Fun fact, but it’s not so much the chlorine alone that makes your eyes sting, it’s the chlorine combining with too much urine and an iritiant called chloramine is formed and that’s what is usually reddening your eyes. More surprising, but it also means that there probably isn’t enough chlorine either. On top of the…

I truly thought that her Stockholm syndrome would never end. That being said, my confidence in Pelosi to do much more that sternly way a finder remains incredibly low. Low, like whale shit that’s dropped to the bottom of the Marianas Trench low, but it’s better than the nothing that she’s been doing so far.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist on the typo! Making fun of something I do far, far too often myself. If I can make a post without a typo, even I’m surprised. 

Your repeat business will be killer, literally!

There was once a food hill I was willing to die on, but I slipped on the ascent and was dashed on the rocks below. 

Cool, whatever works for you! It reminds me a bit of the time I served apples with balsamic vinegar and cracked black pepper and one of my friends though it was a joke. Everyone else liked it, but he hated it. Then I really warped his brain when I told him that I’ve even eaten vanilla ice cream with a dash of aged…

Yeah, that’s the sort of dish I’m talking about. I’m glad you were able to power through it though. I guess I haven’t been as fortunate as you’ve been, as when I see them added to something it’s still, ‘Oh, there are raisins in this...lovely.’ wince.

I’m just sort of ‘meh’ on raisins, but this article did dredge up one nightmare-fueled memory of their inclusion of a dish that still gives me the cold shivers, Waldorf salad. My mom, who is someone I regard as quite the capable cook, once slopped out some Waldorf salad for me and it was bejewelled with raisins like…

Thank you for not taking that as an attack and I greatly appreciate anyone willing to slog through all that. People do tend to be very complex and it’s rare to find people without some sort of balance in their actions and life. There are politicians whom I dislike that I can find some positive moments with and even…

Interesting. No matter how the attack took place, it doesn’t reflect too well on the US forces in the area and shows some level of vulnerability. I still fully believe that Dolt and the other hawks are really pushing for a fight with Iran no matter what the reality of the situation is and this is all for an extremely…

Plus, if missiles were used and they came from Iran they would have flown over the Persian Gulf where they should have been ‘easy’ to detect by the crapload of high tech ships we have there. So either we have a major problem detecting missiles within range of our ships, or they came from somewhere else. The other…

OK, please don’t take this as an attack, but I cannot keep quiet about McCain concerning certain issues. You didn’t ask for this, but here I go.

I’ve tried Braeburns and really liked them, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen them around. I’ve never heard of Arkansas Black apples though. I had some really amazing apples from a very surprising place- an abandoned orchid in the middle of the Superstition Mountains in Az. Seriously, a guy that goes by the name…

No doubt. It’s the apple that’s filled countless prison and school lunches. The color sure looks nice, but now I look for things like sugar striping or just even the name/variety.

A bit late, but you are one hell of a writer and one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with on the internet! That’s not an exaggeration either. This site has become a welcome daily oasis in the endless sea of storms and your steady hands have helped lead it here. It is a serious bummer that you…

Evidently some people still like them, as they’re sold everywhere. When I think of them I think of their surprisingly thick skin, mealy texture, and so-so at best flavor. Of course it comes down to personal preference, but I really don’t like them and wonder if their popularity is partially due to being the ‘iconic’…

You know that’s from a movie, right? 

He used a clown and it was actually pretty damn funny, all things considered! ‘Support clown’....ooohh, shit! :-0

I’ve only made apple pie a handful of times, but these are great tips. Never thought about the the pre-chilling thing, but it makes sense as I’ve made biscuits and other recipes that benefit from cold ingredients such as butter and water.

This went much better than expected, Klore! (sorry, had to)
