“Family comes before everyone else.”

This won’t apply to everyone, but me and my husband had been going thru infertility treatments, and the worst advice everyone loves to give is “Just relax! It will happen when you least expect it!” No, Karen, it won’t. I don’t ovulate without medical help. Ovulation requires pills and shots and transvaginal…

“Go to college so you can get a degree and a good paying job.”

oh I can’t stand the whole “do what you love” career advice.  do what pays you to afford the life that permits you to do what you love after work.  take it from someone who’s first degree is in fine arts.  I got a master’s in something that has an actual job market, and my friends from my undergrad days who didn’t do…

“Be honest." "Just be yourself" "Say what's on your mind.". Lol. I want to keep my job, my marriage, and my friends, thanks. 

I will note that it IS possible to be sensitive to MSG.

As someone with a glutamate allergy, I seriously question the results of these studies saying that it doesn’t exist. They’re always so eager to claim that the reaction isn’t repeatable, when I’ve literally had the reaction repeated at an allergist.

It took trump three weeks to fill out the questionnaire because he’s a lazy bitch...

I’m glad you didn’t try to tell us what to do with leftover latkes.  Anyone with any sense at all knows there is no such thing as a leftove latke.

Regarding oil: you shouldn’t fry with extra virgin olive oil, as it has a smoke point well under proper frying temperatures, but non-virgin olive oil is great for frying as it doesn’t smoke until about 450F, higher than canola which only makes it to about 400F.

While making them, please be sure to blast “8 Days” by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and serve them with Manischewitz as God and nature intended.

Ok, I’m going to share the greatest latke recipe, ever. I grew up in a Jewish family, decades of latkes. Mountains of potatoes, onions, eggs, flour have passed before me. Once I developed this recipe, I will never go back. I want easy, fluffy inside, shatteringly crunchy outside, minimum cleanup latkes.

A lot of recipes let the starch settle out of the drained liquid so it can be returned, but matzo meal also works as a binder, texture lightener, and source of toasty flavour. It’s also omnipresent in Jewish kitchens, so it’s a go-to carb (I use it instead of hardtack or common crackers in chowder, for instance).

Unless you wish to fatigue your wrist and possibly shred the skin off of your knuckles, put the grater back in the drawer and reach for a little mechanical help.

You can’t get rid of proper engineering procedures if the old guys are still around. If you can’t get rid of proper engineering procedures you cannot have the self driving battery powered cars of tomorrow today because they simply cannot pass through long established engineering requirements with today’s technology.

It was only a matter of time before GM committed to killing Oshawa completely; they've been slowly doing it for years. The irony is that according to their own website, that plant is the best one they have and the most flexible, able to build any and all products from all brands. You would think that would be…

I don’t disagree on closing the production lines for bad selling models, but laying off the senior engineering staff in favor of cheap younger people does not paint a great picture moving forward.

The problem is that even the GM employees don’t actually know what’s going to happen. There hasn’t been a plan announced as to the target for layoffs. Everything you’ve heard, even though it comes from GM employees own mouths, is speculation.

Speaking with a few family and friends at Thanksgiving who are current GM employees eligible for the buyout, the consensus was the 12 years thing is an end run around age discrimination claims, a lot of employees within 10 years of retirement are really worried, and contract workers should be freshening up their…

Cool, cool. I’ll be calling it “Piggy Mix” from now on. Thanks! :)
