What Would You Feed Your Pals?

YumSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 17:08:51 -0700

As you may have heard, Katie Holmes loves to treat her fellow cast and crew members to scrumptious tidbits. Over the last few weeks, she's brought ice cream, cupcakes and pizza (which was even flown in from Chicago!) to the cast and crew of her new film, Mad Money. I think it's pretty sweet, and I wonder how she decided what to bring. If money wasn't an object, I'd fly in fresh sushi from Japan and kleiners from Iceland. How about you? What would you feed your pals?

Burning Question: At What Temperature Is a Turkey Cooked?

YumSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:00:48 -0800

No matter what kind of turkey you'll be having this year, there's one question you'll need the answer to: What temperature does a turkey need to reach in order be considered "done"?

Until last year, the USDA recommended cooking turkey to an internal temperature of 180ºF. But based on the fact that bacteria threat salmonella cannot withstand temperatures of 160ºF after 30 seconds, the FDA now suggests a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF as measured by a food thermometer in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast.

At what temperature do you consider your turkey done?

Tough Question No. 2: What Are You Doing With Your Life?

DearSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:30:00 -0800

Many of us have felt the effects of the worsening economy, so if you've lost your job as a result, I bet one of the questions you'll be asked this Thanksgiving will be what you're planning on doing now. Not only can that question be invasive, but it can end up making you feel even worse about your situation than you already do. To see my suggestions on how to answer that uncomfortable question, read more.

If you are in fact unemployed, as annoying as it may be to talk about (let alone think about), it's always a good idea to let as many people as you can know that you're looking for a job. They could be privy to an opportunity or they might be able to point you in the right direction.
Know that you don't have to have an answer to this question, and if you don't, be honest and say just that - sometimes change takes a little soul searching.
If your family members keep at you, politely ask them to back off. Tell them that you don't have all the answers right now but when you do, you'll be the first one to let them know!
Use interviewing as a distraction, or tell them you're researching new careers. Sometimes all they really want to know is that you're actively looking for a new job.

Have any of you had to answer a question similar to this one? If so, what approach did you use?

Do You Know the Answer to "Stupid" Questions?

YumSugar — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 01:01:33 -0700

I somehow stumbled across the fact that today is Ask a Stupid Question Day - a "holiday" created in order to get children to ask more questions in school - and thought it might be fun to ask a few yum-related "stupid" questions. I took a poll around the Sugar HQ and these were some that came up. Don't worry if you don't get the answer right, you're not the only one who didn't know. And if you have any of your own "stupid" questions, be sure to leave them in the comments! Source

Burning Question: When Is It OK to Eat Moldy Food?

YumSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 05:50:51 -0700

The other day, a co-worker asked me whether it was OK to eat a piece of cheese that had grown slightly moldy. That question sparked a discussion on how to handle moldy foods. Can you ever simply cut off the bad parts and proceed to eat the rest? Find out the answer when you read more
