i can hear my mother in my head getting all snarky at me when i couldn’t find something in the fridge, saying ‘you might have to move something!’ 

i commented about this on the sad meal thread, but, oh my lord how much it sucked to live with four people in one house- the homeowner, my husband and myself, and the homeowner’s friend- one of whom was a food klepto. the homeowner didn’t make any of her own food, in all honesty she didn’t eat much unless i gave her…

i laughed way too hard at that typo/autocorrect, not gonna lie.

there are a few that come to mind, but i guess the saddest would be what my now ex-husband and i called birthaversary, or my birthday and our anniversary, which happened one right after the other respectively. my favorite thing was feeding him as he weighed 150 pounds soaking wet when we met, despite being 6'3", so i…

well, that’s quite rich. the company tasked with keeping intruders out has infiltrated the fortune cookie and taken away our feelings of security. rude, ADT. hilarious in a way, but rude.

once i discovered the bags of pre-peeled garlic in the fresh herb section of my local grocery store, it was a game-changer. you can buy tubs of pre-peeled, but they also have bags full of smaller bags, vacuum-sealed, each with maybe 15-20 cloves in it. i love it because i can open the sealed pouches as i go without…

my mom has had one of these things for probably 20 years now and she loves it. if i’m cooking with her, i love it. it’s so simple but it works wonderfully.

you speak as though cold chicken is a bad thing. 

i support you on this. cold mac and cheese is like wallpaper paste and it is horrid.

okay, now that sounds delightful.

ooph. i’m a delivery driver on my off hours from my office job, and while there are some restaurants that are always happy to see me (i tend to pick up a lot from places that are close to my apartment), there are others who i know are cursing me as soon as i leave. i get that they’re losing in-house business and…

i am definitely on board with eating meatloaf cold, especially as it pertains to sandwiches. but mac and cheese....eugh. no. then again i find cold pasta in nearly any form truly repulsive, except for spaghetti and meat sauce. that is the only one that’s not horrific when cold. otherwise it’s gluey, gummy and gnarly.…

i had to go with kevin on this one, not just because his picks were the most solid (sorry y’all, i just can’t hang with and/or do not prefer cheez-its, funyons, popcorn, honey-mustard pretzels, or peanuts) but bc of the lovingly nostalgic mention of pizzeria combos and the genius of zapp’s voodoo chips. those two…

i seriously feel vindicated about my love of combos as well, including the pizza flavor and the eating the pretzel bit and saving the filling for last tactic. as for voodoo chips, they are quite delightful. they’re kind of like a bbq chip (of which i am generally not a fan) but a bit tangier with some spice and a…

i agree in general about the demographics who get subjected to testing being marginalized (don’t even get me started on the whole ‘let’s drug test anybody receiving any kind of public assitance’ bullshit), but there is definitely drug testing happening for plenty of white collar jobs. my ex-husband worked for a very…

sweet crap, after having to spend an overlong lunch filing paperwork at court and paying twice more than expected, and not having time to even get lunch and henceforth existing on sad store brand knock-off oreos for the rest of the afternoon, this story definitely helped. 

*hurk*

i like mayo, but just thinking about that is going to make me hurl. 

both have their uses (as some have mentioned, garlic powder is fantastic for dry rubs and spice mixes in general, and i dare anyone to make chicken with 40 cloves without actual garlic), but the truth of the matter is that few things on this earth smell better than sauteing garlic in olive oil and/or butter. there may…

their ‘gourmet makes’ videos are amazing. i honestly can just put that on in the background and it’s delightful and soothing and just overall pleasant. i will never in my life try to make any of claire’s zillion-step recipes for gourmet at-home skittles or cheetos but damned if it isn’t entertaining.
