This is tricky, because if the egg is a tiny bit damp the soot will easily flake off on to your fingers as you turn the egg.

In my opinion (and I suspect in the opinion of the masses), there is no greater snack food than potato chips. They're crunchy, they're salty, they're fried, and they're bite size; what's not to love? But I believe that, like almost all foods, potato chips can get even better. Especially if they're the most basic garden variety type of chip: sea salt.

The airline is not your friend. It will do anything it can to gouge your dignity, time, and most of all, money. One of the biggest scams to get a few extra bucks out of you are those dreaded baggage fees. If the lines, security, "random" screenings, and unwanted fondling aren't bad enough, you have to pay them to check your bags (which, most of the time, is done poorly). Flying truly is the most inconvenient way to travel.

Make sure to place a good layer of r...
This technique uses indirect heat. When cooking the ribs make sure to place the coals over to one side in the grill. When choosing your meat make sure to get bone in beef short ribs.
