Its dead accurate. Its also a toy. If you want to use it, I recommend the multipack, instead of just one, for when your doing multiple expensive steaks on the grill, or different types of meat on the grill. That said, it has been sitting in a drawer, since we don't cook much fussy food on the grill, and a regular…

Meatloaf had a habit of embellishing, or telling things that would not hold up under scrutiny.... that is his quote, not Elizabeth’s. Of course, she did pick the quote....😀

 I tend to surf some YouTube cooking channels, and pick out a recipe to modify to my dietary needs. I try to keep in mind prep, complexity and ease of getting ingredients, but sometimes I just want to eat a forbidden dish (I have gluten, soy and lactose issues), and go for it. I have not had disasters yet, but there…

Free them, and you will quickly find out the cooking equivalent to the missing 10 mm socket in the garage. Do not panic! Just order 10 to 50 of the one that went missing. Repeat as needed.

You can always heat up a pan, and bake off a drop of the mixture to taste. Works for a lot of raw hatched items, like meatballs too...

Would a divided pie pan work for your needs? Metal and glass...

I find the marketing somewhat hilarious, since I can’t eat 80% of the crap advertised  anyway. Turns out, you can ignore food ads of you have both gluten and soy allergies, most of the processed food advertised has one or both.

Lack of working BMW blinkers on the road.

Missed one.... Bulk 10mm sockets. Should last a week or two before they all go missing.

Amazon booked smaller TEU ships that can go to the other ports along the coast. The ones waiting 45 days are the big boys, who don’t have a choice for docks on the West Coast, and are stuck waiting at the overloaded docks. Some could transit the Panama Canal, but that increases operating costs by more than half a…

Torchy, if you are aiming to be the highbrow expert in cars, you have my vote. Now, go have an aesthetic conversation with Adam Savage on greeblies, and accepted usage pattern of greblies, and how it relates to automotive design... Maybe not, could make the internet explode.

Turducken should be banned. Not that the individual flavors are bad, just the thing cooks so long, it is dry as can be. I cooked one once, never repeated. Oh, and Jello salad with chunks of stuff can stay far away from me. 

Thanksgiving has been a low stress meal for a while now. Mostly just my household, and we stick with a stable menu, that can accommodate a few last minute guests. When I was younger and single, I used to do a turkey the weekend before or after with twenty guests. It was a chance to catch up with friends and have some…

Old roommate had a Ford Probe that had the front of the muffler drop in the freeway. For whatever reason, there were metal coat hangers in the car, so I got under the car to fix it. I used all the coat hangers to keep the muffler strapped in front to back, left to right. When my roommate scrapped up enough money to…

Just get airbags and slam it to the ground when you park it.

Microwaved Pupusa or burrito (In the oven if you want to get fancy), nachos. Leftover Dan Dan noodles topping with corn tortilla chips. Salsa and and chips. Leftover meatballs in a sandwich. Any dinner leftovers that can be sandwichfied, adding lunchmeat and BBQ sauce as needed.

Delivering Coca-Cola in Death Valley. Much improved after air conditioning was stand in the cab, IIRC. Driver still probably checks out a case of water for themselves for the two day trip when it is hot. Coca-Cola did a story on it for internal newsletter over a decade ago and the driver was smiling all though it.

None. Soups are scratch made in my house, mostly because of my food allergies. Somehow, finding canned soup that does not have wheat, soy, lactose, or too much salt costs 4 times regular soup. If it is not cross contaminated (I am looking at you Panera....).

Meh. The most I saw was about a quarter dumpster worth of blown dough after tossing a few trays worth of dough in a dumpster, while working at Dominos. Much funnier when a buddy took the old burnt out florescent long tubes and started throwing them in the dumpster at full force, telling “I am Zeus!” They made a great…

Well, I make lists. However, I am not the main shopper, so I am usually getting the two things we need, and filling out the list with what we will need. Since my wife and I don't cook a lot of each other recipes, I use the list to make sure I don't forget something she needs. For my recipes, I typically don't worry…
