Maybe chocolate chips in, or use cocoa krispies, but I don't go for chocolate on them. And I'd use mini chocolate chips, not the regular size.

You are making me hungry, and it is not yet lunchtime.

I am with you 100%. I used to try to make the dip with the non-fat sour cream, but it just isn't even a close approximation of what it should taste like. Without the fat there to mellow things out, it's way way way way too salty, and the texture's wrong, too. Save the non-fat sour cream (the Tillamook version we can get here is basically sour-cream flavored yogurt--skim milk with active cultures) for applications where it is used plain as a garnish, as on burritos or enchiladas.

I really don't like fat-free anything. Skim milk tastes like white water. Do any other countries drink it?

The president of my HOA just got a headache, and he has no idea why.

I actually love my house. I do. I love it. I love my leopard print rugs and my hot pink ottoman. I love my red bedroom walls. I love my glass block shower with no door. I love my bouganvillea.

What I really want is another person living in my house, and he comes with two more dogs in tow, and so a bigger house will be in order.

But I don't think I really want a new house, so much as I want a new joint tenant with rights of survivorship.

Is it possible to add on?

I am apparently the only one who thinks that the Saints got screwed on the second "fumble" that they lost (as I have heard no one else complain about it). Sure, the ball "moved" before his knee was down, but since when is that the standard? Dude still had possession of the football when his knee hit the ground, thus not a fumble. That the ref couldn't get it right even after watching the replay is astounding.

Of course, it was completely irrelevant in the end.

I completely agree with you, except I don't think it was completely irrelevant. It gave Chicago a short field and confidence and kept The Saints defense out there even longer. If the Saints had mounted any kind of drive at all at that point (even if it's a field goal), they're not playing catch-up and it's a different game. Worst call I've seen in a looooong time.

here's the one I thoguht blown. When the Colts center recovered the fumble, the ball was at his hip level and on the 1/2 yard line. it looked to me like he pulled it over the line.

Also agree, but they were making up for the fact that New England scored the same way, except one of their players in the pile pushed the ball forward into the end zone. Illegal.

other countries mostly don't drink milk as a primary beverage do they?

It is the only kind of milk I can drink. All other milk just tastes like heavy, fatty, cream to me. Agree to disagree?

From the NFL Rules:

Possession: When a player controls the ball throughout the act of clearly touching both feet, or any other part of his body other than his hand(s), to the ground inbounds.

Fumble: The loss of possession of the ball.

Doesn't this mean that the fumble occurrs when the player loses control of the ball? He lost control of the ball before his knee hit the ground. Consequently, it's a fumble.

Hmm, I do not know about avocados applied topically. I think they may be drying if you apply them directly to your skin. I am not sure why -- I just think I read that somewhere.

You'd be wrong. According to the internet, and the internet is always right. Right?

school districts rent a trailer until they can be sure the increased enrollment will be long term.

You are a dirty pirate hooker, but I will agree.

I read a story in a local magazine about that LivingHome that is in the prefab link you included. It seemed really cool to me at the time. I'd totally live in one of those. If I could, like, afford the land to put it on out here.

That one looks pretty cool. I think I'd have to tear down my house and build another if I were to do something like this, though I have kicked around the idea of putting a Weehouse in my back yard.

ETA: I swear I didn't see Hank's post before I posted this. Hank clearly has been following the prefab movement as closely as I have.

I'm in love with the prefab movement, and one of my best friends just started a construction/development company using shipping containers.

The prefabs are all over the map in terms of pricing and fit and finish, but I think there are some pretty cool ones out there. They're generally more cost effective than building most of the house on site, and they tend to be eco friendly.

You should head over to the National Building Museum and check out the Glidehouse for an idea of what they can do with these prefab houses these days.

It's something that I've thought about a lot. I would love to have something built for me, even a pre-fab. There are a few things holding me back: 1) having the money to buy a piece of land closer in, and having a new house built on it, while being able to afford living in our current house; and 2) ensuring that by the time that I buy a place to be torn down, the local jurisdiction does not outlaw tear downs.

I saw an entire show on HGTV (I admit it, I'm a junkie) about pre-fabs. They run the gamut from the ultra-modern places that you'd see in Dwell magazine, to updated traditional styles (like Arts and Crafts).

if you build your house on the ocean you wouldn't need to buy land.
