I’m a 52 year old retired physician. I cut back my red meat consumption 25 years ago.

The sad flipside to learning to cook decently is that I find myself saying that about restaurants I previously thought were pretty good. So now (well, before the pandemic) I try to go with places where I’ve never tried making the cuisine before. It’s made me a bit more adventurous I suppose. But realizing I could make…

Cracker barrel remains garbage food.  Adding more pseudo-southern dishes prepared poorly will not change that.

They did the chef dirty in the newest Muppets show.

I hover over and scold my dishes until they’re done. Like an overprotective parent. Who eats their child. Like that one Pixar short. Except I’m not an Asian woman.

We are eating squash and zukes for breakfast, lunch and dinner around here.

Fried Bologna is one of the great sandwiches.  

Never thought about this before but now I want Tom Waits to have a cooking channel.

I cleaned it just to take this picture. I had to remove a huge plank of ice that formed from all the water I had spilled (out of ice cube trays).

It’s my fault. in the 20+ years I’ve been living on my own I don’t think I’ve bought more than a gallon of milk in total. I stopped drinking it when I was 16 or 17 and don’t miss it.

“They’d rather put their money into products that will save the planet (like protein-based meat, for instance)“

A lot of religion is just socially acceptable mental illness.

I did a forty-piece puzzle in under two hours the other day. Very proud, since the box said ‘3-5 years’.

I’m going on the premise that this woman is having a mental health crisis, but that doesn’t mean a supermarket manager should be the one to have to deal with her.

well if they are sending these hoping to spread some invasive species, JOKES ON THEM:

Ah, yes, replying three times to the same comment! The surefire way to get people to take you seriously.

OK, I’m sorry, I started mixing the yogurt and garlic salt when the cumin and the paprika called my name. But I bet it’ll still be good!

I buy my groceries with my credit card anyway - but if I didn’t - I see no harm in letting Kroger keep my 37 cents until I get my groceries next week. (You DEFINITELY want to be signed up for their little savers program - otherwise you’re basically paying 30% more for your groceries already). 

This. I am so tired of the “this doesn’t solve the problem 100% so it’s useless” mentality people seem to have. There’s nothing wrong with 10,000 solutions that all chip away at the total.

I always stash any extra paper napkins. They’re only going to get thrown out otherwise. I started it when there were young kids in the family - you never knew when you’d need one for something! (And as Emily Litella reminds us, it’s always something.)
