I love my toaster oven. It's one of the most used appliances in our house after the coffee pot. I roast chickens, bake casseroles and cook small pizzas. But it can't do a great number of things that our microwave can do. Defrost meat in a few minutes safely. Cook corn on the cob in a few minutes, perfectly. Steam…

We file separately...and have rental income in addition to my wife's two jobs. We also refinanced our house this year. It's a complex setup this year. I've been using Turbo Tax for about 10 years though, so I'm sticking with it this time, too.

That was an impulse buy of all time for me when I came across them on Amazon.

So totally agree with this. I've got it on my Mac, too.

The hospitals in my area sure seem to think it'd help and are pushing hard on Medicaid expansion which hasn't happened yet in my state.

Thanks for an honest to god smile, that was great.

My wife and I saw a few different couple's counselors together trying to improve our communication. Overall, it didn't work very well for us but we learned one really important thing:

At that point, I'd think going with canned tomato of some sort instead of jarred sauce would be 1) better and 2) cheaper. If you're already into veg and sautéing it's not any harder to toss some dried oregano and/or basil and maybe a pinch of red pepper flake in there along with salt and pepper. Or just get the…

If you're on iOS tweetbot will sync across devices to your last read tweet. (Comparatively expensive, though.)

I like a lot of this. My wife and I don't (and won't) have kids. Our math is so entirely different than the math of our friends who do have kids, as it should be. So when my wife wanted to get me a (used, but awesome) car for my recent birthday, she could splurge to an extent that, if we had kids, I'd imagine would…

Thanks for the suggestion of the brandy, she gave it a shot and really enjoyed the drink. Solved exactly the problem you noted.

We have one of each. A small black and white laser printer with wifi capability for probably 90% of what we print and a color, multifunction with ethernet capability for more specialized stuff. Both printers were really cheap on their own (less than $100) and by looking for reputable, discount toner providers we…

Exactly this. I use the notes app on my apple devices so I can add them from anywhere. My wife is a nurse and she'll often ask questions in ways I hadn't thought of and I'll always write those down so I remember to ask.

The most important thing that I've found over my decades as a professional patient (I have cystic fibrosis and had a lung transplant a little more than 4 years ago, I've done this A LOT) is to take notes. Take notes about what you need to talk to your doctor about and make sure you've got a list of the topics and…

Freezing coffee for longer term storage and then taking it out once and using it up quickly works great. The issue is more with freezing coffee as storage while also repeatedly pulling it out of the freezer to dose out beans to grind and then putting it back into the freezer. That leads to sweating and moisture…

Thank you. My wife and I will, fairly often, have fancy pants sandwiches that include cheese which we cook in some way so the sandwich will be hot and toasty and the cheese will be melted. We put things like rilettes or duck confit or avocado and duck bacon or fresh tomato slices into those sandwiches. We will…

1. You were lied to. I have a deep and abiding love for Dick's but it's not close In n Out in terms of quality or tastiness.

The last paragraph. Track it vs medal contention and wins.

No cut off. Without accessible abortion (and for a great many women, they're simply not) you can't start to reasonably speak about when a woman could make a decision and follow through on it. Beyond that, viability is fluid as is how many weeks a woman has been pregnant. We can't be precise about all of these…

One of the reasons I so love Dick's Drive In in Seattle is they don't do anything like this (or at least didn't several years ago when I lived there). Hamburger or cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard, or the Special with lettuce, mayo and relish or the Deluxe with two patties and cheese with lettuce, mayo and…
