Pasta Cacio E Pepe: So simple yet so good!


» Read similar stories filed under:

My latest favorite recipe find is a super simple but very tasty pasta dish.



Boil spaghetti noodles (I prefer angel hair) in heavily salted water until al dente (7-8 minutes or so).

Drain noodles and plate immediately.

Grate tons of pecarino romano cheese (available in the specialty cheese section of your grocery store) on top of the noodles and then a generous portion of freshly ground black pepper.

Add a spoonful or so of the still-hot pasta water and toss. (The heat of the noodles will melt the cheese)

A group to help our seniors and their families

My name is Cindy and I own Heart To Heart Seniorcare. I have helped seniors for the past 8 years, and I LOVE what I do! It's my "calling" in life! I feel there is alot of seniors and their loved ones out there that need our help, whether its in-home care, a place to find resources, a support group, dementia/alzhemier's information, how a senior can stay safe in their homes, how to avoid moving a senior to a nursing home/assisted living, providing respite care for loved ones and just someplace to get some answers. This group will hopefully do all that plus more!

Anyone see a UFO last night ?


» Read similar stories filed under:

So last night about 12:30am I saw something outside of my bedroom window to the direct west. I saw three lights together and immediately thought it was a plane. I watched for a few seconds and it didn't seem to move. I called my husband upstairs to look out the window and he saw it too. He grabbed his binoculars and I mine. It was a difficult angle as our house window looks south and the lights were west. By this time it seemed like the lights would disappear behind branches so it was difficult to find with the binoculars.

Men's (only) Open Basketball


» Read similar stories filed under:

Like a lot of men, I like to play basketball. Like some of these men, I love to play competitively through leagues or pick-up games. I love that there are dedicated Men's Open Basketball times where men can go play with fellow men without the worry of hurting children or other "non-Men". But I'm not a man. Even though I think its important for these men to have their time, I'd like to see this opportunity extended to us women.

American Idol: Song selection superstars


» Read similar stories filed under:

Bravo to tonight's Top 8 guys for showing that they can pick good songs to entertain the audience. This is how it's done, folks. I really can't find fault with any of the songs chosen tonight. There was a good range that seemed to fit most of the guys really well. I'd go as far as to say if the group wasn't separated by sex this week, the girls would be in big trouble. But alas, two guys must go, so let's get to the breakdown:

American Idol: Snooze-o-rama


» Read similar stories filed under:

For once, we get an Idol episode devoted almost solely to the singing and the girls - for the most part - fail to take advantage. Although there were some solid performances, there was nothing that gave goosebumps or was fodder for chit-chat around the water cooler. Maybe the boys will provide more interesting performances tomorrow night. Until then...

American Idol: Ladies take the long and winding road


» Read similar stories filed under:

So when will the judges get the memo to stop hating on the contestants? Not that their dislike is entirely misplaced, but for a show as popular as American Idol is, it’s bad form to keep telling the audience week after week that the contestants aren’t doing good enough. Eventually the audience realizes you’re right and finds something else to watch.
