My husband is very addicted to nicotine. But he quit smoking 7 years ago which honestly turned him into a terrible human to be around. He uses nicotine mints to be a human (I call them his cranky pills) - from what we can tell, there’s little side effects to these mints. He also tried vaping but both of us were too…

I just took a rustic French cooking class the other month and the chefs biggest tip on caramelizing onions (aside from what you have suggested) is for your pan to be completely full of onion - it totally reduces the chances of crispy edges. So now I just use a smaller pan and more onions and it’s perfect every time (I…

You’re right about keeping sports - when my husband was in high school they took away drama class and rugby from him as punishment. So he quit. There was nothing left for him to want to continue. He’s a perfectly successful human, but still hates everything about school and teachers

My house is on a dead end road that ends at an attractive bay, and unfortunately is also a place where people like to have affairs (lots of used rubbers, and we’ve startled a few steamed up cars while walking the dog), shame-eat (lots of food containers) and I assume deal drugs. Those in the neighbourhood keep a bag…

Even when it’s been 12h since you last chopped up garlic and you’re showering in the morning and thinking about cinnamon rolls? Because my hands will still smell of garlic then :( It’s the best flavour in the world but I don’t like smelling of it once I’ve finished the meal, did the dishes and slept all night.

Through a series of personal connections I got my hands on some the KFC batter one time. Deep fried strips of moose steak with the first half. Did deep fried clams (fresh dug that day!) with the other. I still dream of it weekly. Make those friends. Batter everything with KFC - so worth it.

Even the Beck cover of Diamond Dogs? So good!

We’ve made a tradition of going for Thai on Feb 15th. Then maybe go buy cheap V-day chocolate. Oh, and tell each other we love each other every day. The KISS principle seems to work ;)

Dang! I know how good I have it, and I still have trouble overcoming that existential dread that likes to come creeping in. The difference now from all that horrific shit that happened in the past is that humans didn’t have the access to information and tools like we do now. Would the women of the past had as many…

You’re right - it isn’t dying, but one also can’t deny that with rising water there’s going to be less land for humans to live on. And with permafrost melting there’s diseases appearing. And we’re entering an age where the resources that people need to live aren’t where they used to be, so refugees of climate change…

Of the times I’ve been made uncomfortable with men, I didn’t feel like I could do much (I was younger and dumber, just like anyone else). When you’re raised with a “life’s tough and you gotta suck it up” attitude (for all things, not sex) and are in a situation you’ve never dealt with before, there aren’t the tools in…

Honestly, there wasn’t really enough female talent to fill out the full 30, and the women they brought back were so obviously excited to be making history there with the current roster that it made my heart grow many sizes. Plus, Rumbles are known for surprise veteran entrants - it was all done very well! (Seriously…

Currently using ‘Hey Doogal’ for my home mini, works great and is somehow more satisfying to say than ‘Hey Google’ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

So far the only way I’ve found that avocado can be warm and go in my belly is when it’s in a grilled cheese with tomato. Any other way can suck it.

Cole is involved in production? Is he more talented than I give him credit for? (I despise him. His face, the sound of his voice...just strikes me as a brown-nosing asshat. My favorite Michael Cole moment was when Brock F-5'd him and he lost his shoe.)

I know what you mean!! And the protagonist had to stop dating the guy because she felt she could never ultimately get along with someone who names their baby Linda (or was it Carol)!! Oh jeeze what show was it!? Kimmy Schmidt?

If you cook it at a lower temperature you have time to hop in the shower and come out to a lovely breakfast. This weekend’s frittata was potato, mushroom and asparagus (roasted beforehand). Past popular experiments include candied salmon and spinach (holy shitballs) and tomato/kale which was bangin’ too. Fuck yeah,…

I’ve been experimenting with L-theanine for about a year now. When my brain isn’t at it’s best, but also isn’t so bad to need a clonazepam, that’s what I take to refocus my attention on what needs doing. I’ve been wary of the placebo effect, but I’ve been happy enough with these that I always keep some on hand. No…

Haha yep! So famous that the tag can be found in other worlds than these ;)

Completely unrelated: Holy shit I love your handle. Just reading it put me in a time machine to my younger self and the shock I had at seeing what he looked like without a hat for the first time.
