The cars are far more predictable than the cyclists, and generally stay off the sidewalks. Of course getting hit by a cyclist is far less likely to kill you, but it has happened.

That and they must have declined to settle.

Three weeks in the Russian Far East here — the planning and packing almost reaches the level of organizing a family for a week at Disney! :)

Babybel cheese in wax and plastic wrap will be fine unrefrigerated for a very long time -- I’ve taken it on multi-day hikes. Laughing Cow cheese product, too, is closer to shelf-stable than you might think.

Either of the soup casseroles proposed above would probably work as bread pudding or strata, with just enough egg to bind rather than making it the star of the show.

... and eventually the people responsible for the sacking, were sacked.

If he had hit a moose, a good possibility in the White Mountains, it would have been a real shame about the moose.

I mean, there’s no substitute for the smell of microwaved catfood -- another reason to be very gentle with the heating! -- but the cats like it? Their ancestors dined on the warm, still-quivering hearts their prey, after all...

The real concerning products here are not the commercially available items, it’s the medical-use items that were designed for medically fragile populations and sold in carton sizes that scream “nursing home foodservice.”

The fire alarm went off about halfway through my oral examination for my Master’s degree. It was not going that well to begin with and I nearly burst into tears when the siren went off and the lights started flashing. The panel had to actually give me a minute to calm down, and the nicest faculty member on the panel…

Some of the Whole Hearted (Petco store brand) fish offerings are absolutely eye-watering. My two love it but it is so bad, I won’t buy it.

Gently warming their (wet) food can also make the food smell more pronounced and get their attention. No warmer than human body temp, so start with 5 seconds in the microwave, and stir very well to ensure no hot spots. Works every time with my two goobers.

There are a bunch of ways to think about this. Since cargo is often palletized, how about specialized protective transport boxes for power chairs? Sort of like a collapsible pet crate with tie-down points for the chair and whatever lift points or rollers are needed for loading, which would protect the chair but still…

Australian coming back from Bali, a place Australians notoriously go to party, with this much McDonald’s tucked away in their backpack? “Severely impaired” is well within the range of possibilities.

while he figured out how to replace his powerchair that retails for about $40,000,

There’s a recipe for cowboy caviar on Allrecipes that has comments going back to at least 2009 — it’s not a new thing. Apparently the dish’s origins date back to the 1940s? While it’s correct that TikTok people are unlikely to be breaking new culinary ground, there’s no reason to think they’re uniquely engaged in some…

They still have them in lunch/dinner items, sort of home fries in a soft taco and as a side, but they’re quite skippable. Nacho Fries, on the other hand, should just be on the damn menu full-time.

Soup, made with frozen vegetables and meatballs, maybe some pasta or rice if you have it and can stand the extra cooking time (or used leftovers), or just use crackers or bread to thicken, with whatever stock you have handy (cubes, boxed, Better than Boullion, consomme powder), some dried oregano, onion and garlic,…

If your local Taco Bell does breakfast, make the effort to get there during the AM hours. A “cheesy toasted” potato burrito is delicious and a reasonable breakfast portion, although you’re going to want to take a minute to unwrap and add at least one packet of hot sauce before you dive in.

I’ve lived in Egypt, Jordan and Bosnia — all places where you find Turkish coffee, and all three countries share a common history as former territories of the Ottoman Empire. Turkish coffee is distinct from Arab coffee, with differences lying in the roast of the beans and the spices added. Good luck finding a home…
