I'm making chocolate martinis this weekend. My recipe calls for Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur, but that stuff is ~$30 a bottle, and I need at least the whole bottle.

Are there any good, inexpensive substitutes for this?

I am having a gathering/party at my very small flat. I have just 15 on the guest list, but only 4 seats in my living room. Is it wrong to have your guests sitting on the floor? It isnt a classy party or anything. Its my 21st, so we are all just going to be getting drunk anyway. What do you think?

I want to make cupcakes that have a muffin-like top. Got any tips? So far I've been producing slightly domed-shaped or flat cupcakes and disguising the flaw with plenty of frosting.

Okay, so I wanted to have a graduation party for my classmates and I, we are graduating the sixth grade and moving on to middle school, and almost everyone is going to a different school, so, ya know, kinda a "goodbye" party.

I did a ton of research, and I know where I want to do it, when I want to do it, and even the schedule for the party. I know that money is tight, but I put together everything and it came to aboout $250. I know I can't get an answer right now, but with that price includes: food, drinks, condiments, place to rent for the party, cake, plates, napkins, cups, party favors, EVERYTHING. I researched to see exactly how much this would cost, and I even called Wegmans to get an estimate on the cake!

I want to present this to my mom and dad, and i am willing to work for the money. how can i present this idea in a convincing way, so they might even consider it? PLEASE, anything will help!

i have researched many reasons why i can understand for health reasons or some may just simply not like meat. i am confused on the animal rights issue though. I have seen and watche the peta vid on mass producing farms it makes me sick.

for example i live in germany and here we still have the old farming methods and the animals are taken well care of and killed properly.

however i am an american born and raised i am fully aware that our meat is mass produced but there are famers markets and what not to purchace meat its a lil moore expensive but u know the animal was well taken care of before and its healther meat.

If you consider 37 old, that is. I have noticed what some folks have been ordering lately whwn I have been out on the town. First: What is the deal with Red Bull and vodka? Why drink an energy drink with something that relaxes you and would taste foul anyway?

Second: What's the deal with drinking backyard bears? I can underwstand not wanting to drink anything Anheiser Busch related as that stuff just stinks out loud. But PBR? This is like drinking Milwaukee's Best! My generation fought for more microbrews and imports so we wouldn't have to drink the weak mass market stuff! One of you youngsters out there please explain it to me!

It seems that eggs are taking longer to boil now than they took fifty years ago. Used to be 3 minutes, now anything over 6. How long does it take in your locality ? Are eggs different in different parts of the world ?
