    Here's a great party snack - take a whole head of garlic, slice the top off so that the cloves are all open. Put it in a little ramekin, pour olive oil in until the bulb is floating, and bake at 375 until the whole thing is soft and very fragrant. Then, put the head of garlic on a plate, and...

    I can't see the game. Does Boston look that good, or the Pens that bad?

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    The public schools to which my children go all have uniforms. Not as strict as many private schools, but they may only wear certain things, certain colours, and certain styles. It accomplishes all of the good things mentioned above without making them look like little Catholic school girls. I...

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    Oh, please with the school uniforms. My wife teaches middle and high school. Do you know how effing nice it is that she doesn't have to have conversations about skirt length, and how much cleavage is appropriate? It is fantastic that if a young woman has an inappropriately short skirt all she...

    Wow, second period is almost gone, LA managed only 2 shots thus far. Won more faceoffs, threw more hits, but lost every other stat. Their jimmies have reached am alarming state of rustledness... edit - as I wrote this, the Kings scored with their third shot of the period. Too bad, I was...

    Meh. The Kings might get their legs back under them on home ice. I bet they win at least one.

    Yeah, Boston pooped on Pittsburgh tonight. Solid win for them. Should make for an interesting series.

    Brad, I'd keep an eye on his tongue. As he's just experimenting with the heat in food, he may not realise what can be too much. Generally, Tarrant is right, he'll let you know. But have a look at his tongue an hour or so after a really spicy meal, and see if there are any lasting marks on it.

    I actually did quite a lot of this when I had a newborn. I timed it so that it was a regular sleep cycle (mine was a very schedule oriented sleeper...), and I had no issues. I'd keep a bottle ready to go, and if there was a fussy time, a 20 minute stop to feed and change, then back into the...

    Troi was always a terrible character. She was there for the tits. Personally, I don't find her very attractive at all, and she sounds idiotic most of the time. I know that her lines were written for her, but I've heard interviews with her, too. She's kind of a dumb. Tits...

    Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way criticising using TV to make life workable. I know it works, I know it's easy, and I certainly do it myself periodically. When I'm at my best, something like making dinner ends up being something I do with the kids. Give them all tasks, they help make the...

    Look at websites likehttp://www.starfall.comThey think they're playing games, but they're actually learning. It's a good thing to use infrequently. One thing I would suggest avoiding is that making a screen (TV or computer) the option when neither you or your wife is available. Get paper...
