I’ve actually had cookbooks on my Christmas list for years, and no one ever buys them. For *me,* at least, they’re a perfect gift. I love reading cookbooks, but I will never buy one for myself, because I always think I could just look a recipe up on the internet.  But yeah, it needs to be a specific book that you know

The Sailor Moon costume looks like it was designed by one of those AI drawing programs.  It’s ALMOST right but just kind of off and it gets worse the longer you look at it.

There have been a number of “Limbo likes” in the last month, but they haven’t got anything on the number of “Stardew Valley likes” that I’ve been seeing.

I have Cinemark’s plan and at this point it is absolutely a sunk cost fallacy but I’m going forward anyway. I have something like 20 credits, but my wife and I only ever make it to the theater for the big blockbusters, like Marvel or Star Wars movies. Now, we often bring a bunch of friends, (who pay me normal ticket

No, you can summon before you beat him.  I had a friend help me through him the first time.  I agree with the post that says he’s there to teach you parrying, but I find the ministers right after that fight to be way more effective teachers.  My friend helped me through, but a little while after, I restarted and,

I’m really glad I read this article.  I was going to pick it up to play with my four-year-old daughter.  Now... maybe not quite yet.

I just tried, and it seems the promo code is not working.

I’ve bee really curious about this for a long time. My wife does a killer Alfredo sauce, but it’s a lot of work, and from time to time I’ve wished I could just toss all the ingredients in a bag and let them melt and meld together.

I vote for a roast, because it’s relevant to my interests. I’ve tried it a few times and it’s never been BAD, but it’s also never been really amazing. I’m open to suggestions.

Sous Vide ham is super easy and really, really good. I was not a ham fan until I tried it in the sous vide.

You know, I just said in another post that I’d tried pot roast, and you just perfectly explained to me why it didn’t come out as well as I’d hoped. Thanks!

Any of it and all of it. It all sounds amazing. I might be hungry, though.

RPGs and Visual Novels have kind of been my bread and butter since I had my daughter. And the switch version of any game is great because it’s easier to play while holding a sleeping child if you have a joycon in each hand, rather than wrapping both hands around a tiny controller.

The Echo has been a lifesaver for my baby. There’s a Brown Noise track on Amazon Prime Music that has been amazing for getting her to sleep at night. The only problem is that if we put it on a loop, for some reason it loses connection during the night and the Echo loudly announces, “SORRY, I’M HAVING TROUBLE PLAYING

I’ve done this. As many have pointed out, the slowness of it makes it useless if the baby is hungry RIGHT NOW, but my daughter spends a couple days a week with her grandparents, and I always make up a few bottles from frozen breast milk to send over. The sous vide is nice for that, because I can put the bags in the

Every year I pick two dishes that I want to master. By the end of the year, I want to be able to make this thing to restaurant quality or better. In 2015 I picked steak and garlic bread. In 2016 it was a hamburger and an elevated grilled cheese sandwich.

Change.org is not a place where reality exists. I think it’s become a place where people believe that if they wish REALLY HARD and get five hundred of their closest friends and Twitter followers to wish with them, they can completely change the fabric of the universe, no matter how insane their demands are.

I think of it as improvisational jazz. The bread, cheese, fat, and heat are the base melody. Everything else can be adjusted, and as long as you have the core right, you’re probably going to have something pretty good.

So, I wanted to try this, because my wife wanted crispy bacon for a crunch element on a cheeseburger, but... how long do I broil it? My oven has a high and low setting... which do I use?

If I weren’t a fan of the texture of an English Muffin, would something in the neighborhood of a large biscuit work? (Thinking Grands from the freezer section)
