My house has a second floor terrace that is probably 350 sqft. My wife LOVES to dine there, and so she makes me drag all the damn food and drinks up there whenever the weather is warm.

Outdoor dining?
I love...
...to HATE IT!

Kid can’t stop himself from putting curry in everything.

Outside of my husband and our kids I’m usually the only white person there. I live in Southwest Baltimore and most of my friends are black. I’ve got an unofficially adopted 20-year-old black “nephew” that lives with us, too! And you don’t want him making the potato salad. Kid can’t stop himself from putting curry in…

One of the greatest feathers in my cap: I get asked to make the potato salad for my friends’ cookouts and our block party. 

I wonder how many people who say they hate mayonnaise grew up being fed things slathered in Miracle Whip.

I don’t know if this necessarily means people are consuming more mayo so much as people are consuming more mayo at home (and thus buying more Hellmann’s). Restaurants that serve sandwiches typically use a shit ton of mayo, but they often either use cheaper brands at shittier restaurants or make their own at nicer…

We wound up buying Duke’s on our first delivery grocery order of the pandemic, because Hellman’s was all out.  We’ll NEVER go back - Duke’s is nearly as good as homemade, and it’s head and shoulders above Hellman’s.  I can see why the south swears by it!

I’d like a single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man’s hat.

I tend to go the other way. Which is why my kitchen has things like a hammer, putty knives, and a propane torch.

But has science determined how many sandwiches a person can eat?

My old dog was a fanatic about tomatoes. If he heard the rustle of a plastic produce bag, he’d run into the room to check on the contents. If it was tomatoes, he would sit on my feet and drool down my leg until I gave him some. The tomato would have to be gone before he’d stop begging - putting it away wouldn’t cut it.…

My cat really like melon for some reason. And he thinks he likes strawberries, but he does not.

Yeah, Marcy Playground had a whole song about this or something.

Kinja is like Chicago weather. Don’t like it? Wait a week! (it’ll prob be worse, but it’ll at least be some kind of different).

Ok I think I’m done with takeout, giz, etc. The ad thing is out of control, and the comments load like old men pissing. And I’m not going to root my phone just to install an ad blocker. I had to close 3 ads full screen ads just to check my notifications. Also, trying to edit a comment in Kinja is torture.

Ever had that “discussion”? It’s easier on the relationship to hide the snacks.

I’m fat and I resent exercise as a discrete activity. I pretty much only walk if I am accomplishing an errand or task; I really hate just having to go do exercise. Very often the errand or task involves food, such as going out to pick up takeout, or going to the supermarket.

I assume it has something to do with the flavors and dyes used in the manufacturing process. My theory is as follows:

I have also noticed the grape ones are very sparse compared to other flavors. But now I don’t eat fruit snacks because I’ve cut added sugar out of my diet. Trying to lose weight during a pandemic is just unspeakably awful. I miss fruit snacks.
