You ever work with someone who manages to keep their job while doing absolutely nothing of value whatsoever? No? You just met two of them. That is how they will approach their community service. Be there, do nothing, get credit.

I don’t like video, I can read. However, the most important thing in buying a knife is, how does it feel in your hand. Your hand, not someone else, not some reviewer, not your friend, your hand.

I made some roux on Sunday in advance of our Tuesday Thanksgiving meal.
I put the roux in silicone cupcake cups and into the freezer.
A couple of notes:
Roux = glue. Roux scoffs at everything a dishwasher throws at it. Both on the silicone and on the metal pan. Hand wash only.
Adding roux to gravy is always fraught with…

Medical cmpany. Perhaps Theranos will find out from first hand experience that health care for prisoners who are pregnant is terrible, bad, and risks lives. Perhaps do something about that as someone wanting to do something for the health of people.

As a west coaster, I have heard of ALL of them, I just don’t care about them at all.

I was wondering about that. My experience is from about 3 decades ago.

Another downside is that the materials used result in walls not complying with stick-built sizes. Remodeling a manufacturegd home is challenging as the walls are differnt thickness and insulation. Adding on requires some form of foundation as mfg homes have none.

In the time of Vikings, a boat could be put together in just a few weeks. To make one sail took twice as many months to spin the yarn, weave the fabric, and assemble the yardage for one sail. More weavers than boat builders.

Depending on the volume of contents in a casserole, turn the lid upside down to provide a solid surface for another container of something.

Wait what? I would never consider buying mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, or rolls. Crescent rolls are a family recipe hand-me-down, and the others are rather easy, so buying them is out of the question!

Bought our turkey this afternoon. Done. Will spatchcock again this year. Works great. Considering pre-making and freezing roux so none of that last-second making some on the side while keeping the gravy cooking, again.

And I would like to know -exactly- what “excesses” Democrats have supposedly committed according to Musk? I can go on for about an hour about excesses of the R’s. Can Musk come up with even ONE D excess?

And always take a moment to think ahead of some worst-case scenarios and do some preventative actions to prevent them.

Watch out though. Some of those old cookbooks call out for an oven temperature of Medium Hot! Whatever that means.

Wallpaper. Just No. Ever.

And yet when it comes to a religious exemption for allowing a woman to decide to adhere to their own religion for abortion, “no such consideration for their religious beliefs” doesn’t count I guess.

As an actual piece of advice and non-plumbing related, the front turn signal lights of a ‘67 VW do not have a separate part number seal. It uses the equivalent of plumbers putty instead.

I am almost surprised that a molotov wasn’t hurled from the women’s college in the direction of the catcallers.

A while ago my email address was farmed out and I received a bunch of apparently spam emails. Looking closer, they were from actual companies with actual websites. They were the ones who were taken for $ for buying my address.

I still need to change my voicemail outgoing message to, “Don’t bother, I don’t look for VMs, and even when I know I have one, it may take many days to actually listen to it, so, no.”
