    I have a chicken guy here - he raises his own, keeps them healthy without the hormones and blah blah blah. It's just really good chicken, and whether I'm buying whole chickens, breasts, or thighs, the price is always below 2$/lb. I've gotten thighs as cheap as 96 cents a pound in recent years...

    It is colder than a polar bear's ass here today, and I have a beef and Guinness stew cooking, along with some rosemary bread. My house smells like the house of a god. Probably not an Asian god, more likely some type of Irish deity, but yum.

    Boiled eggs made easy. Get a medium sized pan. Cover the eggs with cold water, let your water be about 1/2 inch deeper than the eggs. Put on the stove uncovered, turn burner on high. Let it come to a stiff boil. Once it boils, take it off the heat completely, and put the lid on it. Then...

    That's an interesting question, Khane. I speak with my mother about every 4 or 5 days, and my siblings and I text almost daily. We're spread all over the world, so actually seeing one another all together at the same time is about a once every decade event. My wife, however, speaks to her...

    In the dining room I would say you might call a window company to make custom thermal broken windows for the sizes you have. They'll be able to install them in the existing openings in most cases if they're not opening windows. And that is replacing glass, rather than whole windows, so it...

    Good windows are expensive as fuck. And you get what you pay for in most cases. What size and style of window are you talking about?

    Whatever size you get, make sure it has handles to fasten it closed like this one: Amazon.com: Crock-Pot SCCPVL600S Cook Dining That allows you to make soup or whatever at home, and then take it wherever in the car without spilling it around corners and so forth. They are awesome. And...

    Bros, it gets so much better as they get older. Not that there aren't challenges, but the introduction of reason and logic into the conversations makes life better. And, yes. It is worth it. I would do it again if I knew then what I know now. And, yes. There are days I want to throttle...

    Slow cookers are great for some things. Don't make Grandma's pot roast in it, there are better ways to do that. But, if you want to throw things in early in the day and have it cook itself, like certain kinds of chili, and even some soups, it's great, easy, and you can cook when it's...

    You could do a nice wainscoting around the bottom, and integrate it into built in shelving in the wood of your choice. Then have the television mounted above it on drywall. I've seen this very thing done, and it's a nice look.
