For those of you who swear by Heinz, you should give Hunts a try. I find it's a bit more complex and ketchupy. Cook's Illustrated did a taste comparison in a recent issue...

For those of you who don't know about Brettspielwelt, it's an online community where you can play all these (plus like 50 other German games).

I think I wrote this up on kaiserpenguin.com somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Grenadine

Ingredients:
16oz pomegrante juice (POM works just dandy)
2c granulated sugar
1oz vodka (as a preservative)

1. Combine juice and sugar over medium heat and stir around until the sugar dissolves.
2. Remove from heat, stir in vodka, bottle, and pop it in your refrigerator. Keeps for a couple of months.

I recently discovered Cork'd ( http://www.corkd.com/ ) which seems to have a few more features that you're looking for.

"Begin the operation!" - Trauma Center DS

Note that it's very important to make the corresponding hand motion while saying this.

I would like to echo my pain as well - Any new info will probably be found on ironfans.net. I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen a news article about people storming the FN offices...

I guess I must accept that at some point in my life, they will stop replaying ICJ, whether it's now or 20 years from now. I never really mind watching rerun after rerun, though. If they could put out a DVD a year of the series, I don't see how it wouldn't sell like crazy.

I agree whole-heartedly on the melon baller, but I've found it to be very useful for hollowing out apples, onions, and other "you will destroy me if you take a knife or spoon to me" type of foods.
