My husband and I have yet to come into “the modern age” and upgrade our dvd player for a higher quality picture and sound, but many of our friends have upgraded to BluRay or HD-DVD. I know the battle between these two formats has been decided, and HD may have lost out, but what about our friends that still have HD players? Are they stuck with the player and dvds they bought, forced to switch

As in, you smell it, close your eyes and are instantly drawn back to a magical moment in time….the smell of my grandmother's green rice recipe takes me back to family meals at her house. it's not even that dish specifically...it just reminds me of the cooking smells in

A week behind on , but better late than never!#1. Anele’s question. Do you have a natural ability to cook or do you feel you just “get by?”Heh. Depends on what day it is! :) Just kidding. I think I have a natural ability with everything but baking. I can make tarts and pies ok, but cakes and I do not get along. :-P I leave that to the professionals!#2.

This amused me. If Adam had won, would Clay be talking about how he thought "his ears were going to bleed" when Adam did "Ring of Fire"? Of course not. He'd be on the Lambert Band Wagon as fast as he could. I think it's just tacky for him to talk badly about a fellow Idol contestant like that. Especially when we all know he can't stand that Adam has more originality and talent in his pinkie

I am shocked that Adam Lambert was in the bottom 3 this week. I realize he may be a bit theatrical for some people, but the boy has serious chops. He can sing. He can make songs his own. He's a performer. Just when I think I have this show figured out...Good article from Time about this week's show
