I was on WOF back in 1985, when I was a college student. I had tried out for the college week episode that year, but while I didn’t get in then, I did qualify for the regular show. I used what was left over from my student loan for that semester to fly out to CA and spend a couple days there. During makeup for the…

Recipes I’ve seen have you boil the nuggets in an alkaline solution (2/3 cup baking soda in 10 cups water) for about 30 seconds, and letting them dry before forming them into the ring mold.

New Shimmer, for the greatest shine you ever tasted!

No, it makes it a donut.

Caught the pilot Pearl during her form changes, but what I want to see are the different Garnet reforms that she cycled through in “True Kinda Love”.

That explains so much...

I have a feeling those recipes were either written in the 70's, or written by chefs still in the 70's. The smallest chicken breast I can reliably find is in the 8 0z range, usually organic, and usually at Whole Foods-esque stores. The breasts at the local MegaLoMarts, Food ‘n Stuff, or Frugal Hoosiers tend to run up…

I was like you once. I absolutely refused to eat raw tomatoes, or any cooked tomato (stewed, diced) where the tomato flesh was still partially intact. My first garden I only grew Roma types for making sauce. Then I was introduced to pico de gallo. Now I can eat slices of home-grown tomatoes on sandwiches (and sometimes…

At my house it varies between “wait for squirrels to steal, sit on the fence, take one bite while staring at me or the house, then throw it into the neighbor’s yard”, and “wait for the raccoons to take bites of them right off the fruit on the vine, then leave poops in the middle of the lawn.”

I’d slice it thin and salt out the water (like when preparing eggplant for frying, or cucumbers for cucumber salads), after 15 minutes let it drain well, rinse the salt off a bit, and then microwave (quick) or a very low (250 degree F) oven (long time) to soften the squash. Don’t add any additional salt until you…

I have a Capital One credit card. I have not received any information about the breach. I did get messaged by Capital One on July 13th that I had suspicious activity on my card. Turns out I had 5 unauthorized transactions that I had cancelled, then closed my card and had a new one issued. (EDIT) I do not suspect this…

Not sure where you are located, but here in the Plains (SE Nebraska), they still have them, it is a Friday-only item.

So, this was a viewer’s choice episode?

Similar story, but replace SC with Kessler.

I know, the stores are filled with paczki here this time of year, but none have poppyseed (and I’ve looked).

Oh man, so many vegetables...

Back in the days when I ate Big Macs(tm), and they had the 2 for whatever specials, I’d eat one the normal way, but the second I’d eat layer by layer, first the top bun with sesame seeds, then the first patty and whatever condiments were on it, then the club (yeah I had to look that up, I was trying to remember what…

I’m not from Japan, but this is what I found (you piqued my curiosity on a slow day)

Cleaned my oven last weekend because I’m having a pot luck get-together this weekend. New gas stove, short self-cleaning cycle, then wipe out with a damp rag after it cooled. Still some residue on the glass window, but I don’t want to use an abrasive on it so I’ll leave it until after the get together. 

I had a co-worker who would read the obits just to see if her ex-husband was finally in them.
