For years, I have put dried but rinsed pinto beans in the slow cooker with chicken stock rather than water and aromatics (bay leaf, a spice mix for beans I like) and just left it 8 or so hours, overnight. (Now that I have an Instant Pot, my slow cooker hasn’t even come out of the cabinet and needs to be donated.) The…

Hulk... is that you?

Add to that the fact that friends and family reported that they had a “happy” relationship. That sounds like social grooming; that both victim and perpetrator will never fight in front of anyone and pretend that everything is perfect and wonderful. As opposed to couples like my husband and I, who seem only to get into…

Someone keeps pissing in the outdoor elevators at my train station, despite there being bushes literally ten feet away. And I don’t think it’s just one person, they always smell overwhelmingly of piss and it’s multiple times a day.

My favorite recipe for white bean salad:

Child support laws vary wildly from state to state, but what I can tell you about my state (which actually helps... basically not at all) is that:

This sums up the reason why I quit WoW, and pretty much all other MMO’s (“pics or gtfo” literally millions of times). I mean, if you’re going to let trolls take over, you’re going to eventually find yourself in a place where you’re not selling subscriptions anymore. I know that white men age 18-30 are a pretty heavy…

I have to admit, it does make for a clever bait and switch

Issa Rae is a god damn American treasure. If she ran for president I would be at the front of that parade.

But think of all the job skills they’ll pick up while they’re there!

Don’t get too cocky. The slavering mob who supports Trump somehow managed to blame Katrina on President Obama, facts like “President Obama didn’t take office for another three years” be damned

For one, I work the downtown of a major US city so real estate is suuuuuper expensive

I’ll start them off: “Voter fraud!”

Dammit, Hollywood.

Wealthy, but with that entitlement that anything good that happens to them isn’t because of birth, it’s because of hard work

Right, because the Constitution’s preferred method of expressing oneself is to scream (type?) angrily at strangers on the internet, then post their home addresses so that gigantic assholes can send them rape and death threats.

Very cool, hadn’t heard of Norse-Germanic paganism, but I’ll file that next to Hellenistic Polytheism in “new old religions I’ve learned about that are a pleasant surprise that people still practice”! I can imagine that the largest numbers of white supremacists are actually Protestant, but yeah, lots and lots of…

When my grandma passed about 10 days ago, she didn’t need morphine, but the Valium helped her. She started yelling in her sleep about six hours before she died so the Valium seemed to help ease the transition for her. Thank GOD for hospice. She didn’t suffer at all and wasn’t in any pain (but we would have had…

Are you serious about practicing Asatru? Because I’ve heard that there are a bunch of white supremacists who actually do, so I’d be interested to know, if you’re serious, whether you’re a white supremacist and/or whether you are around them a lot.

Extra points if you portion it out, freeze it on a cookie sheet, and then put the little dough balls into a freezer bag so you have individual cookies ready to throw straight into the oven
