I concur with the directions from No-vas.... that's real traditional Santa Maria style. But constant turning is the key, or you end up with charred tri-tip. Our solution to being constantly at the grill is to start the tri-tip in the oven for about 45 minutes at 375, covered with foil. We then...

From the Op-Ed pages, the LA Times was soliciting accounts of the recession/depression "from your own neighborhood," so it's supposed to be non-fiction. I don't suppose we can really know the accuracy without the LA Times investigating every submission.

^ is willing to try to civilize the bear!

^ made a good choice based on IHB information!

No to "Watchmen" the reviews are too bad.... the next poster will be anti-garage.

Just read an article on Salon regarding former mortgage brokers now setting themselves up as "loan modification specialists." One quote "Some of the "affiliates" appear to be in pretty desperate shape themselves in these hard times for the mortgage industry. One subcontractor recently went...

Hey, that's just an old established feline/canine game.... no claws out, no barking, and tail wagging. My dogs and cats (I have 2 dogs and 3 cats...) do the same thing, but in slow motion. We call it the "look out, I'm gonna hit you" game.

And you gotta let the big lobsters go.... they are the breeding stock for the next several generations.

The Via Colinas house has a split personality... the front view is unattractive with too many "design elements" and the back looks almost unfinished.

So how soon is she going to file a complaint regarding discrimination based on a disability? She should, just for general principles.... her bosses are too stupid to be believed!

Umm... I'm not really sure, since I don't ski, but aren't mountains sort of required for skiing? I mean, downhill and all... Taking small children to snow should be either be a short trip, or an overnight cabin sort of adventure. I haven't been there in years, but how about Julian, behind...

Look for Hogue Late Harvest Riesling, if your wife prefers "not dry" whites. It's available here at Von's for about $7. And although the Edna Valley area is more known for Pinots, Edna Valley Winery makes some excellent Chards in the $10 - $12 range. You could just plan a weekend trip up to the...

Does the Vatican have garage sales or something? Where would you get furniture "from the Vatican?"

What about Stadium Arcadium - Red Hot Chili Peppers? And both Sgt. Pepper and Revolver.... and American Idiot - Green Day? Oh, and Graceland - Paul Simon. Those are all great. Newer? White Stripes, Killers, Jet, Kaiser Chiefs.

That whole "$500,000 stolen jewelry" story sounds way too fishy. Why leave the safe in the car for 10 days? You can't just write yourself a note "take jewelry to appraiser"? Besides, I would think an appraiser would come to you, rather than carting around a half million dollars in jewelry. I...

Thank you so much for being brave enough to share your story. I had been philosophically opposed to Prop 8, but having your story made it much more important, and you've gotten 3 no votes from this household (me, my partner, and our daughter.) I still don't get the pension part.... it seems...

Does anyone have stats about homeownership rates in the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's? I think it's a misperception that the prior generation got married, had a home, and had kids all by the time they were 30. I know many people in the "prior generation" who lived in rental "flats" for years after...

This thread is really interesting.... love to see such civil discussion. (Or at least mostly civil!) I'm perfectly content to have "gay marriage" legal. I'm straight and can't see any threat in gay marriage. However, I'm more in the "don't need a peice of paper" camp. I've been married, and I'm...

I sold a home that had 85% of those family home requirements - no courtyard entry, and the laundry room was on the first floor. It had a pool and spa, appropriately fenced with child proof fencing, and the remaining back yard was still quite large. Despite still being a family, albeit not a...

I'm surprised any one paid over a million dollars to live in South Corona/Riverside. See the Saturday edition ofhttp://housing-kaboom.blogspot.comfor more details on the houses mentioned here. He does a good job of covering the Inland Empire housing market.
