My plan is to just work until I max out on what I can get.  But then, I worked with this lady was doing the same thing and she freakin’ died two months before her 70th birthday, so maybe not.  I’d be too afraid of dipping into my 401(k) because who the hell knows what they’re going to do to SS 10 years from now.  

I want this store on my block. I’m looking at this stuff thinking, yeah, I’d totally wear all of it. It’s not Anne Taylor because women with actual curves and thighs and stuff look decent in it. I want plain, simple stuff I without the gewgaws.  I can always add them if I want.

My favorite thing was always to cook in advance.  Like, if I knew I was smoking soon, I’d make a full meal in a roasting pan, like cornish game hens with roasted potatoes and onions.  Have ice cream in the fridge.  About when the munchies kicked in, the hens were ready and delicious.  The only danger was getting the…

Just wanted to say that I made this over the weekend and it was glorious.

This is making a tremendous amount of sense to me. Not regarding Pyrex, which I rarely use and is ancient so have had no issues, but with glass pot covers. I’ve always used glass. Never had a problem with it. Never even knew there were problems with it. Then I bought a 10 inch T-Fal nonstick saute pan and cover…

Bolognese sauce does not work particularly well on spaghetti (though I’ll still take it). Other than angel hair, I will eat it on practically anything. Homemade tagliatelle is always best, but honestly, I’m way too lazy. Where it particularly shines for me is on top of soft, hot, cheesy polenta, where it is God’s…

Oh my gosh, we’d be so broke sometimes that we’d live on nothing but store brand Bisquick pancakes for a week at a time. When my dad made them they were really heavy. Maybe a spread of butter or jam on top, but that was pretty rare. Also massive ramen, which to this day I love, and peanut butter sandwiches. Also rice…

The chainmail scrubber is the single greatest thing ever invented for cast iron.  But honestly, it’s great for so many other things.  And it rinses clean like a dream.  I’ve had mine for 3 or 4 years now.  Best $9 I ever spent.

Chain mail scrubber

I’m a little late to the party on this, but it is the best thing ever taught to me about dishwashing plastic containers that get oily inside from reheating food in them. Wash in cold water with dishsoap (I use Dawn, sorry.). I have no idea why this works, but the containers end up squeaky clean.  If you want, you can…

I use Dobbie’s for one week and then toss them.  Everything that chain mail can be used for is.  I’ve had the same piece for over 4 years, which I bought on Amazon for, like, $8.00.  And seriously, I use it on everything but nonstick pots and super delicate hand painted dishes.

This is going to sound weird, but even having been raised as a vegetarian, I’ve never in my very long life eaten a hot vegetable sandwich. Like, I’ve certainly used cooked vegetables in a sandwich, but they’ve never joined. And now I feel I must, because, seriously, how did I miss this? The possibilities are endless,…

I had zero problem calling it shady, at least among friends. WTF wears a noose around their neck 45 minutes after an attack? Wouldn’t that be the very first thing you’d take off? Seriously? I actually an almost perfect gut about such things. I knew the second I saw it that Tawana Brawley was false, same with Susan…

And a great big Fuck You to Jussie Smollett. And not just him. A great big Fuck You to every woman who has lied about a rape, every ethnicity who has lied about being attacked, every fake gay bashing. You make it so goddamned hard for people who actually do go through this shit. There’s enough of this stuff out there…

I was a pretty bold eater as a child. Loved kimchi, loved salty/spicy, etc.  what I absolutely could not abide though were condiments on my sandwich, especially mayo.  Everything dry.  Even my PB&J lacked the J.  I loved all of those things, but they could not touch a sandwich.  These days I slather on all sorts of…

I know, I’m kind of there with you.  I watched Regan, towards his last years as president and you could see it.  Love him or hate him, he didn’t dither, you know?  I was a pretty scary time.  I don’t want to see the same again.  Certainly not from someone I respected.

There’s no reason to continue such a trend. 

There are a couple of things.
I love hot sauce on my peanut butter, especially super hot indian chutneys.
When I’m at home, I always eat my salad with my fingers. No dressing. I pick up the lettuce, tomatoes, whatever, piece by piece, and dunk them in the accompanying dressing. On another salad note, if said salad is…

Nope.  His time has passed.  The man is 77 years old.  Sorry, but that’s just too fucking old.  You can be quick as heck, be one of the super rare people who don’t lose any brain function, but I’m not taking that risk.  Him running is just an awful idea.  

I have never understood the Rogan/Jones friendship. I kinda like Rogan’s podcast. There’s a great mix of people and I kinda want to know what people I don’t like feel about things. I think it’s important. That said, Alex Jones?!?! FFS, I lost respect. Oh, and that Jack Dorsey interview was bullshit. But then, you…
