Yeah, I don't really want him to be a concert violinist. I know what that lifestyle is like, and screw that. I just want him to learn to play well enough that he plays into adulthood and enjoys it. It was fun to have the kindergarten kids sing twinkle with him.

Wish I could help you, but I don't know.

So, my son played violin for his kindergarten class yesterday. He was clearly nervous as all get out, but he said he'd do it, and he did, and he did great. At his school there are two other sections of kindergarten, and he doesn't know those kids or those teachers, but his teacher asked if he'd...

That's an odd admission...

I'd guess they poach an egg to the point where it is just solid enough to hold it's shape, bread it with the sausage coating, and deep-fry it in extremely hot oil just long enough to make the sausage safe to eat. Another possibility is that the eggs were merely soft boiled, not poached...

Electric fence is definitely the way to go with deer. It's not nearly as difficult as you think, nor is it as expensive. Go on ebay and get the components. It's easy to do, and it's a permanent solution. Believe it or not, if you run a wire near the ground, it'll keep the rabbits and such...

The trick to poaching eggs is to add a little white vinegar to the water. Get it boiling well, and don't add too many eggs at once - that cools the water too much, and shit happens. Experiment, try a couple times. Poached eggs are as easy as fried eggs, and require less attention (no...

I had a friend who had a daughter that had night terrors, it was a terrible thing for everyone involved to endure. They did find that a warm, quite wet wash cloth applied to the forehead helped her come out of the terror by waking her, soothing her (with the warmth). It might not work for...

WooooooHooooo!

Heh. Yup, this is every parent's first reaction when kids sleep through the night the first time. One second of "Ahh, a good night's sleep." followed immediately by "holy shit (while jumping out of bed), is my child still alive?"

Thank you? That was a very...interesting comment. You didn't sound like a fucking idiot at all.

I think there is a dichotomy here. If you watch cooking shows, so many of the chefs are men. When you talk to a vast majority of couples, men don't cook. It's an odd thing. Even in my own circle of friends, most of whom are pretty progressive people, the women in the relationship do the bulk...

My son went to the dentist on Monday for the first time. In town they have a school of Dentistry, and it's helpful for the students to have people come in and be "serviced" by the student (under close supervision of a certified dentist, of course). The trouble is, they're all training to be...

Never made a turkey burger. If you find a good recipe, please share. I'll try almost anything once.
