I delight in reporting genuine emails from my company that look like sophisticated phishing attempts, bonus points if they send a follow-up assuring us that the previous sketchy email was in fact genuine.

If the fake phishing emails can be caught by my very rudimentary filter they weren't particularly good anyway. Besides, I still have to look at those emails and report them, otherwise my IT still counts it as a strike against me. Win-win. IT continues to keep me on my toes and I don't have to take another 30min training course because I ignored an email for a day or two.

My worst nightmares have always been just me going through a mostly mundane day of school and/or work only to come home tired and just as dream me is getting to bed the alarm goes off and it's time to wake up and get to work.

The flag is the image. You can't love this painting despite the flag without totally missing the point. Given the year it was made, this has to be a painting about America's Civil War. In this seemingly mundane landscape painting, I see so much blood and strife on the horizon for the country, the dawn of a bloody fight. Fitting, as it would have been painted early in the war.

I want to believe.

Oven bacon is best bacon.

I've never noticed a duty cycle with my induction, only conventional cooktops. Is that a problem with particularl makes, models, or price points?

My induction just sets the power output to the level I choose and holds it there. It doesn't hold a temperature, just a power output, so I do have to watch it because setting it to medium will be very different on a hot pan vs a cold pan.

I've had trouble finding the right setting (particularly with rice in my case) because it does adjust the power output very rapidly and you don't have the temperature interia of a big ceramic pad in addition to your pan. Using cast iron on induction eliminates this problem. But I have a better way for eggs.

Steam your eggs in a steamer basket. Then you don't have to worry about the water coming back to a boil after adding the eggs and the eggs don't bounce around inside the pot.

1. Fill a pot to just under the level of the basket.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Add as many eggs as you want or will fit. One egg? Six eggs? Doesn't matter steps are the same.
4. Steam for about 7-10minutes depending on how you like your yolk. 7 minutes = gooey ramen soft boiled. 10 = fully cooked hard boiled.
5. Remove eggs and shock in an ice bath to stop the eggs from continuing to cook from holdover heat. This also helps the peeling.
6. If you want them peeled right away, give them some time to chill fully. Crack the shells throughly, lots of tiny cracks all over, no big in cracked sections. It helps to roll them around on a hard flat surface gently after getting some cracks going. Peel under cold running water, using the force of the water to get under the skin between the egg white and the hard shell.
