Cheesy Stuffed Meatball Sliders Hello you perfect game day snack. Or perfect dinner. Or perfect reheated I-just-came-home-from-the-bar snack. I love you. And I don’t even really like meatballs. Meatballs and mini things. I didn’t want to show you this creeptastic picture but I felt like I needed to tell you that it’s okay if your mozzarella oozes out of your meatballs. This is what happens in my kitchen. Everything is always better in slider form, right? Cheesy Stuffed Meatball Sliders makes about 15 meatballs 2 pounds lean ground beef 1 egg 2 tablespoons olive oil 2/3 cup romano cheese 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons dried basil 2 teaspoons dried parsley 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs 4 ounces of mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes + more for topping 3 cups of your favorite pasta sauce 12-15 slider buns (or dinner rolls if you cannot find them) basil for garnish/topping Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. I’ll bring the wine.
What Google Voice Number Porting Actually Means for Your Cellphone @ahow628: I'm not 100% I quite understand, but I don't think that'd work. If you do that, Google would have your old/existing number, but you wouldn't have cell phone service to actually use it. Basically what they're doing is letting you transfer your number from your carrier to them, but you still need an actual number from your carrier to provide you with service. @Platypus Man: A little simplification/clarification. Currently I have a cell phone called Line1. I will open a second line on my account called Line2 and port my current number to it, so Line2's number is now 123-456-7890. When I port my number to Line2, Sprint will assign Line1 a random number like 987-654-3210. I will then port 123-456-7890 over to Google Voice and cancel Line2's service within 30 days at no charge from Sprint. My number 123-456-7890 on Google Voice will point to Line1's 987-654-3210 number and from that point on, I can switch phones and numbers at will and just update Google Voice accordingly.
printer From the molten yolk and bacon crunch of a hand-held breakfast, to the gooey charm of grilled cheese for lunch, nothing matches the simple pleasures of well-made sandwiches. They're quick to assemble, infinitely adaptable, easy to eat, and immediately satisfying—the very definition of good food. The 25 sandwiches you're about to meet can be thrown together during the average basketball halftime or, with practice, during the seventh-inning stretch. (Who needs hot dogs, anyway?) Use each recipe as a basic road map, but bring your talent for finding creative routes. You'll easily reach your final destination: a full belly and a satisfied smile. Think BLT, but better.

Fluffernutter Cupcakes At 6PM last night, the last thing on my mind were cupcakes. Until I looked at this bowl of batter. After a magical food-and-wine filled weekend, all I wanted was a normal one-course dinner without 3 forks and 2 spoons. I ordered, I ate and I even declined the dessert menu because surely nothing was going to taste as incredible as the vanilla bean panna cotta I ate twice this weekend. But all I found in my purse was four lip glosses, a few hair-brush fur balls, makeup removing face wipes and like six hundred unorganized receipts. Uh… what? So I asked if I could see the dessert menu. Surprisingly I wasn’t fretting over my wallet… I knew for sure that it was in my hotel room [sitting pretty on this really gross orange leather couch that I'm currently staring at - yeah]… the hotel room that I had to blindly walk four blocks to with a 50+ pound suitcase and two carry on bags after the driver dropped me off at the wrong hotel, then left. He just sort of stared at me. I left. So that’s my story.
Get Your Security Deposit Back with a Rental Walk-Through Condition Form The dreaded Room Condition Form (RCF).... I worked as an RA for several years at school, and getting those done usually took an entire day of training. We'd go room to room, opening all of the drawers - closet, dresser, desk... flipping the mattress over to check out both sides of it, turning on & off all the lights, pulling the blind down, opening the windows, etc... And then, when the students moved in, we'd give them the form, tell them to take it up to their room, check things over, make sure we didn't miss anything and bring it back BEFORE they started to move stuff back... They always gave us ours to do ourselves and, as I said, wouldn't return our student IDs until we returned the filled-out forms.

How to keep kitchen remodeling costs in check - Yahoo! Homes The remodeling industry seems to have turned the corner, with kitchens leading the way, according to the National Kitchen & Bath Association's latest market report. In the first three months of 2012, the number of homeowners who started a kitchen renovation was up more than 50 percent from the previous quarter. The average budget for those projects, meanwhile, jumped 6 percent to $30,325, and nearly all dealers expect that figure to increase or stay the same. If you're planning a remodel of your own, these findings underscore the need to stick to your budget. Plan it properly. Consider mid-range appliances. Skip the custom cabinetry. Save on surfaces. Do some of the work yourself. consumer_report

Top 10 Hardware Boosting Hacks I just did the pogoplug hack this weekend. The LH article is outdated, but the info is available online at ArchLinuxARM.org. I'm not sure rooting a pogoplug is worth the bother now. Rasberry Pi is now available, unless $30, two extra USB ports and Gigabit ethernet is critically important, the RasPi blows the pogoplug out of the water (the additional IO is nice, but the real win is a larger developer community). I did get a pogoplug with the intention of rooting it but realised that its was much more useful to me as it stood. I realize this is article is a few days old, but I just wanted to second this. Now I've just got to figure out what I want to put on it... It's a fun project. I tried running Subsonic, which I used to serve up media from my old computer, but the pogoplug doesn't seem to have enough horsepower for on-the-fly LAME transcoding.
