This was during a huge snow storm that basically shut my city down for over a week.

I know this is an older post and that this probably won’t get seen, but I have been dealing with a bunch of very unpleasant adulting bullshit and I have been thinking on this a lot to distract myself from how shitty my life is at present. Also, I have A LOT OF OPINIONS AND FEELINGS about grocery stores.

I like going…

I’ve been drinking tequila mixed with the new spicy watermelon lemonade from minute maid (which I put jalapenos in because it wasn’t actually spicy) and some orange juice. I haven’t left my house since Wednesday afternoon.

- I have not made a resolution per se as I don’t do well with a hard and fast “Today I’m going to start to do this or completely stop that!” style of thinking. I basically quit smoking last year by accident and while I’m not sure if I’ll be able to STAY quit, I sure would like to. We buried two family members from…

FOOD COURT

Thank christ because I read this article and I bought it anyway.

I will be sous vide ing the random innards of the turkey to make gravy this week. I have no reason to do this beyond the facts that the turkey will be deep fried and I need to keep as much out of my tiny oven as possible.

Could I use this as a substitute (obviously not a 1:1 swap) for black garlic?

The roasted red pepper and tomato soup (it’s boxed, not canned) is pretty good. I don’t like tomato soup as a rule, but this stuff was pretty tasty, especially once I tsujed it up a little with fresh basil and some garlic. It’s especially good with ramen noodles.

You are a true visionary. I wish I could eat this today.

My dad wraps sandwiches (specifically for road trips) like this:
Toasted multigrain bread with cheese on the bottom, sauce on top, meat and onions in the middle, wrapped in wax paper.

I have been having to avoid fried food and cheese for three weeks now due to my dumbass gallbladder. Two weeks ago I went to a football tailgate and tried to regulate my “drunk” level with crudite and as a result became REALLY drunk really fast.

Cheese is important and I miss it so.

My gallbladder is in the process of being evicted. I have been actively trying to cut fat as close to completely from my diet as I can without going completely crazy and a) I hate myself b) even I wouldn’t eat this.

Today, when Ken wanted to go out to dinner, we walked to the bar right by our house because I figured…

Have you done gin here yet? Because I would like to see that.

• Stock: I use the Better than Bouillon stuff. I need to get better about making my own, but...

I don’t have a recipe recommendation per se but I strongly feel that when you name it it should have a ‘n in it’s name.

Examples:
Tuna ‘n Peas ‘n Noodles

10/10 would go there, would unironically enjoy it, would Instagram the eff out of that meal.

Lazy Cabbage Rolls is one of my fave casseroles. I want to make this now.

Also, tuna casserole is legit.

I would actually eat this and enjoy it unless my in-laws actually showed up and then I would choke myself.
