Yeah, my first thought: They must go to the same waxer/threader

Ah Doug, it's a proud day for the NCLB , isn't it?

Well, going by what I've read on Jez, if one were to put lentils in a banana split, that would be all kinds of weird & wrong & worthy of shame. (*_~)

I've been using the remove from heat, cover, let sit for 3minutes method. Eggs turn out great every time. Yolks are soft, yet have enough 'give' to coat a bit of toast when dunked.

I'm reminded of a line James Coburn had in 'Charade' (@ the 1:45 mark.: You greenhorn... you fell for it)

Yikes! I got sympathy pains just reading that! I trust all is well now.

I agree with this. Especially as someone on the north side of 40, weight bearing exercise is helping with that bone density problem that runs in my family.

Late to the party, but wanted to add another one of my favorite quotes from Bossypants (emphasis mine):

Ugh, where to begin? Who thought it would be a good idea to post this confessional about being bullied so soon after this Schwyzer fuster-cluck? Not to mention that awful follow-up from Jez.

Yeah, the way the article opened with the awful classist tone made it difficult for me to continue reading - in fact, I gave up. I don't think it was smart to publish a self confessional of this nature so close to the Hugo Schwytzer (sp?) dust-up & the Jez "Stages of Grief" non-apology.

ATK recommends 'shocking' the garlic: Insert whole, unpeeled cloves on a thin wooden skewer and place in a saucepan of boiling water for 30 seconds. Then dip into a bowl of iced water (I use a pint glass) to halt the cooking. Then peel the cloves & add according to your pesto recipe.

And yet the Jeopardy judges gave Rose Perez a pass when she mispronounced Mount Vesuvius in 'White Men Can't Jump'
