  What is great about Portland?

  0 0 Seattle is like high school; Portland is like middle school - less cliquish, less intense, less "grown-up", possibly more fun. pairustwo answered in Other - Trip & Travel 24 days ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  How to really really clean a cast iron pan...

  0 0 My answer has more to do with cleaning the pan after cooking, not the recovery from your restoration job. When you do find yourself with food really stuck on after cooking (eggs, I'm looking at you) pouring some boiling water (from a local teapot for example) into the hot pan and then scraping it with a plastic spatula (never metal) loosens things right up. Then wash with warm water and a non-soapy scrub as usual. pairustwo answered in Cooking Tips & Tricks about 1 month ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  0 0 Not yet. But the magic of this spot is that you are only allowed to visit a restaurant once. When you fall in love and return for a second date you will find it gone, replaced by some other restaurant. Or you tell you friends to visit and when they show up they will find some other eatery in it's place. pairustwo commented 3 months ago

  2 0 Your dream really is a reality. When you return to this location you will find that it the restaurant is gone! I look for this magical hole in the wall at least once a year since visiting Cafe Septiem. The first time I wen't back Septiem was gone and Something called Good Chow was there. And then that disappeared. Then Something else, Then it was Trench Town and now it is "Your Secret Temporally mysterious location" pairustwo commented 3 months ago

  1 0 Actually here is the solution Microsoft was talking about : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/onlive-desktop/id490292278?mt=8&s=143455 It uses their OnLive Cloud version of Office. I've never used it but it looks like storage and the cloud version of WORD POWER POINT and EXCEL. Kind of cool. pairustwo commented 3 months ago

  Is there a tablet upon which I can edit Office docs?

  1 0 Check out this link for apps for android tablets: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/235744/the_best_office_alternatives_for_android_tablets.html and this for ipad apps that handle office docs: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/236371/office_suites_for_ipad_the_roundup.html Those articles are about 6 months old so ... Microsoft is also working on bringing its own office apps to the iPad. That could be soon or never. Like ozchick, I use an ipad and use the iWork tools (pages, numbers) to work with office documents. Be sure to put in the front end effort to hook your iWork apps up to Dropbox using the WebDav Protocol or else you'll go mad moving documents on and off of a tablet. pairustwo answered in Tech Products 3 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  Good "romantic" restaurant recommendations?

  1 0 Try the Harvest Vine on Madison. Is is small dimly lit and the food is fantastic. It is a tapas bar so many small dishes make for lots of conversation and the wine list is awesome. It could be considered crowded - it is small and popular - you won't find a secluded booth or anything. More exciting romantic than sedate romantic. pairustwo answered in Eating Out 4 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  How do I ask a new neighbor to turn down that new light?

  5 0 This exact same scenario happened to me. I'd be up at 4:00 am in a nice dimly lit kitchen making coffee and then a cat would set off the motion detector of my neighbor's lights and...bam! I was like a deer in headlights. In their case painters had "readjusted" the lights that were previously pointing down into the driveway to point directly at me. I spent a couple of months cursing the neighbor before I saw him outside, told him what was happening and offered to climb up a ladder and point them down towards the ground for him. He said sorry, he didn't realize and no problem, to go ahead and readjust them. pairustwo answered in Whatever 4 months ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »
