Daily Roundup: November 16, 2009
Bait and Switch: After Chrysler took (and kept) $15.3 billion in taxpayer money for the purpose of producing electric vehicles, it scrapped its program to produce electric vehicles. About.com Bye-Bye Bluefin: A 40 percent decrease in bluefin tuna fishing was agreed upon in a deal brokered in Brazil.

Amanda Peet Dishes on Frankie’s Bedtime Routine
Fame Most parents will make it a priority to establish a good routine at bedtime, but if it’s possible to have too much of a good thing, Amanda Peet and David Benioff might take the cake! During a Thursday appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman , the 37-year-old actress said that her 2 ½-year-old daughter Frances ‘Frankie’ Pen “is a very good sleeper” who “doesn’t wake up at all in the night.” The couple are so pleased with the shuteye they log, however, they go to great lengths to repeat the process. “My sister and her husband make fun of us all the time because we’re sort of like baseball players,” Amanda explains. “We have to … keep her surroundings exactly the same.” The couple use blackout shades in Frankie’s room, and then add layers of “various articles of dark clothing, like David’s sock and scarf to make it really, really dark,” Amanda explains

Americans are adopting some green behaviors, but according to this recent Wall Street Journal report , they aren't going with the flow when it comes to water-conserving showerheads.

The Top 10 Must Haves For Your Turkey Day Table!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and before you think about all the Black Friday deals out there, there’s the actual Thanksgiving Day to think of first! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it’s one of the few times of the year where my entire extended family comes together for a whole day filled with delicious food. We may have the conventional turkey and cranberry sauce, but my family has been known to roll some sushi rolls or add some stir fry noodles to the mix. If you’re starting your own Thanksgiving traditions this year, I’m here to provide the basics for a foolproof holiday from thermometers to serveware.

Vegetarian Thanksgiving Tips
image from riptheskull Thanksgiving is technically about giving thanks and spending time with loved ones, but it’s really just an excuse to eat copious amounts of delicious food- depending on what you consider delicious. A holiday nicknamed “turkey day” certainly does not bode well for vegans and vegetarians, especially those spending the day in a crowd of meat-eaters. Annoying vegetarian jokes aside ( snappy comebacks here ), the day’s emphasis on poultry heightens the omnivore/herbivore rift

Comfy Cashmere Sweaters Without The Campy Christmas Prints
Sure, cashmere is soft and luxurious — just the kind of warm-weather material we crave during the cold winter months. But for some reason, whenever I think of the idea of a cashmere sweater, I can’t help but be haunted by my childhood memories of unwrapping my Christmas gift from Grandma and finding (to my utter dismay) a chunky cable-knit creation with a dilapidated Christmas tree on its front

Recipe ~ REAL Decadent Chocolate Mousse
After friends recently returned home from France bragging about the chocolate mousse they had, and then my fav local French bistro, Bistrot Bistro , sent me their newsletter that included their chocolate mousse recipe, I figured it was a sign to share their recipe with all of you. I presumed chocolate mousse had lots of ingredients and was difficult to make – like working with a soufflé. I never knew chocolate mousse was only two ingredients, chocolate and eggs

More On The AFRICOM Debate
One of my posts regarding AFRICOM has prompted a healthy and civil discussion of the issues from readers. Let me add a thought or two: While there have been many misguided ventures financed by the IMF and others (including the U.S.) in Africa, not all have failed. Nor have all the failures been due to the source.
