Minced mushrooms are my secret for making fake meat meatier. Heck, they also make real meat meatier! I sauté the mushrooms first until reduced by about half and then add the protein and proceed as normal.

I was about to complain that this seemed like a waste of good milk and butter, but the cooking liquid would be great in a bread dough and all you’d need to add is flour. I’m thinking a 2:1 white flour to corn flour mixture would make tender and sweet flatbreads.

College students reading this: When in doubt, go talk to your Registrar’s Office. This applies during the age of COVID or in regular times.

If you’re waking up consistently at around the same time I would guess there’s an external cause. Could be anything from your freezer’s auto-defrost cycle to a newspaper being thrown at your front step (do people still get papers?). If you’re alert enough when you wake up, listen for any weird sounds in the…

Just my 2 cents, but if you have insomnia issues I’d recommend seeing a mental health professional. I dealt with regular bouts of insomnia for most of my life and various treatments would occasionally work, but mostly I just had to bull through the insomnia until it subsided on its own. A few years ago I finally saw a…

I like this idea. Much better than my “move across the country based on a less than 24-hour visit” during which I saw exactly none of the city.

I feel the same way. The only thing I categorize in my budget are debt payments and money transferred to savings. The rest is just one big bucket of funds that can be spent any which way.

“As we have consistently said, consolidation could make sense in our industry...”

My proposed qualification for the case of robbery was not meant to be exhaustive and I’m not going to engage with your example of the “wealthy” robber. The severity of the transgression is the actual issue at hand. As you said, hate crimes are never justifiable.

Your examples are not equivalent because they represent significantly different breaks with cultural norms. Someone who has robbed a store (assuming the intent was purely financial and the outcome did not involve bodily harm) has transgressed a societal norm, however, it can be rationalized as the outcome of a dysfunct…

I’m not saying that I’m ordering one right now...but I’m not not saying that I’m sipping my friday cocktail giggling maniacally while looking for my credit card.

Legit, the big city is expensive. But once I’m not sending 50% of my paycheck to cc debt, I’ll be doing pretty fantastic.

I’m torn on this advice.

My sleep habits have also fallen off the deep end. Last week it included long after work naps, but this week I’ve exchanged them for even more video game time.

Better option: Ikea’s milk frother. Costs $3 and makes frothy and perfectly mixed chocolate milk.

Thanks for the validation about what constitutes a normal amount of butter. My frozen butter stock is at their lowest point ever and it’s giving me way too much anxiety.

This! I spent most of my teens and early 20s with undiagnosed bulimia. It never occurred to me that as a male I could be dealing with an eating disorder, and my doctor at the time just thought I had a reflux issue. It wasn’t until I started working with a therapist on my anxiety that we pieced it all together.

I love matzah for the 8 days that I’m required to eat it and then I don’t want to see it in my kitchen until the next year.

Thank you for the reminder. I try to log in and feed my Neopets at least every other year. My beloved Mophead36 (which is obviously a JubJub) is very happy to see me.

I love hamantaschen and will defend the ones made by my temple’s Sisterhood to the death. If I’ve been a good son this year my mother will ship me a dozen or two if I ask nicely (as one of the bakers, she tends to hate them by the end of the baking spree).
