I made chicken cordon bleu last night with prosciutto and gruyere and was shocked to find that the gruyere cheese was twenty dollars pound. Baby or Alpine Swiss melts, and tastes just as well, but the price wasn't displayed (for a reason I'm sure).
I used to do chili powder on popcorn as a kid as well or sometimes the equivalent of taco seasoning (ie. cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt).

I really love gruyere, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost difference, as you say.

Nothing really melts quite like gruyere, and you owe it to yourself to try it on a soft pretzel. It's phenomenal.

Yes, and I've also consulted start up businesses.

Please be more specific with your questions as the answer to your second question would be "good".

Unless you do know what you are getting into. Eh?

Eh?


Starting a business is the same as starting a new job; you have to work your tail off and swallow the fact you don't know squat.

idk where else to put it since I can't see a place to ask this, and I don't want to start a thread.

I'v seen people's sigs on here where they have pictures of the consoles they own. I want something like that but i'm horrible with HTML and such.

Can someone explain how to do this in steps a five year old would understand? I want it REALLY simple since...again I suck at HTML.

Oh and where to get said pics as well.

Do a Google image search for "console sprites." Download the images you want. Use an image editor to create your banner. Upload it to Photobucket or something, then copy the URL.

BBcode for putting an image in your signature:

Code: Select all

[img]Your image's URL[/img]
That is,
