I dread hard-boiling eggs because I always lose a lot of the egg when it sticks to the shell when I peel it. Are there any secrets you know on how to do this without taking egg with the shell? I'm desperate! I want to make...

Lizzie_PK_Swann How do you cut an egg with a shell on it in half? What type of knife do you use?

My husband used to hate eating left-overs but with the onset of the "food crisis", he changed his opinion. A couple of months ago, we stopped throwing our left-overs on the garbage bin after every mean and save them for the next...

Lizzie_PK_Swann We have pretty much always eaten the leftovers. I often try to make extras so my husband has food to take to work the next day or so. He prefers warm food sometimes, and at least he has something to eat then. I really like to make large batches of homemade...

I watched Incredible Hulk with three of my friends recently. I enjoyed parts of the movie. I love the special effects and the 'you don't like me when i am angry' moments. But the storyline was too predictable. I really love...

Lizzie_PK_Swann I saw it today and really enjoyed it. I was tensed up through the whole thing though, I noticed. Just waiting for something to happen. It was a bit of an edge of your seat type of action movie. I was really impressed with Ed Norton's job with the character. I...

Not talking about closest as in which relative lives closest to you, but which relative do you have the best connection with. For me it would be my mom, no doubt. But others have been reared by grandparents, or perhaps they were...

Lizzie_PK_Swann I'm not really sure which of my relatives I'm closest to. My Mom seems to be sometimes, and my only brother at other times. It often depends upon the subject that is under discussion or what we are doing. My Dad and I used to be close, and when I had kids he...

Lizzie_PK_Swann My Mother-in-law is a head cook in a nursing home, and she always advises me to put the eggs in the water cold and then let it come to a boil. When they come to a boil put the timer on for 10 minutes. After the timer goes off immediately cool them under cold...

This is to the point of avoiding the things that NEED to be done at home, quite often. The nearest lake is about 20 minutes away from our home, and we can barely afford the gas for him to drive to work with. Yet, he drives his gas...

Lizzie_PK_Swann Oh, and I am so not following him, he'd see my car a mile away, plus I'm not that suspicious, nor that overly interested. I'm just curious about any thoughts about the situation.

Lizzie_PK_Swann Well, he doesn't like to eat fish, but his friend is letting him use his boat this Summer and he's bought a fishing pole for fishing. I have been along a few times, but it's boring because I'm not interested in fishing. He does seem to just be trying to...

Lizzie_PK_Swann I definitely prefer comfort to looks, but I do want to wear something that is at least halfway decent looking, also. I will try to find something that fits the weather and the occasion, but it modern,also. If I am not comfortable in an outfit, it won't stay on...

Lizzie_PK_Swann The movie has been out now for a while, and I'd say he did an excellent job on it! I have seen it 3 times now, and loved it more each time! He has a new fan, in me! He's quite sexy, too!

Personally I think this was one of, if not the best movies, that I have ever seen. Memorable characters are important, but so too is the fact that the characters have their own flaws. What are your opinions?

Lizzie_PK_Swann Yeah, I went to the movie 2 times, and then someone told me I should have waited until after the credits. I feel kind of ripped off. I want to see it again, now. It was an awesome movie, too, though!
