Expresso vs Espresso: A pro-Expresso Rant

This is hysterical - but the mis-spelling of this word has always been a pet peeve of mine. Then again, my husband using apostrophes to indicate a plural - something his father does as well. THAT - I CANNOT TOLERATE. Mis-spelling a foreign word is a bit more forgiveable. However, it is eSpresso. How is it in the 70s Dire Straits song? I believe it is "EXspresso Love"? And "walla" instead of "viola"? OMG - I cannot cope. And please, lets stop the Sandra Lee hating. She is no Cordon Bleu chef, and has made Jell-O a major food group - but she continues to provide her viewers with inspiration. It has to start somewhere! Sandra provides her viewers with quick, inexpensive ideas to bring people together. Isn't that what its all about?

Paying for someone else's party?

Asking guests to pay for their attendance at a party is in very bad taste (unless its a charity/fund raising event, of course!). If guests want to bring a dish, or a bottle of wine, that's great. It should never be expected. When I "invite" people to my home - or anywhere else - its on my bill, not theirs. Never ever. Save your money and buy the inviters a book on manners.

6 leftover egg yolks...need some ideas!

Make shortbread. You only need some butter and sugar, maybe vanilla, few other things. My husband does this to me all the time. He makes ramen soup, and then drops in 4 egg whites. I started making the shortbread so much that I have to give it to the neighbors!
