I’m a recovering addict, I know tons of people can enjoy drugs, gambling, women and alcohol in a responsible way but am not that fortunate. The first inclination that I had a problem was the anxiety I’d get before lent every year when I’d give up my vices. If a person is feeling that big of a loss at the prospect of… Read more

Why wouldn’t you celebrate an actual war criminal taking office! Say what you want about Obama/Biden but they sure knew how to kill brown children.

How about we start a new challenge for 2021? “No Challenge Year”, where we challenge ourselves to stop, for a full year, trying to turn every month, week and day into some stupid challenge and just go about living our lives for the first time in decades.

Bacon popcorn, making bacon popcorn

Claire, I....I think I love you. Read more

The very thought of bacon popcorn makes my nipples hard

I will have to try this. Do you prep them the same way?

I saw similar advice on ATK and loved the results after I tried it. After cooking them with the baking soda, a few additional rinses in a cool water bath helped get remaining skins off. They just float to the top!

Or you can buy a bag of channa dal from an Indian market, which are already split and hulled.

Personnally i like the smell of garlic, so it’s not a problem for me.

I just rub my hands on the side of my stainless steel kitchen sink. It works quite well.

When I was a kid, my brother used to drink the liquid out of his Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, put the noodles on bread and eat it.

Thanks, Claire! I never cease to be amazed at the variety of dishes that this thing can make!

Some time back I read about some hipster eatery serving ramen burritos. It amazed me that young people were spending good money for something that I used to eat, crying at my lack of self control and good taste, standing over the kitchen sink in my underwear.

Tasted good though.
