    • Yahoo! Top Ten Searches Of 2010

      By Sarah Auerswald | Yahoo Motherboard – Sun, Dec 19, 2010 1:24 AM EST

      Yahoo! recently published their Top Ten Searches of 2010 and I thought you all needed to see them:

      Top Searches on Yahoo! in 2010

      1. BP oil spill
      
2. World Cup
      
3. Miley Cyrus 

      4. Kim Kardashian
      
5. Lady Gaga
      
6. iPhone
      
7. Megan Fox
      
8. Justin Bieber

      9. American Idol

      10. Britney Spears 


      Seven were celebrities (or celebrity-related), one was sports-related, one was tech, and one was news. I guess I'm pleased to see that the top item was news; the BP oil spill was an incredibly important and horrible event, and it went on for so long, I'm not surprised it was the number one search this year.

      Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber I get - she's fascinating and wears perfectly outlandish clothes, and he's the IT boy of the year. But I don't get the Kardashians at all.

      And Megan Fox? No offense, but seriously? Britney Spears? I would have thought we were done with her.

      Yahoo's list has made me feel completely out of touch.

    • My Aunt Judy From Minnesota's Wild Rice Stuffing Recipe

      By Sarah Auerswald | Yahoo Motherboard – Wed, Dec 1, 2010 3:12 AM EST

      My Aunt Judy lives in Minnesota, the Wild Rice capital of the world, and she makes the most delicious stuffing with it every year. Even though I moved from Minnesota to Los Angeles years ago, I still love wild rice. I started making this stuffing with my Thanksgiving turkey a few years ago, and it's become my family tradition now, too.

      It uses quite a bit of butter, but remember, you don't eat it every night. This is a special occasion! And it is worth the extra workouts. Delicious!

      Aunt Judy's Wild Rice Stuffing

      ½ pound sliced mushrooms

      2 cups chopped celery

      2 cups chopped onions

      1 cup butter, divided

      6 cups bread cubes

      1 cup chopped pecans

      1 teaspoon sage

      1 teaspoon thyme

      ½ teaspoon pepper

      1 cup cooked wild rice

      1 cup broth (chicken or vegetable)

      Saute the mushrooms, celery and onions in ½ cup butter until soft. In large bowl, combine bread cubes, pecans, sage, thyme and pepper. Add vegetable-butter mix and stir to combine.
