Im trying to find a distributor that specializes in selling appliances such as bathtubs, stove tops, etc for assisted living (senior homes). If anyone has any info for me it would be greatly appreciated.
note: I dont need it for myself. Im a realtor and im trying to convert a building.
You should be able to get information from a home health care provider on how to get assistance from the government and be able to get appliances, etc. free or for little money. If you call a home health care company, you can just get the informaiton to the goverment offices that help with this sort of thing. My neighbor did this and got a new fridge free because her social security wouldn’t cover it but she was able to get what she needed for free. Good Luck.

I’m considering moving into a barebones, student style studio in Manhattan while doing a grad program. I’ve found some great deals, but none include real kitchens. They just have a sink, some counter space, and a fridge/mini-fridge. Other than a toaster oven, microwave, and Forman Grill, what sorts of smaller kitchen appliances would allow for the greatest variety, but take up the smallest amount of space.
electric hotplate 2 burner
toaster
can opener
skip the grill unless you have a balconey it uses too much space.

How does the lack of nutrition labels on fast foods and restaurant menus affect the African-American community SPECIFICALLY?
What questions do you have about obesity and African Americans?
Hello. Most fast food restaurants have their nutritional information available on the Web. But the time to look it up, the interest in doing it and the access to a computer would all be issues…
The real question is why don’t more families cook…food expense has a lot to do with it but buying fast food is actually more expensive, even if you buy the Williams 8 piece dark or McDonald’s chicken nuggets all the time….
Another issue is simply knowing how to cook and teaching your children to like cooked food.
Interestingly enough, this is becoming a problem all over the developed world, and not just with Black people. Even Japanese mothers have trouble somtimes keeping their kids away from the fast food….
People need to grow some food and herbs, cook, and eat what they cook….
This would help obesity issues, immensely. Oh and being active and making exercise a PRIORITY, the way Mrs. Obama and my family do…

Bread makers are great until you realize you end up with a loaf of bread that has a giant hole going through it. Blenders- usually stop using those cause the drinks are too complicated for first thing in the morning and at night it is easier to crack open a beer. and the juicer- so help me- the person who invented those should be sitting next to Paris Hilton in jail- they are the biggest pain to clean that screen. I can’t even GIVE mine away.
Oh and the bread- everyone realized they gained 20 pounds from eating the stuff- big reason to not use anymore.

From GNC, to Megaplex, to Animal there are soo many nutrition suppliers which one is the leader and most used among professional body builders?
It really doesnt matter where you get it, just what you’re getting. Most of the products are the same, just vary slightly in ingredients. Optimum Nutrition’s whey protein has always been on the top of the bodybuilding supplement list, and for obvious reasons. I ordered myself a 5lb tub of it and it was the best I ever had. They introduced it into the market first after all. For creatine, Higher Power is ranked #1. NO Shotgun still reigns supreme for Nitric Oxide. GNC, DPS Nutrition, even Sams Club carries bodybuilding products.
See below for a link to all the top bodybuilding supplements

Will you lose the fiber by juicing?
I would like to buy JACK LALANNE’S POWER JUICER, but don’t want to if I’m going to sacrifice nutrician. Anybody know anything about this?
I would just eat the fruit, juicers separate the solids from the juice. Like if you want carrot juice, you probably need 5 lbs of carrots to get a glass of juice.
And not only that, you have to clean the damn thing after every use.
Remember a long time ago, Everyone bought food processors….They are never used by the people who bought them, cause it took far longer to clean them than to just cut up the stuff by hand.
Eat fruit, & veggies, Buy juice for drinking, Don’t buy the machine.

I like the stainless steel look, but I’m cheap and don’t want to buy all new appliances. Is there any kind of paint or laminate or something that can make my white appliances look like stainless steel?
Sandy: If you could look it up for me, that’d be great!
They sell sheets of stainless steel to put up on appliances for the look of a new stainless steel appliance. I think they are either peel and stick, or magnetic. (I think magnetic) look at the appliance store for them. I also saw them in my magazines, but I can’t remember which one.I’ll look and send you the information if you would like. Bye

How many kitchen appliances do you own?
Which one do you use the most?
Why did basport get a thumbs up?
A washer and Dryer are not kitchen appliances.
Assuming you mean small appliances…I say too darn many! At one time we would buy every one that came along; including a hot dogger, pizza maker, elec. carving knife, elec. wok, toaster oven, George Forman grill # 1, 2,3 and 4. Most have been garaged saled (sold) or are stored in the garage. Most used; coffee maker, microwave, blender and mini food processor. OK?

I have a 13-month daughter and I’d like to give her a regular milk, but I don’t know how to compare the nutrition. Can somebody tell me the easiest way to do that and also if possible pls mention the milk brand?
My daughter’s pediatrician has said that from 12 months to four years a child should have Whole milk (if the child still isn’t breastfed)… and after four years old that they can have 2%.

Do you remember the plastic small straw type things that you stick into a fresh orange and use to suck the juice out? I used them all the time as a kid but now I want to find a place to buy some for home (and for friends and family)…. can anyone help? I would be great if you knew a manufacture or retailer.
