Daily Recipe: Meatless Meatloaf

The question is, if you're going to have meatloaf, why not just go all out and actually have meatloaf if you're not a vegetarian? We wish we could answer that, we really do. But for whatever reason, when Whole Foods offers their vegan meatless meatloaf in the deli case, we opt for it. It's just good. Now that we've tracked down the recipe, it appears we can have it anytime. We just hope we don't ruin it by having too much of a good thing.

Daily Recipe: Planning for Mother's Day - Soft Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Ricotta and Chives

Before you know it, Mother's Day will be here, and you don't want to be unprepared if you happen to not be the matriarch of the family. May 9th may be over two and a half weeks out, but that doesn't mean you can't start getting the day planned. Perhaps booking that skydiving adventure now is a better idea than risking the plane filling up and at the last minute realize you have nothing to give mom. Sky diving a little too extreme? Well, how about breakfast in bed? It's like the same thing, just, without a parachute.

Monday is hardly the night to try some adventurous recipe. We found this amazing looking spinach and goat cheese tartlet dish but reconsidered when we saw the preparation instructions. Best to leave the more time-consuming dishes for those nights when you don't just want to go home and crash.

Hackers and implanted medical devices

It sounds like the plot of a tense and thrilling blockbuster feature film, but it could be a reality. Say you have an implanted medical device in you regulated by a computer system, what's to stop a hacker from getting into that system and start messing with things?

Daily Recipe: Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Black Sticky Rice

While Tuesdays are reserved for tacos, last night was a night at the ball park with hot dogs and peanuts, tonight we're excited to continue a new practice of chowing down on some delicious Thai food. We like to think we always have time to make said delicacies, but most times we just opt for take out and a night of must see TV. There is a little place down the street that has the best grilled pineapple for dessert. That said, it'd be nice to know how to make our own so we can have it more frequently.

If you ever find an excuse to eat steak, chances are, it's a good excuse. Nothing beat a slab or marinated meat, rich in taste and hearty goodness.

Slow and Steady: The name of the economic recovery game

Though the light at the end of the metaphoric tunnel is still but a candle flickering in the wind, March 2010 brought with it an improved job market number. While we're far from out of the woods in terms of a strong economy yet again and a decreasing unemployment rate, small improvements like this, if they continue, will add up in the end. Slow and steady wins the race, right? The tortoise thought so, and we saw how that panned out for him.
