Bread maker turning out lopsided loaves
I have a Panasonic breadmaker. Recently loaves having been emerging very lopsided. It sounds OK when in action - like it is mixing the dough - is it possible that it is only heating one side of the loaf or the motor is somehow defective. I have looked it up on the Panasonic guide and that says it is usually due to low…

Cleaning an old oil painting
I've got an old oil painting that is dirty/dusty from years of being in a room that had a wood fire. It isn't really worth anything money wise but has sentimental value. Does anyone know how to clean it up without damaging it by any chance, is there a product that could do this? I can't really afford to have it cleaned…

My fridge freezer finally conked out last night and I cannot get a new one delivered until sometime on Tuesday. The freezer part is still working thankfully as I'd just restocked after Christmas.
