Hoppin' Johns is pretty cheap (if you make your own stocks) and amazingly good, but really any bean/pea and rice is good food along with some cornbread. Variations on this concept are prevalent across the world (bean+grain in broth with side of corn/bread). My favorite throughout the winter is collards and cornbread.

Maybe not as good as interviewing a recent MD graduate, but last fall Wired did a nice piece that had an infographic plotting evidence versus efficacy. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2… So of course Vit D is still great, but you can see where the multivitamin falls in the efficacy column.
A similar but not overseas option would be this Kickstarter, AL13 Premium UltraThin Aerospace Aluminium Bumper.
I really do think Hudson Hawk should get credited somewhere for the clockless timer concept.
For my personal computer, which doesn't require as many specialized programs and is used more for things like pictures/videos and communication, I like my MBP. The unix base make it seem super quick all the time and the basic power settings means the battery on my laptop last pretty long (and of course the hardware is…
Thanks for thinking of Clive Thompson. I typically enjoy his pieces in Wired and think he is pretty insightful. My favorite part was that he figures out ways to disengage from the hourly/daily/weekly news cycle. No offense LH, but if I could bring myself to do this with you I am sure I would be more productive. I have…
I have been struck lately how there are many fields where this sort of move forward and fix it later mentality doesn't actually work. I heard this mentality mentioned as the reason Ron Johnson failed with JCPenny, and I can definitely see how it doesn't apply to science/research either. In other words, there are times…
I didn't want to re-post this (your piece above), but this 99u post made me go back and create a desktop shortcut with the direct compose URL. Thanks.
Is this going to stay free? I tend to be leery of free apps that handle so much personal info.
Alan, you beat me to this topic. I was just about to share my favorite videos for breaking down a chicken over on hackerspace. A huge resource I don't know if you have been watching is Martha Stewart's Cooking School. Pretty basic, but the things I have learned have been amazing (for instance, how to cook an egg every…
So really the condensation from removing the wrap from the fridge (into my humid climate) helps it stick. Crazy.
"of Choice"? I would +1 real life.
Either it hasn't warmed up all the way, or its the method you are using. If it is thick, then doing something in a skillet or on a grill won't provide much uniform heat. You could always sear then finish in the oven with a meat probe in it (that's how I like to do steaks). Just take it off 5-10 degrees (I forget)…
I think its really funny that hockey on NBC is the example, since I think "Doc" might be my favorite announcer on TV and I would never silence him. Now Verne Lundquist I despise.
I would like to point out that the proper way to fry chicken (in the south) is to pan fry it.
I have been searching for one from some years ago, the year that TBS was the boring station and had grass growing. It was an ad from an actual sewing supply company, and it was a left-handed sewer, that was an actual disembodied hand. I think it was brilliant because no one would expect that company to do a prank.
Something I have learned about loyalty cards is to just use my phone number. It adds less than 30 seconds to the transaction, and I never have stuff on my keychain or wallet.
Your previous comment is one my favorite in a very long time. Thank you.
Call your local university extension agency. Surely they know more about your local climate, soils, and pest/drought concerns. Every state has a land grant college (I think), and those schools have extension offices everywhere (or at least they have some). Call them, send them some soil and get it analyzed, and then…
