Holidays
Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy and Werewolf are retired. No, seriously, quit their kill-innocent-people night jobs. They are tired of villagers with pitchforks chasing them out of town. Dracula dreads that next "stake-in-heart" near fatal incident. The Mummy and Frankenstein's feet ache from stomping about and Werewolf wants to chill…arrooo!
This Halloween the gruesome foursome will relax on a sofa, sit next to a warm fire (
the Mummy, not so much) and drink blood or snack on flesh and watch the top ten most popular horror movies of all time courtesy of
Netflix.

I don't know about you, but I'm sick to death of schlepping chargers everywhere I go. I need one for my
iPhone, another for my tablet, a third for my camera, and on and on. Hassle city.
That's why I'm head-over-heels in love with my Powerbag--which not only carries all my gear, but also recharges it. It's pricey, but worth it.

I'll be honest: Happy as I am with my
iPhone 4, I want the iPhone 4S. Because, you know, it's better. But I can't justify the expense, especially when the new model brings relatively few big features to the table.
If you feel the same way, here's good news: you can trick out your iPhone 4 (
and even your 3GS) so that it's more 4S-like. And you'll spend considerably less money in the process.

While William Shatner may spend his free time roasting Charlie Sheen, his alter ego is busy exploring strange new worlds and going where no man has gone before--at least in re-runs on TV.
Imagine Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise piercing through a wormhole into our galaxy, here and now. While missions of Starfleet are to explore new worlds, we are not new, just a part of their history. What would Captain Kirk do if he landed on earth today? Talk to President Obama? Check out N.A.S.A.?
Considering how much he loves romance (
or women, more specifically), he might take a female officer out on a dinner date. Spock and Bones would attempt to stop Kirk from mixing with the local inhabitants, but the captain has a tendency to ignore Starfleet regulations.
Which present-day restaurant would Captain Kirk take a crewmember (
or green woman--whomever is available...) on a dinner date?

Mushrooms are low-calorie and packed full of nutrients like potassium, riboflavin, niacin, and selenium. They have even been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer. Even better, the most common variety of button mushroom is pretty inexpensive, especially if you are using it as a replacement for meat.
Here are just a few ways that you can mushrooms into your routine. And remember--before you use mushrooms in any recipe, you should clean them.

Here are some easy and free ways to give yourself a pick-me up

Image by paul goyette via FlickrWhen I saw that our CSA had a five-pound box of green tomatoes available as an add-on, I immediately bought it. When I picked it up, the lady who hosts my pickup location asked if I was going to make sauce, or fry them "like the movie." I asked if she'd ever had fried green tomatoes, and she had not!
For anyone else who's never had the delight of eating a homemade fried green tomato, here is how it's done:
