hi Kens, for frying, you need a cooking oil with a high smoke point. Olive oil will not be appropriate because it has a relatively low smoke point. Canola or sunflower oil will be better for frying or baking. Canola oil is cheaper than sunflower oil and so I use it for general frying and baking.

    Btw, which trader joes do you frequent after work usually? court street?

  2. I have a couple of serious questions…..

    2. Has anyone attempted to clean white grout in the bathroom with either bleach or toothpaste? Did it work? If not, what would you recommend?
