Agreed. Banana smell is pungent, too. 

As a born-and-raised Texan who lived there for 30 years, I can’t think of anything to say other than that I fucking hate Dan Patrick more and more every time he speaks. He’s just the stupidest motherfucker. He makes Greg Abbott look enlightened.

My favorite magical property of ACV is that it tastes good in some foods. Just used it in BBQ sauce today, actually.

Drinking salty stock probably doesn’t help the puffiness.

The only thing that cured my tonsil stones was getting the tonsils removed. I got chronic ones after having mono in my late teens.

A lot of people (and brands) think homeopathic means any kind of natural remedy, when it actually means the very specific thing you described.

One of my local school board members was wearing that hat on social media the other day. That might even be his pic in the header, but I can’t see his face, of course. He’s a very impressive (and very young!) guy and a great leader, but the hat made me cringe a little.

I subscribe to The Root in my RSS and could only see all but the last 2 words of the headline. I thought “please don’t say ‘is reinstated.” Ugh, of course. Baby Jesus wept.

I was elementary school age when it was on, but I found it kind of unsettling and gross. My dad loved it, so we always watched it along with the more kid-centric Nickelodeon morning cartoons.

Typically in public housing, garden buildings were actually nicer than high-rises. A lot of them were built specifically because they felt more homey and people felt like they had more of their own space than in the towers. Leave it to Alabama to find a way to make the opposite racist...

Cones rule everything around me. Ice C.R.E.A.M. for some money, three dollar bills, y’all.*

I just got a waffle iron. I highly recommend anyone wanting some fun with tofu try waffling it. Especially if you have kids! You can do it with cubes or slabs. Just marinate it first. Bread it or don’t. It comes out really crispy with minimal oil.

Some stores have super firm tofu (firmer than extra firm), which is usually shrink wrapped instead of in the plastic container. You don’t need to squeeze as much water out of it. It is very dense, though, and I’ve found for frying I prefer a regular firm tofu so it has a creamy inside with a crunchy outside.

I do this but also include an acid element like rice vinegar or citrus juice to really get in there. 

I coat tofu in a thick marinade/thin paste of soy sauce/tamari, rice wine and/or ume plum vinegar, tapioca starch, whatever spices I feel like, and onion and garlic powder. Cornstarch would work, too. Then I let it hang in the fridge for a while. It’s sticky enough to bread the tofu without any egg replacement.

I hope everyone she works with talks crazy shit about her and Ben all the time. Who marries and breeds with that troll? Grossss.

There are uneducated people who are still smart and educated people who are still stupid as hell. Somehow those types prefer the latter...

Listen, y’all just go to hell with your fancy booklearnin, spellin, and knowing how years work nonsense!

Also, the origin of the expression “built like a brick shithouse,” which was The Commodores are referring to in the song “Brick House.”

Same. Seems like a good show. Too bad I refuse to sign up for Quibi.
