Cook off
Off to Market: Kitchen Island
OK readers, I'm moving into my new kitchen this week, and I need your help finding the perfect kitchen island. There's a large space between the fridge and cabinets. If I leave it empty, it will be wasted space, but if I get a portable work station, it will be more counter space!
Trusting Terrorists, Abandoning Troops
Trusting Terrorists, Abandoning Troops By Ben Lerner on 3.12.10 @ 6:08AM I recently returned from a week-long media tour in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where some of our finest soldiers and sailors are tasked with a difficult and thankless job: guarding dangerous detainee enemy combatants captured in the course of the Global War on Terror. In the same week, Reps. Burton (R-Ind.) Rohrabacher (R-Cal.) and Gohmert (R-Tex.) presented Pentagon officials with 170,000 signatures from Americans asking that courts-martial proceedings against three Navy SEALs be dropped.World’s Oldest Black Woman, 113, Dies in Detroit

Daisey Bailey had many stories to tell before her death on Sunday at age 113, reportedly of organ failure.
Everyone in America - and quite possibly the world - would have benefitted from getting a chance to hear a living griot. Not that Daisey Bailey was an official griot, but surely with her living to just weeks shy of her 114th birthday, she had many stories to tell before her death on Sunday, reportedly of organ failure, at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan.
In Hard Times, Lured Into Trade School and Debt
This is long, but interesting. One fast-growing American industry has become a conspicuous beneficiary of the recession: for-profit colleges and trade schools. Career Education Corporation’s culinary schools, many called Le Cordon Bleu, teach skills like ice sculpture.Day 2:
Today was the official first day of me setting my new diet and exercise regimen into motion. I have to admit, it's not as bad as I pegged it out to be, but this is only the first day. Today was also the first time I've eaten cooked oatmeal from the canister with no sugar or butter.Day 1: What Did I Get Myself Into?
At the moment, I'm seriously pissed right now. My parents picked up some Buffalo Wild Wings and Gibson doughnuts and guess what? I can't have any of it!Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Hello All! I just thought I'd share a recipe with ya'll. I made it last night and it was super easy and yummy, so I thought I'd share!Feast on Slow-Cooker Corned Beef This St. Patrick's Day
Party and I have been really obsessed with crockpots lately. I thought we'd prepared just about every kind of meat dish there is (beef chili, Cuban chicken, short ribs, you name it) — until I came across a corned beef and cabbage recipe. It was so hands-off, I was convinced it would be too good to be true.
Hannah Teter Goes Off the Grid
One thing that may have catapulted snowboarder Hannah Teter onto the Olympic podium for the second time in her career is her diet. Hannah — who scored a silver in the women's halfpipe — tells People that she credits turning vegetarian for making her a better athlete: "I started that [a vegetarian diet] last year and feel stronger mentally and physically, and springier."
Even though Teter has given up meat, she still gets plenty of protein.
Millions of Unemployed Face Years Without Jobs
Even as the American economy shows tentative signs of a rebound, the human toll of the recession continues to mount, with millions of Americans remaining out of work, out of savings and nearing the end of their unemployment benefits. Economists fear that the nascent recovery will leave more people behind than in past recessions, failing to create jobs in sufficient numbers to absorb the record-setting ranks of the long-term unemployed. Call them the new poor: people long accustomed to the comforts of middle-class life who are now relying on public assistance for the first time in their lives — potentially for years to come.
