Haha, there should be. I'm not sure if anything could really be symbolic of what we've experienced. I'm going to be so excited to have freedom but also terrified of losing momentum. And I am going to miss my classmates to death. We're kind of a (tenuous, admittedly) little family.

"What is chorizo? A spicy pork sausage. While the Spanish version is usually spiced with paprika and garlic, Mexican chorizo is spiced with chile peppers. I've seen chorizo served in Mexican restaurants most often as a side sausage, like bacon. We cook ours up with the eggs and add some raisins as well, the sweetness of which provides some balance to the spicy chile in the chorizo."

Grilling: Potato Wedges - http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes...
Tom-Yum (الی), imabonehead, Soup in a TARDIS and 8 other people liked this
"I know these aren't fries, but doesn't "hamburger and grilled potato wedges" have a nice ring to it too? I was reflecting on my grilling past and realized that grilled fries—which had been such a staple in my earlier years—had completely fallen out of my repertoire for some time now, and I couldn't come up with any good reason why. They're quick, tasty, and go great with with most meats coming off the flames, so why shouldn't they be part of any regular grilling rotation? Making them couldn't be more simple: wedge a few spuds, brush them with oil and place them over the coals on a two-zone fire until they brown and crisp on all sides. From there, move the fries to the cool side of the grill and cover to finish cooking through, then sprinkle with a nice spice mixture to your liking and they're done."

Kol Tregaskes, Alex Scrivener, ronin and 6 other people liked this
It puts things into perspective for me. I liked the quote which frames the phenomenon thusly: "This is also why people think of certain beaches or museums or airports as usually busier than they actually are: by definition, most people aren't there when they're less crowded." So the sense that you may have about how busy a place is, is an illusion simply because you're more likely to be there when it's busy. Likewise you're more likely to be friends with people who have lots of friends then you are with people who have few friends.

Mental illnesses have never been the same the world over (either in prevalence or in form) but are inevitably sparked and shaped by the ethos of particular times and places. In some Southeast Asian cultures, men have been known to experience what is called amok, an episode of murderous rage followed by amnesia; men in the region also suffer from koro, which is characterized by the...

NOWHERE ARE THE limitations of Western ideas and treatments more evident than in the case of schizophrenia. Researchers have long sought to understand what may be the most perplexing finding in the cross-cultural study of mental illness: people with schizophrenia in developing countries appear to fare better over time than those living in industrialized nations.

This was the startling result of three large international studies carried out by the World Health Organization over the course of 30 years, starting in the early 1970s. The research showed that patients outside the United States and Europe had significantly lower relapse rates — as much as two-thirds lower in one follow-up study.

Many traditional cultures regard the self in different terms — as inseparable from your role in your kinship group, intertwined with the story of your ancestry and permeable to the spirit world.

Offering the latest Western mental-health theories, treatments and categories in an attempt to ameliorate the psychological stress sparked by modernization and globalization is not a solution; it may be part of the problem.

ROFL, Adrian...I think you mean that I'm too golden right now. And yeah, the AWB keeps warming up the picture. I tried shooting with some of the other presets and they just didn't seem to get accurate colors.

When I win the lottery and throw a giant FF party... grilled cheese is so on the menu.

I'm allergic to dairy products. Can you substitute mine with bacon? :)

Alex, if you have any photoediting software it's an easy enough fix, but if you set it right in the camera to begin with... you don't have to fix anything. Just experiment with the settings a bit more. :D Great camera and lens BTW!

OK...I think I'm going to have to start setting it manually, methinks to get it right. :(
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yep, best way to learn. Just set it on manual and start shooting, change stuff, shoot, repeat as necessary.

that's a lot of bread but not enough cheese. My grilled cheese has barely any bread on them :)

Have you ever tried baking your grilled cheese? Works like a charm for making multiple sandwiches for a group all at once. 475 - 5 minutes per side.

Nope, never tried that

This is what I do: buy a bunch of fresh loafs and place in freezer. Whenever you feel like grilled cheese, place cheese on frozen bread and into the oven - like @veo says, 5 minutes would do. toaster oven also works. this way you can nice quickie grilled cheese in no time. Alternatively you can also use a panini grill but i like using oven to do batches as veo says :) I freeze the bread because they will always be fresh - plus it won't be burnt if you want really melted cheese :)

@See-Ming Lee - I had never thought about freezing the bread before baking but I like the idea. :)

I do so love a good grilled cheese. Lots of butter. Yum.
