Whenever I see an article on using something in the kitchen, or anywhere I suppose, in a new way, I stop to ask myself three questions that closely mirror those of the judges on Cutthroat Kitchen: Does it look like A, does it taste like A and does it remind me of A. I change the first one to Does it save me time over…

My obstacle to perfect scrambled eggs is not a recipe or patience, it is that when I prepare them correctly my family complains they are underdone. So I make myself proper eggs and turned the rest into something like a crumbled egg mcmuffin's "egg." For my wife, who has an excellent palate and works as a chef, I put…

It looks like someone cut out a gingerbread person before the left circle was stamped out. :-) I was skeptical of using a cookie stamp, as complicated designs tend to bake into blobs and then one gets featured in the various cooking fail blogs. But I tried a couple of different ginger dead men and sugar skull presses…

Anthony Bourdain has a short video of how cast iron skillets (and steak au poivre) at the Borough Furnace.

Someone mentioned audio work/editing/production earlier. And I saw video work mentioned too. I use mine for video work: editing and production, which also includes audio editing, Photoshop, AfterEffects (motion graphics), a text editor, chat window(s), email and 30 or 40 browser windows looking for stock music,…

You do realize that your post is 141 characters long, right? You could drop the final period and tweet it, become part of a real time discussion. I kind of hope that was intentional but I imagine it was not.

This may be just a semantic quibble; if so I apologize for the misunderstanding. "Happiness" is a measurable physical event that shows elevated chemical levels and certain areas of the brain engaged in activity. It is not a default state, nor is it state that it is possible to continuously experience, minus certain…

I want to say right up front: I'm not a doctor. I travel around the U.S. filming procedures in ORs and have been doing so for about a decade. As one might imagine but hope not to hear or read, hygiene and safety procedures vary wildly.

Ha. It is such a fine line. If he or she is a sociopath, they are probably an asshole too. They are not mutually exclusive. There are versions of the Levenson psychopathy test on-line, but a quick test is not going to work very well. There are some behaviors that people suggest on-line and off that might indicate…

Empathy does not need to be taught. Empathy is a physical response in the brain. You either have the capacity for it or you do not. Kindness and compassion that stem from emotional empathy could possibly be taught, and responses that resemble cognitive empathy could probably be instilled through cognitive behavioral…

Sorry it took a while to respond. I just watched a Prime Video to double check that. Was not a problem for the root process I used, QemuRoot I think. Google Play Store and Amazon Store are both working, all the Amazon apps and all the Google Apps seem to be working.

I made a decision to root my Kindle HD. I was using Google Docs on all of my other tech devices, Amazon doesn't support Google Apps, it seemed like an easy decision. The decision was the only quick and simple part.
