I think we need to have a blue state / red state draft.

Yes, I do the taco seasoning thing with chicken too and put it on salad.

• How do you achieve a perfect roast chicken? Roasting pan, spatchcocked (TY Food Lab), with olive oil. If I have time and a lot of chickens, I’d rather make smoked chicken though.

Great read, thank you

We have friends (John and Jane) of our family who are a little younger than us, but they live in a bigger house, have expensive hobbies that we couldn’t afford, etc. They love to post their adventures on FB for all to see. John works at a respectable but not well-paying job and Jane doesn’t work, she stays home with…

Project Dank from La Cumbre brewery in Albuquerque...highly recommended

Drivers in Albuquerque will regularly “block the box” when there is almost no chance they can get to the other side of the intersection before the light turns. So yes, people here get stuck doing that all the time. Getting out in the intersection to turn left in heavy traffic is a toss-up at best, so I normally don’t…

This is a dicey situation in Albuquerque, and I won’t get into the intersection to turn left unless there is a clear opening coming up. The reason it’s dicey is because Albuquerque drivers often don’t pay attention to what’s in front of them and will enter an intersection even with traffic backed up so bad they won’t…

Whoa that is kinda trippy.

Awesome idea. Although I’m working now, I was a stay-at-home dad for a few years when my first kid was born. Wouldn’t trade that experience for the world but it drove me crazy at first. Would like to see some “how to stay sane as a SAHD” love for all the SAHD’s out there.

My thoughts exactly

• Which non-food-focused TV show has the best food? Star Trek.

The version I had was called “Dope Wars” I think. Great times.

HOLY GUACAMOLE

Well honestly I never thought of going through the flaps. Just learned that way I guess. I used to play baseball and soccer growing up...those pants and shorts usually don’t come with fly’s. Just used to grabbing the waistband of whatever I’m wearing and pulling down. Or maybe unzipped zipper teeth really scare me and…

I prefer to think of it as “Over the Top.” But yes.

Well I have seen people whack at the avocado pit with a knife and not twist....if the pit is really stuck, they will tug and tug until the knife suddenly comes loose which could be dangerous I guess. There are also videos on how to properly use a waiter’s corkscrew but I’ve seen people mess that up too.

The key to using the knife technique on the avocado pit is to *twist* the knife once it’s in the pit. This will free the pit from being stuck and it will come out much much easier. Also, don’t go get one of those “avocado scooper” things - I have one that I never use because it doesn’t remove the pit, takes longer to…

That was a really bad day for Hillary. It reinforced every negative stereotype against her.

Two times stick out in my mind. One is the “why am I not up 50 points?” moment in September. I had suspected that Hillary (and perhaps by extension, her voting base) was overconfident, and this confirmed it for me. Overconfidence which was egged on by major media like the NY Times and Maddow closer and closer to the…
