I think for the first couple months I could only bring myself to use an emery board on my daughter. After that I would put a video on my phone and let her watch that while I clipped with that Piyo Piyo set. Generally we were pretty determined to not allow screen time when she was an infant but I made an exception for…

I would happily eat spiralized zucchini, and all the spaghetti squash. Like, don’t get me wrong, pasta is DELICIOUS, but so are vegetables, and if you want to give me delicious saucy roasted squashes, I will make no complaints.

I do that too for hamburgers. You can barely tell the difference. I switch out for beef because beef is not very good for you in everyday doses and I get enough iron in my diet from other dishes. 

I prefer cauliflower “rice” over actual rice most of the time (I still use rice or quinoa depending on the dish, like stir fry, for example), but mine isn’t exactly a “healthy” replacement since it make it with approximately 37 lbs of butter and Parmesan.

Mashed cauliflower is pretty good, for certain. I don’t even consider it a substitution anymore, just an alternative.

I started subbing ground turkey for ground beef in my pasta and chili dishes and I don’t really miss beef. Turkey is leaner and just as tasty.

Team Cauliflower Rice over here. I make it as a side for most things and have found I MUCH prefer a veggie side over a starch. If it’s a rice-centric dish, like fried rice, I’ll clearly go for the real thing, but if it’s just a side, cauli rice every time. I feel much less bloat-y full, and much more satiated.

Mine do not. That would have cost me an additional $3000 when I got these. The upside is that the technology changes so fast that my fancy cutting-edge hearing aids I got 5-ish years ago are incredibly obsolete, so most of the functionality I couldn’t afford back then is likely within my price range now. Since my…

This app has been around for a while now. While I usually forget about it when out and about, I have used it recently while at home as a way to watch and hear the TV while my wife is sleeping or doing work on the computer in our room (similar to how you can use headphones with the Roku for “private listening”). For…

If I were near an ATM machine I could more than double the money in my wallet in less than a minute. It would still be my money. Just more of it in my wallet.

You could be with your friends in a loud bar watching a game and have one ear piece in for important calls

Or for day drinking in a bar with no sound and watching Sally Jessy

Hey Dad/grandpa, this isn’t the (pick your decade), we can’t wash dishes part time and go to college. We can’t afford to have a single income family like you did. We sure as hell can’t afford to buy a house for our kids even with 2 college educated adults salaries. You mucked up the economy by going to war in 2001,…

Shouldn’t SOMEONE have a record of all of this?

Everything has changed, man. There are no latch-key kids anymore, at least not legally. Which is unfortunate, considering the way childcare costs burden working class and middle class families.

I once had a woman loudly request a new table because our party had my son in it, who was five at the time (and hadn’t made a peep yet). “I would prefer to be seated in a section with NO CHILDREN since SOME PEOPLE have no idea where CHILDREN are appropriate.”

Not in the great state of Wisconsin. Kids under 21 are allowed in bar with their parents because the state is a bunch of drunks.

I feel like the follow-up questions here are “how well-lit is it?” and “what is the decor like.”

Really struggling to accept this as good advice. Instinct and experience are both telling me that the best mashed potatoes result from driving as much water as possible out the potato (preferably by baking or roasting in woodsmoke), then replacing what’s been lost with butter and creme fraiche. I get the idea of an…

Let them order pizza. That way you can find out whether they like pineapple so you have an excuse to leave them on a stranger’s porch.

I’ll let them order pizza but the second they order a hawaiian pizza its off to the adoption agency with them.
