Crispy Baked Beet Chips Recipe The other day, I got a new vegetable slicer and I have been slicing up any vegetable I have in the fridge ever since. I had a bunch of beets in the crisper and remembered tasting beet chips a long time ago. Thin, crispy, sweet and salty, beet chips are a great healthy snack. To make sure that you do not have purple stained hands when working with beets, peel them under cold water. I sliced them 1/16 inch thick which, after baking, created the perfect crispy beet chip. They were baked low and slow so that they dry out.

16 Reasons Why Gin Is The Best Joyously Domestic: Crispy Potato Roast I about died when I saw a version of this recipe on Martha Stewart's website.

Salt Market Syracuse Fan Campaigns That Actually Saved TV Shows Joss Whedon wrote us Browncoats an email saying we had better pony up and damned well see the movie over three times over opening weekend. Then wrote us another letter on monday saying we had personally failed him and let Jessica Alba's tits win. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Whedon himself gives credit to an exec at Universal, who was just a fan of the show, before the fan campaign. I got that off of Whedonesque, too. As well he should, because I understand that's basically how it went down. However, it's a much better story to rally the troops if you make a special saying it's all about them. FIrefly made me tired. I will support buy buying DVDs and tchotckes and watching repeatedly on DVR and Hulu and those sorts of things. Mummy's got nothing left.
Sidecastr launches, joins competition for the second screen Boston-based startup Sidecastr has recently emerged out of stealth mode, the latest second screen app to hit the social TV world. Available now for iPad, the app has a mission “no less than becoming the ‘social network for social TV,’” according to Steven Brand, the Harvard-educated founder and CEO. In the face of stiff competition, here’s a look at what Sidecastr says makes the app unique.
