For me, it’s when I put the onions into the hot olive oil... It always gets my wife’s attention. By the time the garlic gets into the mix, I’m already a happy smeller.

So in other words... “You can eat it, but it tastes like shit!”

Dill + Sour Cream = Best dip ever!

I got my first infestation this month... They got into my 25lb rice container.... Grrrr

I’d suggest simmering the bay leaf in the water you’re going to add to the rice for about 30 minutes before cooking the rice. Throw the bay leaf in with the rice still, of course. That way you get the whole gamut of Bay Leaf flavor. Even pressure cooking the leaf probably won’t cut it. I say this as a full supporter…

Bay leaves are all about umami. They’re little catalysts that give your stew or beans that little something extra. They’re nearly worthless alone, but paired with good food, are magic. Also, they apparently have a lot of power to detoxify your body.

Meh, if the guy’s making league minimum he’s pulling in a couple mil annually. At that point, it’s like someone making 50K a year being fined $250.

Just looked up his pay... it’s like someone making $50K a year being fined about $45. (He makes over $11m a year on his current contract)

In other words, $10K isn’t even…

WARNING: That generic digital projector is NOT a 1080p projector. It’s an 800X600 projector that compresses to get to 1080p. It won’t look nearly as sharp as a 1080p, and you can get somewhat better resolution for less money if you shop around.

Wait... so no one at the White House participated in this bogus “strike”???

My opinion of the White House staff nudged up a teeny tiny bit.

As far as I can tell, no one at my company did either. They’re adults who had work to do. I asked one of the women about it, and she just made a disgusted look and said that the…

I just went from electric to gas with my smoker. I also have a carpathian rig for cold smoke. All in all, I’m making some really good brisket these days. :)

Aww... is that a tear of rage I see as you shake your effeminate little fist? Don’t cry honey! I’m sure you’ll get a trophy for participation! It’ll be a pair of dainty little jeans... with holes ripped in all the right places and no pockets in back! You’ll love the look, of that I’m certain! So dry your tears. We…

If you’re doing CB&C, you should go all out & do a Minnesota style Boiled Dinner!

Did you do any finishing of said brisket in a smoker?

As important as ODO number are, I’m surprised auto makers haven’t started encrypting them or something. But then, laziness by manufacturers over the most basic security measures no longer surprise me after the IoT hack last October.

Uh, did you say yoot?

What is a yoot?

I found a gem of a local dealer when buying my wife’s car. When it’s time for mine, I’ll definitely go there first.

The funny part is that I had one of those shady types who “forgot” to call me back for two weeks. He was astounded when I told him I had bought a car the day after, and that I would probably never deal…

Awww! Little girl is trying to fat-shame! How sweet! You wear jeans that fit your body... Mmmm hmmm.... I’m sure you tell yourself that while you’re taping that tuck. There are plenty of jeans that aren’t skinny jeans that fit all sorts of frames. YOU just want to look pretty. And hey! That’s OK. I don’t mind. Be…

Plus, you’re paying and additional $7200 for the vehicle by having a 72 month payment instead of a 48.

Then move somewhere you can afford. It isn’t rocket surgery.

The only advice I can give is this: Don’t get attached to a car until after you buy it. If that guy won’t budge, find something else. I know that sucks, but it’s not worth getting an ulcer over a car.
