What about putting the delicates in a deep fry basket or sieve and just doing a 1 second dip? Would that work as well do you think? Because I’m thinking you could do 1 second, then if you thought it needed another hit or two before rinsing with cold water, that would be an option.

I was quite shocked when I was at a con and some actors from a show I was watching mentioned they had to change the decor on set because a museum which owned a famous artwork sued them for having a poster of that famous painting on the wall without paying them a licensing fee.

Copyright is out of control. I personally…

Copyright automatically happens when you create an original work. You don’t need to do anything to copyright something, you can at best do something to document the creation. You write a poem 2 minutes from now, BAM you have a copyrighted work.

My friend has dropped the $ to rent the local fair grounds this Saturday, and is setting up a drive in to celebrate her 42nd birthday. We’re seeing Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and Galaxy Quest.

I ... like their tuna salad kits. The crackers could be better but they’re a perfect 3pm “protein now or collapse” snack.

Aimee had me at the pumpkin spice donut. And now I want to go to the mom & pop bakery that has the best donuts in my area and get some. They do mix a little pumpkin puree into the batter along with the spices; the donuts are great with coffee, apple cider, or PSLs.

On the subject of pumpkin spice oatmeal I’m sitting…

I upgraded to the 4K and HDR tier of Netflix and I did not like the results. The new shows that were recently out like Lost in Space and Sabrina were not in 4K they were just in HDR. (Dancing Queen stirring Alyssa Edwards from RuPaul’s drag race was the only 4K show that was released while my subscription was…

The tunnels below the basement, probably. 

I think I have figured that part out. The potion is made out of a dead person. When William 1st appeared he described himself as a “… friend.” When Christina was describing what happened to him this episode she said that he was left for dead and she rescued him. What I think she means is he was actually mortally…

I grew up using only Miracle Whip and thought mayo was too strong and rich. But, due to a lot of take-out subs, I grew to like mayo a lot more. I went through a phase where I’d have both on hand but my use of MW kept declining. The decisive point was my deviled eggs recipe (my smoked chipotle deviled eggs recipe). I…

I think he’s saying the man was born with defective lenses in his eyes, the cure for that is the same as cataract surgery: implanting replacement lenses. In other words, 100% normal vision now.

It’s like pre-existing conditions but applied to an easily correctible birth defect. That’s nuts.

After getting one to try before they go away, I would really prefer a tostada (ALSO GONE NOW kthx) to this thing. Well, maybe if I’d asked for beans instead of the nasty meat it would have hit better. Personally I think that the shredded chicken that’s also going away would have been great filling!

You can now get those mini marshmallows by themselves in a small cylinder perfect for dispensing as topping on any hot drink of your choice. They should be next to the cocoa in your average grocery store.

Very good point. With McD’s if they get overwhelmed they tend to rush the potato products through the fryer quickly. I’ve definitely gotten soggy, undercooked ones before. With Arby’s, they usually drop the potato cakes into the fryer as you order them and they don’t usually rush it.

Great now I want some.

FYI they usually sell it in jars around Christmas.

I bought a jar of horsey sauce one year when they were selling it at Christmas, and then forgot it was in the cupboard until about 6 months past the use date.

Honestly they balance the meat and other fillings in their Reuben sandwich really well and the meat is more flavorful than most places offering. I would definitely put their corned beef on the shopping list.

However, Manic Otti, I think the point is you can get a pound of luncheon meat in a safe drive through instead…

Their potato cakes are excellent. They are basically 110% thickness McDonald’s hash brown patties.

Well the other night I suddenly realized it’s been more than 6 months since I had a donut. My favorite family owned donut factory has a drive through and pre-pandemic was 24/7 except major holidays. (Imagine... 3am and you ask for a cinnamon roll and the response is ‘just a sec, we’re icing them now’). Anyway they…

Ok I just ran out and got a Mexican pizza and some shredded chicken quesadillas before I forget and they’re gone. The pizza was bad, I may make a garden salad tomorrow and chop up the leftovers and top the salad with it. The ‘dias will be sorely missed.
