I can sympathize with those that wouldn't want to live in such a place (I would count myself among them) but I don't understand why it should be considered necessary to disclose this information. It's not a life-threatening hazard, like mold or radon gas. It's an event that happened in that location, like a…

But how does this effect the viability of a property, really? Let's ignore any supernatural potential. That just leaves the stigma attached to the property. Does that really leave any lasting mark on the house? Does it make the house any less liveable?

I have to agree with you. It's just so damned lifeless! Give me a little bevel and emboss with some drop shadows any day of the week.

As a fat BTTF fan, this comment got a true and surprisingly explosive guffaw out of me. Thank you!

He explodes and the fall out kills us all.

I have never had the want to eat a raw oyster before today. This is not to say I haven't enjoyed oysters (fried oysters are akin to Heaven's own mana) or that I would have scoffed at them should they have been offered to me. The sad case is that I've just never had the occasion. Now, here I sit at 1am on New Year's…

Got a microwave? You can melt chocolate! Just do it slowly in small bursts. We have the best luck starting with 45 seconds, stirring, 30 seconds, stirring, and 15-20 sec bursts stirring in between each. When the chocolate looks MOSTLY melted, just keep stirring it as the residual heat will melt rest.

I've been using MyFitnessPal exclusively. I wouldn't have been able to get this far without it!

Honestly - and this is coming from a self-professed food addict with a large weight problem - I've found the trick to eating less is just eating less. Tracking what you eat (yes, calorie counting or whatever preferred method you like) has really helped. Instead of eating 3000kcal a day I shifted to a healthy 2000…

Point of contention, Mr. Author, sir: toast is well and good, but have you ever tried these slow-cooked scramblers with shaved avocado, a grating of God's cheddar, and sriracha in a bowl? It's pure heaven.

I absolutely would love Ting's service, but Sprint's coverage up in the boondocks of Vermont is mostly abysmal unless you live right in what passes for a "city" here. Sadly, that means I'm stuck with one of the two evils: AT&T (my current carrier) or Verizon.

Fuck that. I present my wife's Sweet Potato Casserole recipe. Will blow that monstrosity out of the water.

OK, here's the deal. Thanksgiving dinner will be an all-day process. But it doesn't have to be stressful. Start well in advance. Plan out what you want. Our spread is pretty predictable:

To hell with adding it after. Any time I boil potatoes, I throw a couple of Knorr Vegetable Bouillion Cubes right into the water. Then you can use the broth to flavor whatever else you're cooking (especially helpful with mashers) or you can package it up, freeze, and have ready-made soup or sauce base whenever you…

Mashed sweet potatoes are divine - especially with a little butter and some english cheddar cheese mixed in - yes, it's delicious. Don't argue, just try! - but they do not belong in a Thanksgiving spread. A well executed sweet potato pie or casserole, however, is a different story.

Don't diss the Cabot, man. That stuff is like gold up here in the Green Mountain State! Also, you guys are getting ripped off. The prices are around half what you're paying when you buy it from one of the factory stores ;)

I'm actually a little surprised by this. I've visited the plant (the one in Vermont, not any of the others) and they're very strict with QC and hygiene practices. The last I visited the employees on the plant floor were generally wearing what amounts to clean-room suits. You really must have pissed someone off to…

Little of this, little of that. Raising two kids in Barre with my wife, mostly. Doing well, all things considered!
