We were all about panade last week - make one soon if you haven't yet! Many of you pointed out that our panade recipe bore a remarkable resemblance to other kinds of bread-based casseroles like stratas, bread pudding, and our favorite Thanksgiving side dish, stuffing. Your comments got us curious! All of these casseroles are based on the similar principle of soaking leftover bread and filler ingredients (like onions, mushrooms, and cheese) in some sort of liquid and then baking until the inside layers are soft and creamy.

It seems that main difference lies in the kind of soaking liquid you use. • Panade - Made with only broth, either chicken or vegetable. The resulting casserole is fairly soupy. In fact, one of the best panade descriptions we came across was, "soup to stand your spoon in. " • Strata - Made with eggs and milk (or cream) . • Bread Pudding - Also made with eggs and milk (or cream), but usually with a more equal ratio of eggs and milk. Do you have a favorite among the three? Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News.

The excerpts are taken from throughout the book. Joi Ito, Information Magnet As the number of people we can connect with expands, our ability to pull from that network the resources and people we require to address unexpected needs expands along with it.

Using the tools and platforms emerging today any of us can now find a person in a remote part of the world who just happens to have the knowledge or expertise required to help us out. This goes beyond the reasonably straightforward search engines with which we’re all familiar. Joi Ito experienced this first hand a while ago while traveling. Seasoned as he was, Joi wasn’t prepared for what happened the first time he visited India.

I realize that for some people this may cause a shocked reaction on par with my husband’s the time I told him I’ve never watched Goonies before (or Jacob’s, upon discovering the internet).

Obviously I grew up under a rock, right? Thus, given my proximity to concrete-like materials you’d think I have been better prepared for the texture of the one I purchased from the vending machine in the basement of my freshman dorm (not at 4 a.m. or anything, either, nope, not this angel!). But I was not. It was like particle board, but even particle board has a fresher aroma. I understand that if I had toasted it, my experience might have been better. I can’t believe I waited so long to make these. Most recipes I have come across use a pie dough for the pastry but I was really stuck on getting a crust that was a little more sturdy — one with an egg.

I suffer from something called Ménière’s disease—don’t worry, you cannot get it from reading my blog. The symptoms of Ménière’s include hearing loss, tinnitus (a constant ringing sound), and vertigo. There are many medical theories about its cause: too much salt, caffeine, or alcohol in one’s diet, too much stress, and allergies. Thus, I’ve worked to limit control all these factors. However, I have another theory. To prevent an epidemic of Ménière’s in the venture capital community, I am evangelizing the 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint. Ten slides. So please observe the 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint. A Friend to Buy for You.

Annie writes in with an interesting story worth talking about a bit: I don’t like shopping for cars at all. I always get overly nervous and want to run away and feel like I’m just getting manipulated by the dealership. I knew I needed a replacement car soon and, like you and your Pilot, I knew what I wanted. I wanted a Toyota Corolla made between 2004 and 2006. I don’t see a thing wrong with this and, in fact, I applaud Annie for doing it. Essentially, what she did was pay her friends for an incredibly useful service. Is this a good angle for many people? The real key to this entire story is that Annie knew herself. What are you good at? Are you good at negotiating? Are you good at carpentry or plumbing? We all have virtues that make us stand out, at least a little bit. Here’s what it comes down to. Then, when you need something, don’t be afraid to ask for their help in return. 31 Days to Fix Your Finances. Download it now, safely and securely, for just $2!

The American Family’s Financial Turmoil | By Daniel Wesley Share this infographic on your website, simply copy and paste the source code in the box below to your website. The American Family’s Financial Turmoil The average American family is in a serious financial position that leaves no room for financial problems and incorporates little planning for future financial needs. Meet the average American family… The average family has $3,800 in the bank.

No one in the family has a retirement account (in 50 percent of American households). The average American family’s finances, by the way, are in shambles. The combined amount of personal debt held by Americans is $2 trillion. Among Americans, 7.7 percent don’t have a bank account. Comments comments. General Web Content: The LOLgraph: Charts, Graphs, and Diagrams. For today's General Web Content I have assembled a collection of images that repurpose traditional models of data visualization for humorous/bizarre/illuminating effect.

This meme has been around for several years now, first coming into mainstream awareness with the emergence of the overwhelmingly brilliant website "rap represented in mathematical charts and graphs," and continues to be a persistent mechanism for creative expression across the web. (Especially in forums such as b3ta, 4chan, and Something Awful.) The intent of this collection is not to present a best of, but merely to convey a broad overview of the meme. Enjoy. This Picture of Earth from Mars is the Most Amazing Thing Ever. A View of Earth from Saturn. Although the Earth Observatory typically reserves “Image of the Day” space for publishing data and images acquired by Earth-observing satellites, we are sometimes so enthralled by the spectacular images acquired by spacecraft observing other parts of the solar system that we want to share these 'otherworldy' views with our visitors.

And if you are looking for remotely sensed images of the Earth, this view is the most remotely sensed image we have ever published! This beautiful image of Saturn and its rings looks more like an artist’s creation than a real image, but in fact, the image is a composite (layered image) made from 165 images taken by the wide-angle camera on the Cassini spacecraft over nearly three hours on September 15, 2006. Scientists created the color in the image by digitally compositing ultraviolet, infrared, and clear-filter images and then adjusting the final image to resemble natural color. Image courtesy CICLOPS team. Snowflaking and Goals. One of my favorite personal finance tactics is “snowflaking.” For those unaware, “snowflaking” refers to the idea that if you make little frugal steps throughout the month, you simply add the amount you saved with that method and include the total as an extra payment at the end of the month. So, for example, if you used coupons to save $5 on your normal purchases, you would then add $5 to an extra debt payment at the end of the month.

This knocks $5 off of the total amount you owe, reducing your interest owed in future months and getting rid of the total debt that much faster. “Snowflaking” is almost always used in a debt-related context – the name itself comes from the popular “debt snowball” – but I’ve actually found that snowflaking is incredibly powerful for almost any goal in life. In fact, I use snowflaking all the time in my own life for bigger goals. Here are some examples for how I use snowflaking for some of my personal goals. That’s an expensive goal. Vegetarian Recipe Search - Find Vegetarian Recipes. Vegan Recipe Search - Find Vegan Recipes. Cooking dinner? There's an app for that. The iPhone seems ready to turn into the hottest kitchen accessory since the food processor. More cookbooks are going digital and there are many apps for thatOne offers recipes depending on what ingredients you have on handAnother app breaks up a multicourse dinner into separate scheduled tasksOthers detail nutritional info, locate farmers markets or time your boiled eggs (CNN) -- The last few centuries of kitchen innovation have given us indoor plumbing, refrigeration, microwave ovens and the Slap Chop.

But one piece of kitchen equipment hasn't changed much: the cookbook. In terms of format, the earliest known cookbook ­ -- De Re Coquinaria, written in 4th century Rome ­-- isn't all that different from Rachael Ray's latest collection. But now, everyone seems to be saying print is going the way of the Roman Empire. Compared to the rest of the publishing industry, the cookbook market is holding up relatively well, but the iPhone era may finally bring some innovation into a very old genre. Minitube 1.0 Released - Play YouTube Videos Without Flash [Ubunt. Technology Review: Blogs: arXiv blog: A Blueprint for a Quantum. The quantum vacuum has fascinated physicists ever since Hendrik Casimir and Dirk Polder suggested in 1948 that it would exert a force on a pair of narrowly separated conducting plates.

Their idea was eventually confirmed when the force was measured in 1997. Just how to exploit this force is still not clear, however. In recent years, a new way of thinking about the quantum vacuum has emerged which has vastly more potential. And today, one physicist describes how it could be used to create propulsion.

Before we discuss that, let’s track back a little. The new approach focuses on the momentum associated with these electromagnetic fields rather than the force they exert. Today, Alex Feigel at the Soreq Nuclear Research Center, a government lab in Yavne Israel, suggests an entirely new way to modify the momentum of the quantum vacuum and how this can be exploited to generate propulsion. Feigel’s approach combines two well-established ideas. Either way, the result is a change in velocity. Lawrenceville Plasma Physics.

In 2002, the retired mechanic transformed a pile of plastic bottles and cartons into a solar water heater. Since then, thousands of people in southern Brazil have benefited from Alano's invention, saving money while reducing waste. The idea came from the lack of recycling collection services in his small home town of Tubarão. Refusing to throw plastic bottle, carton and other recyclable waste into the landfill, José Alano soon realised he had a problem: a room full of rubbish. 'Being 59 years old, I have had the opportunity to witness the technological advances of science, which improved food storage.

Using his basic knowledge on solar water heating systems, he and his wife built an alternative version using 100 plastic bottles and 100 milk cartons. A winning invention Big savings With the diagrams in the DIY leaflet as a guide, use the 100mm PVC pipe as a mould and cut off the bottom of the bottles. Clutterpad :: Manage Your Clutter! Project Management, Collabora. Review: Better Groceries for Less Cash. Every Sunday, The Simple Dollar reviews a personal finance book or other book of interest. Better Groceries for Less Cash by Randall Putala has a subtitle that pretty clearly describes what you’ll find inside the covers: 101 Tested and Proven Ways to Save on Food.

While organized into chapters, this fairly short book’s main purpose is to simply relate a lot of methods for saving money on food purchases. My wife and I already do a lot of things to reduce our grocery bill, from using grocery lists to making meal plans and clipping (some) coupons. Yet we still look for ways to trim our food costs even more, so this book was a welcome read. While Better Groceries for Less Cash is organized into chapters, the focus of each chapter is simply to deliver a few specific tips on how to save money on some aspect of grocery shopping.

So, rather than giving my usual chapter-by-chapter review, I picked out ten interesting tips to share and discuss. Cheapest is often best when it comes to produce Why?
