Bagel Bungle and Other Mysteries of Fixin' Brekkie ... it's been about five months since the last time I reported being attacked by exploding eggs or the infamous Tahoe oatmeal avalanche ... during this time the nukloorizer has been well behaved (knock*knock*knock on a wooden spoon) ... but like all great sport streaks ... and I truly believe my streak was much more amazing and note-worthy than what's-his-face breaking the homerun record ... after all, there are no steroids used in m

The winter holiday season has a way of putting pounds on people and getting many folks thinking about their needing to exercise. This often becomes a New Year's Resolution, and brings requests for exercise videos, club memberships, and all sorts of crazy contraptions and home exercise machines on Christmas Wish Lists. The current line-up of exercise bikes, treadmills, stair-steppers, and most other home exercise machines are just too gimmicky, and those machines take up way too much space at

Oh MY! and Other Mysteries of Fixin' Brekkie Oh MY! ... can you believe it??? Three days running and nothing has !EXPLODED! during brekkie preparation!!! The nuclurizer has been well behaved. As have the eggs and oatmeal. I am not sure how long this streak can last, so I will revel in it while I can! Today I baked brekkie in my countertop oven. I do not have a real oven, so I bake, toast, and broil in a European style countertop oven, sort of an overgrown toaster oven. Today's menu was C

~ Thanksgiving Dinner Revolution ~ ... it all started out simple enough a small and quiet supper for her, for you, and for me not so different from any other Thursday but then it began, an evolution taking on a life of its own it exploded into a revolution ... and the damn chicken was now three! ... twas so simple in the beginning, before piles of green beans and other things clamored for space on the counter top as sacks of potatoes sat on the floor pots and pans lined up on the stove the rebel

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, was still recovering from a series of devastating hurricanes over the past few years, and had suffered under a long string of vicious dictatorial regimes. The need of humanitarian aid for Haiti was well established even before the January 12, 2010 massive earthquake. Tuesday's 7+ magnitude earthquake in Haiti destroyed much of the capitol city of Port-au-Prince, possibly killing thousands, and leaving in its wake hundreds of thousands without

Make Your Own Peanut Butter and other Nut Butters at Home Basically you can make "butter" out of almost any type of nut and also from many types of seeds and grains. If you have access to peanuts, then you can make your own peanut butter at home. It would help greatly to have an electric food processor/chopper like a Cuisinart or other similar brand. You can use an electric blender, but you have to do it in small batches as the butter will be too thick for the blender blades to chop ex

While not yet officially announced, word on the street (or at least in the back alleys of TV-land) is that NBC will put Jay Leno back in the driver's seat of the Tonight Show and partially pay-off Conan O'Brien's remaining 3+ years of contract and might even allow him to pursue a new show on a competing network as soon as fall of this year. The NBC Leno -vs- Conan late night talk show show-down may have been settled. Since taking over the Tonight Show from Leno in May of 2009 Conan h

MrBill's Top 10 Ways to Stave Off Boredom this weekend: 10. Take a nap. 9. Daydream. 8. Lie still and pretend to be dead. 7. Listen to some good music (if using your iPod, this can be combined with #8 ... just be sure you don't lay there twitching in time to the music, otherwise people won't think you're dead ... they'll just think you're having a seizure!) 6. Laugh. (laugh at something, laugh at anything, or laugh at nothing-at-all!) 5. Read books by people with interest

Are You Prepared For A Disaster? When questioned about disaster preparedness, poll results are not surprising - 70% of respondents typically are not prepared if their area was hit with a natural disaster. Many claim that their area does not get natural disasters because they don‘t have earthquakes or hurricanes; but don’t be fooled, disasters come in many different forms. In spite of some respondents false sense of security, forces of nature can reek havoc on any area of the country. No one

A Bouquet of Columbines Colorado Columbine ...beautiful, perennial, deceiving delicate appearance, yet strong and hardy it more than survives, it thrives, in extreme alpine regions... blue, bell-shaped petals match the mountain sky trailing sweet nectar-filled crescent spurs, shoulders a mantel of snow white inner petals crowned with gold stamens a Colorado Columbine ... Remembering the 12th Anniversary of the Columbine High School Massacre
