Grasshopper pie!

You probably already do this, but make sure not to use metal utensils when working with nonstick pans. If you do, you scrape the non-stick covering off the pan, thus making it no longer a non-stick pan (and risking nasty chemicals in your food).

Sweet potato hash (with brisket or corned beef) is amazing with a little balsamic vinegar!

Did this a couple of months ago in Texas and found a paycheck for $230! Unfortunately, Texas got to keep 2% of it, and it's really bizarre that my old employer didn't just pay me the paycheck in the first place because I had direct deposit...

Netvibes is very similar in interface to Google Reader. I tried Feedly but it didn't work for me because its interface is too different. Just make sure to switch from "Widgets view" to "Reader view" in the top lefthand corner of the site once you sign up. That way it looks just like GR. It's really simple to import your Reader subscriptions to Netvibes, you just have to:

1. Head to Google Takeout's Reader page (https://www.google.com/takeout/?pli=1#custom:reader) and click the Create Archive button. It'll start building a file with all your feeds, the people you follow, starred items, and more (though most of these won't be importable to other sites).
2. Once it's finished building, click the Download button that appears to get your subscriptions.
3. Open up the ZIP file you just downloaded and go through the folders inside. Inside the Reader folder, you should see a file called subscriptions.xml. Extract that to your desktop.
4. Open up Netvibes, click on the "add content" button in the top right hand corner. It is green and has a plus sign. In the "add feed" box, find the Import option. Select it, and choose the subscriptions.xml file you just extracted. All of your feeds should appear in your new reader.

I love it! Bet you someone's going to complain about it being too white in three... two... one...

I call BS on that last one. It was obviously a TV stand/cart. We used to have one when I was a kid, probably costs around $15.

Wow. That is a lot of ingredients.

I actually kinda liked the before picture, but when I saw the after picture, I was blown away! Totally gorgeous!

I picture this kind of contraption as a rental on a public lake for an afternoon, or a permanent fixture at a summer camp. Doubt people are going to pop it up in their backyard lake...
