Mid to upper 40s? Are you aware that for safe food storage your fridge should be set at 35-40? 

“According to me, room temperature fruit tastes better anyway. Cold can reduce the intensity of certain flavors and, though the topic remains poorly understood in scientific circles, room-temp fruit reads as juicier, sweeter, and more fragrant.”

We purchased this shark vacuum a few years ago and couldn’t be happier with it. It’s suction is stronger than any of our previous vacuums, and picks up all sorts of things.

I don’t know, I’ve decided that purposefully inhaling any carcinogens into my lungs is not something I need to do going forward. 

I’m surprised weed isn’t on this list, as there isn’t a lot of solid evidence to back up the various claims about its benefits. One thing I’m surprised I don’t see more often is discussion around the health effects of smoking it. Over the past couple of months I’ve made a shift from smoking to other methods of…

See, that’s way too much work for sane people. My friend is not a sane person, your dad must not be either.

I’ve never experienced what you describe. 

Yeah, never scraping sounds quite nasty. I have a friend who is the opposite extreme, he has purchased all sorts of gadgets over the years to attempt to return his grill grates to the look of a shiny new grill every time he cooks. I think it’s a silly losing battle. To me one of the bonuses of grilling vs cooking…

I find it hard to believe anyone would need to be explicitly told to follow this advice. 

As long as you scrape it clean at the beginning of each session it’s fine. I think that’s another advantage of charcoal vs propane; When I’m done grilling I close all of the vents on the grill, but the charcoal still takes a long time to stop burning. The amount of heat left turns anything left on the grates to…

My current Weber grill is 10 years old and I only ever do step 5 at the beginning of grilling season. I’m always sure to let it get super hot, then everything scrapes right off. Cleaning the bottom kettle of a charcoal grill is a fool’s errand. I’m really good about using Weber’s “one-touch” cleaning system before…

That friend is predisposed towards drama and his wife is even worse by a factor of at least two; you can imagine what they are like as a couple. 

Your story sounds remarkably familiar. Years ago I was at a wedding where my friend’s very drunk wife got into a huge argument with an aunt of the bride over a floral centerpiece. This led to the end of a 20-year friendship between the groom and my friend who was also one of his groomsmen. 

Reading a book is a time commitment, even on the rare occasion when I decide to stop reading a book. No offense is intended to you personally, but this is one place where I still choose to rely on gatekeepers at publishing houses as well as professional reviews.

For most of us there are far more books we might be interested in reading than there are hours in our lives to do so. For this reason I’m always surprised that anyone would choose to read a self-published book that was theoretically turned down by publishers and/or literary agents. I’m sure there are some hidden gems…

“Unfortunately, I’ve left my charcoal sitting in its original paper packaging for the last year. It has, however, been on a cool and dry shelf in my pantry. Maybe there’s hope for me yet.”

It doesn’t surprise me, but I didn’t realize there was a big anti-sunscreen movement out there.

I’m not a Sex Pistols fan and don’t follow them, I didn’t know that until just now.
