So the soup I was making tomorrow, I now think I’ll low and slow onions and garlic in the oven. I was going to sacrifice the chicken and turkey bones in the freezer too. Some charred and diced jalapenos for a little heat. Half-n-half with butter for texture and richness. Need to figure out a good salt component.

Cleaning, storage, and the cutting board used have made a huge difference in my ability to keep a knife in good condition. Its left me more confident in more expensive knives as well.

The REAL question. Coffee is obvious, but what about Kahlua?

We like to slice them, throw in oven, and then use for dipping in fresh hot cheese.

I’ve thought HARD (no pun intneded, but...) about the whole “step” thing and my working theory is it has absolutely nothing to do with actually getting it on with step-relatives, and its more about inappropriate encounters in general. Its WAY easier to setup and establish in a format that short-cuts story/narrative,…

A single pull up...

Better deal for the Arcade1Up “Big Blue” cabinet...

I googled my address looking for the general value of our house with how prices have been going - just because of a discussion on the topic with wife, not because we were selling. What followed was a rabbit hole of new paranoia as the sheer amount of information that was EASILY accessible, was far beyond what I had…

Yes to all of this. The absolute only time I regret using smoked paprika, was when I *semi-recently* went overboard experimenting with a vegan styled curry, it just didn’t work, though to be fair, it may have clashed with some of the other adjustments I made that were terrible ideas. Its one of my Mac&Cheese…

As a creative, we don’t all necessarily want Mac either, I know I don’t, and will stay as far away from Windows 11 as possible if they are going the Mac route, because as you said, if I want Mac, I’d get one.

I used to do it like this, not I do it like my wife.

Cut in half.
Scoop out.
Flat side down.
Use knife to shave off skin from top to bottom, make sure to go deep enough to get rid of any green portion.
You’ll be left with a bowl of just the flesh.
Dice as fine as you choose.

Eh I say. Eh.

My experience is different than described. When I’m googling for a recipe, its for a QUICK recipe, when I find one, there usually isn’t anything valuable such as trial and error in the wall of text, just stories about the warm feeling and memories of mom (shot out to the dads…

Just an FYI, if you go down the rabbit hole for Pokemon cards on Amazon, be SUPER careful, people like to steam open packets, remove rare cards, and reseal the packages. Make sure it is SOLD by Amazon.

I used to be big into shoes, but bowed out over frustration of bots always cleaning out the new releases - even in my size (17/18). Watching as the problem has been “mostly” solved with various ticket systems, I’m shocked pre-orders are still so hard for retailers to handle (not just the new consoles, but this goes…

As someone still salty about what Apple has done to headphone ports in the industry, I have to ask, how valid even IS the excuse of being water resistant?

Male chiming in, so don’t take me at experienced on the subject, but love problem solving.

I’d wager you could achieve what you are discussing with the proper “bands” structure and cover it with less noticeable to men material, something similar to Nike’s Flywire system. It wouldn’t be the wire they use as its very…

I’m fortunate, to save money we moved my son and my daughter (now 5) to the school she teaches at. This has meant we have had some on site help with social distancing while my daughter has been able to at least talk to slightly befriend a *few* other kids. With that said, the situation is the situation, and we have to…

Definitely start small. I’ve done emulation since downloading SNES ROMs over dial-up, and I’ve built arcade cabinets and systems before so I am pretty experienced already. The biggest mistake you can make is going too big, too fast - you’ll spend so much extra money. Starting small (again I used an Ion iCade) - meant…

Do it! You can go big or small, simple or intricate. I found that as we got further and further along, my son started getting idea creep and wanted to put LEDs here or designs there. I opened up to him ideas for my arcade and problems I was having to help push the problem solving. Kept his wheels turning while the…

Before the heat became a bit much we went on daily walks. during those walks the discussion centered around a few things - and one would be “what he would do” with/to the arcade. I could EASILY smash through the project solo, but I wanted him to feel as though it was also “his” and something he did with “dad”. He even…
