Bacon, Eggs and Toast In A Cup via confusinglysimple and baconbaconbacon.

I’ve made these. They are yummy. There are no directions with this picture so I’ll do the world a favor.

Butter the holes in a muffin pan for as many as you’re going to make.
Jam a slice of bread into each hole.
Drop an egg into each.
Salt. Pepper.
Bacon.
Bake at, oh, 350 til the egg is cooked the way you like it, maybe 25 min.

Ignorance from the CDC

crazynutjob:

First, from the CDC:

Can people catch swine flu from eating pork?

No. Swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and viruses.

That is a completely contradictory sentence. If the virus is not transmitted by food then the only way to get it from undercooked food is if the virus is on the surface. In that case you only need to cook the surface to a temperature of 160°F—which happens in seconds on a hot pan— and the internal temperature is irrelevant. Mixed message indeed.

Why does the swine flu seem to be more deadly in Mexico? »

slateinbrief:

Four theories: 1)genetic differences could make Americans more resistant to the virus, 2)Mexico and America are actually dealing with different viruses, 3)another pathogen in Mexico is combining with swine flu to make it more deadly there or 4)the US and Mexico measure statistics related to the outbreak differently.

Two more. Inferior health care and sanitary conditions. More reality-check info here.

I probably need to read this:

via givemesomethingtoread:

The fact is, most people speak very poorly. I know, because l used to be a very poor speaker. Now I speak very well, at least that is what everyone tells me. My change from being a poor speaker to being a good speaker happened virtually overnight.
