Gammon steaks with a honey, mustard and Irish whiskey glaze: Start off with some smoked gammon that's been left in cold water for a couple of hours to bring out some of the salt. Rinse the gammon under a cold tap and dry. Heat some oil in a heavy frying pan and then fry the gammon, turning...

Cooked some really nice chicken for dinner tonight. Chicken thighs into the bottom of a ceramic dish, then coated then in honey and muscovado sugar, juice of 1 lemon and 2 oranges, salt and pepper. Put that back in the fridge for a couple of hours. Then added chicken stock with a tablespoon of...

Haven't got any pictures but i'll describe it in words. Start off with a nice steak. Mix up some good quality gravy to a paste and add oil until its about the consistency of cream. Brush the steak with the gravy/oil mix. Grill them under a really hot grill for 5 minutes. Bring out brush the top...

Thanks bobbywhy for those links. I got a copy of Practical Electronics for Inventors and I'm working through the theory section at the start of it as I don't have just enough maths background for Div, Grad, Curl and all that, since I haven't covered multivariable calculus before. I was just...

Thanks jedishrfu both those books look really good for what I'm looking since I could probably do with a brush up on my practical skills as well.

I'm going to be starting university in september studying electrical engineering and I'm just looking for a textbook, website, online course or whatever to give me a bit of a refresher / head start on basic EE theory. In high school I have covered topics like faradays law, basic Kirchoffs laws...

Going by their location beside the cpu I'd say they're probably part of the voltage regulator module which is basically the power supply for the cpu. It takes the higher voltage from the main power supply unit and reduces the voltage down to around 1.5V and obviously makes sure its a very smooth...

Thanks evo, it also works pretty well with meatballs but obviously the cheese needs cut into cubes.

Cheese stuffed burgers. Minced beef. Onion and tomato through food processor, Beaten egg. 1 slice of bread through food processor. Salt, pepper, parsley, genorous dollop of HP brown sauce. Mix everything together and it should be wet enough to stay together and turn into a ball but dry enough...

To expand on that in a lot of states there's law / advise (http://www.ihea.com/hunting-and-shooting/requirements/hunter-orange-requirements) to wear hi visibility clothing normally bright orange but there are other colours in a couple of the laws like chartreuse. Which has lead to companies...

Have you tried printing a test page since the test pattern might give you a clue what is wrong. Although the software reports 1/5 ink left I find that it can be wrong sometimes especially if you're using non-OEM cartridges but with the non-white bars not being faded it sounds more like a print...

I'm not 100% sure if this is what you're wanting it to do but you could try a piece of diffusion filter (its used in stage lighting to produce a diffuse lighting effect) depending on the density or grade of the filter it can scatter the light through a pretty large angle. If you're going to...
