P.S. I mentioned it to the Cooksmarts folks, too, but awareness is good for everyone. I don't think someone would continue calling it KAFFIR instead of MAKRUT after learning what it means. (posted again here in case the comment-reply gets buried)

Ummm... remember how we're not using that word anymore? [please use "makrut" lime]

but... once you start, you can't stop, you can never set it down.

When I print out signs/menus/flyers, I use the squint test: Hold at arms length, squint, and if still sort of legible, you're good to go. If there's too many italics, serifs, and stick-skinny fonts, I can't read it and likely, older folks with vision issues will have issues.

You know he's a real chef, because tattoos. //snark

Ongoing joke - the Papyrus Punch: whoever sees Papyrus first gets to "punch" the other person (like slug-bug/punchbuggy)

Maybe your wife is like me: I can't justify spending money on some stuff. I put things in my amazon cart and watch the price bounce around, but I can't pull the trigger. My husband has to remind me sometimes, "you know, some people spend that much on [starbucks over a week] [one pair of shoes] , you should just buy…

I deal with an offshoot of the stigma of being frugal because people only seem to pay attention when I am spending money "extravagantly". Nobody sees when I buy day-old bread or second-hand clothes. Most people don't notice we drive 11 & 13 year old cars. ...but eventually they notice that we take several vacation a…

dammit you figured me out you are some kind of genius you should work for the government they need more people like you

Oh, but those make for some of my fondest silly memories! And if you're polite and open, there's always some kind person who's DYING to practice their English with you.

oh no i LOVE that it doesn't support MMS. All the baby pictures and fail videos i'm not getting.... "OOPS. sorry, no my phone doesn't support that" Tee hee hee...

Thorin, I did say "when we forget these things in our bags" because that happens All The Time. I have a lot of photos of my hotel keyscards with the knives and boxcutters and pepperspray. Stuff that i would NOT like to have confiscated, but didn't take out of my stuff, and it gets through TSA all the time... but if I…

Lifehacker, are you TRYING to get us all held up by TSA when we forget these things are in our bags? First the fork thing, then this little device with switches and lights? (This is the stuff they find, not the actual dangerous stuff; I could tell you how many times I've successfully traveled with knives in my…

Plus, it's an actual THING. Could you imagine trying to explain to TSA why you're packing a jacked-up fork that looks like some kind of improvised weapon?

It just kind of fits in the space available, on top of the original one. Just like the guy puts the fork in the space in the video.

come on people, don't reinvent the wheel, there's this thing, http://www.sears.com/first-watch-se… and it only costs $2. You don't even have to screw it into the strikeplate to make it work.

I entered my husband's info, (ultra slim, avg height, gray hair, blue-gray eyes) and they suggest all gray clothes. Dude would look like a slim gray ghost every day, and he would own more shoes than I do.

If you've ever wanted an easier way to move data on and off your Android phone, this 16GB flash drive includes a Micro USB plug and free file management software. If you're going on vacation and plan to take a lot of photos with your phone, this would be a great option for backing them up. [Sony 16GB MicroVault USB…

I feel like if you're going to manhandle limes like that, I should mention something about Phytophotodermatitis...
