I don’t think that’s a counter, as that’s a heck of a lot different than a traditional TG dinner.

If you have a $30k handbag, you should have enough money to blow off the loss of a $30k handbag. Suing over this is a bad look - you will get a lot of blowback about why you would own such an expensive purse by people on the internet, and you will also have the other people at the country club looking at you wondering…

I would normally agree, but have you tried the garlic butter steak sandwich? Holy crap that was good. I was dragged to an Arby’s for the first time in years, and now I may go back on my own a few times before that goes away.

Ooh! Me! Call on me!

These seems, oh, 30 years out of date. I know some people who believed it when the Seinfeld toy episode aired, but I don’t think there is a large cohort of people who believe that tryptophan in turkey actually puts someone to sleep.

Dude, the person who packaged up the gravy was “shitface”. It was not directed at you, at all. You are not offended that someone called you something, you are offended that the word shitface exists and you were exposed to it. Get over yourself.

If you’ve read the Disc World books, you know the Sam Vimes boots theory of socio-economic injustice. It’s about how a set of boots that he can afford costs $10. They have thin soles, and cheap stitching, and if you walk a lot, within a year they will be falling apart, and you have to spend another $10.

I had a friend who went to college for more than a decade, picking up degrees. He eventually left and got a job as a lawyer, making pretty good money. By this point, we were all in our early 30s. He offered pizza for us to move everything in his house. I laughed and told him to get movers, and we’ll all bring stuff to…

Paying for movers is absolutely worth it, but I would go one step further - pay for movers that will box up everything, too. When we moved to a new place, we got movers that did everything. As an example, they packed the dishes from the cabinets, noting which box came from which cabinet, then when we got to the new…

Absolutely. Even good gins have differences between them, and you can tell. I prefer Bombay Sapphire if I am mixing a drink, and I absolutely know if it is that or another top shelf brand. The variations in the botanicals can be huge. I would think that gin would be the liquor that one could tell the easiest that the…

The best use I have found for the Instant Pot is shredded meats. Just made some shredded pork carnitas in one, and I regularly make shredded chicken breasts. I pretty much never use a slow cooker, unless I am taking something to a pot luck and need to keep stuff warm.

Oh yeah, bacon. That’s a big use for ours, too, and it is very consistent. I still sometimes do the 200 degrees for hours on end in the oven, but that’s special occasion bacon.

I have the major gadgets that have become big recently - Instant Pot, sous vide circulator, air fryer - and the air fryer is the only one that has earned a permanent space on the counter (replacing the deep fryer that used to sit there.) I use it pretty close to daily. We use it to reheat a lot of things that would…

I have no idea what actually happened, but I’m as sure as can be that it is not as described in this article.

You can tell us the joke here, though, right?

I make meat pot pies (steak, bacon, elephant garlic, shallots, gravy) all the time, and I have to make this. My big question would be how well they would freeze. Pot pies tend to be a lot of work (maybe it’s just how I make them), so I like to make a bunch of them and freeze. The meat ones turn out really well - I’ve…

I find it interesting that the pie in the photo there has the lazy lattice. I doubt it would be noticeable if I was being served pie, as it would be hard to tell once cut, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a pie that had an actual woven lattice. That’s the reason, I think, that I did notice - when you talked about…

I’m going to disagree on having the right to borrow the car of the person I co-signed for whenever I want. I don’t get that right, I’m not co-signing the car, kiddo.

There has to be room for the “Backwards” episode of Red Dwarf. They land on a planet where time goes in reverse, but they are still going forward (mostly). Reverse bar fight, reverse beer drinking, and one unlucky cat needing to take a crap before they left. (26 minutes into the episode for Cat.)

I’m really starting to question whether any of this is true. I can buy the Iceland one - no more McDonald’s in the country, so they kept a burger. But for the guys who kept a quarter pounder since 1995:
