Just Add Imagination

Geekdad: The 5 Best Toys of All Time

[T]o help you out, I’ve worked really hard to narrow down this list to five items that no kid should be without. All five should fit easily within any budget, and are appropriate for a wide age range so you get the most play out of each one. These are time-tested and kid-approved! And as a bonus, these five can be combined for extra-super-happy-fun-time.

These are great toys because the added ingredient is imagination, which is usually in abundant supply.

Conundrum: if you gave a child a box, and wrapped it in another box, would s/he want to play with the box, or the box it came in?

How to Reheat Soggy Leftover Pizza

There are so many advantages to using this method. There’s no insufferable wait for an oven to preheat (10 minutes in real time is 45 minutes in “I have the munchies” time); you don’t waste all that extra energy (you’re welcome, Planet Earth); and most important of all, you get perfectly crisp crust. In fact, you’ll get a crust that’s hotter and crispier than it was when it was first served.

I personally don’t have a problem with cold pizza, but I’ve been repeatedly told that I’m weird and this could be one of the reasons. I’m also a Gemini, so I never know what to expect.
