You have posted this elsewhere as well. What are you talking about?

Watch more Top Chef (is that still on?). Geoduck is one of the “weird” staples.

Ding ding ding! Yes, primarily an electrician. I don’t know why that escaped me.

You do not have to go. Not even a little tiny bit. You owe this woman NOTHING. Choose yourself this mother’s day. What can she do? Throw a nasty little fit? Fuck her for not protecting you. You are not obligated to see either of them.

I have a monster for a mother, a passive aggressive twat for a mother in law, and we just hit a year of trying to get pregnant with no luck. My mother is cut off and husband 100% won’t remember to do anything for his mom. I’m going to “celebrate” infertility and advanced maternal age (38!) and my refusal to spend…

Thank you! You have answered my question about WHY I always need to add more flour (been measuring by volume) and you provided a roux to liquid correct proportion. Not that the pudding thick gravy was bad, but it wasn’t really gravy.

My last kitchen job we kept a small pan of premade roux during the Thanksgiving season. We did not refrigerate it. It was fine for a few days, scoop a little bit, add stock, fast gravy for whatever.

Are you a backstage person? My husband is, there is apparently just ONE woman in the local IATSE chapter. And she’s a climber. I can‘t remember the right name for what she does, but it’s up in the rafters and this makes the cranky old guy who hates everyone, hate her more.

This cast recording is one of a half dozen albums I have on my iPad. Singing along to Blow Gabriel Blow in the shower is the best.

Sorry but it’s actually TV Guide ;)

I bought a brand new knife a few months ago and cut myself while washing it after using it the first time. Getting used to really sharp knives is quite the learning curve.

I got a good tip on a Skillet article last weekish. You do the cut in half and twist, but instead of whacking the knife into the pit to remove it (my usual method), you poke a paring knife through the skin on the back of the pit side and just pop the pit out. Same amount of effort, less chance a tiny distraction will…

I bet if one of your sisters showed up here, it would eye opening.

I’m not really sure what’s going on here, but I like it.

You don’t owe her anything. Literally nothing.

Celebrate the fact that YOU are a Bad Ass Motherfucker. Acknowledging that your family sucks is so hard. And you still get a “mother” in there. Watch some Sam Jackson movies. You deserve it!

Lol

Nope. Not at all. +1 for reading comprehension.

This is the dream! Weeping from hot sauce and fresh seafood in a tropical location! Endless rum! They should pay you to be some sort of tourism ambassador.

Tyvm! I’ve been eyeballing US Virgin Islands and Key West, but Hawaii is on the list now too.
