Juice of 1 Lime

Hamburger Marinade

Although it doesn't seem very common you can in fact marinade hamburgers. They only need to marinade for about an hour and they will be good. Its very simple,

2 T. green Tabasco sauce
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
2 T. Soy sauce
and the entire contents of this seasoning

Mix this all together and mix with enough water to cover 5 hamburgers.
Enjoy

Salmon Patties

I love Salmon, but buying fresh is too expensive on a college student budget so I have to buy the canned stuff. The canned stuff is good but seems to be way more fishy than I would like so I use this recipe to make them taste delicious.



1 Can Salmon
1/4 c flour
1/4 c corn meal
1 egg
1/4 c chopped onion
3 T. Mayonnaise
6 saltines crushed

Mix everything together and form into patties and fry in a small amount of oil. You can add more mayo or saltines to adjust for moisture.

Cool Light Bulb trick

So now a days with energy saving bulbs, it is easy to remove a broken bulb. In the chance you still use old bulbs(You know the incandescent kind) and you accidentally break one, if you still have one, then try this trick to remove the bulb. Simply cut a potato in half, unplug or turn off the power source of the light, push the white fleshy part of the potato into the broken bulb a little and start twisting the potato counter clockwise to remove the broken bulb. It's that simple.

Evernote

So tonight I signed up for Evernote. I have been looking for a way to start taking notes through an app and Evernote seemed like the place to go. I have only read good things about Evernote so it will be interesting to see what it can do. Give me some time to try it out and I will post back with a full review in a couple months. Until the review comes try it out for yourself and tell me what you think, just post in the comments below. Are you already using Evernote? Let me know what you think and give me some tips on what to do with it.

Dropbox and why it's so great!

In my life I am always taking pictures, typing papers, and using other things on my computer. Because I am always on the run and using different computers at home, school, and friends houses it is nice to have all my files in one place. Dropbox is what I use for my cloud storage needs and here are my reasons for using it.
1. Always have important documents
      It's nice having all my school paper in one place so if I forget them at home I can access them on Dropbox and print them off at school.
2. Pictures are uploaded from my phone to Dropbox
     When ever I take pictures with my phone the camera upload feature with Dropbox, uploads the picture immediately. This part is nice so that you can save all your phones pictures to your home desktop with the next feature.
3. The desktop application
     If in the odd chance your internet goes out, the desktop application saves everything locally to your home desktop.

Dropbox is a great application and is great for cloud storage and I highly recommend it if you find yourself always in need of programs, pictures, or documents. There are tons of posts out there with other great ideas and uses for Dropbox so check it out.
