If I don't eat broccoli stalks, is it a better deal to just buy the crowns?

Yes I know I should be eating the stalks too, but sometimes i just don't want to! What's smartest for my dollar?

If I don't eat broccoli stalks, is it a better deal to just buy the crowns?
it probably evens out in the long run. You save money and waste by not chopping the crowns up but paying more per pound than the regular broccoli.





Buying the regular broccoli costs less per pound but you have to chop it up yourself. I say buy whatevers on sale that week.
Reply:Generally, broccoli is cheaper when bought whole, instead of just the crown. You're basically paying someone to cut the stalk off for you. Check the prices at your grocer.





Just remove the stalk and trash it or if you have a dog, give him a few pieces to munch on. My dogs love veggies! I also toss unused pieces of vegetables into my compost pile.





Take care!
Reply:no, cause just for cutting and throwing away the stalks, the grocery store cahrges a couple of dollors more. you can cut and throw them yourself and get the same result and save yourself a couple of bucks. and when you feel like eating them, then you have them to eat.
Reply:DUH, Okay, when you aren't going to EAT SOMETHING, its OBVIOUSLY, a BETTER DEAL, if you DON"T BUY IT
Reply:I've never seen them sold without the stalks before - but if you can buy them that way, then do it!
Reply:I really don't know any place that just sells broccoli crowns. Birds, rabbits and guinea pigs like the stalks though.
Reply:i find that buying just the crowns is better. you pay to not have the stalks on them.
Reply:I've never seen any sold without stalks.
Reply:just buy the crown
Reply:find a partner who use to eat stalks only. so that both of u can share the expenses.

Has anyone bought Casting Crowns' Christmas album, Peace on Earth?

I got it for my birthday and it is great! My favorite track on the album is 'I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day'. If you're a fan of Casting Crowns and haven't got 'Peace on Earth' yet then hurry. The Wal-Mart near my house sold out of the album as well as a small Christian bookstore which sold out the album twice.

What is the best dental work for me? Crowns? Veneers? Whiter?

I have semi stained (yellow) teeth. I'd like to get my teeth whiter. I'd also like to have my two front teeth because they are too long because of bonding. I don't want to have four or six fake looking bright teeth on top though and the rest look even more yellow.

What is the best dental work for me? Crowns? Veneers? Whiter?
I'd go with the whitener. You can do Crest White Stips or the other whitener product with the trays yourself. Are the bonding teeth yellow too? If any teeth were made yellowish during the bonding coloration they won't whiten with the whitener. You can ONLY whiten Natural Enamel. If you have crowns, veneers, or bonding they will stay the color they are now.


As for your 2 front teeth being too long, can you have them redone with veneers instead of the bonding? Ask your dentist. They won't look fake if you don't go overboard with the whitener.


Don't get crowns on your front teeth ~ eventually the underneath metal will show because the gums receed with age and you will have black lines above the proceline crowns.
Reply:I would say, from your brief description, that I would consider bleaching your teeth, and perhaps reducing down your front teeth. This is the most conservative approach. And afterwards you need not worry about things falling off or breaking. They would be your natural, untouched teeth.


Failing that, I would suggest veneers since they require the least reduction of your natural teeth. Veneers can change the shape and color of your teeth and smile. But you run the risk of having to replace them for whatever reason from time to time.

A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance.


It can cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough tooth left. It can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that's already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. It's also used to cover a dental implant.


If your dentist recommends a crown, it's probably to correct one of these conditions. Your dentist's primary concern, like yours, is helping you keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright -- literally, your crowning glory.


Crowns are usually composed of porcelain. All-porcelain (ceramic) restorations are particularly desirable because their color and translucency mimic natural tooth enamel.








All-porcelain restorations require a minimum of two visits and possibly more. The restorations are prone to fracture when placed under tension or on impact. The strength of this type of restoration depends on an adequate thickness of porcelain and the ability to be bonded to the underlying tooth. They are highly resistant to wear but the porcelain can quickly wear opposing teeth if the porcelain surface becomes rough.


Another type of restoration is porcelain-fused-to-metal, which provides strength to a crown or bridge. These restorations are very strong and durable.


The combination of porcelain bonded to a supporting structure of metal creates a stronger restoration than porcelain used alone. More of the existing tooth must be removed to accommodate the restoration. Although they are highly resistant to wear, porcelain restorations can wear opposing natural teeth if the porcelain becomes rough. There may be some initial discomfort to hot and cold. While porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations are highly biocompatible, some patients may show an allergic sensitivity to some types of metals used in the restoration.

Reply:Hi if i was you i would bleach all your teeth until you get a satisfactory colour, your dentist will make a note of your new colour and then make you two veneers for your front teeth, to match the colour of your whitened teeth. That way you have a bright smile and your front teeth will be fixed!!
Reply:If you have bonding on your front teeth whitening gel wont whiten them. Veneers.....they are cheaper then crowns


Which is better - crowns or laminates for your teeth?

I have some crowns now %26amp; will be having more crown work done soon. Will laminates work as well, as long, as crowns usually do? Also, is there a big difference in price?

Which is better - crowns or laminates for your teeth?
If you already have crowns, you might want to stick with the same as the color and light reflective properties are different between the two materials....


That way they can match the color and such....Price wise...in our office crowns are cheaper than laminates....


The pharoahs of ancient egypt are always depicted in heiroglyphics and statues as wearing crowns?

but none have ever been found in archeological digs,why

The pharoahs of ancient egypt are always depicted in heiroglyphics and statues as wearing crowns?
It seems to be the case that the crowns of the king of ancient Egypt were for the office/position of the king, not a possession of each individual ruler. Crowns and various other headgear as depicted in art and hieroglyphs were associated with the role, not the individual. Thus, they probably would not have been included in royal tombs but would be preserved and passed down to each king.


This certainly seems to be the case with the few royal tombs we know of that were undisturbed or relatively undisturbed until being excavated by archaeologists - namely the tomb of Tutankhamun and the tombs of the later 21st and 22nd Dynasty kings at the site of Tanis in the Delta.
Reply:well, they probably ate at burger king a lot and those crowns wont last, you know they are made of cardboard.........
Reply:the Crowns were passed from Pharaoh to Pharaoh, so when we find the last tomb you'll find the crown if it hasn't been stolen.
