Comments comments Better Than Takeout Orange Chicken Yesterday as I stood in the kitchen trying to figure out what to make for dinner I wondered to myself, how do those people do it on those shows where they are given random ingredients and are suppose come up with something genius. I think I stood there for a solid 20 minutes looking in the cupboards and staring into the freezer hoping that I would be struck by some ingenious idea. Then I saw the oranges, and it hit me “O-raang Shh-ikun”….that is orange chicken if you can’t understand the accent. I love orange chicken, and I almost always order # 14 Orange Chicken when we order Chinese take out and I wondered to myself if I could make it better at home. This recipe most definitely delivered! The sauce is sweet, tangy, there is no lack in orange flavor, and the red pepper flakes give it just a touch of heat. Combine corn starch, salt, and pepper. As you finish each batch, drain cooked chicken in a paper towel lined plate. Better Than Takeout Orange Chicken Ingredients Chicken 2 eggs, beaten
18 Hacked Digital Road Signs Road signs are pretty boring, albeit important. They tell us where to go, what to do and what we should avoid on the road. Road signs don't usually make us laugh -- until people figured out that they could be altered in a number of ways. Pasting a sign over another sign is a simple idea, but hacking into the digital road signs that warn us about traffic delays and road hazards is a whole new level of dedication to mishievous shenanigans. Here are 19 of the funniest hacked digital road signs. "You'll Never Get to Work on Time, Haha!!" "Take Your SUV Back to Detroit" "Trapped in Sign Factory" "Sorry Mario -- The Princess Is in Another Castle" "This Sign Has Been Hacked" "Drive Drunk" "Prepare to Be Annoyed" Zombies are a favorite for these sign-hackers. "Nobody Has Ever Loved You" "Extreme Fire Hazard -- Don't Even Fart in the Forest" "OMG The British Are Coming" "Raptors Ahead, Caution" "New York Is Dying" "There May Be Trouble Ahead" "Party At Julia's 2nite" "Klaatu Barada Nikto" "UFO Crossing Ahead"
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo - Wikipedia,... The sentence's meaning becomes clearer when it's understood that it uses three meanings of the word buffalo: the city of Buffalo, New York, the somewhat uncommon verb "to buffalo" (meaning "to bully or intimidate"), as well as the animal buffalo.

Material World: A Portrait of the World's Possessions by Maria Popova What Japanese stuffed toys have to do with The Bible and child mortality in Mali. We’re longtime fans of photojournalist Peter Menzel, whose visual anthropology captures the striking span of humanity’s socioeconomic and cultural spectrum. His Hungry Planet and What I Eat portrayed the world’s sustenance with remarkable graphic eloquence, and today we’re turning to some of his earliest work, doing the same for the world’s shelter: Material World: A Global Family Portrait — an engrossing visual time-capsule of life in 30 countries, captured by 16 of the world’s leading photographers. In each of the 30 countries, Menzel found a statistically average family and photographed them outside their home, with all of their belongings. The result is an incredible cross-cultural quilt of possessions, from the utilitarian to the sentimental, revealing the faceted and varied ways in which we use “stuff” to make sense of the world and our place in it.
