It’s weird to me that people have trouble with salmon and it’s not that I’m a particularly good cook or anything. I find some white fishes more delicate and easier to screw up whereas salmon is easy, probably because it’s so fatty (and delicious). Have you tried covering the pan? it helps with cooking the middle of…

That looks awesome! How tightly do you wrap up the packets??

I’m a big fan of the foil packets. The fillets typically don’t look super pretty when I get done, but whatever. Flaky and delicious.

Yeah his deal is all “I’ll clean it up!” and then 3 days go by and he hasn’t done it and I get sick and tired of bitching at him to do it. He says it’s his ADHD and more and more I’m like “No, your parents just coddled you too much and now you are only grown when it comes work ethic (at work, where you get paid) and…

Toaster oven salmon is the easiest. Marinade, broil, done.

Oven cooked salmon all the way. My husband makes fun of me for using tinfoil for baking salmon, he calls it a hobo oven, but WHATEVER it works and is a one size fits all and is super easy clean up and everything turns out perfect. In a Pyrex you have to do dishes and if you have a big piece of fish, it might not all…

Agreed! Baking in parchment or foil is super easy—you basically cannot screw it up and you don’t have to clean any pans.

If I had to guess, Temple?

Society requires you to do a number of things for the safety of others: get training and a licence and insurance for your car, for instance. If it were only possible to kill yourself with your car, those laws would not be necessary.

Vaccination is a lot like car training and insurance: it works best when everyone has…

harridan, what a great word

Doris, the sweetest old lady who came in at the same time every day, always had something nice to say to whoever was working, and who always asked so sweetly for help putting condiments in her iced coffee because she was too short to reach the stand herself. We adored her.

We once took my grandparents out to a restaurant for their anniversary. It was an authentic German restaurant, at least as authentic as someone can get in the United States, and my grandparents were both born and raised Germans. For the meal, there were no complaints. It was good food. But my grandpa kept this look on…

yes yes yes yes yes. I’m now of the age where I’m usually one of the few single women left at a wedding, and no one seems to understand how humiliating it is to be called out in front of hundreds of people to go up there and catch the fucking bouquet. It’s always me, and like 4-5 adolescents. It’s a horrible feeling.…

My BFF had planned to toss hers, but she was having so much fun dancing & drinking that she actually just forgot. Now that’s a wedding.

I think I will. Especially since I’m one of the few singles who will be attending (I’m one of the last of my college group who is not married!) Worse case scenario, I’ll just back up or step aside :-)

You are absolutely right. I didn’t really have an opinion one way or the other about bouquet tosses and I think it was in the “schedule,” but we completely forgot about it because literally everything else going on at the wedding is more fun that this.

there is always some guest that is like that. My husbands grandmother went inside the house (even though the wedding was outside in the backyard and we had heat lamps everywhere and she had a jacket) and glared at everyone through the window. whatever, not her day. I was actually happy for the first time ever that we…

just answer with a “I’m not sure yet! A lot of details are up in the air still! Ya know there is so many things we want to do!” and then list the awesome stuff you ARE gonna do. Like I would tell people about our food truck and smores and that we would have lawn games and would actually be the wedding band ourselves!…

The bride is actually a well-disguised dolphin and can’t get enough reach with her flippers to throw a bouquet over her head.

“I am saying that people are going to be wondering why you don’t.”
