A short term goal of mine is to visit Rome for a week so I can spend time exploring Vatican City. Kind of a pilgrimage. I'd like to learn Italian and I hear about Rosetta Stone constantly but does it really work? I pick up on foreign languages fairly easily. Took French and Spanish in high...

I don't hardly use ground meat anymore because the bits of gristle are just gross and off-putting. I used to tolerate it but I can't anymore. I use chicken in just about everything nowadays because I know there won't be any unpleasant surprises but I would like to enjoy a slice of meatloaf...

I've grown fond of The Band Perry and the newest incarnation of Van Halen. Diamond Dave still has it. I've listened to both albums and they're both pretty solid! :)

I asked about authentic Japanese recipes and Princess Fiona suggested a new thread. I made sushi once and it was barely passable because I was lazy about getting the proper recipe for it. So how about this? Regarding the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine, does anyone have any favorites...

From spaceweather.com: The eclipse begins around 3:30 pm EST (2030 UT) when the Moon enters the outskirts of Earth's shadow. During this early stage, it's possible to look at the Moon and not realize anything is happening. Only a hint of shadow cast across the lunar terrain hints of what is to...

Just for giggles, I thought I'd compile a Top Ten list of why Ohio is the most unique place in the world, good or bad. Anybody else up for it? 10. Home of the Wright Brothers. Also home to Wright Patterson AFB which houses alien remains, if you believe the rumors. 9. Ohio has produced more...

Sooo, I received a juror questionnaire last summer, filled it out, sent it in and didn't think much more of it. I guess my number came up because I just got a big honkin' manila envelope from the United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio. I've been summoned to be available as a...

I did a search here but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I know there's a bazillion crust recipes out there but I'd really like a TNT recipe. I'm really looking to make a Chicago-style pizza and will be using a 12 inch cast iron skillet as the pan.

Hey bud, your mailbox is full and I have an update on the you-know-what and it isn't what I was hoping for if you know what I mean.

My most favorite band is to be inducted but it's bitter-sweet. You know you're getting old when their songs are being played on the local classic rock station. :lol: Rock on, Van Halen! :cool:

I've never made this before. I've read a bazillion recipes and my question is this: Which works better, cooked potatoes in the oven for a short period of time or uncooked potatoes in the oven for a long period of time. Or is there any difference? I've already sliced the potatoes about 1/4" thick...

Oh man, I'm in for a challenge. I decided to make lasagna, the problem is that I have no range to cook the noodles and sausage and no oven to bake it in (the d*** thing is still kaput.) I have all the ingredients, here's the plan. I have a 2 quart pyrex bowl in the microwave with a quart of...

I trust everyone to know better, but just in case: http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7001582681

So I'm at Toys R Us yesterday, shopping for my 7 year old niece. Ya know, it's a Sunday and I get there at about 11:30 am. There's a few shoppers here and there but not the crush that I expected. Now, I can't remember the last time when I was at a Toys R Us (or if I ever was) and soon became...

So I'm rooting around in the fridge and I discover a long lost hunk of generic Swiss sealed in a Ziploc freezer bag. The hunk o' Swiss seemed to have shrunk a bit and developed a thick powdery rind. I cut the rind off and was greeted with a very rich nutty smell. I'm sure it's edible but my...

SierraCook recommended this to me last night so I popped on down to the local Kroger today and bought a bottle. Very good! I bit more mellow than I expected but that's probably just because I'm used to reds. The '04 was the only year available and I'm sure the '02 and '03 are better...

The holidays are just around the corner. We all know that giving is better than receiving but what simple gifts would you really like to receive? High end products are not allowed (cars, private jets, etc.) I'd like a set of Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic strings and a scarf. Anyone else? :cool:

YAY! The season is pretty much over! After a long season and minimal crew, we ended the year as the 9th most visited public course in Central Ohio (that's huge). I'm not one to pat myself on the back but it's a good way to go out. :cool: The next week and a half involves closing the course and...

I know that it's not even Thanksgiving yet but 2005 deserves to be put to rest. After a soul-wrenching hurricane season and a middle-finger-raising political season, I am SO ready to call it quits on '05. I'm excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas! After that, 2005, don't let thet door hit ya in...

Okay, okay, the season has bitten me big time and maybe I'm a total dork but a buddy and I are thinking about doing a ghost tour at Mansfield Reformatory. It's basically an overnight tour of the prison and costs $50 with food and drinks. I figure it could be fun and I'll definitely be bringing...

I ordered this at Max and Erma's a few weeks ago and it was exquisite! It was basically a single chicken breast, thick slices of roma tomatos, portabellas, zucchini and red onions (all grilled) with a large handful of angel hair pasta. The mystery is what seemed like a vinaigrette. I found this...

Okay, for those of you that know me, you already know that I'm a space geek. For the rest of you that don't know me, well, I'm a space geek, what can I say? :lol: Anywho, I love y'all enough to relate this story and why today was special to me, I hope you don't mind me blabbing! I remember...

Just wanted to check in and make sure that our friends that might be in the path of Dennis are okay and taking all possible precautions. Dennis is no joke and is so far expected to make landfall near Pascagoula sometime this afternoon.

Here we go!!! :cool: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/shuttle/
