Mongolian Hot Pot

By attosa

Mongolian Hot Pot with bowl of cooked foodsOne of my absolute favourite winter month indulgences is Mongolian hot pot, where everyone gathers around a big pot of boiling broth, cooking fresh meats and vegetables, then dipping them into a soy-vinegar based sauce. I used to go to restaurants to enjoy this, but it started becoming incredibly costly, about $35 per person. Now I can feed my whole family this meal with less than that cost.

Which Side of the Car Has the Gas Cap?

By Judy

The fuel tank indicator in a car, with the arrow pointing to the side with the gas cap.If you switch cars, rent a car, or just cannot remember, this is a useful tip. The icon of a gas tank on your dashboard will have a triangle on the right or left. That shows you what side of the car you put the gas in. The picture shows my car takes gas on the left.
