POPSPopcorn balls From the comments, I added one tsp. salt and 2 tsps. vanilla after the sugar mix came to a boil. Be careful because adding the vanilla will cause the sugar mixture to boil up and sputter. Also, I reduced the powdered sugar to 2 cups. It is plenty sweet. Also, keep the popcorn warm while making the sauce in a 200 degree F oven. I got 24 balls out of this and they taste FANTASTIC. Word from the comments is that the marshmallow keeps these from becoming rock hard like other popcorn balls. And, bonus, you do not need a candy thermometer. I will make again very soon. Easy and tasty.

POPSAged gouda biscotti with walnuts Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes; divide into thirds. Roll each piece of dough into a 12-inch log about 1 1/2 inches thick. Arrange the logs on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Loosely cover with lightly moistened paper towels and plastic wrap. Let stand for about 45 minutes, until risen. Preheat the oven to 350°. Remove the plastic wrap and paper towels and bake the logs for about 35 minutes, until they are golden and puffed and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 205°. Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.

POPSTop 15 Nasa inventions 9. Memory foam: created for aircraft seats to soften landing, this foam, which returns to its original shape, is found in mattresses and shock absorbing helmets. 10. Satellite television: technology used to fix errors in spacecraft signals helps reduce scrambled pictures and sound in satellite television signals. 11. Scratch resistant lenses: astronaut helmet visor coating makes our spectacles ten times more scratch resistant. 12. Shoe insoles: athletic shoe companies adapted space boot designs to lessen impact by adding spring and ventilation. 13. Smoke detector: Nasa invented the first adjustable smoke detector with sensitivity levels to prevent false alarms. 14. Swimsuit: Nasa used the same principles that reduce drag in space to help create the world’s fastest swimsuit for Speedo, rejected by some professionals for giving an unfair advantage. 15. Water filter: domestic versions borrow a technique Nasa pioneered to kill bacteria in water taken into space.

POPSHow to Grill a Steak Tips: 1. To oil the grill you can hold a piece of steak fat in a pair of tongs and rub it over the hot grate. 2. Letting the steak rest before you eat it is an important trick. This allows the juices to seap throughout the meat and gives you a much more flavorful steak.

POPSThe subtle pleasures of Japanese green tea One of my favorite teas is gen mai cha , Japanese green tea with toasted brown rice. It manages to somehow be simultaneously soothing and gently energizing... and it tastes delicious. I keep a thermal mug of it at my desk and drink three or four mugs a day while I'm working.

POPS Sen. James Inhofe::Global Warming Heretic Inhofe recognizes that the Earth is warming, but sees this as part of the natural cycle. Inhofe mentioned the Medieval Warm Period -- 1000 to 1270 A.D. when the Vikings grew crops in Greenland. So he doesn't buy this 12,000-year high. His office referred me to a piece University of Oklahoma geology professor David Deming penned for the Normal Transcript that noted, "The fact that the thermometer wasn't invented until the year 1714 ought to give us pause when evaluating this remarkable claim." The Times' "mainstream scientists" line undermines the editorial's credibility as it ignores the likes of MIT climate scientist Richard S. Lindzen, who argues that clouds and water vapor will counteract greenhouse-gas emissions. Ditto the 60 Canadian scientists who wrote to Prime Minister Stephen Harper that there is no " 'consensus' among climate scientists."

POPSEmergency "grab-n-go" kit contents This is one of the better "go-kit" lists I've found. I live ten minutes downwind of a major nuclear plant, so I need something like this. Download the PDF at http://snipurl.com/1845p. Other useful links: The Red Cross sells a "deluxe" preparedness kit for $65 which is supposed to keep an adult going for three days.
