If you don’t know how to convert a Word file to PDF, how to make a bar graph in Excel, or how to copy paste without using the Edit menu, are you on any nursing home waiting lists yet? The good ones can take years to get into.

As someone who has been losing a lot of weight in a short span of time (medical issues), thank you for putting this article out there.

At home, I do pour-over and at work, Nespresso. It’s good! I was a restaurant in Lyon (the “Culinary Capital of France”) and I went to one of their typical Lyonnais restaurants. It was great. I ordered coffee with my dessert, and the little espresso cup was marked “Nespresso”! I (skeptically) asked the waiter if that…

You can get better espresso for cheaper (after a few years) with a real espresso machine and grinder, but you are also getting a new hobby...

May be a dumb question but asking because filtered water was brought up. We have to use bottled water for drinking, coffee, etc., (GenX and PFAS contaminate our water supply/home filtering will not work) and just wondering if there is one type of water that is better for coffee than the others. I buy purified water,…

I used a Nespresso for years. It was awesome, but I found myself going through wayyyy too many pods, so I switched to grinding my own. There were a couple of reusable pod models, but they seemed too fiddly, so I finally ended up selling the Nespresso for real cheap. The new owner is also pretty happy with it, too.  

Good old low-tech Moka Pot FTW. My wife and I like lattes in the morning, so we got a big stainless steel Moka from Bialetti, and a large stainless milk frothing pitcher, which I put directly on the stove at low heat, and then use a battery-powered hand frother (I think from PowerLix) just after I pour the coffee. End…

I love the nespresso. I also have a french press, buy whole beans, have a burr grinder, and use an expensive drip machine that keeps the temp of the water at the proper temp for brewing. But I also use city water because I like the flavor better (I don’t know why, it’s weird) and disposable filters instead of the gold…

I once had someone correct me when I said “It’s a moot point” and tell me “You mean mute.”

Middle of yard was probably the best light for the fruit trees.

Bath sheets since the 1970's.  I think they dry faster, because the same amount of water is spread over a larger towel area. 

A good quality, uniformly-heating, non-stick griddle is essential. Even if you don’t have kids. French toast is a snap. Pancakes are cake. Grilled cheese is simple (350F, cook each side separate until cheese just starts to melt, then flip one side onto the other - takes about 2/3 the time at most). Toss a whole…

To be fair (though to be honest I had the exact same reaction), a sheet pan is still a pan.

This is one of those scenarios where a griddle is ridiculously useful. Seriously, if you like pancakes and have kids, get a griddle to save time for the next several years. You can cook 6+ at a time and they are so easy to clean. We make them about 4-5" across, and here’s the best part:

Yes this^^^ I had the EXACT same after thought after reading the article.

I said this exact thing but much harsher. I believe my exact words were, "that's just cake, you f****ing idiots."

This is along the lines of another article I saw where someone coined the term, “DIY Food” - You mean, “COOKING”? Another one was a Vegan influencer who called it “Hunting, but vegan-style” - You mean, “GATHERING”??

PAN-CAKE. In a PAN. 

It might also would also be cool to spread some kind filling over the top and make a roulade. 

This really puts the term ‘pan-cake’ into perspective.
