    Religious Brainwashing of Children

    Kid Wins Over Teacher In Creationism Suit | I Am Bored While I don't support litigation, this is an illuminating example of how people attempt to brainwash captive, impressionable audiences. I've personally seen this time and time again, and would like to make a couple points, even though they...

    Yorkshire Pudding

    Actually, I hadn't read it. I'd seen a program on the origins of pudding (Good Eats, or some similar show). Oh gawd I'm a dork.

    Yorkshire Pudding

    Juan, have you ever tried to do your YP the TRULY original way? Where it would be on a rack beneath a racked joint of meat to catch the drippings?

    Yorkshire Pudding

    Oh absolutely, I've been known to deep fry from time to time... don't even want to calculate the amount of fat we get when I fry up a batch of bread dough... lol. But, I was curious as to how rich they are in the end, or if it was mainly a deep fry effect with fat left over at the end.

    Yorkshire Pudding

    I have to ask... does the full tablespoon of fat get absorbed by the pudding? Or is there some left when it's done cooking?

    Contains Nudity?

    I watched a show the other day, the disclaimer for which warned... "This show contains scenes of nudity, parental discretion is advised." Okay... here we go... hold onto your hats, we might see some skin. *gasp* I was mortified when the 'nudity' arrived, in the form of a strangled, naked...

    Video Game Debate

    Okay... short and sweet... I try to keep my nearly 8 year old son from playing any game that trivializes the act of killing people or things, because he is at an age where he just doesn't have an empathetic bent yet. He has yet to grasp the notions of death and pain truly and fully as his...

    Oh, another thing... dry your onions and garlic outside or your whole house will smell like body odor for ages.

    Dehydrating foods

    I haven't tried drying those no. I only dry what I can get cheap and in bulk, and living in Northern Alberta, my access to cheap bulk peppers is zero.

    Dehydrating foods

    try to make sure your food is fairly uniformly sliced, and just test to see when it's done. It varies so much according to the food, the humidity of your house, how thick you slice, etc. But, with the onions and garlic, I erred on the side of too dry, and basically went until some were...

    Dehydrating foods

    My dehydrator doesn't have vents that can close, and it works just fine like that, open all the time. I've dehydrated onions, garlic, banana slices (these turn out sort of like caramels.. they're a big hit, but not the deep fried banana chips some have in mind), apple slices, and fruit leather...

    Joe Bird

    Remembering Edmonton musician, actor Joe Bird I didn't really know where to put this upon finding out tonight, over wine and partying, that Joe had passed away. I was kind of dumbstruck. He was an acquaintance who had sung at a friends' wedding, who had from everything I'd seen about him...

    Thanks Les, but, I can assure you that if gerry meant anything by it, it was nothing more than friendly concern over too much partying.

    Blender Drinks

    No way... I like slushy lime margaritas. The juice is a must. If I'm going to drink straight tequila, I'll sip it at room temp.

    Pork tenderloin... and no meat thermometer

    Porkloin roast is one of those things that I pick up at Costco, and do a wide variety of stuff with it. I cut some up into stirfry meat, cube some for skewers, cut some up into chops, and reserve some as roughly 2lb roasts. It's an almost fool proof meat. Much of the time, I'm pulling a...

    Blender Drinks

    Half the fun is figuring out the recipe. Iol. I have no clue what the right proportions are. A splash of tequila, a sprinkle of salt, a liberal bit of lime juice, and some ice. Blend it, and drink the slushy goodness.
