It might seem finicky, but in recipes calling for specific internal cooking temperatures—a roast, for example, or egg-based desserts like cheesecake—a thermometer can make all the difference between a perfectly done dish and one that’s overcooked. You may even find once you get in the hang of using a cooking thermometer, you’ll come to rely on it in recipes that don’t specifically call for it.

Right now I’m reading a book on adultery.
Actually, let me go backwards and explain WHY I’m reading a book on adultery before we go any further…
Last week some one responded to my ‘Detach and Relax’ email by saying it sounded like something out of the book ‘Bringing up Bebe’. I didn’t think much of it until the following day I overheard two women talking about ‘Bringing up Bebe’ while I was sitting at Starbucks. Since I hate reading nutrition books, but wanted something new to read I figured, what the heck, and picked up a copy.
So what does a book on raising children have to do with adultery?
Well, in Bringing up Bebe the author recounts her story of raising her children in France while working on her first book. Her ‘first book’ being the one she was writing about the different views of adultery around the world. Now, adultery isn’t […]

I want to explain my stance on limiting the use of squats and deadlifts. I don’t believe they are terrible exercises. I think they have a place in the routines for some people, depending upon their goals. Do I believe that either of these should be labeled the “king of exercise” that so many people claim them to be? Not by a mile.

[Here’s a fit couple walking down the beach. Both of them could probably add quite a bit of mass to their legs with a routine based around squats…but should they?]
Squats: The Best Exercise to Add Mass to Your Lower Body

Want to add a lot of mass to your legs, hips, and butt? Squats are the answer. Want to increase the weight on the scale? Squats will do that too. No doubt about it…squats will definitely add a lot of muscle to your body quickly. Although they do work […]
