While I choose not to step on the third rail of Passover, may I offer this bridge across the divide? (Sorry for the mixed metaphor.)

Is the adapter’s HMDI port active or passive? Passive adapters are not suitable for cable lengths longer than 1.5 meters. Seen this over and over at my school, teachers buying inexpensive USB-C to HDMI adapters that won’t connect to our projection systems or TVs with 15 ft cables.

Some readers will have to live vicariously through your posts. My Dad told me that there is no unbleached flour to be had anywhere near where he lives. Savor your focaccia for all of us.

My Prius c has been sitting curbside since Mar 17. I ran it in place the 28th, battery was fine. I went for a drive today, a few miles. I didn’t feel good about a long distance drive, but it was better than nothing. Since traffic is reduced, a lot less dirt builds up. Yesterday’s rain took care of it.

As I approach retirement next year, I decided to go through my password manager and shift my email address from work to gmail. It also gave me the opportunity to attempt to close/delete unused accounts. Very few websites have a clear path to do this. I have spent endless hours scrolling down to try to locate a support…

A week ago, my Dad sent me an email from his Rabbi. It included this: “They say this is a time for social distancing. I don’t particularly like the term. It is a time for prudent physical distancing. But ever more so, it is a time for greater social closeness and connecting with family and community.”

1972. Betty Crocker came out with a boxed mix called “Snackin’ Cake.” Mix, Bake and Serve in the Same Pan. You only added water. I had nearly forgotten about it until I read this post.

I would consider buying one. I only need it for my second floor bedroom, I’d like to be able to open the window on nice days, close it to keep out the noise of the street. If it really is a quiet as they say, it’s quieter than my desk fan. I would like to know more about cleaning it, what kind of filters it has, but…

Please, please, please check that it is an ACTIVE adapter before buying. Only ACTIVE adapters allow long HDMI connections. I learned this the hard way. Email Anker if necessary.

My mom’s hamantaschen were a yeast dough, like a sweet challah. After the second rise, they would pouf up and looked exactly like a tricorn hat. She would use an egg wash, giving the cookies a shiny top. Sure, she filled them with the poppy seed stuff, but also her home made apricot jam. Most recipes call for a sugar…

Pasta bowls: Mushrooms, swiss chard, sausage, deglaze with a little white wine. Add pasta sauce. Toss with spoon friendly pasta, serve with a dose of parm on top. Substitute cooked barley or freekeh for the pasta, different vegetables for the mushrooms and chard.

A long ago Christmas Eve dinner was based entirely on a package of all butter puff pastry I picked up somewhere or other. The appetizer was a pastry flatbread with goat cheese and caramelized onion. The main was my take on a wellington, goat cheese substituted for the pate, small pieces of beef substituted for the…

I have a vacation to Philadelphia & Chicago in early May. I booked everything 2 weeks ago, before things blew up. Flights are non-refundable, AirBnB refund period has passed. Capital One’s travel insurance covers accidents, roadside assistance, but not trip reimbursement. “Travel insurance” from the airline covers…

Pistachios. Depending on where I source them, they average $7.00/lb. I’ve bought them in 3 lb bags, probably three or 4 times.

Indeed. The crispiness is the thing. I have, on my treat day, asked for the chili & cheese in a separate bowl from the fries. It slows down my eating too, instead of racing to consume it before it all turns to mush, I savor it, one fry at a time. (Kinda like nachos, am I right?)

Now, that is a great idea. A logical argument, an indisputable conclusion. BBQ sauce has been added to my culinary palette. My sincere thanks.

In my mind, it’s like people asking me (as a film studies major) what is my favorite film. It depends on my mood, the genre, the time period.
