I tend towards baking soda, dish soap, and a scrubby.

I am making elk for Christmas, and am now frantically curious about the logistics of smoking in -20c.

I always buy a ton of cranberries, and I always have grand plans for them. Inevitably, they end up eaten. I may try some self control and make that curd.

See: When a beloved anime director got caught with child porn, and the unreasonable amount of people who tried to brush it off as “He was framed! It’s not like he abused kids himself! 100 dvds isn’t that bad!”

If your friends know you’re vegetarian, and they don’t cook food you can eat, then your friends are jerks. That isn’t Claire’s fault.

Aww. That’s sweet.

I will partially agree, because doing different things together is what my best friend and I have always done. It’s awesome, and I miss it now that I’ve moved.

My mother in law thanks you.

Well that’s fair.

Sports bras. I made the switch a few years ago, and will never go back. Some of them are cute if you’re into that, but there’s no padding, no underwire, and they are so damn comfortable.

Got it in one.

TIL that haystacks are different to other people.

My mother in law gets cookies too. The woman is 70 and wants to move out of her house in a few years; stuff is the wrong way to go.

We very much are, because I thought you meant mixing, and was a little confused.

I might need to try that.

I have. It’s time consuming, but it gets done.

That is a level of fancy I doubt I will ever achieve. My dad makes some aces french fries though.

• What’s the most expensive piece of equipment in your kitchen? Has it made your life better? Probably my husband’s Very Expensive Knife. I can’t recall if it was 150$ or 300$, but in any case I do not use it. I use my 50$ santoku knife instead, and it is my favourite thing.
  

The sugar in sugar cookies are more of a main component, rather than an accent, if you will. They are also dead simple and a good introduction to baking.

I try not to.
