While you’re at it, if you’re into rock at all, get into Poets of the Fall, a Finnish band that features heavily on Remedy games due to their friendship with Sam Lake - Max Payne, Alan Wake (as Old Gods of Asgard), and they can be heard in Control as well.

Because eggshell shards submerged in uncooked eggs do not like to be picked up that way at ALL.

I’m in the US, so ping-ponging is a little more complicated/expensive. Had to scuttle three domestic trips so far, including one to Monument Valley. fnergh.

The first time I had an edible, I had half a square. An hour later, I said to my friend, “I ain’t feeling a thing.” I ate the other half of the square. About forty minutes into the concert, the music and the words stopped syncing up. I was very confused by this for a couple of minutes, then noticed the very familiar…

Prague is on my list of “someday soon” stops, but Budapest was super cheap too. I’ve been torturing myself looking at cheap airfare to Berlin on Google Flights and hoping things calm down enough to risk a trip to see some Christmas markets, since I already had to scuttle last year’s plans...

It’s more like pastry than cake, with just enough gluten to stretch as you try to gnaw off a piece and keep the flakes and sugar off your shirt. 

When I first arrived in Budapest a couple summers ago, my AirB&B hostess took me on a tour from the basilica to one of the ruin pubs. After passing a few corners, I finally stopped and said “What is that intoxicating vanilla scent?” and she pointed out a chimney cake vendor. To this day, when I think of Budapest, I…

The one downside I run into when selling lasers is that the footprint is a little bigger than a lot of people like. Brothers don’t weigh a whole lot, but they’re still a pretty chonky square. HP makes smaller machines, but they often have flappy paper trays that have to be on a perfectly level surface or they don’t…

Been in retail for 20 years and I strongly second the Brother laser recommendation. While I’m not a fan of their inkjets, their lasers have been rock-solid with very few issues that aren’t user error. The cost per page is ridiculously low, too, especially if you’re an infrequent printer like I am, because the…

I used up all my GAP credit/cash/coupons last week, just in case.

While I have never had *fried* pickled red onions, I had plain pickled red onions on some kind of chicken sandwich from Panera in the last couple months and they were shockingly tasty, and I am down to try the fried variety! (also, I would make the cilantro ranh spiy (apparently that letter has randomly stopped…

Is it worse than cracking an egg from the farmers market that’s been sitting on your counter for a few weeks in summer with no AC and discovering that it’s rotten?

(serious question!)

I can make lazy white girl sort of curried lentils - set a pot of green lentils on the stove for a couple hours, and unfortunately I’m not sure if I ever wrote down the recipe and if I did it’s in a box I haven’t unpacked, but it involved a saucepan with a stick or two of butter (or ghee if I have it on hand), fresh…

“No drugs were found at her apartment.” 

I figured it was probably something like that.

I was kinda hoping for somebody to say “Oh, btw, you have a brother.” That seems like a huge chunk of the original that they left off the table.

I accidentally bought Sprite with Ginger instead of ginger ale one day. Shrugged, poured some spiced rum in it, and it was much tastier than I expected!

Pretty much on point, although it also led to Jamie and Ian clobbering Roger, giving him to the Mohawks, and Ian trading his life for Roger’s once they realized there was another man involved, which is not obvious plot fuel, but it’s very smut-novelly in how it transpired.

Old-school fan from 96 and generally a Gabaldon apologist, and I’M tired of the rape. It had its narrative uses at the start, but by the time we got to Bonnet, I was over it.

The show leaves out all the nuance and backstory as usual, but Wendigo was indeed one of the Indians, part of a group along with Otter-Tooth (the skull Claire found with silver fillings in its teeth) that planned to go back in time and convince the tribes to fight/destroy the white colonists. But they a. didn’t go far…
