Actually, if you do tons of baking, the Kitchen Aid stand mixers are machines you do not want. They are limited to fairly small batch sizes (which you should cut in half if you are using whole grain flours), with no more than two batches back to back (a 45 minute cool down is needed after the second batch), and a…

It all depends on where you are and where you go. I live in the Dallas area and switched from Sprint to T-Mobile. Sprint had numerous dead spots in my usual commute through the area. T-Mobile lets me stay connected.

More like Freddy. Or a horcrux.

You might be surprised at how little temperature change occurs in a house during the day. We have a moderate sized single floor home, about 2,400 sq feet. In the summer in Texas, it is unusual for the house to gain more than 10 degrees during the day. In the winter, to lose more than that.

We had a Honeywell programmable and were doing pretty well with it. The problem with programmable thermostats is most people don't. We did.

With Sprint, we were paying about $220 a month for 3 lines with unlimited data, voice and messaging. I looked at the actual data usage for all three users.

I just paid almost $500 to get out of a Sprint contract.

The "officer safety" issue is largely a red herring. According to a recent article, (http://www.psmag.com/navigation/pol…) about 111 officers died last year in the line of duty. While that is 111 too many, it is worth looking at further. 77 died in auto related incidents. 44% of those were not wearing their seat…

I'm with Moe. If something needs salt, you can add it later. Unsalted butter has a much better taste! As we returned after spending 3 months in Europe, the airline served us salted butter. It was a shock, I'd never realized how vile it is.

There's one stage of worse.

The good ones are a pure delight. The cheap ones, not so much. Of course, if you don't like butter, and don't like butter cookies, you wouldn't appreciate them whether they were good or bad.

How about running a hive five for the best Nexus 5 case? The N5 seems a little fragile and a bump case really isn't enough (don't ask me how I know this).

It is a rather biscuit like crust. It's not bad, but it's not what I think if when I thin about pizza. The labor savings is rather minimal compared to a real crust, so I'd rather make a yeasted or sourdough pizza dough. I make them ahead, par bake them, and freeze them so all I have to do is top them and bake them…

If you use pizza stones (and you really should, they even make frozen pizza bearable), you need to preheat the oven for an hour. The dough can rise while the oven pre-heats.

A quick note... if 25% of products fail, which is an unacceptable number, 75% are still not failing.

My wife had two Toshiba laptops, both died prematurely.

They never go anywhere anyway. It's harder to get arrested in your parent's basement than when you're pulled over for speeding.

Use gluten free self-rising flour. You may have to go to a few health food stores to find it.

Race is just one part of "standing out". A large picture of Che Guevera might increase the hassle, as would a cute logo of an Molotov cocktail brandishing anarchist on your rear window.

Add fresh basil and balsamic vinegar as well. Some decent balsamic vinegar, not the stuff you got at the corner grocery store that also sells cheez-whiz.
