Salad dressings. Three parts oil to one part vinegar. Then add what you like from there. Some people like more vinegar, some like less. This is simply a starting point. Spice things up with brown mustards, lemon or lime juices, etc.

Here's a way to LEARN how to say no. Volunteer to head a volunteer group. Typically in any organization, 10% of the people do 90% of the work. As the head of the group, if it's pretty active, you are always asking people to pitch in. You also quickly find out that there's never enough people. So at first you'll start…

So who are the "experts" who decide what is to go with what and why is their view sacrosanct? If you like champagne with your Chicago style hot dog, go for it.

I worked in the flavor industry for about 15 years. It is known that as people age they lose their sense of smell, which is why they don't eat as much they can't taste anything. That's true EXCEPT for people in the food industry who make a living by smelling and tasting things.

If you're looking for free, try Motels.

"Why You Should Never Skip Flossing Your Teeth"

My uncle was a Chrysler executive and had one of these for about a month. I was maybe 14 or 15 at the time. It sounded like a 747 when it would start up. Jay Leno has one in his car collection. I know the President of Mexico had one, but I don't know where that one ended up.

I'm a foodie. A cheap setup for getting into sous vide without shelling out big bucks is to get a crock pot and use a rheostat to control the temperature level. There are a variety of sites that tell you how to do it.

Talk to your state labor department. They'll take this on for free.

There's a museum in Michigan for food items that didn't make it. Your comment about adults eating carrots made for babies reminded me of it.

I'm a recruiter. I probably see a couple of hundred resumes a week.

My sister drives me and my other sister NUTS. I've been in her house when the phone rings, she isn't doing anything important, and she simply doesn't answer the phone.

Let's see on the same day that Gizmodo gives us the WORST tech of 2012 and gives us this about the iPad mini, " It's downright regressive—and until the inevitable retina iPad Mini drops, a lot of people will be (rightfully) looking toward the Kindle Fire HD or Nexus 7 instead."

WHOA!! I'm a recruiter. The LAST thing that you want to do is to give feedback about the employer, unless it's positive.

Someone made the comment that the guns used in these killings were not owned by the people who used them.

Didn't even touch on all the gadgets on all of the cars. The cars were the ultimate gadgets.

Your choice of dough was wrong AND you cooked them at the WRONG temperature for what you wanted. Low, long temperatures give you what you got. Cookies that spread out with no from. Higher temperature and shorter time.

I doubt the junk yard would give this guy $600.00 for that.

That was my first thought. The NFL and the NHL.

Let's see. Consumer Reports comes out with their carrier ratings and rates Verizon the best, with Sprint in the fair class. Eric starts his review off with "service sometimes stinks" and then goes on to tell us how great Sprint is. Your review hardly sings Sprint's praises. The best thing I'm seeing is, IT'S CHEAP.
