If anyone else is thinking about using these on their big screen TVs as art, you may be as disappointed as I was to discover that the images constantly wander around by a few pixels (is this intended to be a screensaver in the games?) making them rather unpleasant to watch. Also, if you download them you’ll find that…

Jammy pie filling sounds good to me!

Depends on which deserted island you’re stuck on.

Penzeys Spices sells a pre-mixed za’atar (not cheap...), and also has ground sumac berries.

But what if you don’t give a damn what anyone else thinks, even if it’s a voice inside your head?

And peanut butter is often forbidden on flights now because someone’s precious little one might have an allergy.

Katie & I will never again need to go to a fondue restaurant! Melty cheese for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Hooray!

This tried-and-true method is quick—and kinda sexy.

Yup. Using ping pong balls seems like a lot of extra mess. What are you going to do with a pile of wet balls?

Bisquick.

I have some ice cream base sitting in my fridge waiting for inspiration, and now I know just what to do with it. Katie’s going to be happy tonight!

Fall on your staff, cur!

A day without garlic is a day with fewer friends lost.

I’ve long eaten the shells even on steamed shrimp. I started doing it to freak out my wimpy dining companions, but decided I liked it (nice flavor!) and kept it up even when eating alone.

Just added this post to the sparse but crucial “Reference” folder in my Bookmarks Bar. Thank you!

If you keep your Anova clean, perhaps you could use it to directly heat the water for coffee rather than using bags.

Yup. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you eat pork chops, then you’re doing yourself a 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 disfavor if you don’t use sous vide (and get a torch to brown them). It would be worth buying a circulator just for occasional chops. When I first bought my Anova, Katie grumbled about the purchase…

My first wife, and everything associated with her. Oh, the second and third too. The fourth is, however, a gem herself (and after 17 years is still growing more lustrous :-).

Lifehacker’s biggest regret should be their web software. I just clicked on the star for your comments (which had 4 at the time), and a popup said that I’d recommended a post. However, the count dropped by 1, to 3. Out of curiosity, I clicked it again and the same thing happened, dropping the count to 2. I got it all…
