Ah, you’re right. I shouldn’t post this stuff because some of you might have seen it already. Fuck everybody else who hasn’t and comes here to see this stuff, it’s all about you. My bad for saving this for a few days so I could have something to post on days I’m working on longer stories.

If you couldn’t answer that question before this article, there’s literally no point in asking it here.

Better Than Bouillon = better than bouillon, boxes, etc.

But in this situation the boss is saying that you need more experience outside of the scope of the job you were hired to go further. Yous boss comes in with a soft suggestion and you lay down some slightly harder suggestions to build off their suggestion.

Thanks for what strikes me as excellent advice. At one time I cared for children with leukemia, the most common cancer among children. Our chemotherapy often meant they'd been vomiting as their bodies sensed what has happening. I'd be with them, holding a bucket to spare their parents that ordeal.

A good point. Unfortunately, there's not really any perfect solution, but the backyard is probably a lot easier to clean up than a bucket. Unless you happen to have a perfectly manicured lawn.

If you find yourself stuck in a lot of one-way friendships, you might be too nice. I always used to be the type of person who would almost always defer to my friends' schedules and preferences for hanging out, but then I realized that whenever there was something I really wanted to see, I had to go by myself.

I've stayed in some upscale hotels that put out polite little cards telling you how much you can expect to be charged for a robe if you decide to buy one (by taking it).

Pay for loaders at the source, pay for unloaders at the destination, drive truck yourself.

Dear Kristin Wong/Lifehacker/GawkerMedia/Kinja:

For wine, the rule I've heard is to store it on its side to keep the liquid against the cork and keep it from drying out. That keeps the cork from shrinking and allowing the oxygen to seep into the bottle.

Trying this...wish me luck...

If you're using imitation vanilla, pour it all into a bowl, contemplate why you are even baking in the first place, pour it in the toilet, wash the bowl while feeling shame, then go buy real vanilla. You can probably double the real vanilla in a lot of recipes too. Follow these steps and you too can someday be a…

"You can optionally enter the sizes of clothes you already own and which brand they are to further refine results."

Some of us live too far out to get decent reception so this suffices.

Perhaps I can shed some light into the actual chemistry taking place when you salt and starch a steak (or anything). Cornstarch does indeed absorb moisture, it's incredibly hygroscopic, and will do just that when applied to the surface of a steak. The salt itself is more of a misnomer as all salts (kosher, sea,…

Why not spatchcock the chicken? If nothing else, it gives you the opportunity to use the word "spatchcock."

I love the hard shell tacos and am certainly capable of finding Mexico on the Map. Just because something is not authentic (whatever that is) does not mean it does not taste good.
