Food and Drink Board	Sauteed Apples for Pancakes - GarmischTiger on 5/18/13 at 2:55 pm Never done this, but got a wild hair - will make for the kiddos tonight. So, melt butter, add slices, brown a bit, add brown sugar and cinnamon. Is that about it? Do I need an acid (lemon/orange juice)? Vanilla? TIA... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Fark Board	Photo Edit / Splice / Merge Request - GarmischTiger on 5/18/13 at 1:52 pm This is my first foray posting to the esteemed Fark Board, and I don’t know if requests like this are entertained – but here goes. My wife’s mom passed away suddenly last week. My wife is a serial picture avoider, and her mom was the one person in the family who took pictures – and quite prolifi...

Money Talk	Consolidating estate of parents in declining health - GarmischTiger on 5/7/13 at 7:07 am Soliciting tips and input from folks who have traveled this path. Back story: My wife’s mom is losing a battle with cancer and is not long for this world. Her dad’s health is poor, and he’ll likely end up living with us as he will not thrive on his own. My mother-in-law is a small business owne... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
O-T Lounge	Attic Insulation: Loose-Fill versus Blanket - GarmischTiger on 5/2/13 at 11:08 am Just evicted a family of squirrels from the attic – who pretty much tossed the place. During the clean-up I’m seizing the opportunity to put down more insulation, as the top floor of the house cooks in the summer and is cold in the winter. A very shallow layer of loose-fill between the joists ... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Food and Drink Board	Rolled Pork Shoulder (Roast) - Soliciting Tips - GarmischTiger on 4/27/13 at 1:10 pm Whole Boston Butt (skin-on) was a steal this week at the commissary, so I grabbed one. I removed the blade, butterflied and have it seasoned (garlic, rosemary, thyme, S&P and olive oil), rolled and trussed - currently sequestered in the fridge. Plan on roasting tomorrow. Looking for tips from f... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
O-T Lounge	OT Electricians: How long should light switches last? - GarmischTiger on 4/21/13 at 12:24 pm House built in mid-80s, and three switches in past year have gone out. Lights on rheostat in one room fluctuate / flitter a bit as well. Is this normal for a 30-year-old house?... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
O-T Lounge	Does use of iPhone as iPod significantly shorten phone life? - GarmischTiger on 4/19/13 at 3:13 pm I'm a prolific audio book nerd, to attenuate the DC commute. I use my phone less than the average bear (workspace is a secure environment) but average ~ one hour per day, five days a week pushing audio through a Bluetooth receiver in my car. Just got a new iPhone (5), because old one started hav... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
O-T Lounge	Life expectancy of a smartphone (iPhone 4) - GarmischTiger on 4/14/13 at 11:03 am What's reasonable? Wife and I got top-of-the-line iPhone 4s just over two years ago. Her's - which gets significantly less use - is fine. Mine died yesterday after months of life-support work-arounds. Is two years the going rate for usage out of a smartphone, or should I be pissed at Apple? I'm ... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
O-T Lounge	iPhone 4 Battery Problem - GarmischTiger on 4/8/13 at 10:47 am Phone is 2.5 years old. About six months ago it would periodically go dead despite being charged. "Go dead” = not power up unless connected to a power source. When plugged in, phone would start to power up with low battery icon showing, take about two minutes to find itself, then completely p...

Food and Drink Board	Onion Rings - GarmischTiger on 4/2/13 at 1:30 pm I make these about once per year, so I’m never completely confident that I’ve got my act together during execution. Past results have been spotty - I'll nail it one time, soggy mess the next. I prefer flouring vice batter. Steps I follow are: cut into rings --> seasoned flour --> egg/milk w...

Food and Drink Board	Pizza to Calzone - Dough Modifications? - GarmischTiger on 3/25/13 at 10:44 am I'm going to mix it up and make calzones in lieu of pizza in the rotation this week. I've never made them before, but I'm pretty handy and not scared. For those of you with calzone experience - do you alter your dough recipe for what you normally use with pizza? I'm inclined to think not, but I... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic

O-T Lounge	Historical Fiction Azimuth Check: James Reasoner's Civil War Series - GarmischTiger on 3/11/13 at 12:55 pm I do the audio book thing to drain the suckage out of the daily commute.

Food and Drink Board	Food Processor Lying Fallow - GarmischTiger on 3/7/13 at 6:46 am My wife got me the top of the line Cuisinart model Christmas-before-last and I've used it twice. Almost everything I'm inclined to use it for - chopping veggies, blending, pureeing - I rationalize that I can do quicker with a knife or blender, once assembly, use, disassembly, washing, drying and re...

Food and Drink Board	Bowman Brothers Pioneer Spirit (Bourbon . . . from Virginia) - GarmischTiger on 3/3/13 at 1:45 pm I drink my fair share of bourbon - and probably infringe on the shares of others from time to time - and I had never seen this stuff until this past week. Small batch, 90 proof, distilled in Fredericksburg Virginia. $23 for 750 ml at the Fort Belvoir Class VI - on sale, I believe. Not too s... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
O-T Lounge	Proliferation of Technology: Is Anonymity on the Internet Obsolescent? - GarmischTiger on 1/24/13 at 10:31 am Apologies for the GRE words in thread title – but they capture my meaning in the limited space available. There is an immeasurable amount of information on the periphery of the internet that is lying fallow – as yet unharnessed due to the restrictions of current technology. But with the passage ...

O-T Lounge	Deployed Tigers and OTers: Merry Christmas! - GarmischTiger on 12/24/12 at 7:27 pm You're active duty military and mobilized guardsmen and reservists.

O-T Lounge	IPhone 4 Question: Sync versus Restore - GarmischTiger on 12/19/12 at 2:54 pm Asking because I'm a Luddite and obviously OT poor.

Tiger Rant	Grade out the Officiating - GarmischTiger on 11/24/12 at 7:09 am After a night to sleep on it and re-watching parts of the game over coffee this morning, two things stand out to me about the refs: First - and most obvious - a poorly called game.
