LOL! My grandmother's recipes are half in English, half in Croatian (Cringlish?), no measurements, no procedure. I feel like I need a full forensic anthropology team to even open the box I got them in. I totally get ya on the canapes and small items. I think part of it is that small bites just seem so much more…

I've played wat to much Silent Hill to ever, ever be okay with anything mannequin-like. You know it can't end well. It will move around when I'm not home and OMG I'M FREAKING OUT NOW.

Awesome! I love that no matter how long you work in the culinary industry you can still learn stuff! Never would have thought about using shortening to help with coating/clumping! I would have been too worried about melting. Oooh! And I bet it makes them slightly shiny and pretty and then you don't have to temper!

I guess I can call this one of the only benefits of growing up beneath the poverty line, but I didn't really get "new" toys until I was like 7 or 8. Most of my stuff was hand-me-down from my aunt and uncle. I had a few barbies, and like acres of stuffed animals but also a crap-ton of cars and (thinking about it…

I always have a moment of just pure heartbreak for those girls, too. I don't know if they've done any clinical studies on this but from what I understand from anecdotal data is that it's incredibly common to have a ton of sexual issues because of abstinence pledges, even and especially if they actually do wait until…

Okay, so I saw recipe and I have this problem where I can't read recipes without trying to edit them. Is the water + vodka + liqueur the "ice cream," or is there actual ice cream? Also, is there a special reason for the shortening? I can definitely see it making the chocolate taste even better (fat is what carries…

Yeah! I could've used those calories! Asshole fetuses! Spunging little bastards should get jobs already! BOOTSTRAPS!

Every. Single. Time. I always see Laura Ingalls. Glad I'm not the only one.

We are going to SCIENCE and ART so hard. ALL OVER THEIR LAWN!

This is very similar to a point I made on another article about the whole "same-sex marriage/relationships/adoption will TURN EVERYONE GAY!" fear mongering bullshit. It's like, dude, if you are that fixated with the idea of two guys having sex, maybe you're gay? Just saying, I've personally never once seen a case of a…

Completely unrelated to this article, but I just realized your avatar is the bear from Harvey Birdman, and I think I love you.

Seriously, you could drown a toddler down there.

Thanks for the advice, especially about the pain. It feels like I'm being stabbed in the right side/hip all the time. Not to mention the occasional random bleeding. I joke around all the time that I am getting on oopherectomy, but on the installation plan. The last one they pulled out was the size of a golf ball, and…

Looks like everyone missed the window...

Yes, and I've asked about both of those as well, especially because my ovaries are where the cyst issues exist. But unfortunately I get the same response to those as well, which is along the lines of: "But what if you want kids one day?!" As well as "But they're so invasive! We can just keep removing the cysts when…

While you have an amazing and perfectly valid point, and I do not wish to in any way detract from it, I feel like you could have left it at "a fair and balanced discussion on Fox News. ;)

Thank you! I was just coming on here to say basically this.

Absolutely! All the jezzies are invited! Once, you know, we actually get around to planning it lol. We are the worst about advance notice, though. It'll probably be along the lines of:hey in 3 weeks we're throwing ourselves a wedding reception. It'll be wherever. Try not to forget about it, because I can't be…

Maybe someone already said this, and it's still in the greys, but I don't want to look through them, but:

Holy hell! We live in DFW. Totes calling Shiner for this thanks for the tip! If we do this, you are totally invited! Come out and party with us and my crazy ass Croatian family, (seriously, they are awesome and will probably do something weird and hilarious).
