Some of you may remember me from a couple of years back. I seem to remember that I was a relatively active participant and would religiously check the forum to see how all my on line friends were doing. I even met jkath (also currently non-active) when she came to Las Vegas. She and her...

My subscription to Diet & Nutrition magazine has recently expired. I enjoy getting magazines in the mail very much, but that one really didn't do it for me. Some mags are all food all the time while others that do have a lifestyle component focus heavily (or exclusively) on women's issues...

Bacon Torpedo I just know you people will appreciate THIS. (I'm a visual person. Be sure to click the link under the picture at the top for the slideshow on how it's done).

I love taking pictures but I have a constant struggle with how best to organize them on my computer. In my normal work 'world', I'm pretty good at file management and have folders within folders within folders in what I consider to be a pretty organized and logical manner. However, I wish to...

Pretty cool, huh?

Does anyone know of a good web site for appliance reviews? I'm in the market for a frost free upright freezer but haven't been satisfied with my google results. Thanks. Z

We have a wireless router connected to our cable modem so we can enjoy wireless Internet in our home. Our ability to connect to the Internet has been intermittent for some time, however. When we check the Wireless Connection Status, the computer shows that we're connected and that we have a...

Dear Abby; We're having a party next weekend to celebrate my 50th birthday. Normally I drink Miller Lite while my lady prefers the paler Coors Light (with key lime). We talked about getting a couple of pony kegs and she's insisting (maybe a little too strong a word) that one of them be Coors...

That's right... I'd like to invite my DC friends to come to a Country Hoedown to celebrate my 50th birthday. I know I don't post as much as I once did, but there are still many of you who remember my witty repartee and insight. :rolleyes: Anyways... If you live in or you're planning a trip to...

I know it's probably a bit of a s t r e t c h, but... does anyone know of any secret (or not-so-secret) eateries in Whitefish, Montana??? We're heading up for a ski trip and it would be good to have a little 'insider' information about food there. It's a fairly remote, small town... but just...

I work in a small office and it's been decided that we'll do some kind of random gift exchange for Christmas. There are 5 women and 2 men (one being me) and we're supposed to bring a wrapped, 'unisex' gift. The age range is mid-20's - about 50 years old. The group is small enough that I'll...

I love a good costume ('fancy dress') party. This weekend my girlfriend and I are invited to one that has me stumped. It's theme is "cheesy". Now, I kinda have an idea in my head about what 'cheesy' is when I see it, but I must say that I've reached a bit of a dead end when trying to come up...

I know I've been busy at work and been spending some time on other forums, but now I see a message above that I haven't posted for "several weeks". Wow... I guess time flies. Anybody miss me?

Or maybe it should be "shavER" advice. Does anyone here shave with an electric shaver? Any recommendations? I've been using the Mach3 with the disposable cartridge thingys, but I'm sick of paying over $16 for 8 replacement cartridges that I can only really use a few times. I'm thinking that if...

First of all, I want to say that I hope I am not violating board policy by promoting something that I recently discovered. I'll understand if this gets deleted... but I'm pretty excited about something that I just wanted to share. Over the past several years I have become more and more aware...

Dear Friends; We've been invited to a wedding (that we really wanted to go to) that is scheduled for President's Day Weekend. We'll be away at a long-planned ski trip in Oregon so, sadly, we will miss it. Here's the question: Is it appropriate for my girlfriend to give the bride our...

To commemorate today's final closure of the famous STARDUST Hotel & Casino (closed its doors for the last time about 2 hours ago), a Las Vegas institution since 1958, I wish to provide everyone here with a copy of their renown chili recipe... provided by Chef Rocky from the International Palms...

I got this recipe from a former employee of mine when I managed a group home in Australia. He was very secretive about it and he only released it when he resigned. We swore no oath to never share it... so here ya go. Let me say that I have NEVER, EVER been a fan of Fruit Cake before, but this...

So here we were at our local honky tonk night club (described by some as a 'dive') on Friday night. We noticed a few men in suits and ties... very unusual, but we thought maybe there was a convention in town and these guys had just gotten out of their seminars. Then I looked over by the stairs...

My lady and I plan to attend a Halloween costume party next weekend (28th) but are at something of a loss for ideas. Well, I should say that we do have a few, but we don't want something that's going to cost a lot of money or be a lot of 'bother' to craft. Just wondering if people here had any...

I brought a small piece of steak to work today. We have a microwave and a toaster oven. I was just wondering if anybody had tried cooking steak (not 're-heating') in a toaster oven? Seems to me like it might turn out okay if I were to season with salt and pepper and then broil it on a foil...

Just wondering if there is a particular cheese type that works exceptionally well with nachos... Do you 'blend' different types of cheese or is there something that works perfectly right off the shelf. I've used a few different kinds, usually with pretty good results. But sometimes the cheese...

Well... it was quite a show. It was better than I had hoped for. Elton and the boys played all the old favorite songs (opened with B-B-B-Bennie and The Jets) and only did one song I didn't know well enough to sing along with. The 'show' was good... maybe TOO good, as it distracted from the...

Yeah - I know. My life is just too cool!.... just back from Cabo and two days later going to see the Rocket Man. For free. Yeah - I know. I've never seen him before, but I've heard that his show ain't what it was 20 years ago... but it should still be a'ight I reckon. Heh heh. (believe me...

Hi everyone! Just got back from holiday in Cabo San Lucas (interesting place). I'll post a full vacation report (incl pictures) when I have a little more time. It was a great week with plenty of good eats. I hope all has been well with all my friends here.
