Sugar and Spice Nuts
I'm not really sure when this recipe showed up in the family retinue, or from which Bruno sister it originated. I can tell by the condition of the index card on which it's printed that it's been awhile, though. And these are a fave of mine. I don't make them every year, but always remember how much I like them when I DO make them. These are great for holiday entertaining, gift giving, or no reason at all. 3/4 c butter 2 lg eggs @ room temperature 1 c sugar 1 T cinnamon 1/2 t salt 5 c nuts Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 10 1/2" x ...
doPDF – Free PDF Converter
Anyone who uses a computer as a part of his or her day-to-day life -- business or personal -- will eventually need to send a printed document to someone via email. The options are to attach the original document (not advised, usually), a scan of the document (acceptable, but tedious to the sender), or a pdf (portable document format) of the document. Whenever possible and practicle, the latter is the way to go. PDF converters are listed as printer. There are many, many options for software to create a pdf. My personal choice is doPDF. It's free, installs easily, and creates the ...
X-Sheet Invoicing – Good starter business finance software
X-Sheet Invoicing is a wonderful little financial management application for business developed by the folks at Development-X to show the flexibility and ease of use of their X-Sheet technology. I use X-Sheet to manage my own consulting finances. I'm a small enterprise and find this app takes care of everything I need easily and cleanly. It offers invoicing and credit processing, customer management (including accommodation for notes and reminders), extensive reporting, payments and deposit management. When it comes time to compile data for tax report, I'm truly happy I use this software. That data colletion couldn't be easier. Oh, and this app ...
Be Cool: A Kusmi Tea Review
Last night, I received a review sample of a fun product. Be Cool. The new addition to Kusmi Tea’s wellness line. I’ve test driven their teas before and enjoyed them. This one has a fresh flavor that feels light on the tongue after tasting. While we enjoyed it hot after dinner as a relaxing decaffeinated option, I’d also like to recommend the following menu pairing: Serve the Be Cool tea iced with a few fresh flower petals, or with some flower petals frozen in ice cubes if it’s a fancier occasion. Pair it with cucumber sandwiches and individual chocolates for a light ...
Fried zucchini flowers
Zucchini plants were always plentiful in my grandparents' garden. Anyone who grows zucchini successfully knows that, at some point, one can wish there weren't so many! Here's a great way to enjoy the zucchini plant and put a little production reduction into place. The following is the primary ingredients in the breading. Amounts are completely fluid. Zucchini flowers, rinsed. (use the male flowers...those without a fruit behind the blossom). Also, early in the day is the best time to harvest. The flowers close and wilt as the day progresses. Always beware of bees hiding in the flowers! In one bowl, mix together egg ...
Color Cop – A free color picker
This is a tool that is meant for Windows web designers and programmers, but these days, bloggers who support their own blogs in WordPress, for example, are doing a lot of their own site modifications. Color Cop stays on top and includes an eyedropper to grab a color of interest off any web page. It lists the colors in RGB and hexadecimal. Another cool thing Color Cop includes is a complimentary color palette for any chosen option. Nice for experienced users and rookies, as well. Also, a quick demo and user forums offer a little more than meets the eye regarding ...
Hot Pepper Jelly
This is not a jelly restricted to a fruit season. I make this when I find on sale at least two of the three peppers involved. This is actually a recipe from Sure-Jell; it's been no fail for me. I've had recipes that crystalize, and that just makes me cranky. The uses for hot pepper jelly are myriad. It COULD with butter go on an English muffin, but it really goes well with black beans to make a nice sweet and savory side dish. The most recognizable use is as an appetizer -- over a block of cream cheese and ...

ZipGenius is a file compression tool that is a perfect companion to anyone's PC tool box. Sending 10 full sized images and your email client is grousing?

It's easy to use, it's been around for awhile, and it's free.
Sweet refrigerator pickles
I love pickles. Finding this recipe has made fresh pickles a staple in my house. The best thing is that I can make one jar at a time using whatever cucumbers happen to be best priced at the time. I'm partial to small pickling cukes or European cukes, so tend to plan these pickles around their availability. I've also given these as gifts, and they've been received enthusiastically! 3 pickles (cucumbers) unpeeled, slice thin 1 onion sliced thin Mix: 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup vinegar 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp celery seed Pour 1/2 above mixture into glass container that has a tight-fitting lid. Put cucumbers and onions ...
FileZilla – Simple, Secure, Free FTP Protocol
This open source, file transfer protocol (FTP) is my preferred software for this function. It is available in client and server versions, and it is free. It runs on several platforms (including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) and is available in many languages. One of my favorite things, beyond ease of use, is the Site Manager tool. For those of us who access many servers via FTP, FileZilla allows the saving of domain name/login/password for easy communication to those servers. . . a BIG time saver. FileZilla displays a folder/file view on both the client and the server, making navigation more ...
