I grew up in Hendersonville (suburb of Nashville on the north side), and I remember Prince’s hot chicken being a thing from way back. I don’t know that I ever thought of it as a “traditional” (as though we were all eating it on Sundays at memaw’s house) food (as you aptly point out), but it was definitely around and…

Funny because it sounds freakin’ delicious. If it’s better than that, crap I’m gettin’ fatter.

“At least it won’t be as repetitive as her other appearances.” Unless you mean repetitive in its less used form meaning can’t get enough of, you best shut your face ;)

Never heard of this...(quick Google later)...holy crap why have I never heard of this? One more thing I can add to my list of things I must have in the pantry that the rest of my family will hate while I luxuriate in it.

Agreed. It’s also better parallelism, which makes it sound somehow more noble like a fine speech. Although, I know plenty of folks who make a good argument that more words is always worse than fewer. In this case, I feel like the need for clarity outweighs the need for brevity.

If you have beef broth, that works for getting the remnants out as well and then will also make the sauce taste more home cooked once simmered.

Pizza dough is great. It’s so incredibly simple to make, and you can turn it into a loaf of rustic Italian bread, breadsticks, cinnamon rolls (I do this frequently because I make pizza almost ever week—it’s why I’m fat you see), soft pretzels, and of course frying them sounds a lot like beignets to me.

That’s not always an option. One of my dogs HATED it inside. She would claw and bite the doors and frames to get out. I think she hated our kids because she was first and they invaded. I built a house just for her with insulated walls, ceiling, floor and a thick foam flap strip door. I put a very small heater meant…

GREAT post. I really enjoyed. Sometimes I get a little frustrated with NDT, feeling like maybe the celebrity is more important to him. Plus, I don’t like that he attacks teachers as part of his frustration with American education. However, moments like these come along that remind me he is passionate about science and…

When we bought our current house, I was working at a university trying to get a small business center on its feet. Despite my repeated questioning about their continued backing of the project, they pulled the plug right before our closing. The underwriter dropped us like hot turds (because cold turds aren’t as bad,…

What is being sadly overlooked in all arguments here is the existence of a 20 minute side-street wrestling match scene between Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David. I think we can all agree that that’s entertainment!

I can’t tell you how great the Circuit Playground is. I bought one to play with and involve my kids, and it’s so easy to do tons of fun things. Okay, a slouch protector is kind of silly, but when you think of what’s built into the board to allow that, possibilities should start exploding!

I’ve never dunked (will remedy soon), but HELL YES to toasting and and then getting freaky with the butter.

Yep. That’s pretty much what French toast is. So wonderful.

I had to write and essay, provide a portfolio, bring several professional references who would vouch for me, and be accepted on a probationary status until taking the first three classes and proving I was worth a shot. Considering the degree is in my professional field where I’ve spent more than a decade, I was given…

I discovered a very similar system for myself back in college. I went through high school doing nothing and getting by so I screwed myself thoroughly on learning actual techniques and practices for studying. When I got to college, I suffered greatly (in terms of grades) for a long time till I figured it out.

The real problem is that people aren’t getting the detoxifying foot baths. See, it’s all the toxins, probably from a genetically modified gluten, poisoning their system and causing the fungal cancers and the xenomorphic blood. Scientists just don’t want to tell us the truth because it would jeopardize their lavish…

Whenever I buy a grocery store rotisserie chicken that I don’t use immediately, which is most of the time given my families schedule, I refrigerate it to use later. Once cooled, I go in and scoop out all the congealed fat from the tray it came in so I can use it in other things. One of my favorites is turning the…

Don’t chill them, and store them with other fruits that are ripe or ripening. The article mentions bananas, which do work great. In fact, trying buying a browning banana at the same time you buy a hard, too-green avocado and put them together for a couple days. I have to do this often as the avocados I buy at Kroger…

Yeah, I just went and checked to see that the functionality have arrived for me, and it has. I tried a few APA references and they were all completely wrong.
