My Italian neighbour taught me this recipe... I make my salad and then right in the bowl I do this: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle red wine vinegar.

Many people that fall into the category of "ultra-rich" have attained their money in a variety of ways, some the same as others, and some unique.

Entertainment > TV News & Commentary Would American Idol be the same without Simon?: 25 of 41
Simon is American Idol, so the show would definitely not be the same without him. Face it, he's one of those guys you love to hate. But seriously, when it comes right down to it, Simon calls a spade a spade, and tells it like it is. There is no point in candy coating how the singers sing. The entertainment business is a toug...

Computers & Technology > Internet Security & Safety (Other) Looking at scam sites: 7 of 11
I signed up with MaviShare a few days ago, and thought it might be something to try out, as I had heard they pay you to subscribe to various things, or apply for different cards and such. Looked not too bad at first. Apply for an American Express Blue card, and they say they'll pay you $15.00, sign up for a RealRhapsody 14 d... More..
