Hi Everyone. I am not sure who is still on this site. For those who remember me, hello again. I used to be an admin on this site, but have not been here in many years. I am hoping someone can help me. My daughter and I just tried lacto-fermenting in a vacuum bag. Here is the link we got the...

I know we have discussed it here before, but here is a great article about why you should not refrigerate tomatoes. Seriously, folks, you need to stop refrigerating your tomatoes

Hello old friends and new ones. It has been a while since I have been here, but thanks to a great friend I decided to poke my head in again (thanks Alix). Life has been very busy for me since I last was here. My kids have continued to grow up no matter how many times I tell them to cut it out...

Here are a few more I shot recently.

I have been experimenting with some different photography techniques. Let me know what you think. This is the view from my family room.

This was a project I wanted to do with the kids. I ended up doing 98% of it alone, but it was fun anyway. You can see the rest of the series of these photos HERE Or see a slide show by Clicking Here.

I wanted to post this again because the site is too cool not to share with as many DC friends as I can. You can see the original post here and you can see the DC Springpad page here. This is an amazing way to keep track of recipes and other food ideas (or anything, it does not have to be food...

I know a number of people on DC are already on Pinterest, but is anyone on Springpad? I just joined springpad yesterday and am finding it a million times better than Pinterest even though they are very similar in many ways. What I really like about Springboard is that you can share your stuff...

Back up your computer!!! Computers are great until they crash and you lose years of important documents, photos, videos, and memories. I had a catastrophic failure last week and had to reformat my computer with erases EVERYTHING. Thankfully I had multiple backups (redundand backups using...

What if you were playing in the club championship tournament finals, and the match was halved at the end of 17 holes. You had the honors, and hit your ball a modest two hundred fifty yards to the middle of the fairway, leaving a simple six iron to the pin. Your opponent then hits his ball...

I just ran across someone who does this and I thought it was brilliant. Do you have any words that for some reason you can just never spell right? I have trouble with the word definitely as did this person I was talking to. He made definitely his password. He has not misspelled it since shortly...

Trust me and watch this. Words can not begin to describe so I won't even try. Watch it on the biggest best screen you can. All Alone in the Night - Time-lapse footage of the Earth as seen from the ISS - YouTube

As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a paupers’ cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a...

I would like to start a new music thread with a few rules. We have had a lot of music threads in the past, but I want this one to be a little different. The rules for this thread are: You may only post one song per post. The person who posts after you MUST critique the song in the previous...

He passed away this morning after suffering a heart attack. The entertainment world lost someone who brought a lot of joy to the world.

Yesterday the kids and I decided to make cookies. I was busy cooking bolognases sauce at the same time and that is where my concentration was. The would explain why I forgot to add the white sugar to the recipe. Thankfully the recipe also called for brown sugar. The cookies came out very puffy...

My son had to have surgery today to have his tonsils and adenoids removed. He had been having a lot of trouble breathing at night because his tonsils were so large. This morning he woke up so excited about his surgery that you would have though he was going to Disney World. He was a champ...

This is mezmerizing to watch and just as good to listen to. Somebody That I Used to Know - Walk off the Earth (Gotye - Cover) - YouTube

I can't get enough of this song. The original is Neil Young, but this version with Dave Mathews and Warren Haynes is just mind blowing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCiLCo-LoUg

1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they’re serving rum balls. 2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It’s rare… You cannot find it any...

I saw this and thought the concept was really clever. I was not sure how it would work in practice, but I got one anyway and am happy to say it works really well. Not only does it look great, but it is very functional. Although I think the black option they have is a pretty dumb idea because you...

I have two apple wood smoked chicken breasts that are way overcooked (long story). They are inedible as is. Is there anything I can do with them to be able to use them? I am thinking the meat has to be shredded because if you try to cut it is just flakes apart it is so dry.

I am not sure how many of you know the band moe. but they used to be a kick butt jam band back in the day. I have not listened to them in years, but I just ran across this video. They took one of their songs and replaced all of their instuments with iPads. moe. plays "Crab Eyes" Live on iPads...
