Save almost 20% on Gas
Sunday, August 20th, 2006Here's How: Bank of America has a thing called "Keep the Change." Basically they round every purchase up to the next dollar and kick the extra into a savings account (e.g. if you spend $1.40, you get billed for $2 and they put the $.60 into your savings account). At the end ...
Hushpuppies and Chocolate Mousse
Thursday, August 17th, 2006I made Hushpuppies (from a mix) today... They weren't as good as huspuppies I've had... I might try putting diced Jalapeños in them next time... they just didn't have much flavor (also might have had to do with the oil not being used to fry meat beforehand... I'm not sure) I have ...
Parfait
Monday, August 14th, 2006This isn't really a recipe, more of an idea... I put some cereal, yougurt, and fruit in layers and eat it... I use vanilla flavored yogurt. For fruit, I've tried frozen fruit, clementine orange slices, and dried cranberries (all in different parfaits) For the cereal, I have tried some knock off of ...
Pancake Ratios
Saturday, August 5th, 2006I wanted to make Pancakes last night, but I don't have any Pancake mix, so I tried to find a pancake recipe online. Most of them had "All-Purpose Flour" as the main ingredient, and I couldn't remember if that was different than regular flour. (Upon reflection I think it is ...
Car Buying Advice
Monday, July 3rd, 2006Well, my car is at the point where to fix it is more than it is worth, so I need to get a 'new' one. Since I don't have any money, I guess I will have to finance it. If anyone has some advice for me, I'm open to suggestions.
Shark Skin
Saturday, June 10th, 2006I really hate shaving. I usually shave once a week, and hate every second of that torture. One day (or, I should say: "Three days") I tried shaving every day. That lasted about three days. So, I read some article that claimed to tell me how to shave. It had all ...
Tea Hint #419
Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006I have a particle board laminated desk, and the laminate isn't really waterproof, so I put my hot tea cup on it, and now have a raised ring (moisture got in and warped the particles) So now I use a small cutting board for a coaster. This is nice because it ...
Virtual Crash
Sunday, March 19th, 2006So the great Virtual Network Client, etc. experiment is over. Do not try to use VNC, Timbuktu, or the like if you want to use the host computer to view streaming video on the client computer.
The Problem with Ratings…
Tuesday, March 14th, 2006...or at least my implementation of them. iPhoto lets you rate your photo's with 1-5 stars. I usually go through my pictures as soon as I put them on my computer and rate them. I give 1 star to any picture that is in focus, and go up from there. ...
Finder Weirdness
Monday, March 13th, 2006Some keyboard short cuts* stopped working for some reason. So I relaunched Finder (control-command-esc) and they started working again. *Command-Shift-N, Command-Delete, and Command-Shift-Delete
Macaroni and Cheese Idea
Friday, January 27th, 2006This isn't a recipe per se, but I really liked this: 1. Make Macaroni and Cheese according to package. 2. Add real cheese, sour cream, and milk to taste. 3. Add "Razzpotle" (or other raspberry and roasted chipotle sauce) 4. Stir
Hot Chocolate Hints
Friday, November 25th, 2005When making hot chocolate from a powder, I find it helpful to ad just a little bit of water and stir until all the powder is moist. Another thing I have begun doing recently is adding a little bit of vanilla to my hot chocolate. Yum!
Useful Tea Tips!
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005Tea is basic, and an indicator. The darker it is the more basic, the lighter the more acidic (add lemon to iced tea? it gets lighter.) I find that a good liter of tea will stand in as an alternative to pepto bismal.
Wallet
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005I dumped my wallet in favor of a pocket moleskine It works pretty well... I can't cary as much crap around, but that is better anyway.
