Excellent tips; a suggestion from my past life as a sous chef - put the skin side of the chicken breast against the counter and pound the inner side of the breast. I always found that this allowed the meat to flatten easier and resulted in less tearing. When you’ve got to prep 100 breasts at a time for a reception…

Better not make any references to The Yearling then... Welp! :O

“But at the same time, keep your damn mailing address up to date—this is like, the most pathetic financial error ever, right up there with forgetting to update an autopay after a credit card expires.”

You think all those people started acting that way sometime January 2017? Are you serious? Did Trump invent the term ‘bureaucracy’ when he came to office? Get wise, these border stops and idiot goons enforcing crap policies than run roughshod over our rights have been around for decades (ever). Don’t try to foist this…

It’s not racist, it’s unconstitutional. These checkpoints can for some reason legally extend 100 miles inland from the physical border which is ridiculous. Without probably cause I will be silent not out of solidarity for anything other than my natural and constitutional rights.

It’s about a cost tradeoff. Cars can be made to be that autonomous but the sensing and processing power requried to do so is completely prohibitive for a consumer-grade product, even a high-end one. Fusing map data with dynamic sensor data is a method to vastly improve performance by effectively “pre-processing” key…

Equal parts mayonnaise and sour cream, add garlic & onion powders and salt. A little cider vinegar if you want to add some tang.

Looks fine to us, what’s the problem?

‘No’ is not harmful to kids, but it is enticing!

Let’s keep in mind that the Atari controllers had about two potentiometers and one mechanical depress-switch inside them and were made from a plastic molding process not optimized for thin, lightweight shells. Modern controllers contain almost as much computing power, if not more, than the whole Atari console! Not to…

If the educator laid hands on the child in any way that’s simple assault right there, any reaction from the child is arguably a response to that assault.

Happy to report the marbled eggs were a success! Lots of fun to make and the family was really wowed by the results. The only sad part is the polish renders the eggs inedible as the solvents do seep through the shells. Oh well, next year we’ll blow them hollow and that way they can be the display pieces they deserve…

I also miss the density of tech projects but I think this article is great. Thanks for putting this together, Beth. It’s a great variety of techniques to have some fun with a seasonal project this weekend. I appreciate that you didn’t just collect a few random article links and instead actually tried each approach and…

Do I have to be the one who says it? Ok.

Let’s be clear, there is a difference between a “loophole” and “the tax code”. A loophole is a mistake in the code that can be exploited to lower tax liability, this is NOT the same as using the tax code as it was intended to lower liability by performing economic actions which the government is encouraging via tax…

I just purchased the bundle, it’s DRM-free and PDF is one of the download options. You should have no problem printing these.

At first I thought you meant the cheddar, then I realized it was butter.... But now I really really want to poach a head of garlic in melted cheddar. Hmmmm The Anova may be getting a workout this weekend!

OK fellow garlic lovers, do you know about garlic scapes? It’s the central stem of a garlic bulb stalk and usually curls a few times at the end right before harvest. That whole stem tastes like mellow garlic. You can find them at some higher-end grocers but your best bet is is local farmers’ markets. You’ll only find…

Exactly, and that’s why Steve Jobs died of waffle cancer. Twice.

I guess you could say that guy has a.... Diesel VIN.
