Lunch is a matter of convenience, I use my time for experimentation with breakfast and dinner. I am reasonably competent in the kitchen and play cookbook roulette on a regular basis. But for lunch it is more a means to an end than looking for variety. I am not a leftover eater, those are for the wife. It is odd, I…

During my school aged years I brought a PB&J every day from the time I was bringing lunch until I graduated high school. During that time I enjoyed a ratio slanted slightly higher to the jelly. My mother loved the fact that I never wanted anything else, made her life so easy. My love of PB&J came from the simple fact…

I’m with you on the Grape jelly is the ONLY jelly! I have experience as well, been eating a PB&(G)J sandwich for lunch 5 out of 7 days for more than 3 decades.

That is only one type of jughandle. There are 3 variations of the jughangle intersection with (and NJ people correct me if I am wrong) C being the most common type.

My biggest gripe with my main playlist on Spotify is that tracks that should be available as “local tracks” show as unavailable as well. It may be time to purge that playlist and rebuild it as it has gotten a tad out of control (1,700+) thanks to IFTTT applet “Add a saved song to a specific playlist on Spotify.”

You are correct on human ears being more tuned for high frequency direction. The former Mythbusters build team, Tori, Grant and Kari did an episode on this in their new Netflix show “The White Rabbit Project.” They did an experiment using a backup beep (think garbage truck) vs a white noise alarm, and the results were…

Exactly this. I have a 14.5 yr old Boston who is super sweet with me and my SO, and has relaxed with other people coming into the house, but if we are on a walk and there are other dogs he is a barking mad man. Doesn’t help that he is mostly blind, more deaf than hearing and has started to become confused and…

I like the idea of a cookout themed meal. I think hot dogs will not see an appreciable difference, but some fresh sausage would be interesting. My primary thought would be to see if you could improve french fries (fresh cut none of those frozen things) by cooking them first via sous vide and then frying them to finish…

I have only ever done steak from frozen (meaning not chicken, I have cooked many other items sous vide), and the key is you have to bring the water up to temp, put the frozen item into the bath, then wait for the water to come back up to temperature before starting your timer. For the steak I did from frozen it only…

She hasn’t even put a uniform on for UCLA yet. This past season she was not with the team because she was busy captaining the USWNT U-20 team in their World Cup. She has not played one minute for the Bruins, too busy kicking ass and taking names on the international stage. Captain of the U-20 team at 17, regular…

People seem to think that when you have 2 kids you ONLY have 2 kids. They seem to miss the times when maybe you want to bring a grandparent/aunt/uncle (or 2) of those children along. Yes you can drive more than one car but that is less convenient. Or once the children have friends and you want bring one or two (can’t…

Former VA resident, current FL resident here and I agree. I think simple is key, but it needs to be a bit more inclusive than your simple 4-point inspection. I believe the inclusion of functional headlights, taillights, and turn signals (maybe if people know they work they will use them... wishful thinking) is a…

Saying the Olympics result was a disaster is unfair. In a one and done portion of a tournament against a team specifically setup to beat your team by not playing offense for 90% of the game, going to penalty kicks is the worst outcome. I hate Penalty Kicks as they do not prove who the better team is, any team can beat…

I believe Jill has gotten the answer to her question of whether or not a 3-back set will work. The answer is no, at least not with Long at the center. I would like to see the 3-back set with either Sauerbrunn or Johnston at the center with a combination of Krieger, O’Hara, and Klingenberg (that is assuming Kling is…

Correct, mushrooms absorb water, but on 2% of their total weight, which is negligible. The use of the salad spinner is to remove water from the surface, not extract water from inside, you can achieve the same end result from letting them dry in a colander or patting them dry with a towel, the salad spinner is merely…

This is fantastic. My pup has become crazy for dried sweet potatoes, and I never thought of making them myself. Of course this is just giving in to the craziness, but let’s face it, he runs the show anyway. Oh and he loves all raw veggies, with the exception of radicchio and some herbs.

Not only grants, but some organizations involved with specific diseases (the ALS Association as an example that I happen to have first hand knowledge of) offer assistance to patients. My family did not need to take advantage of this, but we did donate the vehicle (90's GM conversion van) to the association when we no…

Some areas of Florida have these, but I have only encountered them (beeping/chirping/talking crosswalks) in small towns (see Dunedin, FL) that do not have a lot of traffic. The intersections that would be most suited to them do not seem to have any assistance. I do like the feature on some crosswalks when you push the…
