FOMO is for people under the age of 30. After that, a quiet night alone or with someone you have genuine affection for is often the preferred option.

Good tip on freezing beans. I cook black beans for chili - one bag makes two enough for two batches. I pack and freeze half of what I cooked. They taste just as good as if I made them straight away, and they’re much better than canned.

If too high, yes, you’ll destroy a sauce. The key is to pay attention to the temps and the liquids. Wine and whiskey works wonders, believe me.

1. Use a pressure cooker. Soak the beans overnight, put ‘em in the cooker, cover with water, turn on. Presto. Perfectly cooked beans.

Throw it out. Teflon pans are terrible.

I’m just gonna throw away anything that’s moldy, thank you.

I agree absolutely with your comment. I was coming more from the perspective of the person I was replying to, though. S/he said only undertakers should wear black suits. That’s wrong, IMO.

That’s no doubt what the person who wears that combination thinks. Instead, though, they look like they walked out of a high school theater production of Guys and Dolls.

Great advice!

Been driving for 30 years - no tickets, no accidents.

From the OC:

No arguments there.

You probably have a point if you’re tooling around in a CJ-7.

Nope. Just last Sunday, I was in the situation I described. I was doing 80 in a 65, saw the trooper, applied the brakes, and was down to the speed limit before I was in range. I didn’t pull that example out of my hat.

Cat owners will tell the same story. My sister got a cat - the smell was the first thing I noticed when I visited. It wasn’t cat lady bad, but definitely noticeable. She tried to tell me there wasn’t a smell.
