My younger brother was a track star in high school and he fueled himself before and during meets mostly with bacon and Skittles.

It should keep quite a while. Worcestershire sauce has a long life owing to the vinegar and salt so I'd imagine probably something into months in the fridge.

Re: expense reporting. In a past life I administered a faculty grant program for early career researchers. It was a huge deal and a ton of money and involved a fair bit of travel. At one of the sessions at one of our meetings one of the alumni of the program (they all came back because we rocked, a lot) was speaking…

For me, I don't imagine that sugar is any healthier than HFCS. However, I have diabetes (specifically cystic fibrosis related diabetes, which is an odd thing) and the occasional times I had a non-diet soda (because I _loathe_ diet soda and also really, really like regular Coke) the HFCS will jack my blood sugar in…

Commenting only to say we eat almost the same thing. Hot salsa, no extra cheese. Otherwise...

Lifted from Julia Child (I'm pretty sure).

The ATK testing on that is terrific, good call. I've always used cheap French blends since they published that.

I commented over on the SE page with this, but what the heck. For white wine I use dry vermouth (at $5 a liter from Trader Joe's) for virtually every application until I'm dumping a cup or more of wine into a recipe and then I start getting a little bit choosier. But for a little alcohol to help open up the flavor of…

definitely accurate from my end when I'm the seller. If I'm having a yard/garage sale I'm hoping to make some money but I also want all of it gone. I'm happy to bundle at any point. The more stuff you're clearing out the higher the value for me.

This isn't a contrarian view, but a think about how it applies to your specific partner view. For instance, a chore is not a chore is not a chore. For example: my wife unloads the dishwasher because 1) I hate unloading the dishwasher and 2) I do virtually all of the cooking and dishes. She does pretty much all of…

Oh, I'd forgotten about the honey dip....wow, I used to eat that, too. Who would put ketchup on a filet o fish? Yipes.

For me, too many details distract from the point of the story I want to tell. So unless it's important (like, it's specifically about the cheese biscuits at Red Lobster) then the name of the place isn't necessary and gets people thinking about things that aren't the point of the story.

I used to run into that at McDonald's with tartar sauce and the filet o fish. I want the damned "cheese" if I'm eating one of the things. Used to not be able to get it without sauce but with cheese.

It's a surprisingly useful feature. I scoffed a bit when I first saw it, but it's quite nice, really.

With Spotify (premium at least) you can control whatever device is currently playing from whatever other device you have logged in. Last night while cooking dinner I had my iPad playing via Airplay to a speaker in the kitchen. iPad was in another room and when a song I really didn't want to listen to then came on I…

Holy crap. Fill the second pill tray. My god. I'm sitting here stunned that I never thought of that. Holy cats. Grizzlyzone, you're my new favorite person on the internet. (I had a lung transplant 5+ years ago and I take a LOT of pills. Filling my tray every week is a drag. Every two weeks would be way better.)…

Pretty much :).

Means I'm alive. Of course I also have cystic fibrosis and had a bi-lateral lung transplant 5+ years ago. So...don't be like me is what I'm saying, in terms of snot color.

Well, to be fair, dogs are sorta dumb and just spend the whole time going "this tastes like chicken!!!!"

Honestly, we do it nightly because our dogs are so used to the routine that if we don't they just kind of sit on the end of the bed and stare at us. I'm sure we'd skip some nights otherwise :)
