Foodie Friday: Whoopie Pies

post from Craftster.org Blog on 25 March 2011 11:34:44 PM. © Craftster.org Blog

Well, this Foodie Friday was an easy choice! These bad boys were destined to be a featured recipe. Oh, yes! I now proclaim today Whoopie Pie Friday!

I Sew Cute, being the absolutely amazing and cherished member she is, shared this whoopie pie recipe, so we could all indulge in the chocolate goodness.

She was even kind enough to share some options for a low calorie version, but who is she kidding? No one is paying attention to those little details. Whoopie pies are meant to be absolutely fattening and fabulous!

I’ve been traveling, and Mark emailed me this photo while I was away. Sue has started laying! I was getting worried. Her eggs are a lighter brown than Lester’s. Every morning for the past few days they have left us two eggs side-by-side in the nesting box.

I boiled them and ate them for dinner. Such good girls.

Ponoko Spring Design Challenge

post from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories on 25 March 2011 10:41:33 PM. © Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories

We've teamed up with Ponoko for a spring design challenge! We're helping to judge and we've donated a Deluxe Egg-Bot Kit for the grand prize winner. Ponoko is also giving away vouchers for getting stuff made through their services.

Ponoko has made it so that anyone can have take advantage of prototyping tools like laser cutters and 3D printers that used to be either prohibitively expensive or inaccessible to individuals. You upload your digital designs, choose from a wide range of materials they stock, and then they fabricate them and ship the physical object to you. We've recommended them for folks who don't have access to a laser cutter, but want to make custom handles for their Meggy Jr RGB or custom cases for their Bulbdial Clock.

The contest deadline is April 13, and we're looking forward to seeing your entries!

The Deluxe Egg-Bot Kit is available here.

How to Fill Out a US 1040EZ Tax Return

Every April that dreaded day comes along. In fact, the warning should be "Beware the ides of April" as it's the day that every American wage earner has to file taxes. The simplest return to file is known as the 1040EZ. While the order of some of the lines on the form are somewhat out of order, filling it in is quite simple.

Ikea fruitbowl lamp

Materials: IKEA STOCKHOLM bowl

Description: Last year we redid the bathroom and toilets, and that included the corridor upstairs, which got a place for 3 wall lamps, instead of the hanging lamp that did not illuminate much.

So we spent lots of time looking for lamps (more than 6 months) and never found anything we liked. Even the painter, with whom we have a subscription (he should pass by every month to fix this and that), complains with us that we still did not get lamps...

To put an end to that, during a visit to Ikea, my wife had an Idea(TM - ideas from Ikea) for making a lamp...using a fruit bowl.

So we got one, and I started devising a way of installing it in the very small junction box. The final solution was a very simple 2 long M4x40 screws, which screw directly onto the junction box screw holes, on which the lamp then hangs. I installed a white lamp holder, and here is the result:

You can see the two screws on the top - I want to dip them in tippex or white paint to make them white... - there is actually just one place of all the flowers where it is possible to secure it like that (for this particular size of junction box).

You can also see the black hole of the junction box - that is to be covered with a piece of white rigid plastic.
What you can also see, are the 3 little rubber feet of the fruit bowl...I did not take them out as I am afraid the paint will come out...but they will have to come out sooner or later.

It is difficult to photograph the real effect, but I can assure you that it looks very nice!
