Happy to report that I made this last night, with Thai coconut sauce, and added some fish sauce + lime juice. It was fine. Nothing to write home about, but it was simple to make. The sauce was sort of runny though, so I may add some plain greek yogurt [or labneh] and some Chinese five spice.

Thanks for this post. Everything you said also feels like it could have also been taken from the pages of Never Eat Alone, by Keith Ferrazzi. His book was immensely helpful when I was trying to find a new job while in school for my MBA.

Fine, but it still works. It gives us each a chance to celebrate small victories on a daily basis.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. If you have a good history with the company and you make one mistake, usually a polite phone call can take care of the first instance.

What about if the fries were fried in the same fryer and oil that was used to fry meat? would they be considered vegetarian at that point? Like, maybe the fries got cooties from the oil.

So, I’ve never looked for Thai coconut milk before. Is this something that’s typically available at most major grocers (i.e. Kroger), or to I have to go to an Asian grocery store for this?

Like I said, an exception to every rule. It just happened to work out this way.

I guess there’s an exception to every rule. I bought my first home and lived in it for four years and sold it for 1.5x what I paid for it. I was basically living for free while I was there too, because I rented out two of the bedrooms to people which paid for the whole mortgage.

Yes, this same principle can be applied to adults, too. It hard not to ask “How was your day?” especially because I genuinely care about how his days was.

So, my aunt and uncle live in the Denver area, and have a clever way around this specific issue. His car is registered under her name, and hers is registered under his. What way any time one of them gets a ticket from some autocop type thing, they can just say “Hey look at your picture, that obviously wasn’t me…

Excuse my ignorance here, but what is dwb? Driving with beer?

But hey, props to you for only having one year left on your mortgage!

Lobster. I’m planning to sous vide some lobster for Valentine’s Day, and would love to learn how it works out for you first.

If I’m in a mall or some store and decide I want to purchase something that I think I may end up regretting, I walk away. If after all of my other shopping I still want to come back to it, then I allow myself to reevaluate it at that time. It allows me to distance myself from that “moment,” both mentally and…

I learned something today. Thank you

I just use the Hot Corners on my Mac for this. When I swipe the cursor to the bottom right it instantly locks my computer and puts the display to sleep.

While I tend to agree with you, I actually did this once, on a whim. I paid the $3.24 in shipping for the free item. It showed up a couple weeks later (from China, of course), and I actually liked it. It was what It said it was. Granted, I never went back and bought anything from the company, but I did get a cheap…

I keep cash on me for a similar situation but in a different sense. I know that the attacker is going to get more out of me that a $20, so I plan to end up not having my cell phone or wallet. When I go out to bars etc. while traveling, I always take a $20 (or the equivalent in local currency) and fold it up really…

See, and that’s where I struggle. I’m currently getting between 4-17% returns on my retirement accounts (before you subtract the management fees, etc.) but the interest rate on the student debt for my graduate degree is 6.8%. It’s pretty high, and I’ll be paying on it for a long time. Would probably be be better to…

Well I wasn’t sure that I could commit. But the issue was that the job was in the Austin area, and the salary didn’t quite make it affordable to live in Austin. I took a better paying job in Dallas with a higher salary but more standard benefits, and I’m loving it.
