DIY Key-Fob Front Door Opener

This is too groovy. Our door doesn't have the push lock, so this wouldn't work with our knob, but I think it could be easily modded to work with a dead bolt!

We are painting right now and this is without doubt a great idea. I just hope when you need the color again that it still matches what is already up there!

Get Movie Theater Popcorn at Home for Pennies on the Dollar


i'm thinking you wouldn't even need the expensive popper, just a pan with a lid that you can pick up and shake back and forth a bit every now and then.

Home-Cured Bacon | Michael Ruhlman

I'm seriously considering making some of this and seeing if tastes good. If so, Then I could easily give it as christmas presents. Who wouldn't want bacon for christmas?



Home-Cured Bacon | Michael Ruhlman

Super Phat!

So here is my estimate of how many calories I ate today:

tall frapb - 287
small frap - $200
bacon 3/4 lbs - 1836
4 eggs - 360
3/4 tsa chicken - 1185
ice chocolate - 276
pecans - 1170
shredded cheese - 165
anglehair noodles - 1240


Total: 6719!!!

So, it's definitely not a typical weekday, but it has been a semi-typical saturday. This must be why i've gained 10 of the 40 lbs I lost in fall of 2009. I suppose it's time for some weekend food habit changes, and if I can make a few changes in the week then it's all for the better!
