POPSBalance of Terror: From Detroit City to Ghazi Khan Perhaps most significantly, the non-igniting of the homemade device has "rejuvenated debate ... over the proper balance between security and privacy," the New York Times informs us -- while quoting several "experts" who let us know just which way this "balance" is now going to tilt. These "experts" include Bush retreads like ex-Homeland Security commissar Michael Chertoff, who now dabbles profitably in the "risk management and security consulting" industry -- yet another of our great and good for whom every act of terror (real or imagined, successful or unsuccessful) means boffo box office

POPSThe Big FAT Truth Thinking about a delicious chicken dinner? Skip the fryer and serve skinless baked chicken instead. Pork and lean beef can be tasty options, too. Trim off the excess fat and resist the urge to fry.

POPSMaking pâte à choux More: The next trick is to focus the oven heat so that most of it comes from the bottom during the early part of the cooking process. Preheat your oven to a medium heat, such as 300 degrees Fahrenheit. When you add the tray of puffs, kick it up to the target temperature (probably 450 or so). With the heating element at the bottom of most ovens, this will light a fire (so to speak) under the puffs and give them a big steam boost, while at the same time keeping the tops relatively moist and flexible so they can expand. As the oven heats, the tops will firm and turn golden brown, at which point you should lower the heat to a more moderate 300 or so to finish cooking the insides without burning the outsides. The insides need to be sufficiently set or else your puffs might collapse when you take them out of the oven, and that’s not a fun date for anyone. Once your puffs have cooled, you can serve them and collect accolades on the spot, or freeze them for later.

POPSWhole Grains Vs. Refined Grains pastas can be made successfully with whole grain flours; one is not limited to chewy, dense whole wheat spaghetti if one wants to provide a while grain pasta dish. Brown rice noodles are light-flavored and slightly nutty tasting, for example; they are fine textured and look virtually identical to “normal” spaghetti.

POPSIke's Place sandwiches, San Francisco More: Caution: Ike's Place can be very busy, and the wait times can be very long, but if you avoid the DAILY 11:30-3:30 p.m. rush it shouldn't be too long. Or even better, call in your order and we will tell you when to come and get it. So why does it always take 'forever' at Ike's? Good question! Unlike most sandwich shops where the bread was baked earlier that morning, the bread your sandwich is made on isn't baked until after you order your sandwich. That means every sandwich is freshly baked to order.

POPSNo Such Thing as Free Excellent excellent read / article. Especially that last couple of paragraphs regarding suggestions of hidden cost from cell phone companies legislation. Sounds good to me. Just ask yourself when you're shopping for a new cell phone: "Do you want an iPhone, or an HTC Hero and a 50-inch plasma TV?" LOL I LOVE IT!
