Blueberry was my preorder bonus thoroughbred, so I had her right from the start and pretty much never used another horse until the epilogue. When I upgraded the HDD in my PS4 Pro at one point, I didn’t properly install the preorder bonus pack and lost her, which (along with general frustration at one mission) was a…

Agreed. I really love RDR2, but I love the story and characters. The gameplay is okay at best. Really not great, though. It took me two restarts to actually get into and beat the game, and the controls and some of the in-game mechanics were definitely a huge part of the problem.

But no matter how much they say the…

Respectfully disagree on both counts.  It’s Puppy Chow, and the best kind is that which you make your own self. My personal favorite version involves chunky peanut butter, but I’m admittedly a weird anti-social misanthrope.  But chunky or smooth, there’s something oddly soothing and satisfying about pouring a gloppy…

His son was rescued.

Years ago my wife and I started making pizza at home while drinking, like this, but not as funny to our roommates:

I won’t order steak from a restaurant anymore, even if I’m at a steakhouse and somebody else is footing the bill. I just can’t justify the cost, especially when I can make a better steak at home for a fraction of the price. I’d rather see what else the chefs to can do with chicken or seafood rather than an…

Even better: Cookies fast!

Yep. They have full blank-check status with me, in the way that A24 does with film.

It’s no one thing, but an experience — strolling through Pike Place and grabbing a curry beef bun from Mee Sum Pastry, checking the line at Pike Place Chowder, maybe grab some fried chicken liver from the Chicken Valley stall and watch the fish mongers toss some salmon around, pop into Piroshky Piroshky for a cardamom…

Austin area here. There's a pizza place outside of town called Pieous Pizza. It's my favorite restaurant in Austin and all I want is their house made Pastrami and a pie, all washed down with a East Ciders Blood Orange Cider. 

I can’t endorse a sleep number mattress in particular, but by god do I ever second the “spend a decent amount on a mattress” sentiment. As you said, the cost is really not a lot when you consider how much time you’ll spend on it. As a quality of life expenditure, a good mattress has gotta be at or near the top of the…

After my stand mixer, it’s my favorite small appliance. A million times better than the Instant Pot. Think of it as a small, high powered oven, or a microwave for crispy foods that should never go in the microwave.

We live in SoCal, and we already have our first post-pandemic meal planned at a legendary small steak house in Newport Beach (very 1960s retro; it was a favorite of John Wayne’s and still has his favorite booth). We’re inviting friends and renting a limo, and damn the expense (we’re looking a dropping close to a grand…

I have a bunch of sour cream that I need to use up (forgot that I had bought a squeeze bottle for tacos a few weeks back), so I’m trying to find time to make a coffee cake. We’re still doing the cookie jar thing which has been working out well, but I offered to make said cake next time it’s my turn to make cookies. My…

do yourself a favor and make it with bacon grease sometime. I always save my bacon drippings and have a nice jar in my fridge. It spreads like butter but makes a more interesting flavor for you grilled cheese and makes it much more filling.

I’ve been craving a fresh sub sandwich from somewhere like (yes, yes, I know) Subway, Jimmy Johns, Jersey Mike’s (or, preferably, Penn Station or something slightly more local, like SSS).

Never had an ant problem where they were interested in butter, but I’ve had the displeasure of cleaning up after a cat who ate an entire stick of butter once.

How about pandicnic? I feel like it needed to drop a syllable to roll well. Possible side effect includes it sounding a little bit lewder.

“There are people out there like me that aren’t able to do the exercise that would be required to make long standing weight loss possible either do to medical reason, medical side effects, living conditions, ect.”

Politics not aside, and I am also a fat person, so reel it back, lunchbox.
