    Coffee

    I add good chocolate to my hot milk in the french press to make the best foamy hot chocolate you'll ever have.... add that to some strong dark roast coffee... heavenly.

    Coffee

    I have two french presses... both from IKEA. One for making coffee, one for frothing milk or making tea. (why have a tea pot when a french press serves so many other purposes?). I drink Melita dark roast, fresh ground. LOVE it. VanHoutte has some good coffee too. One of my faves is from...

    Internships

    I have recently been discussing with a friend the idea of going in and helping out a little bit where I can, and being a fly on the wall where I can't, at the company they started and run. It was with a bit of a chuckle that we realized it would, in essence, be an internship. Not really a very...

    Favorite Cheese.

    I've never had a chance to try it. My family tends to be somewhat fond of blue cheeses and pungent swiss style cheeses, so I'd give it a whirl. I'm curious if it's one of those cases of 'please don't judge it by the smell.' lol

    Favorite Cheese.

    I do have to add Brie as a close second to swiss. Melted with cranberries and pinenuts, or pesto, or roasted red peppers. Put on a burger with mango salsa, or in a sandwich with turkey and cranberry sauce... so yummy, so versatile.

A physics professor they had on the program discussed his theory that quantum entanglement...

    Couple abort twin boys in quest to have a daughter

    The story of an Australian couple who aborted twin boys because they want to use IVF to ensure they have a daughter is attracting a lot of attention, especially among pro-lifers, and understandably so since the case seems to foreshadow an ethics-free future of eugenics. But the couple, who...

    Video Game Motion Systems

    Okay, so, I have some money to spend and some hyper kids to spend it on. But I also have a husband who likes gaming for a few days a year when he's too sick to do anything else, and wants decent graphics when he does it. So what's my best bet in your opinions? Wii? XBox Kinect? PS3 Move?

    Is Alzheimer's Contagious?

    I Amaze Myself Sometimes!

    My husband used to turn bolts while sleeping standing up on the rigs. I used to nurse my children while fast asleep. I can cook a meal while tutoring math/spelling, and not recall cooking the meal. I used to have moments (no, I'm not proud of them) where I would arrive home and realize I...
