My husband has lately been obsessed with grilling crab legs. It’s super easy. Take a crab leg cluster, spray it with cooking spray (e.g., Pam) and sprinkle on the seasoning of your choice. Place them on the grill for 2 or 3 minutes, flip and grill for 2 or 3 minutes more. So easy and so yummy!

I’m with corrine on the potato/garlic foil thing, only I like to add onions and carrots, too.

Avacado cut in half and placed face down is amazing. Fill the middle up with salsa and sour cream. Delightful!

1. Thw scenes can’t exist for the simple reason that if an aired scene contains dialogue or reference that is inconsistent with a deleted scene its obvious that the aired scene would trump. Deleted scenes therefore can’t have occurred as it would allow for inconsistencies to arise.

4. There is one commercial that struck me a year ago. It’s selling a “wonderful portable recorder” perfect to remember anything you don’t want to forget. You press a buton and then you can record everything from your shopping list to your kids name or the birthday of your mother.

Screw your pens and paper, a portable recorder is what everyone needs.

I think it depends on why they were deleted. Sometimes they’ve got director/actor commentary in addition to just the scene; I think if it was deleted because it didn’t fit, no, it shouldn’t be counted. If it was deleted for time alone, then yes, it happened.

1. I don’t care about deleted scenes much, the only one I’ve ever taken the time to watch is the one weird cut scene from “The Breakfast Club” during the hallway chase.

2. I will third having the best job as a nurse. I’m a public health nurse, which means I get to drive all over the city all day visiting people in their homes to take care of them, and educate them on how to take care of themselves. My office is my car, my schedule is independent, the pay is fab, it’s satisfying and fun, AND I have great career security.

3. Fave grillin’ recipe (I’m married to a professional chef, too – do you hate me yet?) are sweet potatoes or yams cut into thick coins, painted with a quick whip of butter, brown sugar and nutmeg and put directly on the grill for about 5 min. a side. Let ‘em burn a little bit for maximum crispy charred goodness.

A friend of mine from high school has a cool job. She does A&R for an indie label. I’d like her job! (I’m in customer service, which isn’t nearly as exciting.)

As for deleted scenes, there’s usually a pretty good reason it’s been cut, which other Flossers have mentioned above. I just wanted to say that I think one of the funniest deleted scenes is from season 3 of “The Office” where Michael names his computer Harvey and makes it “talk” to Jim and Pam. I quote it all the time!

Crap. “they’re” not “their.”

Also, nice use of a picture of Moira Kelly in a post.

3. Veggie Fajitas are yummy and easy! Just marinate some portobella mushroom caps, grill them until their cooked all the way through, then slice them up into slice like you would fajita meat. You can also grill the red bell peppers, onion, poblano peppers, etc. to go along with them. Offer up shredded pepper jack cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole on the side. (And don’t forget the tortillas!)

Easy guacamole: get as many avocados as you need and add cilantro, salt and lime juice to taste and mash it all up with a potato masher until you hit the consistency you like.

Pico de gallo is easy to make. You just chop up tomato, red onion, fresh jalapeno and cilantro, mix it all together with a little lime juice and let it sit for a few hours before you serve it.

And this may be because I’m southern, but I LOVE grilled corn with butter and Tony Chachere’s on it. The Tony’s more spice (if you can find it up there) is lower in sodium but the flavor is awesome. And, unlike traditional seasoned salt, there’s no msg! Hooray for the absence of neurotoxins! Butter, a little salt and some cayenne pepper is great, too.
Wrap the corn in tinfoil and cook in the husk until done, then remove the husks and place the corn directly on the grill for just a couple of minutes.

Thank goodness I’m going to a cookout today! I’m starving now!

There’s a commercial here for a cosmetic – “Thin Lizzy” powder. Apparently, it replaces ALL makeup, including blush, face powder, eye shadow etc. And you can use more to make yourself look more ‘tan’.

The hilarious thing about this ad is it shows women attempting to put on regular liquid makup – and getting frustrated because it’s very difficult! ha!

Also, you can use the powder on your legs to make them look tan…but wouldn’t it just rub off?
