Apologies for taking all day. It’s the Presto 07047 Cool Touch Electric Griddle: http://amazon.com/dp/B0051XSIO6/

Uh... a cheap one. I’m not at home and can’t recall which brand it was, but a cursory search on Google and Amazon shows a lot of models by Black and Decker and Presto that look like mine.  It was definitely on the lower end of the price range.

Wut. I’ve heard this “first pancake is always ugly” thing, but that has never been my experience. My pancakes always look more uniform than any of the ones pictured above, but I don’t think this has anything to do with skill on my part. Based on the first couple of paragraphs above, I chalk it up to the fact that I

I’mp honestly surprised by this because for a while I was changing dental plans annually, and every dentist I’ve had in about the last decade has recommended brushing with charcoal. I haven’t, but it’s been recommended by all of them.

I was skeptical when I clicked the headline, but after reading those suggestions I’ma have to put a box of toaster hash browns on my grocery list.

DuJour means crash positions!

What I’m getting from this—and forgive me for oversimplifying—is “if you can pile it on a chip or a cracker, try putting it on endive instead.”

Oh like they don't already know.

Are you aware that Henson wanted to release The Dark Crystal without narration or English dialogue, but the studio refused to release it that way? I’d love to see that version of The Dark Crystal, but I doubt it would have been a financial success.

...but on the other hand, I work for such an agency (not the IRS), and we’re required to do a certain number of random audits annually across a wide spectrum of taxpayers. The biggest offenders take a disproportionate level of time and resources to scrutinize and often yield inconclusive data (for example, a large busi

Alternatively, break out the miracle fruit tablets and sample a little of everything in the fridge.

Hey, I’m not advocating adding more salt, just pointing out why your food doesn’t taste like restaurant food.

Some time ago somebody here on Kinja said something along the lines of “the main difference between your cooking and the meal you’re getting at a restaurant is that you’re not adding enough salt and pepper.” By god, they were right.

Wait, so President Vernon’s real name was President Washington?

That’s absolutely true. Kids are open-minded blank slates. Unfortunately (and this is anecdotal; your mileage may vary), a lot of them just aren’t willing to sit through black and white media unless you can find them a gateway drug (say, a brand new CGI remake). That’s how I plan to sell The Addams Family to the kids

I guess everybody’s mileage varies, but I know so many people who have zero interest in sitting through any media made prior to their own childhood. What drives me crazy about that is that I can’t really fault it because you’ll never have time to consume everything good, even if you confine yourself only to the best

That’s more or less my point; I think the new version looks toothless in comparison to the older versions but I’m sure that baby boomers felt the same way when the movie came out in 1991. Best case scenario, of course, is that it ends up being much better than I think it looks, but it’ll still generate interest in the

Well, every generation gets their unnecessary remakes, I guess (the current generation more than past ones, it seems). I think the best screen adaptation of The Addams Family is already behind us, but my nieces—who would love it—are a lot more likely to respond to “if you liked it in CGI then you should see the live

Pretty much, but I’d give ‘em a pass on Twitter = cloud.

I mean... maybe if you’re only eating bagels for the cream cheese.
