Arrest you? I want to give you some kind of award!

I’m in Illinois, and all my life I’ve never heard them called anything but Long Johns. So, of course, I just went and searched the local Walmart store’s site for them, and they’re labeled “bars.” smh

Wine coolers are back?!?

Oh, yeah, I can see some ginger being good in there.

When I read the premise, I thought I recognized it. Dug around a little and found that I’ve read Wool. Did io9 publish all or part of the original short story? I have some vague memory of maybe reading it on here?

I’ve just discovered Walmart’s packaged pulled rotisserie chicken. It’s tasty and makes it really easy to mix up some chicken salad for lunch at work. Yesterday I made some, just mixed together about 4 oz of the chicken, a tablespoon of mayo, and a snack packet of nuts and dried cherries, then made a sandwich on keto…

Lemon is a critical ingredient for a good chicken soup, IMO. You want just enough lemon flavor that it makes you think, “Is there a bit of lemon in this?”

We have a local place that makes taco, BLT, and cheeseburger pizzas that are really good.

Theoretically, it seems like the 14th Amendment should already disqualify him from holding any state or federal office. It doesn’t say anything about being convicted even, just “...shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” Hundreds of his…

I’m curious if you were led to The Prisoner after watching Severance? I feel like there are a lot of similarities, or at least influences. Recently. :D

They got the scale of that yellow jacket all wrong. They’re surprisingly small, only about 1/2" long. The one on that can is practically murder hornet size!

Isn’t that already taken by [insert_”lite”_beer_name]?

No Big Belly Burger or CC Jitters?

I’ve had ostrich, and weirdly it’s more like beef pot roast than chicken. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t be breaded and fried, though!

We sent Martha Stewart to prison for some small-time insider trading. We can surely put this MF away for a while for his many much worse crimes.

I feel like you could go all-in on the BLT and chop up bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and a little finely shredded lettuce. Mix it all up with some mayo and put it between two slices of toasted sandwich bread. If I hadn’t already just eaten lunch, I’d be really hungry now thinking about this.

Something I have a lot with lunch at work is raw broccoli/cauliflower/carrots with salt, pepper, and drizzles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Also a mix of blueberries and raspberries, treated the same way. It’s amazing how good berries are with those traditionally savory add-ons.

How about tater tots? That sounds pretty great on a salad to me right now.

A few years ago we bought a fairly cheap little chest freezer. I measured it and found a metal 3-shelf rack online that fits inside and really helps keep it more organized. The alternative was just piling things inside and having to dig for them any time we wanted something.

Agreed on the paper vs. plastic. I’m in the southern half of Illinois, where we still grow peaches, though not as many as we once did. I planted a peach tree in my yard two years ago, so I’m hoping to have some of my own eventually. I planted a couple of apple trees, too. There are still a lot of apples grown in the…
