![]() ![]() And if I sprinkle a little granola on top, it’s so easy for me - takes 2 seconds - but for them, they think they won the lottery.” “If I pipe some yogurt in, they suddenly look like parfaits. “I also love piping yogurt into fruit, whether it’s strawberries or raspberries,” she says. There’s also Rice Pandas, with cooked white rice from last night’s Chinese food delivery put in a mold and decorated with eyes, mouth, ears and paws cut out from sheets of dried seaweed. There is an edible insect made from a pitted date filled with sunflower seed butter and legs made from pretzels and, of course, candy eyes. But cucumber penguins and Babybel Pokémon delight even the most picky eaters. She uses the term “dictator” in loving respect to Sid and Lazlo, her sons with actor-husband Jason Biggs, who have been known to object to some foods on occasion. She offers 40 recipes from breakfasts to dinner, with a special emphasis on what to pack for school lunch. Mollen’s tricks - at the intersection of food and craft - are contained in her new cookbook, “Dictator Lunches,” from the HarperCollins imprint Harvest. “You lose something nutritionally having to give them the candy eyes, but you gain so much because they’re going to actually eat more because it’s entertaining.” “Honestly, first of all, just buy yourself some candy googly eyes. The writer and actor has learned that a pair of edible eyeballs attached to anything she sends will do wonders, making her children snigger as they swallow goofy slices of bell peppers, kiwis or dates. Jenny Mollen has an unusual go-to - candy eyes. I don't know, it just seems right.NEW YORK - When it comes to packing lunch for their kids, moms and dads have reliable favorites like PB&Js, bananas or maybe a bagel. ![]() If you sister two 2x4's together, the weak points in one stick are unlikely to be aligned with the weak points in the other - so two would carry more than twice the amount of one, three more than three times and so on. So we all know that there will be parts of that 2x4 that are weak points, like at a dead knot, or where the grain runs off the edge of the board, right? But all that gets factored in and an average is calculated of many tests to come up with the expected strength of the average 2x4 of any given grade. Okay, tests have been performed under controlled conditions and the data studied by qualified people to get that rating, right? Let's say a 2x4 spanning 8 feet is rated to carry x number of psf. ![]() And I can't cite any engineering background or facts here, Dunc, but I'll try my best to explain my thinking. Let's see if I can say this.first off, the thing I said earlier about the way a horizontal framing member fails, by rolling.īut there's more. and WAY more than simply multiplying the individual span strength > times the number of boards. I'd be interested to hear how you intend to do that. At least if you are working in any type of siesmic sensitive area. Now as for that ledger on a brick wall, I think you might have some problems there. ![]() In fact, I think I remember a friend telling me he was renovating some turn of the century flat roofed commercial buildings in Tacoma, and that's exactly how the roofs were were framed, 2x4s on edge, nailed together across the entire width of the building. So my thinking would be, that the glulam is alot stronger because there no way for those individual 2xs to roll, and I am having a real tough time imagining the entire beam rolling into what would be vertical. (came back to say that that's why midspan blocking and cross bridging strengthen a span, because they keep the middle of those framing members from rolling under load) You've probably seen this many times, where the middle section of an overloaded ceiling joist starts to lean, or twist. I sure hope some engineer chimes in here, but I think there is great strength in a glulam layed over on it's side - way more than the same number of 2x4's nailed together would have, and WAY more than simply multiplying the individual span strength times the number of boards.Īs I understand it, horizontal structural member most often fail when the center rolls over towards horizontal, even if the two ends are secured upright. ![]()
