That’s a really good point about feeling like you’re going to die. Spending 48 hrs in the bathroom while your body pushes every fluid out of your body from both ends will sure as hell make you wonder how long you can keep that up.

I’m a relatively healthy 34 y/o who doesn’t get sick that often but something happened in my late 20's and about 3 out of 4 years I got just destroyed by the flu. All resulted in urgent care visits for a shot in the ass, nausea suppressant and sometimes an IV. From that point on I figured it’s worth the 20 minutes to…

I haven’t really been into foo fighters since I was a teenager but that was pretty cool.

Gimme that WoodCam!

This recipe we got in blue apron a while back is what turned me around on sweet potatoes. Basically you cut them lengthwise, roast face down and top with a greek yogurt/green onion sauce.

He was on the stern show maybe a month back and he unfortunately seemed ok with law enforcement adopting it. You’d think the guy who played the character would see why that’s such an issue but....not so much.

That sounds good too. I like to do that with artichokes, I make a little lemon/balsamic mayo for dipping. Super tasty and easy.

I drive an 08 Impreza and live in the Reno area and good all-seasons are all I’ve used and the only time I had trouble was when my tires were just worn out. Otherwise they work great. I’ve driven up and over the sierras a few times in snow storms and my car had no troubles. Maybe winter tires would be *better* but I…

Hell ya, that’s been bookmarked. I’m definitely going to attempt this in the next few days.

It’s what you hold when your other hand is holding your pork sword.

I’ve never really used this technique for smaller peppers but I do use it for bell peppers. Makes quick work of it and you get flat pieces to chop, slice, etc without having to deal with the seeds.

I might try this because one thing I have continually failed at making is fudge. I like to consider myself a pretty decent cook and even baker, but fudge is my kryptonite. The main issue with this is I love fudge and always want to make it for the holidays despite the previously mentioned ongoing failures.

So I want to make these for a small party tomorrow but when I went looking around at other variations of this recipe they almost all say you need to let them sit in the fridge for a few days before serving to mellow the boozy flavor. Is that really necessary? These sound great but that seems like a bit much and I…

Color me surprised that these are an actual thing. We used to make these and call em “poor man tacos”, usually after holidays when we had leftover mashed potatoes.

I hated this show initially but towards the end of season 1 I found myself really enjoying it. For as goofy as it was, it was successfully emotional.  

I’ve only made it the one time but I’d throw apple butter into this discussion. It was shockingly easy to do in a crock pot and when I brought mine to work people were always asking me about it. Not to mention it’s cheap. Buy a big pack of apples from costco for $10 and that’s probably 75% of the expense involved…

That’s literally a buyout. He forfeits a portion of his salary to be released from his contract.

Ok cool. I always feel guilty throwing away those carcasses knowing they could be put to better use.

I’m in the same boat as you, something doesn’t quite add up in my mind. If she’s upset that they don’t hire enough women and POC, how does her leaving (as a woman and POC) help that? Unless she felt like she was the token minority brought in as symbolic diversity I’m a bit lost.

Ok. I’ve never made my own stock so I have to know, do you need to use chicken with most/all of the meat still on it? Like, can I use a rotisserie chicken carcass that has most of the meat removed? I know the bones/fat are important but not sure about the actual meat of the bird.
