My co-worker Mark found this gem. I think I have seen this with Darth Vader too - my kids were love eating toast from the Dark Side.

To skip the article... you basically poke a small hole to remove the egg contents. Rinse the shells out and let them sit in salt water for 30 minutes. Drain the water and let them air dry. When you're ready for baking, coat the inside of the shells with cooking oil. Set them in a cupcake tin (you can stabilize with aluminum foil) and use a bag to pipe in the batter through the small hole. Fill only to 3/4 full *very important* and bake 15 min or so at 350.

I gotta try these! Maybe for Easter

My own attempt at Star Wars pancakes (using the molds from Williams-Sonoma, mind you) is even sadder when compared to Jim's.

I rarely use the word "epic" but in this case, it's well-deserved.

Recently got back from a blissful 5 days away from technology... a "web fast" if you will. Got back to work more productive and focused than ever before.

The workouts are comprised of classic ballet movements - and I think that is the appeal for me. You just look so PRETTY doing the movements... everyone does. It's a tough workout but it's filled with grace and beauty. If you have a good imagination, you can pretend you are a ballerina, striving for a ballerina-type body; lean, strong and tight.

I've written about numerous of the classes on my DailyMile log, but overall what I enjoy most is (1) each class is different, (2) the high-energy, fast pop music, (3) the RESULTS. Over the past 2 months, I've lost a couple of pounds without changing my not-so-stellar eating habits, I fit into my clothes better, and have actually gotten stronger. I think that's what makes it so addicting... you like the way you look and feel when you're regularly doing the workouts. On the first or second class, I signed up for a 3-month membership on the spot. And I'm delighted I have not gotten bored.

While memories of my own childhood include following mom's lead on the yellow leotard, red shiny tights and legwarmers and doing Jane Fonda-esque repetitive moves, XtendBarre is much more elegant and provides amazing results. Most if not all of the locations let you take one class for free - I highly recommend giving it a try.

Note: I was offered a free one-month membership to try the class but was under no obligation to blog or tweet about the experience. I signed up for a 3-month membership (which I paid for) after the first class. Everyoe can take their first class free at the Scripps Poway location.
