well that was too damn easy.

Are those pics of Seattle because Seattle loves to pull this shit.

FYI, a Breville stand mixer is cheaper than a kitchenaid (for watts - Breville has 550 to kitchenaid’s 275 for the lift-head model) and comes with a scraper beater. The only thing the Breville doesn’t have is the ability to do attachments (but really, what can you do with 275 watt attachments?) So if that’s your…

Look up Leptin Resistance. There have been many studies regarding this, and it makes sense to me. Since the fat cells release the leptin, your brain is getting so bombarded with the information that it begins to ignore it. I have read many many articles on advice on how to combat this issue because they’re right -…

Considering my SSN was probably stolen, I would pay for identity theft monitoring (and resolution - the most important part) not just “credit monitoring”.

First cookbook? Probably Alton Brown. Favorite cookbook? Alton Brown. Weirdest cookbook? Alton Brown lol. Seriously, that guy is a genius. Insert title names, it doesn’t matter which book. Although I thoroughly enjoy his Good Eats cookbook series; I learn SO MUCH. And actually, I really loved Feasting on Asphalt; it…

I mean, of *course* I love cake and cookies and all the delicious things. But I have a horrible lack of self control (especially when it’s sitting in the break room at work). My “eat in moderation” includes 3 slices of cake, or 4-6 cookies, but only once a month or something. it’s horrible. Anyway, like I said, I’ve…

“The unsaturated fats in canola oil provide health benefits, but they’re made from long chains of carbon. Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides, which might make it healthier than its fat profile indicates. Medium-chain triglycerides are more easily digested and provide a quick source of energy.” 

Well yes, self-rising flour is a thing. I’m not sure how “popular” it is here... lets say that it’s not the most prominent find on most grocery shelves. But I say that because anybody who bakes more than 1 cake a year would not want self-rising flour because you can not manipulate the individual components, which any…

That’s my problem: willpower and reasonable servings. Here’s what I have learned: when you don’t know what something tastes like before you try it, never try it. Example: I grew up on fat free jello pudding. For all of my child years I have never had regular pudding. And I grew up liking the taste of it, and actually…

i’ll switch out the canola oil for coconut oil to make myself feel better. and replace some of the sugar with xylitol and/or splenda because I try to ruin every recipe by making things healthier. I should probably add flax too.

self-rising flour? What self respecting baker has self-rising flour?!

We should get free TrustedID for the remainder of our lives, just for the simple fact that they could sit on our info for a very long time before they use it - and it would make sense that they would because every know full well that most people are scrambling to fraud, freeze, or at least sign up for monitoring…

That one show that talks about people who eat dirt and ice. Plus other weird things like clay. That one is an actual disorder I think.

that’s weird, I thought I had read that they were given shots. Oh well. This was a few years ago, 3-5 I think. i just remember reading about it, and how effective it was against patients with extremely severe peanut allergies, and then the study dropped off the face of the planet like “oh, we have a way for these…

Has the prep really been updated since 2012? Back then, I had my choice of Moviprep (2 liters) for $100, or Go Lightly (Peg 3550, 4 liters) for $10. I hated it. HATED it. It tasted nasty, I could barely drink it down even with crystal light. And then the next morning (I split it), I felt like I had a nasty hangover…

I, 100%, believe in this strategy. They’ve already had other successful tests using peanut shots, I believe (not of actual peanuts I’m assuming), and it has been tested with animals as well as pollen allergies (aka honey); that introducing a minuscule amount and building up immunity is an effective way to go. I think…

club soda is acidic? That’s perfect for my blueberry bush!! Thanks Lifehacker :D

and then, after starbucks comes out with “well, we’ll put actual pumpkin in your latte” and everyone goes “eww! This doesn’t taste anything like pumpkin pie!” because they’ve never had *pumpkin*, they’ve had nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and allspice wrapped in a layer of sugar. There’s quite a difference.

Same. Dropping my basic cable thru comcast would not save me any money, in fact I would end up paying about the same or more for internet alone. Except that I pay $17 a month for my Tivo and now they charge me $10 a month (instead of $2) to have the cable card. Almost worth it. Getting closer. -_-
