    I just made the strangest "scrambled?" eggs, ever. Saw it done on a food show, thought I'd try it. Get water to a good, rolling boil. whisk your eggs, stir the boiling water so it is quickly going around the pan, pour in your eggs. Cook for about 25 seconds, use a strainer to scoop the eggs...

    Fried pickle spears deviled eggs And make something light for those who don't want to constantly eat meat. Fruit salad is always a hit, in my experience. Believe it, or not.

    I made the crock pot orange chicken last night, so I can't do that. I think I'm going to do a pork and udon soup. Wanted to do it a few days ago and didn't. There is not a single water chestnut in my house, but I do like water buffalo, though.

    I find this so curious. I know others who have the same thought, but I just don't understand what you're holding onto the land line for. It's money for nothing (but not chicks for free).

    I'm sure wireless is limited to a certain number of devices, but how many are you running? I'm running a TV, three laptops, two iPads, and three phones when home. Never had an issue. And as far as desktop computers, I don't see myself ever owning one again. I don't do games, and I prefer to...

    I actually made fried pickles a few nights ago. We had an appetizer for dinner kind of night. Everyone here, from 5 to 40 years old, loves fried pickles. Very easy to do, too. I tend to make them with a dry coating of at least 50% corn meal. Anyone ever tried to make Scotch eggs? I'd...

    TV and Internet can be distributed with Cat6 cable just fine. Better than fine, actually. It's a much better signal than coax. Plus, running cable is not really necessary like it used to be. You'll have point of entry, and from that spot, most things can now be done wirelessly. Television...

    Dang fun way to spend 11 grand, isn't it? Not like you'd rather use that money to travel, or something. Home owning is a fun thing. Sometimes. But it was my understanding that coax is going the way of the dodo. I don't have an inch of it in my house, and I know companies like AT&T...

    Or, perhaps there are some people who, regardless of their political affiliations, never stoop to this level, and never called President Bush 'dubya.' You know, it's possible. But, please. Continue showing me how classy everyone can be by using "clever" names for the President.

    I, for one, think it might be nice if folks showed the office of the President a little respect, and referred to the person holding said office in respectful terms, even if he doesn't fulfill your political wet dreams. But I guess that's just me.
