That’s just a sign of a shitty bartender. I’ve spent more time than I care to consider in bars of all sorts, and I’ve never once had a bartender treat serving customers like they were working the deli case at a grocery store.

I enjoy watching people at a bar try and fail to get a bartender’s attention by doing exactly the wrong things. I think my favorite is people who will clink the bottom of their empty glass on the bar top. I can see the hackles rise on the bartender’s neck when it happens, then I laugh to myself knowing the clinker’s…

Serious Eats is always your friend when you want to try something you never have before. This is a very quick and basic red sauce:

Use ham. Problem solved.

Monkey dishes, those little bowls that often come with dinnerware sets, should work.

Cucumber and cream cheese on toasted bread sandwiches. Now I need about 7 of these.

You missed:

Fuuuuuuuck you. Seriously, fuck yourself.

This upcoming weekend finds me away with my partner and will feature a whole mess of trash eating. These are now added to my menu. Curious as to how they’ll go with queso fundido.

Hate when serving size isn’t listed. I made some really awesome cookies over the weekend, a thing I don’t do much, so I had to taste test each batch. Decided to look at the nutritional info for the recipe and it said “289 calories.” Is that per cookie, or what??? I had eaten 3 by this point and was kind of scared.

What are these Extra Toasty Cheez-Its you speak of? I’m not much of a Cheez-It fan, but I’m a sucker for nearly anything that boasts of extra toastiness.

You’re not sure if you believe in one of the five defined basic tastes? That’s a hot take.

Had to look up what a Zion Curtain was. How fucking weird. Looks like they are no longer a thing since 2017.

Depending on what part of the state you’re in, many grocery stores now sell beer and wine in one specific area of the store. Something like a Giant or Wegman’s will sell beer. Certain larger-scale “convenience” stores like Sheetz also now sell beer. You’ll have to show ID, so make sure you’re current. Cases you have…

I was in my mid-30s when I learned about this. A friend of mine was asking how to keep chicken breasts from drying out, and I said, “doing this or that will keep it moist.” and I thought she was going to sprint out of the room by the look on her face. Until that day, I never knew it was a thing.

That’s when it usually happens to me, if it does at all. When it does, it’s because I got too aggressive with the toppings near the edge. I just jam it all back inside and keep on truckin’.

I actually throw passes with a mini nerf football. The recliner is my #1 receiver, and it’s not even close.

I’ve often wondered the same thing. I haven’t been interested enough to do any research, but wiring would seem necessary to heat the water and/or to pump it at the starfish with enough pressure to do any good work, yeah? I can’t imagine the water pressure in my place having enough oomph to leave me feeling properly…

If the toppings aren’t cooked into the egg, they try to make a run for it if there’s not enough cheese to lock them down. I know what the dude was talking about, but this isn’t really worth the fret. As you noted, just dump that shit out onto the plate.
