How to make a heart shaped egg In my previous post, I did a how to make cube shaped & pyramid shaped hard boiled eggs. (see “how to mold a hard boiled egg”)It was a lot of fun making the molds, but some of you must be thinking “Yeah, but that’s a lot of work to make a mold for a hard boiled egg…” and I completely agree. I’m just a nut. [How to make a <3 shaped hard boiled egg] - Egg - Milk carton or any juice carton (cut open, washed well and dried) - Chopstick (round one is ideal) - Rubber bands Step 1: Cut milk carton and fold it in half lengthwise. This is all you need. Step 2: Make a hard boiled egg. Step 3: While the egg is still warm, peel the egg and put the egg on the milk carton, place a chopstick on the center of the egg, and put rubber bands on the both ends. If you don’t have a round chopstick maybe you can put a skewer inside a straw and use it. Make sure the egg is freshly boiled and warm. It’s hard to see but you want the chopstick to dig into the egg. Step 4: Leave it for about 10 minutes. Tagged as: eggs

Tamara Lackey Photography » Blog Schuld und Ehre | this is blog Gleich zu Beginn: Ich halte das eine für ebenso witzlos, wie das andere. Ich mag viel mehr Verantwortung und Achtung. Beides “erwarte” ich nur von einem Bruchteil meiner Mitmenschen. Erwarten im Sinne von: ich traue es ihnen zu. Da, wo kommunikatives Säbelrasseln, emotionale Gewalt, Manipulation und dergleichen zelebriert werden, um Schuld und Ehre im jeweils für sich günstigsten Verhältnis zu verteilen halte ich mich fern. Es ging in den letzten Tagen in meiner privaten Kommunikation und im Netzwerk oft ums Kämpfen. Jein. Wenn wir “ kämpfen ” im sportlichen Sinn betrachten wollen, bin ich sofort wieder dabei. Man kann auf zweierlei Arten kämpfen. Ich habe mich eine gewisse Zeit sehr gerne in Karate geübt. Es ging darum, etwas zu lernen. Ich bin trotz Spiegelpanik (Der ganze verdammte Raum war verspiegelt bis auf die verglaste Seite. Hätte mich jemand mit einer weniger wertschätzenden Haltung nur halb so hart angepackt: Ich wäre nicht mehr erschienen.

Kung fu sparrow! By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 09:15 GMT, 28 July 2010 This incredible picture shows how a lovers tiff between two sparrows ended abruptly when the male bird rudely took matters into his own claws and clamped his female friend's beak shut. Bird watcher Urs Schmidli spent hours crouched in his garden trying to capture the perfect picture, but could not believe how the male bird managed to stop the squawking of his flighty friend. Postman Schmidli, 55, from Switzerland said he studied the sparrows in his garden for a month before he began taking pictures. 'Sparrows mainly have little squabbles over food. 'But in this one shot it really looked like the darker male had just had enough of a nearby female's cheeping and decided to try and quieten the din down.' Silenced: The male sparrow clamps his female friend's beak shut with his left claw Tiff: Two other sparrows squabble over food in Urs Schmidli's garden in Switzerland

DIY: Mercury Glass {I finally tried this, you can see my results here} I'm catching up on a little light magazine reading because I'm finally DONE with finals this semester and that's about all I have the energy for! I'm so happy, but incredibly beat! Anyway, I saw this idea in Martha Stewart Living to make your own Mercury Glass and really want to try it. Besides looking really simple to do, I love that I can upcycle my old clear vases into a little arrangement that looks nice, like this: All you need is a couple of clear vases or votives, a spray bottle with water and mirror paint. Clean your vase or votive then cover the exteriors with paper. I love this idea! Has anyone tried this before?

I’d be interested to know how you divide up your workload at a wedding. Great question David! Believe it or not, our main purpose at a wedding is not to get great images, but rather to have fun with each other. So Jody and I want to spend our time challenging each other in ways that can sometimes be a bit uncomfortable, like shooting a wedding, which then gives us the chance to work on our character. 1. 2. 3. 4.

M.Garanin Illustration Olive Cheese Bread. Mmmmm, this is yummy. Three or four years ago, I prepared roasted beef tenderloin, tomato-basil pasta salad, roasted asparagus, and this olive cheese bread for a cattlewomen’s luncheon with over 200 hungry ladies in attendance. They loved the tenderloin (recipe coming soon), but what they really went gaga over was this olive cheese bread. As utterly simple and easy as it is, it’s so delightfully delicious and flavorful. The finished product does have quite a strong salty/olive flavor, so for anyone who’s not an olive fan, this might be a little strong. "Olive Cheese Bread"—the words alone make my mouth water. The Cast of Characters: French bread, green olives, black olives, green onions, butter, real (not low-fat or fat-free) mayonnaise, and Monterey Jack Cheese. Place one regular-sized can of black olives on a cutting board. Give them a rough chop. Do the same with a 6-oz jar of pimiento-stuffed green olives. Just give ‘em a rough chop; no need to go crazy. Now slice two green onions…
