Looking good Juan. I just inherited some more plants for my office as a coworker just moved back to Brasil... they aren't quite as colorful mind you.

I am quite lazy, so the simpler the recipe the better. For roasts, I usually stick them in a slow cooker in the morning with some onion soup mix and maybe a small amount of water if I am worried about burning (depends how fatty the roast is). By the time I come home from work it is time to put...

I firmly believe in the legalisation of all recreational drugs. It seems to be a fairly radical stance and I am used to fighting an uphill battle. It may be considered ironic that a person who once suffered from a drug related mental health breakdown would endorse such a view, however, I...

Yeah, one cannot buy shortening here in Germany... at least I haven't found it anywhere. Should be able to find some substitute... it's only pie crust.

Theres an idea too. Bringing some back.

Ah! I get you! I will definitely try that.

I've thought about it. But it almost seems like cheating. Hey if it works, that is all that counts I guess.

Although that sounds like a fantastic idea, I am not sure how that would affect a sauce... I must remember this, in any case.

Yeah, it would be nice to have some fantastic tomatoes, even if it was just for a week or month. Now that I think about it, I think Herr Westermeier, the groundskeeper at my institute keeps a tomato garden in the corner... I wonder if he would let me have a patch.

Do you think I could successfully grow tomatoes in an apartment? Maybe I could grow them at work...

My mother in law makes a fantastic tomato sauce (she is Italian). Whenever I do it, the colour is wrong? I think it's the tomatoes. Maybe it's because I have an electric stove? The recipe seems so super easy. She heats up some garlic in a pan with oil. She adds tomatoes. When the pasta is...

It occurs after five years living abroad as mentioned in the buried paragraph 222 of the Canada elections act. This does not occur if you are working for the government or an international orgainization and occurs if you want to come back to Canada or not. The problem being, after 5 years, you...

There is a measureable difference in the success rates (graduation, marks, what have you) associated with private and public schools favoring the private schools. To me, this is not debateable, the statistics are to be found in many places. However, when one corrects for class variables (such...

Officials in Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Thuringia and Rhineland-Palatinate have banned the drink after health officials noted trace amounts of cocaine in cans of the cola. "The coke is not harmful, but it violates food law," said Thomas Schulz, a spokesman for the Thuringian Ministry of...

Business as usual: bad reporting. Nothing to see here in 2009, 1876-1878 was weirder.

You can compute a priori the absorption coefficients of carbon dioxide using quantum mechanics. The example of a test tube filled with carbon dioxide is supposed to be easily understood and easily reproducible while catching the major details, which it accomplishes. You should stop accusing...

You have a vial of water. You shine a laser beam through it and measure the absorption. You now increase the level of carbon dioxide and perform the same measurement. You measure an increased rate of absorption. Conclusion: carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation. Then: You measure the rate...

Generally, stochastic phenomena can be well modeled, especially when the underlying physics are well understood. There is an experiment I did during my undergraduate degree called the Millikan experiment where one attempts to measure the electric charge. The motion of the particles (for me they...

You certainly did not try. The experiments that Tonington outlined show that carbon dioxide will increase the absorption of infrared radiation. It is a direct proof and has nothing to do with probability, the exact measures will have a dispersion but that is normal and does not make it...

Really, he frequents this forum? I am coming to the conclusion that you possess none of the skills necessary to carry on a discussion about this issue.
