Steamed and then sauteed in a pan with olive oil, onions, peppers, a little salt & pepper. Also very good with green beans done the same way.

Also with olive oil and balsalmic vinegar with green...

Perhaps they have cleared some of their backlog. My application went out January 2008 and my green card came November 2009. Processing time was typical for applications made around that time per...

And in fact if you don't get an EIN (if you are without a SSN), you are in violation of tax law. So even if you're undocumented, you still need to pay your taxes.

Weston / Lainey. The timeframe depends on a number of factors including:

1. What visa you apply for
2. The caseload of your local processing office
3. The complexity of your case (criminal...

I have a cheap knock-off from IKEA - 2.75" memory foam topper and foam underneath that. It's probably not as good as the "real thing", but it was about 20% of the cost, so . . . not a hard decision,...

I agree - the main lesson I took from YMOYL (which I first read about 10 years ago) was to keep costs down and to save, not necessarily to slavishly follow his investment advice. I've done...

Forget the trip and the wedding. I'd simply make my own plans for the weekend and let her fit in around me for a change (if I wanted to bother with her at all). She's taking you for granted and I...

I agree that it's difficult to change career as an adult. It can be expensive and that's why I advocate trying it on for size before you spend the money. Go spend a week with someone that actually...

I second career counseling, but also recommend (strongly!) that you try working a job in the field you're interested in before committing to it. Or if you can afford it, do an unpaid internship. ...

I find the whole two-party system to be rather odd. But then I grew up in a country where in my lifetime there were always 3 major parties, and other than here I've lived in a country with four...

It sounds like hell. I'd certainly start by putting up a big fence, and yes, find out what constitutes "stepping over the line" by the various authorities and then watch for those signals. But also...

I'd rent it. Consider people in "commuter marriages" (like me) who might appreciate a quiet, secluded space during the work-week. Almost all my cooking is done on the stove top or in the microwave,...

Just tell people it's a reverse mohawk . . .

I don't think cooler heads will prevail. We have a valid discussion that needs to be held (too much debt), but to not raise the debt limit is irresponsible. Yes, we could simply pay our creditors,...

Does this manager have a manager herself? It may be Alzheimer's. It may be something else. Either way I think it should be brought to someone's attention. My own feeling, temp or not, is that I...

Toilet paper: over. Nothing worse than soggy toilet paper due to it sticking to the condensation on a cold bathroom wall.

Salad: definitely a spinner, although DH has ours so I'm having to make...

Another vote for U2's The Joshua Tree. Although this was also "Madchester" time, so The Smiths, New Order, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, 808 State, and others formed a sort of...

Dual citizenship in two other countries, one of which we can drive to. A large savings account. Some precious metal jewelry. That's about it. DH would fare better than me as he's 100% healthy,...

I've made pesto with goat cheese and ricotta and it actually works okay. Texture is different, but the taste is good - a little sharper, so using walnuts works better than using pine nuts.

I have a friend who started out atheist and is now a Buddhist attending a Quaker church.

I like some Buddhist teachings, some Christian teachings; probably lean mostly towards Quaker. Not too...

I found a wok most useful when I had (many years ago) a stove with an extra-large gas burner. The wok was round-bottomed and sat on a little stand that perched it just above the extra-large and very...

I used to hoover when I was growing up in England, but now I only vacuum.

I still mash or brew the tea sometimes, although I usually just let it steep.

And I still refer to any...

Ship it my way, IL! I love broccoli. Plain steamed broccoli with brown rice and a little salt is just perfect. :)

I've tried goat's milk (very rich), almond milk (didn't like), coconut milk (yummy, and so's the "ice-cream"), but my day-to-day milk is regular soy-milk, which is sweetened somewhat. I have drunk...

Bad science fiction. I have read some excellent science fiction (Stephen Baxter, for example, though he may not be to everyone's taste; or Ursula Le Guin). But too many science fiction writers...
