Moliner’s Answer:

A or B, it doesn’t matter.

It really depends on the situation.

  • Example 1: if you’re on the phone, you can’t really be expected to use both hands on the wheel to make such a sharp turn. Or to slow down for it. The other driver will stop and wait for you; no worries. Go ahead and use both lanes.
  • Example 2: There may be something blocking the view of the side street. If you can’t see around the turn, feel free to drive like there’s no other car. If you can’t see them, it means they aren’t there. Go ahead and use both lanes.

Conventional Answer:

B. You should always stay in your own lane.

You can’t count on another driver to do any particular thing. Or to even be paying attention.

This method works for Professional or Home versions.

Basically, the process is:

Raspberry-Vanilla Pudding

Submitted by drew on

We have a picnic on July 4 where we are supposed to bring a dish. An hour before the picnic... what should we bring? We have lots of fresh-picked raspberries and that vanilla pudding I got last week. After a few minutes of Google-searching for things that use those two ingredients (no results, except for baked items and stuff of the wrong kind), I am going to make my own recipe for this.
