When I was an undergraduate, I always heard the rumor about the guy who went an entire month without ever having to pay for a meal. He would go around to all the university events and just help himself to the food. He dressed relatively well and no one ever questioned him. Since I always […]

It is finals weeks for law students. Of course we’re drained, but there isn’t too much time for sleep. I’ve found that so far this week, I only have four hours of sleep. And most of those weren’t very restful. I fell asleep on my books in the library and woke up with a stiff […]

I grew up without cable television in my house. My family was some unknowing group of Luddites I guess. Either way, when I went to college, I got hooked on cable tv. I would watch it all the time. To this day, I am still crazy about A&E and Lifetime. I also like the History […]

How do you do cheap laundry? That is a very good question and I wish that I knew the answer. I try to extend the period of time I can go between doing loads by changing out of clothes right after I wear them. If I have only had my slacks on for a few […]

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
1 can (16 oz) refried […]
