Well, you might not find out the finer details like "got arrested for peeing in an alley 4 years ago, or 9 years ago they got a bit drunk and loud." You'll see X scary-sounding charge and, unless you go access the actual court records (and that includes reviewing the audible component of the trial record, if a trial…

But it helps you avoid people who use "u" instead of "you" in 2014.

Back in my day (2008?) we just had sex with people to get a sense of whether or not they were worth going on a date with.

You know, that's funny, because if my mom hadn't had an abortion when she was much younger, then my sisters and I would not be here. She would not be married to a great man and father, and I would not be alive. My nephew would not exist. Instead, my mom would have been a single mother, struggling to provide for her…

Oh, go fuck off. You only came here to troll, you're not actually looking for a debate. You're not going to change anyone's minds.

Um, an embryo or a fetus is not a child, you simple person...

But LOVE, cindykated! LOVE!

Re the Wire: It is sad because of how he changes, but just enjoy the ride. Nothing like watching The Wire for the first time.

I was laughing until I got to "micro-aggressions". They've co-opted that word now, too?!

Check out the fish "en papillote" recipes. I also am scared to cook fish but the recipes where you wrap the fish in parchment paper and stick it in the oven are fool proof! Also, I find that Williams Sonoma recipes are really reliably good so take a look at their website.

Follow any old fish recipe, but fold it up in parchment when you bake it and it always turns out next level better-than-perfect. It's remarkable.

Thanks for asking these questions. There are great ideas on this thread. I see a lot of salmon in my future.

This is the easiest thing ever: http://www.marthastewart.com/341207/salmon-… and it is ALWAYS a hit.

Here you go. This comes out beautifully for me every time. Hard to fuck up. Thank me later.

Put whatever kind of fish you want in parchment paper with some sliced veggies (onions and peppers are nice, but whatever you want) and a tiny bit of salt and pepper. It steams the fish and the veggies together and tastes delicious, and it's pretty simple — there are plenty of recipes for doing so.

Fess up. Tell the in-law who is the better cook "I have never cooked fish! Can you show me how?" It might be a fun bonding experiment.

Spaghetti, pesto and shrimp. Grilled vegetables (red peppers, sweet onion, zucchini, eggplant) are always a big hit too, it you have a grill.

Yes! If you can get your hands on a couple of decent tomatoes, slice them and put them in a single layer in a 13" x 9" glass baking pan. (Coat the pan lightly with cooking spray first.) Put your fish fillets on top of the tomatoes. Any firm white fish will do - flounder, halibut, tilapia, etc, whatever you/they like…

for this many adults I wld do 2 lbs of salmon fillets baked with drizzled honey ( you could grill or pan fry too- add more honey for tha pan fry) served with a relish made of half a finely chopped red onion, 1 or 2 avocados, 1 big heirloom tomato or halve a bunch of grape tomatoes, mixed with a cilantro to taste ( I…

And a trick if you fuck up the fish and it falls apart: flake it up, add some herbs, lemon juice or wine, and a blob of butter, and toss it into some cooked linguine. I'm telling you, it looks and tastes like you know what you're doing, even if you don't.
