Got this link from ginmar

The title of it runs "Worse than ever for women in Afghanistan", however, given that the first quote has to do with the young marriage of six year old children, I'd say "women" is a bit of a misnomer.

I've got a question, for those of my friends who have used egg molds

(If you can't answer, I'll just have to crosspost, so save me from that!)

Ana tentatively agreed that she'd be more likely to try egg whites (no guarantee she'd actually enjoy them, but that's fair, I have my own odd aversion to pasta with non-shrimp seafood mixed in) if the egg was made into a cute shape.

Like with an egg mold.

Thing is, I hate peeling eggs. I never really get it right, and it's a pain and a half, and shell gets everywhere - ugh!

So I had a bright idea. At least, I think it was a bright idea. What if I used a poached egg instead of a hard boiled one? Would that work? I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't, other than the fact that the texture of the egg wouldn't be quite as smooth and shiny.

Edit: How about this one - what happens if you boil popcorn instead of frying it?

I finally decided to cave and start watching the second season of Torchwood. I guess I'll just watch it all in just a few sittings. Not sure why - it sure backfired when I did that with B5, god, I was paranoid about the government for weeks.

Well, this is only a few episodes, not five full seasons. Should be a bit less overdosy.

So I'm watching the first episode, and it occurs to me - instead of saying "Don't kiss him", wouldn't it have made more sense to say ( spoiler )

I mean, granted, it's not like she really planned this all out, he kinda ( spoiler )

, but maybe she would have been prepared for this eventuality and more serious about never taking her eyes off the guy if she'd been properly warned.

Well - it had to happen somehow or another. Otherwise there's not much of a plot, is there?
