Is eating wine in food against the word of wisdom?
Obviously drinking it is against the word of wisdom, but is eating food that has been cooked with wine as a flavor element against it? Has it been cooked out of it's alcoholic characteristics?
Please no harshing, I will be forced to report as abuse by Yahoo. It's a very simple question, just answer it. Thank you :-)
I don't necessarily love religion, but I don't want to be excommunicated because of a silly thing such as an ingredient.
I want to quit my resturaunt job, It's hell on earth for many reasons! How?!?
So, I have been working at this restaurant for about a month. I'm a hostess, and I have been in "hostess training" all this time.But really, they haven't trained me to do squat! All I am doing is cleaning tables,serving food and drinks..Which by the way. I have NO CLUE what I'm doing. My first night there they made me serve food and drinks, It was the first time they had EVER shown me a seating chart...So I had no clue what table number was where, They were yelling at me cause I would give the wrong food to the wrong table.It was a disaster! I had to study hard core to do a menu test..I had to get a 90 or above. Luckily, I got a 96 and I was dang proud of myself! Then the assistant manager was complaining saying "Oh, she shouldn't have passed! She got 6 wrong! blah blah blah" I was like geez,I got my passing grade so she shouldn't be complaining! I studyed my butt off! Anyways, I haven't been properly trained, They haven't trained me one bit in the host chart or register to do the to-go orders and retail shop in the restaurant. And my training ends this weekend ,And I will be left to do it all alone on Monday, And I haven't even been trained in that area yet! And they said "Every time you make a mistake, we are going to punish you, We will make you dance in front of the whole restaurant and embarrass you." Well, They shouldn't punish me when I'm trying to learn to do my job!
On top of all of that, I had to set up a new bank account so they could diret deposit my checks. I email them my bank info..They write me back adn tell me I need a direct deposit form from my bank! I was like Okayyy? They never told me they needed one of those and I gave them all the info a direct deposit form would have on it anyway. So, I went to my bank..My bank said they don't use direct deposit forms and that I pretty much did give my job all the info they would need. But, They gave me a voided check to give to my boss..I gave it to him, he put it in his shirt pocked and went home with hit! I hope to God his wife didn't wash it! I have been working there a month, working my butt off cleaning tables,bathrooms,windows and stuff with no pay! Then I find out I won't get my check for another 2 weeks because I wasn't on payroll yet so I missed out on my first check! Well, they should have told me "Hey, We need your bank info by such and such date so we can direct deposit your first check" But, They failed to inform me on that! Then the people who are training me is leaving me to do stuff alone and I go wait, I don't know how to do this! Then she slaps my back really hard and goes oh you can do it!
The cooks grab my legs with their tongs, Perverts! AND when I clean the bathrooms, we have to pick up bloody pads and tampons with our hands! We have gloves on,but still blood gets on our gloves and we clean the toilets all with the same rag that we used to clean the mirrors,walls things like that. I also broke my first wine glass cleaning the tables the other night, and they got upset and told me not to let it happen again, But my hands were wet with food and stuff and it fell to the floor!
It's a hell hole, And I don't ever want to go back! I have several interviews with other places, But how do I quit this job? I know I should give a 2 week notice,But I don't think I can last 2 more weeks there! I want my pay, and I want out of there ASAP! Everyone says I should call corporate, But I don't know if that would even be a good idea. I'm not being properly trained, And I just want my freakin money!

Could you cure disease if you ate nothing but vegetables(not cooked or anything) for a month or so?
We know Vegetables are healthy – that’s just a fact.
Its this word “Healthy” that is almost miraculous to me because its talking about general/global health and not just 1 aspect
Also, although I’ve mentioned fruit and veg aswell, I would stick to vegetables. I’ll be honest its because I’m Christian and there’s something in the Bible on this and in Christianity its powerful to quote scripture, or live out some of the things mentioned in it.
Specifically it’s this – Daniel 1:12 onward
“Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12“Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.”
I woke up feeling rough the otherday so I ate an apple- the difference was like taking a happy pill. If I eat half a plate of salad (and this is something I really don’t want to say, but feel I have to otherwise I’m holding something back)...BAM instant wet dream ...or that night anyway. (I don’t "relieve" myself)
So yes, veg,fruit,salad.. Very powerful apparently?
Robert - If saying that to me, means you feel better in your life and will now spare someone else - then good. God bless you.

What is a good french menu for Valentine's Day?
My boyfriend works until 8:00 pm on Valentine's Day. I get off at 4:00 pm. I want to make him a French (or other European cuisine--just not Italian or Spanish) inspired dinner, particularly rustic in feel. I am thinking of a salad course, cheese course, main course and then dessert. Possibly having the salad course come after the main course. Open to suggestions on the order as well. We like all foods, and I am a pretty accomplished cook so I could handle a bit of hard work. Although we will be eating late, I'm not too concerned about it being healthy, but I would like smaller portions if we're going to have multiple courses. Also we aren't big dessert eaters, so something small for that, preferably not chocolate. We will be having wine throughout, but if you know of a great french cocktail I could have waiting for when he first gets home that would be great as well. Thanks!
my housemate is a asss?
well myself and my partner moved in with the guy we lived with last year ( in a shared house) and his new gf, who was so lovely when we first met her... so after about a week of living with them.. the gf has started to become a complete asshole.. and its been about 3 1/2 months since we moved in and were been driven mad.. he blatantly told us were not welcome to use the living room and tv and were just lodgers ( yet we pay more rent and bills than her) she keeeps moving our food, cooking untensils, anything we leave in the open plan kitchen/ living room will be thrown about and broke and then flung in a corner.. he even put our george forman grill in the sink.. hello it has a lead. u dont wash it!! hes besiclly just a ass.. which we deal with by keeping to our room and only going downstairs to cook and shower.. but the latest things hes done is got all the glasses and plates ( the apartment came fully furnished) and put them in 1 press and put my mug, about 5 plates, 2 glasses and 1 bowl in our 'correct' press.. and put up a big household cleaning list.. which says were not allowed to leave even a wash cloth in the shower.. ( where's in supposed to drip out) ( esp when there's no heating in the house!) that we must put away our stuff in a correct press and that the living room must be cleaned up at night... like really.. we dont use the living room at all.. and they leave in mank.. full of wine bottles and beer cans and drops of food everywhere and he keeps putting up notes blaming us. weve had many conversations and confrontations about her being an ass to us.. and weve said if u want us to help more, we will.. sure we already clean as we go when were cooking or showering yet she still doesnt get that hes beiing a dick, even her partner has sided with us! any tips please?
we cant move out either as were broke :(
