VelourVista+FollowUltimate Summer Iced Tea GuideMaking iced tea at home is a total game-changer, especially when the heat kicks in. Here’s how I do it for the perfect, refreshing drink every time: Boil 2 cups of water and turn off the heat. Toss in 3-5 bags of your favorite black tea (Ceylon or Keemun are my go-tos) and let them steep for 5 minutes. Don’t overdo it or it’ll get bitter! Remove the tea bags and pour the tea into a pitcher. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. Add 2 cups of cold water to dilute, then stir. Pop the pitcher in the fridge for a couple of hours until it’s super chilled. Serve over ice, squeeze in some lemon, and top with a sprig of mint. Sweeten to taste if you want. #IcedTea #SummerDrinks #TeaLover #Food #Cooking1002Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowHangry Joe’s Hot Chicken in Hot WaterDid you hear about Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken on 40th St? Inspectors just hit them with a laundry list of health code violations—think pest issues, dirty floors, and even pink slime in the ice machine. They’ve got to clean up fast or risk losing their permit. If you’re a fan, maybe check for updates before your next spicy chicken run! #Health #BodyHealth #PhillyEats00Share
Peter Christensen+FollowQuick Way to Soften Butter for BakingEver forget to take your butter out of the fridge before baking? Here’s my go-to trick to soften it fast without melting it! Cut the cold butter into small cubes and spread them out on a plate. Fill a glass with hot water, let it sit for a minute, then dump the water out. Place the warm glass upside down over the butter cubes. Wait about 5 minutes—the butter will be perfectly soft and ready to use! This little hack saves me every time I want to whip up cookies or pancakes on a whim. Try it and thank me later! #kitchentip #dakotahdame #bakinghack #Food #Cooking232Share
CleverCloud+FollowNo More Lips on Dirty Cans! Seriously, Why Are We Still Doing This? 🤢Honestly, it blows my mind how many people still drink straight from cans without thinking twice. Have you ever actually looked at the tops of those things? They’re handled by who knows how many people, tossed around in warehouses, and probably collect all sorts of grime. I started wiping them down after seeing a news report about bacteria on can lids, but sometimes I wonder if that’s even enough. Food safety isn’t just about what’s inside the can—what’s on the outside matters too. Anyone else feel weird about this, or is it just me being paranoid? #FoodSafety #CleanYourCans #PublicHealth #DrinkSmart #Food4585Share
QuantumQuest+FollowSlow Cooker Chicken Tacos That Actually Taste AmazingMaking these chicken tacos is ridiculously simple and the results are incredible. Toss your chicken breasts in the slow cooker with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dump in the diced tomatoes with chiles and green chiles - don't drain them! That juice adds so much flavor. Cook on high for 4 hours. The chicken will be fall-apart tender. Shred with two forks - it practically falls apart on its own. Stir in that salsa con queso and watch it get all creamy and delicious. Serve these babies in flour tortillas with whatever toppings you love. The queso sauce makes them extra indulgent and my family devours them every single time. Perfect for busy weeknights when you want something that tastes like you actually tried. #slowcookertacos #dinnerideas #lemon8challenge #Food #Cooking1001Share
John Kirby+FollowThe Constitution should prohibit McDonald's from selling dead fries.When the fries get cold, they lost their sole. Greasy, full of the smell of oil, soggy, like a mash of mud.

StardustSprint+Follow6 Easy Ways to Make Your Water Alkaline at HomeAdd ½ to 1 tsp of baking soda to 8 oz of water and stir well. Only drink one glass a day since too much baking soda can be rough on your stomach, especially if you’re watching your sodium. Squeeze half a lemon into your water. Even though lemons are acidic, your body processes them as alkaline. I love the taste, and it helps me drink more water. Toss cucumber slices into a pitcher of water and let it chill for a few hours. It’s super refreshing and easy. Use pH drops—just follow the instructions on the bottle. They’re quick but don’t filter out impurities. Try an alkaline water filter pitcher. It’s a simple swap for your regular filter. Install a water ionizer if you’re serious about alkaline water. It’s pricey but convenient if you drink a lot. #alkalinewater #healthyliving #hydration #Food #Cooking282Share

SamanthaNana +FollowGaining weight after a big meal? Fat-burning tea comes to help!Hello, Nana's here! Do you ever regret after a feast or buffet? After stuffing yourself with fried foods, burgers, pizzas, or cakes and desserts? Worried about gaining weight? No worries, green tea water is your cure for that🍵. It contains catechins, which help break down fats and speed up your metabolism. This means it can aid in preventing weight gain by “scrubbing” some of the excess fat from your system. But there’s a catch: to get the most benefits, you need to brew it right. Steep high-quality green tea leaves in hot water for about 3–5 minutes. This allows the catechins to fully dissolve. Also, try to drink it without sugar or milk to maximize its effects. IMPORTANT❗️NO SUGAR & MILK❗️Otherwise you may gain even more fat. So next time you have a heavy dinner, finish it off with a cup of green tea. It’s a simple way to support your body’s natural processes. #Healthy eating #On a diet #Diet #Tea #Fun fact942Share
awaters+FollowWhy Your Steak Night Costs More NowEver noticed your favorite steak or burger costing way more lately? Beef prices just hit all-time highs, but ranchers say they’re not cashing in. Droughts and pricey cattle feed mean many are barely breaking even, even as we pay $9+ a pound. With U.S. herds at a 74-year low, stores like Walmart are even building their own beef plants to keep shelves stocked. If you’re waiting for prices to drop, don’t hold your breath—things might get pricier before they cool off. #Business #Industry #beefprices00Share
