Last night watching TV a Snuggie commercial came on, the woman asking for a Snuggie with more fashion, and *zap* fake animal print!

@exoren22: Very real - actually the concept initiator (Cylons were referred to as 'toasters')

@y0himba: I haven't found that a problem at the farmer's markets here, lots of college age folks and young couples (with and without offspring) patrolling the stands along with the older folks. #food

@imajoebob: Mmmm yeah turkey jerky, sounds so delicious. Of course it makes phenomenal gravy, all the flavor has cooked out with the juices. I'll stick with the brined.

@Ishbar: Water is drawn out of the cells until the salinity inside the cells matches that of the brine, then the brine (water and salt) can flow back inside the cells since the osmotic pressure is the same inside and outside. #thanksgiving

@Kent84: As someone else noted, after taking the 'before' pictures, e-mail them to the landlord, and if you can, to a work account (preferably one where they do regular backup and archive). #renting

Work - Windows XP (and IE6, yuck!)

When I remember I'm watching on the DVR, I'll FF through the ads. Most of the time I'm multi-tasking, skipping the ads would mean I have to stop whatever else I'm doing to get the remote and do it. #tv

@DeLarge: Would dry out just like the pumpkin. #home

@48crash: A normal dishwasher cycle isn't long enough to loosen and remove the really tough crusty stuff that's burnt on. Plus, in a normal cycle the actual contact time with the detergent is only a percentage of the total wash time (rinse, dry, etc.). #cleaning

Timely article - had some rather tough top sirloin that I decided to grind and put in a casserole last night, pulled out the KitchenAid grinder and the partially frozen steak, two passes on coarse and into the skillet. Since I bought the meat on sale, it was still cheaper than the 80% gristle that the store sells

@DWes: Doesn't help, you don't know how they will pay if they don't pull their check book out until all their groceries are rung up, like way too many people do. Actually, if they have the check book out before they are at the checkout, they are more likely to have all but the price filled out.

VOTE: A clock

@dwarf74: Since you aren't using detergent for this treatment, I'd put then in the detergent dish (built to handle powder or liquid detergent).

@jeffk: +1

@SNForrester: Or you can eat packing peanuts for free. Thats's what air popped corn tastes like to me. I've had air poppers, the West Bend flying popcorn saucer, and the Whirley-Pop, and the Whirley-Pop makes the best tasting popcorn. The West Bend collects moisture and makes it soggy, and air popped is bland and…

@spanky: Oh yeah, and that sandwich you borrowed has minced shrimp in it, and, oh wait, the diabetic just happens to be allergic to seafood too. Way to kill him, doc.

And they tested them boiled, of course. What better way to wash out nutrients than to submerge them in water that usually gets thrown out after cooking. Did they test steaming or stir-frying or any other way of cooking to see if it had a similar effect?

The only two lists that I even update on a regular basis are my christmas card list (spreadsheet) and the christmas gift list (text document, should convert it into a spreadsheet, maybe I'll put that on a 'to do' list...)

@Omrikon: Agreement here - mostly because I'm a bacon fan
