Get the fuck out of here. Pam? For eggs? What is this, 1984? Even if I’m using the same pan that I fried the bacon in (and you should absolutely 100% of the time do this) I still add a pat of butter.

Ding ding ding! For the best of the best, get the Hunt’s with no corn syrup.

I went to both Arthur Bryant’s and Q39 in the same day when I went down to KC with my wife in May. Arthur Bryant’s for lunch, and Q39 for dinner. Went to Arthur Bryan’s over Gates just due to it being a little closer to where we needed to be afterward.

They outperformed until they fell apart, at least.  I struggle to classify the Geo Storm as a domestic, though.  My sister had a yellow GSi hatch and that thing was a BLAST to drive.

Huh--what year/engine is yours?  Ours is a 2.5L 2015 rated 24-32MPG.  I’m of course aware that they don’t actually test highway mileage at actual highway speeds (70+mph) so I never expected to hit 32 in ours.  We have hit 30 once, though, but never got below the 24 as rated.

Yes! Put the pop-ups back in. I fixed my lazy-eyed ‘86 back in the day and didn’t regret it. Can’t remember if I just replaced the sprocket or got a refurb setup. Any headlight updating I’d do would simply have to include pop-ups because the car just doesn’t look as awesome without them :D

We get 26-28mpg with our 2015 model. My wife is a nurse and we have two labradores. The Forester is fairly large (and AWD) to reasonably expect better in real world conditions.  There aren’t really any similarly sized AWD vehicles that deliver any better fuel economy that I’ve seen.  Don’t be fooled by economy numbers…

Great Falls Green cannot be done justice in photographs. I was very tempted by a GTI even though I didn’t like it as much as my current car, simply because the color is that awesome.

This is the key. Don’t bother with marinades and brines (or do, but it’s just more work for very little payoff IMO). Just season it with whatever tastes good to you and just cook it to the correct damn temperature.

No need for marinade or brine.  Just salt, pepper, herbs, and grill using a meat thermometer so you don’t overcook it.

The best marinade for chicken breast is none. Just salt (I use a garlic/salt blend), pepper, and dried thyme.  Grill it.  Use a meat thermometer to not turn it into leather.   Done.  The key to chicken breast is just not overcooking it, and never re-heat it.

God damn I hate to admit it, but it took me about 10 seconds to get that.  Probably doesn’t help that I’ve never read the books and only seen the first movie.  Still funny, though :D

If you don’t see the problem with this, then you need to be locked up along with this other asshole.

Before cell service became widespread, actual landline-to-landline sound quality was excellent. Even early generation analog cellular was very high quality—I distinctly remember having to upgrade my StarTac (yes seriously) to a newer flip phone because they were shutting down the analog cell towers to switch to all…

Funny you mention that--I have hot sauce, good coffee with a pour-over filter drippy thingy (I’m not a coffee snob but my work coffee is VILE), gum, and I usually have beef jerky but I’m all out and now I’m jonesing.

Eh, I grew up on a farm with dogs that came and went as they pleased, but even I knew that shit doesn’t fly in the city.  There’s good reason for that, too.

Would have been a great deal on a Mystique, but a Tracer. . .?  Wasn’t 1k about the going rate for a 9 year old Tracer?

Yeah I was just gonna say. . . In fact it’s just like any other profession where you have the standard percentage of assholes.

It’s just weird that the MDX is just soooooo much uglier than the Pilot (which I agree seems to be good).

My first reaction to the MDX suggestion was: “THAT’S what an MDX looks like now?  Ewwwwwwwwwww”  Especially after seeing the very lovely Mazda.
