I can ABSOLUTELY come decorate :D brb lemme go pack up my sewing machine and staple gun and paint brushes...

Oh for the stock I don’t chop the onions! (Oh my god nooooo.) I just throw in a couple of the back-ends of onion halves that’re invariably lurking in the fridge — plus the chicken itself (minus the giblet bits inside), the hacked top bits of a leek or two, and a lemon cut in half and squeezed but not fussed over plus…

TY! <<333 I’m still crossing my fingers for you guys that you manage to escape the Purgatory Cabin and get to where you want to beeeee, i.e. NOT HERE, which I honestly concur with :/

That sounds DIVINE! Man it’s so hard to get really amazing peaches, but when you do? Guhhhh.

LOOK AT THOSE FLUFF CLUCKS, THEY ARE DELIGHTFUL <3

Who’s cooking? (I bet PinkEars is!) I’ve got my two giant pots going with soup right now, comprising : a whole (and subsequently dismembered and chopped) chicken stock-ified with leeks and lemons and peppercorns and oregano, then four onions, three whole bulbs of roasted garlic, chopped leeks, artichoke hearts,…

Honestly Ragnarok is pretty much perfect in every respect.

Yeaaah, from what I’ve seen so far, not a ton of that is translating. Hopeful that the movie itself will do more with it. (Hopeful, but not sanguine.)

I want to be as excited about this as I was about Thor Ragnarok with it similar Gonzo 80s visual motifs, and for it to be as ultimately satisfying and well-crafted. But, you know, not counting on it. I also want to like Gal Gadot, but her only three facial expressions — sweetly smiling, sweetly blank, and unconvincing…

It takes everybody a minute, which is what makes it so fun to use. :)

It took me a second because I’m so accustomed to Old (or at least Middle-Aged) James Cromwell, but yeah, this is a STRONG resemblance.

Magic Erasers are almost always the answer. They’ll even take a lot of “stains” off of my white solid-surface countertops all by themselves. Bonus : used dry, they’re great for getting water spots and smudges off of bathroom mirrors, no Windex-type-stuff required.

It’s also useful if you occasionally use white cloth napkins that get assorted food/grease stains on them! Just dissolve a few shakes of it in hot water in the kitchen sink, throw in the napkins, let them soak a while. I find this is often a better option that playing roulette with (or ugh, having to look up again…

Barkeeper’s Friend is also great for cleaning that burnt-on crud off of solid-surface glass cooktops! If you’re unfortunate enough to have one. (I was unfortunate i.e. stupid enough to buy a JennAir instead of going to the trouble of getting gas hookups. I still regret this eight years later.)

No lie, steam mops are AMAZING and everyone who has partial or total hard floors should have one. No disposable-waste Swiffer bullshit, no stanky fakey chemical fragrances, effective as hell. 

First thing I thought of, too. 

Is it just me, or does Fake Rod Stewart actually look way more like Fake Roger Daltrey In A Rod Stewart Hairdo?

IIRC, it really wasn’t that crazy heavy! Of course, the one I got was only like 15" wide x 11" high, which was just too small for my needs. After posting that, I was like “shit I should poke around on the site, maybe I need a new one!” — alas, they only have one or two models that’re Real Real Big, they were only…
