In some of the books, the Light Side is described as being more powerful the more you surrender to the will (The Whills) of the Force. In lightsaber dueling, a defensive style is more powerful and the duelist should surrender their reflexes, actions and perception to do what the Force wills to happen. Where the Dark…

Take a needle or clean meat thermometer and poke a small hole in the wide end of the egg before cooking. Let’s the air bubble out.

Electric ovens are good. Can even be superior to gas with more even heat distribution. But stove burners are better gas.

If you have an oven with convection bake (or even without really), just lay your eggs out right on the middle rack and bake them at 350.  Same result.  Time will vary by how consistent your oven temperature is.  

Unplugged was such a great show.  Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains did incredible shows.  Eric Clapton’s show was hardly surprising, but the song tribute to the son he lost is still haunting.   So many great performances. 

The rumor is Penguin and Riddler are competing crime bosses.  Firefly is an enforcer for one of them.  Catwoman gets mixed up in it somehow.  And Batman is in full detective mode trying to figure out exactly what is going on.  More like Jack Nicholson in Chinatown than Christian Bale or Michael Keaton’s versions.  

His reason was weight loss due to life threatening heart problems.  So, I think he probably avoided it as long as possible. 

Follow a concept recently made popular by Penn Jilette. Pick one food and eat nothing but that for a couple of weeks. For Penn it was baked potato.  Nothing on it.  No butter.  No salt.  Just plain potato.   Completely reset your taste buds.  And then re-introduce good, home cooked healthy foods.  They will taste…

If you said the packet of dry french onion soup mix that I normally add to sour cream to make a dip, I’d be onboard with trying it. But, my family does NOT appreciate the addition of sour cream to mash potatoes AT ALL. Too creamy for them, they want starchy and thick.

I mean, do we really need St. Patrick’s Day?

By that same argument, you could argue that the Air Force is not needed, because during WWI all aircraft were Army aircraft.  And Army can do everything the Air Force ground forces can do.  

I’ve had goat in a lot of Indian/Pakistani/Middle Eastern style dishes. It’s like a milder flavor lamb. Maybe closer to beef.

In the UK, fancy dress means a costume party.  And I love the idea of a costume party wedding.  

A tenuous correlation at best. From your own examples, it doesn’t hold true broadly.

I live in a two story, wood frame house that was built in 1954. The second floor has a steep pitched roof that leaves two crawl spaces running down opposite sides of the house. Usually in the Spring and Fall, we’ll be sitting downstairs watching TV and start hearing noises from upstairs. Sounds like footsteps on the…

A few years ago I switch to a double edged safety razor and never looked back. The refill blades literally cost pennies each. The razor never clogs with hairs. And I can get a close shave on one pass with a new blade.

But not everyone is recording the people around them and asking them personal questions. The use of my image and voice for any commercial purpose, including something like monetized YouTube, without my permission is illegal. It is also a CIVIL court matter. A responding officer’s responsibility is to make a report,…

That “pumpkin knife” looks a lot like a drywall saw.  

The Exorcist does what very, very few horror films even attempt to do. Combat manifestations of evil with religious good. It is very rare that you’ll see character use a religious symbol, a prayer, holy water or calling on a priest or rabbi to fight a monster, outside of a traditional vampire story.

Perhaps with fresh pierogies then, since I have easy access to fresh in my area.  (Polish delis are great.) Will be worth trying.
