 all.
Enter the Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Commercial Baker's Big Sheet, a large non-stick baking pan that will fit in just about any standard oven. The high-quality aluminum surface allows for even baking while the rimmed edges prevent the pan from warping even in high oven temperatures.
Not only has the simple pan earned the title of Amazon's Choice for rimmed baking sheets and garnered more than 5,500 five-star reviews, but it's also the best sheet pan, according to our own food editor, Lisa Cericola. "Other than my chef's knife and trusty cast-iron pan, it's the most dependable tool in my kitchen," she wrote.
Amazon shoppers seem to agree with Cericola and note that the pan doesn't warp in high temperatures and that the non-stick surface makes it easy to clean.
"Yes, you can use this under a broiler or at 450+ degrees Fahrenheit to roast vegetables, and yes, cooked-on oil comes clean and doesn't affect the stickiness of the pan. This is all aluminum, with (allegedly) steel around the edges so it doesn't warp at high temperatures. Very heavy duty pan," one reviewer wrote.
While you could easily find cheaper baking sheets — the pan is usually listed for $20, but it's currently on sale for $17 — reviewers confirm that this one is well worth the cost. One shopper said, "These are the nicest baking sheets I've ever owned, and I've tried a lot of different brands over the years! I will admit in the past I always went for the cheapest ones I could find, but now I know it's totally worth it to spend a few more bucks for quality."
Another reviewer even called the baking sheets "kitchen workhorses" and said that they use them for everything from roasting vegetables to meat. "I have three sizes in my kitchen now [and] they are all made from the same durable aluminum. They clean up beautifully and they last… The large size is especially great for all the sheet pan dinner recipes that have become popular [and it] ensures that the food won't be overcrowded."
Head to Amazon to upgrade your baking sheets with these durable long-lasting pans that are food editor-approved.Double post in case I need it. Didn't last year though.

Haven't needed a second post for these journals yet, but what the heck.
Let's get some more people in here! Come on!
- Mon Petit Doigt m'a Dit...
What do you'all do? Post what movies you have seen the year so far? And what is the second post for?
Yep. We post what movie watched on what day. So for my list at the top those are all of the movies I have watched this year and the days I watched them.
The second post is in case we watch so many movies that we run over the "character limit" that the board allows for a single post. Meaning you can only type so much before you run out of "space". In the first movie journal thread (2005) some of us needed a second "page" and had to end up separating our posts/journals. So last year and this year we would do a double post so our full journals could stay together. Though depending on how many movies you watch AND if you use a colour coding system, like some of us do, you might not need the second post. In 2005 I watched 246 movies and coloured coded everything. So I needed a second post. In 2006 I watched 124 movies and scaled back on the colour coding, so I didn't need a second post.
Some people like to link their journals in there "signature" where you that Will Rogers quote. I like to see what I've watched over the year and what I was into at certain times. I also like to see what others are watching just in case if we've seen the thing recently.
There's really no rules for the journals. I do have my own set of "standards" but I've never mentioned them. Basically if I start a movie, for example, on April 30th at 11:59pm I count it was being watched on that day rather then May 1st even though I pretty much watched the whole movie on May 1st. If I watch a movie halfway through (which happened with one movie once) I don't count it and don't put it down.
You can join up if you want. It doesn't matter if you don't watch a lot of movies.  In 2005 I planned on watching all of Eastwoods movies (that I own) in order of release. It's taken me two years to get to High Plains Drifter. So it's pretty neat to go back and see what I was watching two years ago.When Last Doorway Productions brought its’ signature horror comic line to Scattered Comics last year, it was clear things were going to change in great ways for the company. One of such comic books is “Forgotten Tales”. Hosted by Miss Misery, “Forgotten Tales” brings you back to classic styled horror comics. (In the vein of EC Comics). In its first issue, we see the self-contained story of a young actress trying to break into the movie industry and finds herself in a real life horror movie. Stop right there. Because this comic book has really become a horror movie!
Combining all 3 originally short stories (Which only the first has been released in comic book format so far), Miss Misery (Writer/director) brings “Forgotten Tales” to the screen, G-String), and so many more. (Click here for complete cast) The cast along with Reyna Young (Miss Misery) came together just after completing a shoot and spoke in depth about the film and their experiences on set on The Phantom Zone Show. (Click link to hear interview).
The film itself wrapping up and should be out soon. In the meantime, here is the just released trailer. Enjoy!As the head coach of Chaparral's boys tennis program, organizing team dinners and ordering uniforms fell to Cort Alcott. 
These tasks went alongside Alcott's goal of helping the Firebirds succeed against some of the toughest competition in Arizona. Yet, his responsibilities changed, thanks to four of his players.
Chaparral's seniors not only took charge of many of those secondary duties, but also instilled additional strategies and activities to set a new mentality for its state title chase this season.
"It's really important for us because not only (are) we playing here, but we're also going to leave a legacy here," senior Jeremy Lee said. "Those younger kids, they're gonna be playing varsity when we leave. So I think it's important for us to give them as good of an experience as they can get."
These changes have already paid dividends, as the Firebirds are ranked No. 1 in Division 1 by the Arizona Interscholastic Association for the first time since 2012, according to Alcott, with a 7-0 record.
Since their freshman year, Lee, along with fellow seniors Tyler Fellows, Mateo Moss and Charly Rapin, have played together on Chaparral's Varsity team. Heading into the season, the four approached leadership in various ways.
Lee wanted to showcase that the Firebirds were more determined than other teams, while Rapin expressed the importance of being present in order to help out team members. Fellows emphasized being a role model to the underclassmen and Moss prioritized team members having fun on the court, in addition to being focused during competition.
"Having four seniors on Varsity, for one, looks really good," Fellows said. "I've known these guys forever. We're all very compatible with each other. Nothing's ever wrong. There's good chemistry."
The group plays a key role for Chaparral, as Moss leads the team at the No. 1 singles spot and the other seniors play in three of the remaining five singles slots. On Tuesday, Moss won a hard-fought match against Matt Scott of Pinnacle after giving up nine games in two sets. His fellow seniors gave up a combined 10 games in their matches.
An 8-1 victory over the Pioneers (Fellows lost a doubles match with sophomore Logan Price) maintained the Firebirds' position ahead of Brophy Prep and defending champion Desert Mountain in the standings. It also gave the team a reason to celebrate by continuing one of their coaches' traditions.
Roughly twice a week, the seniors attend dinner with teammates. Usually occurring after practices or wins, Fellows said the gathering allows him to get to know freshman and sophomores and better understand his teammates, which can translate to performance on the court.
"I think we did a good job of creating a good atmosphere for the team to really feel like a team," Moss said. "Tennis itself is a very individual sport. It's not really meant to be a team sport, so it takes some work. But overall... I think everybody's happy to be here and they all have a lot of fun playing."
For Alcott, the seniors' dedication demonstrates how important the program is to them.
"By senior (year), they know they're leaving," Alcott said. "So they like to come and do this. Where in the beginning they would be like, 'Oh, I've got this, I've got to do that,' now they know they have friends. They like being here and they like practice."
While Chaparral has been successful under Alcott — Moss was the runner-up in individual singles in last year's state tournament — the Firebirds have not contended for a team title since
