How to Use a [BUSTED] Cell Phone to Meet 5 Basic Survival Needs Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Creek Stewart. Last week we talked about the many survival uses of the tampon. But unless he specifically packed one in a bag or car, a man’s unlikely to have one on him in a pinch. So today we’re going to explore the survival uses of an everyday item you’re much more likely to have with you in an emergency: your cell phone. Ever leave home without your cell phone? Whether in a boat, on a plane, traveling through Africa, taking a road trip, or backpacking the Rockies, our cell phone has become a regular piece of Every Day Carry (EDC). Survival Signal Mirror Each of the cell phones I cracked open had metallic, mirror-like layers of material behind the screens. Aiming an improvised signal mirror requires a little finesse. Navigation Most speakers (if not all of them) contain a magnet. Sweep the magnet across the metal wire in the SAME direction 10 or so times.

The Ultimate Sandwich Recipe: Feast your eyes on this! First things first, the CellarVie Wines team cannot lay claim to being responsible for the making of the ‘Ultimate Sandwich’. This remarkable feat of culinary engineering, complete with the beautiful pictures displayed below, arrived in our inbox courtesy of an anonymous email chain on Tuesday afternoon. Jamie Oliver would undoubtedly and perhaps quite correctly, not endorse this as a healthy meal, and it certainly isn't for the faint-hearted but we thought it was a bit of fun nonetheless. So feast your eyes on the ‘Ultimate sandwich’… Ingredients (a guideline) 1 hard crusted Italian bread 3 rib eye steaks 500g mushrooms 1 onion 8 rashers of unsmoked back bacon Swiss Cheese slices Worchester Sauce, Dijon Mustard, horseradish or condiments of your choosing. Salt and pepper to season. Method [See images below] Line up the ingredients and brace yourself for something very special indeed. Hollow out the hard-crusted Italian bread. Rare cook the steaks [they will continue to cook whilst in the sandwich].

The 10 Best Games for Learning About the Stock Market Much like skydiving, playing the stock market is not an activity you want to learn through your mistakes. Fortunes are made and lost all the time by people who think (or thought) they had a handle on stock trading. If you have a few million you can afford to lose, or you're investing with someone else's money (you're a bank, in other words), by all means, jump right in. WeSeed:While some of the games on this list may be more concerned with purveying entertainment than education, WeSeed's No. 1 goal is to teach people about the stock market and take the fear out of investing.

Strawberry Cream Cheese, Recipe for Danish, Danish Pastries | La Mia Vita Dolce Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Thursday, 31st March 2011 Breakfast pastries never last very long in our home especially fruit-filled pastries with a creamy cheese layer. Out of pure necessity I decided on Strawberry-Cream Cheese Pastries. We may love pastries, but I have a love/hate relationship with Puff Pastry. Don’t get me wrong; store-bought puff pastry definitely has its benefits. Am I asking for too much? I have tried all the wonderful tips (for store-bought and homemade): Keep the dough cold – puff pastry works because of the layers of butter and dough. What’s a girl to do? I’m sure my rocky relationship with store-bought Puff Pastry will continue. (Inspired by Todd & Diane, White on Rice Couple - Hoping my pastries look just as good some day!)

Mini Ham & Cheese Quinoa Cups Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups are poppable, gluten-free, and packed with protein. The perfect breakfast or snack! I had this whole spiel ready about how real men do, in fact, eat quiche, as demonstrated by Ben who housed nearly a dozen Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups that resemble wee baby quiche for dinner, but then I remembered that quiche have crust and Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups do not, so in reality they’re more like mini frittatas and well, all was tragically lost. Ok, let me explain. First of all, Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups might be my new favorite thing on the planet. I may or may not have squealed with delight when they came out of the oven. They’re basically mini frittatas containing eggs, egg whites, cooked quinoa, shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, and diced ham, but I couldn’t name them Mini Ham and Cheese Frittatas because Ben won’t knowingly eat frittatas. Are you still reading? Plus, they’re so versatile. Plus they take no time at all to make. Mix. Description
