A nice coffee stout. Sometimes they’re even labeled as “breakfast stouts.”

Don’t get me wrong, I usually love good proper homemade mac and cheese with a variety of cheeses for complexity, baked until nicely browned and bubbly, perhaps with a crumb topping.

Possibly a mix of both. I have lost weight from stress/depression before and while it’s kinda nice to look in the mirror and see a flatter stomach, the source of that weight loss has you feeling so miserable that it’s not at all worth it.

For real. I wonder how many people in this world making fun of “sluts who get herpes” are asymptomatic carriers, themselves. It’s so common. 

The thai place I worked at for a while ground their own chili, and sometimes the crop would be crazy hot, and sometimes it’d be milder. That was a big.contributor to the variation in spice level. Just when you thought you had a good sense of the heat level, you’d run out of a certain batch and open up a new one, and…

Right? I worked in a Thai restaurant that wasn’t afraid to go native Thai on you if you asked for it. I don’t always like my food that hot, but I’d ask for it when I was congested. Cleared my sinuses out like a dream, and can’t say I noticed any ill effects at the other end. 

I remember not all that long ago, ten years maybe, when it seemed only the real crunchy hippies were into foraging. They learned how to do it right from older crunchy hippies.

This is basically how we made cold brew when I worked in a juice/coffee bar. Only instead of a mason jar, we had a five gallon bucket and a very big mesh filter bag. Made a great, strong concentrate that could be used to make many many iced coffees.

The amount of federal loan money you can get for undergrad studies is really not enough to party your way through college on. The annual loan limit ranges from 9,500 to 12,500, most, if not all of which is eaten up by tuition. You really need money in the bank or a job if you’re relying on federal loans to get through…

Sex with relatives isn’t an issue for Targaryens. Jon doesn’t seem that freaked about that part, either. Must be genetic. 

Counterpoint: There will almost certainly be plenty of time devoted to Bran/3ERaven and his relationship with the Night King in future episodes. For this episode, it was rather nice to see these characters catch up with each other, share a drink, and tell some stories. They’re experiencing the strange, tense calm of…

Do you have the time to make scratch smoothies? Just blend up some banana, berries and juice, you control all the ingredients? She might like that as well as or better than the mix.

This is absolutely false. Introversion and extroversion have to do with what level of human contact energizes you. Plenty of introverts are social and pleasant, they just need time alone to “recharge” after a lot of socialization. Extroverts are genuinely energized by human contact.

100%. I eat alone at my desk not because I’m a slave to the job who is afraid to take a break, but because my lunch is my goddamn peace and quiet time.

I’ve always loved tripe and tendon in pho, but haven’t made the jump to cooking it myself. The fact that I’ve never seen it in the store doesn’t help the matter. And the fact that my husband is a little more squeamish than I am about “weird” foods, so I’d be taking a gamble on whether what I made was a good dinner for…

I’ll give the guy one thing; he must actually like his job.

Hell yes to this take on the sous vide steak method. I don’t get it. Every step of the cooking process is an opportunity to impart flavor and sous vide offers nothing. 

Paying in for the first time in my life. I truly do not understand how it was acceptable to change tax withholding without any real notification. I recall reading about “some changes to withholding” but didn’t think much of it because, again, I’ve never owed.

I dug Dom Hemingway Jude. During that era, I was reading Dlisted and occasional other celebrity blogs and there were some “Jude Law spotted at the beach looking like he’s let himself go!” type headlines. I was like “a little chubby and allowed to be hairy? More than fine by me.

Interested in why mom alone is taking the fall? Why does no one mention William H. Macy in these discussions? Is there any way he didn’t know?
