I do this too, but I wait until the white has started to set enough to cushion the yolk and keep it from moving around. Then I carefully flip.

They also probably did it so that he could collect money before he starts (started?) to screw up. Then, when people who have donated since January ask for their money back, the “campaign” can say, “No Backsies!”

I agree, but then I got lucky. I started out like that with one troop, then I transferred schools and troops into one run by a former Boy Scout leader. We never really did the whole pitch your own tents thing, but we went camping at the Girl Scout camps and us girls essentially ran the outing. Seriously, the…

I can attest to the dragging. I started watching the first episode, fell asleep, then woke up during the second episode. Except, I only realized it was the second episode when Netflix counted down to number 3. I seriously thought I only missed like 5 minutes of the first one.

I’m an Orphan Black fan too. I saw this with my friend today, and while it does have a hint of Orphan Black by using the same actress for multiple parts, this is different. As you get further into the film, it begins to explain how they got into the position and why they have the protocols in place. It’s actually a…

Can I say this is one of my top pet peeves? I mean, seriously. If you want to hover (which is ridiculous by the way), then wipe the seat after you. There have been times I walked out and used another stall because someone who should have perfect aim if they used the toilet the right way peed all over the seat.

Hence the reason why the last formally declared war was WWII. All those other little skirmishes since then can be considered “police actions”.

I think a big part of the indoctrination is the very real threat of “third generation punishment”, where everyone in a person’s family, down to the third generation (think grandparents/grandkids), are imprisoned along with the offender. For a culture with very deep respect for family members, this would be the…

Could this be because they only had a civil ceremony, and not a church one? As the future King of England and the future supreme head of the Church of England, he is expected to follow the rules and laws of the Church, and one of those rules (since relaxed, but may still be valid for royalty) is that remarriage after…

Sorry, it’s the first thing that came to mind...

This is how I bathe my dog. We have a separate tub/shower stall thing going on in our bathroom and the shower has a door, so there is no escaping. Usually, he gets his bath first, and then I let him out. Throw a towel over him, give him a good rub, and let him parade around the bathroom as he likes. He usually…

You should probably find out. There have been multiple stories of ignoring patient choices just because it would be against the beliefs of the particular religious organization. Most of the times, it involves pregnant women who are forced to bring their fetuses to term even if it means that the woman (or the fetus)…

Every time something like this comes up, I remind my mother and sister that under no circumstances am I to be brought to a Catholic or religious-affiliated hospital, especially if I was pregnant. I do not want any religious ideology affecting the type or quality of healthcare I receive. If a procedure or treatment…

I do the same. I have a quilted handle cover and after cooking and plating, I grab it with an additional potholder and run it under the water. The water on the hot pan acts just like deglazing. A little scrub, a quick swipe with a towel to clear off extra moisture, and back on the stove top to cool and dry. If…

When my mother was young, her father would cook on Sundays. She told me he would serve “roast rump of brontosaurus” (roast beef) or “roasted dodo bird” (chicken). The meals may have been very simple meals but she remembers those especially.

Same here. Then it became, “Erin, put that book down and eat your dinner.” Or “You said one more chapter five chapters ago!”

Exactly. The healthy portions of EVOO are heat sensitive and can be destroyed at high heat. So using a good EVOO for cooking is actually wasting money. I keep a small bottle of delicious tasting EVOO in the cabinet for finishing, but I have a bottle of the refined OO for cooking.

Current love: Nathan’s Cheese dogs. Very yummy.

Spaceballs is what got me into Mel Brooks (that and Men in Tights). I caught it when it aired on TV and was hooked. It may not have been one of his *best*, but it’s still my favorite. Without it, I would have passed on all the other wonderful Mel Brooks gems!

+1. This is also good when a child gets lost in a store.
