I love Burmese food and we don’t have too many options in Orange County, Ca. But I have my pick when we go to the Bay Area. I’ll have to visit Burma Superstar sometime. Tea salad is one of my favorite dishes.

My wife and I didn’t spend too much for our wedding. We had 120 guests and bought out a New American retro diner, which required a $6,000 minimum. We spent $11,000 on 2 open bars for 4.5 hours, passed hors d’oeuvres between the ceremony and the dinner, plated salads, two buffet lines, dessert bar, decor, flowers,…

For the person that has everything?

In 2008, my wife and I just got married and move into an apartment together. We stopped by West Elm on the way back from a getaway in Las Vegas and outfitted our living room with a floor sample couch, coffee table, matching arm chair, and console (still use it as AV rack...subwoofer, DVR, PS3 on one side, AV receiver…

I assume you dump more sugar and yeast into it at 90-110 degrees or whatever temperature yeast is active. Slap a bubbler (burper) release bib on it and wait about week add more sugar accordingly, bottle it, and chill it to deactivate the yeast. Probably should avoid the bottom 10% of it. It’s probably not much…

Good advice. I do that same when smoking a whole chicken too. Cooks faster and more evenly.

I don’t know how much I’ll be able to remember by the time I’m 70, but if I have trouble recalling numerous events as implied or feel the need to lie, I will take a pass on the office of AG. I both pledge and promise.

That’s just cruel, mean-spirited, and dumb. By the rules, if you don’t treat your visitors, Halloween law allows for tricks (the inconvenient kind) to be placed upon you.

I’m going to have to try some of these tactics for motivation. I tend to put things off because I want to do things all at once with the excuse that it’s more efficient. However, due to spontaneous or unplanned events, or just the busyness of the week, I just put it off and nothing gets done. I’m trying to break…

My aunt has a huge gathering with friends and family for Thanksgiving Day lunch and dinner (about 60 people come through...20 of which stay for both lunch and dinner). She fries 2 turkeys, roasts one, cedar planks a whole salmon, and grills 20lbs of babyback ribs (yes, she boils them first out of expediency and…

I’m not sure. On the one hand we both enjoyed ourselves, but now she’d like to do all of it more often. So it depends on how you want to look at it.

My guess is that the dealership’s insurance will cover the damages out of expediency and that’s why dealerships need insurance. The driver’s insurance will likely have a cap (probably well under $50K). The dealership and dealership’s insurance can sue the individual for the remainder. But as for the dealership’s…

I have a very common name and was probably confused with a different person who shares our name on the marketing list of various casinos. My now-wife and I would go to Vegas several times a year during college and really live it up in the early 2000s. We use to hike around Red Rock Canyon, go nostalgic at the…

I’ve always had a bias against Papa John’s, not because of the pizza itself but because of the personality of the founder/CEO. My high school economics teacher knew the guy in their younger years and disparaged the pizza guy as a real asshole. It was probably the most sincere statement an adult high school teacher…

Is it possible to keep the Shelby and get another car? My brother-in-law sold his Integra Type R right before the birth of his first kid. They bought a house, a Mazda CX-9, and realized they still had money and garage space for more cars. He’s a federal agent and are a single-income family of 4. He has since…

But that’s not how anything in this day and age works. The same argument can be make about NASCAR, the NFL, corn/sugar/fill in the blank subsidies, military defense for private corporations, mortgage tax deduction, 401(k) deferment, IRA deduction, child credit, etc. The purpose in taxation is not only to generate…

I hope Rowe gets good representation. She seems a hell of a lot smarter than I was at 18. This looks horrible for the university so they will likely cave in a settlement around at least in the $80K range...that’s enough for at least 2.5 years of school, right? Rowe should hit up some of the more prominent…

I thought about making a retractable system by gutting out an air-hose reel, but it’s really low on my list of things I need to do. One issue is that electrical cables that can handle 15kW/h of charging are pretty thick and are limited (partly out of cost) in length.

I can’t stress this enough, but folks should routinely inspect their vehicles and investigate any new noises, vibrations, and feedback issues.

It seems antithetical to force the police to make you martyr. It just seems like something that is forced on you, not something you can force onto someone else. Maybe a philosophical debate would prevent some folks from doing stupid stuff and harming others.
