I got very sick of Blue Apron’s unnecessarily complicated recipes, plus they kept making bad substitutions on me. I like Plated better for variety and tendency to have some simpler options, though nothing’s as easy as a one-skillet pasta dish. I’m trying to find a compromise here somewhere (I just turned down to 2…

Haha, fair enough!

If I’m going to be cooking at someone else’s house, there are a couple of tools I always pack, and my thermometer is one of them. I don’t understand why so few people have one. There are other ways to tell if meat is done, but a thermometer is the easiest, especially if you don’t want to overcook it.

I also feel like free weights feel better to do, and are more fun, which is more likely to make a person want to keep doing it. Machines are really boring. Squatting with a full size barbell on your shoulders feels powerful, even without much weight on it.

When I’m really stressed out I get them. I know I sometimes sleep walked / talked when I was kid, because my mom would tell me, but as an adult, I didn’t know I had night terrors until I scared the shit out of my boyfriend one night when he stayed over, shouting at the ceiling. Whoops. Luckily, they don’t happen too…

I think I might make a few hundred molasses cookies this month. I know I want to make a bunch to take to Christmas with the family. I know I want to make some for friend parties and to feed my coworkers. I want to eat some now, though. Maybe I could just make a batch or two every weekend until January.

Haha, that would work. Yeah, I was annoyed by the flushable head disintegrating, but also happy because it probably meant it was *actually* flushable and wouldn’t ruin my day later down the road.

When I threw out my disgusting toilet brush when I moved (it was kinda nice in a brushed metal base, but ewwww and also rusty and I didn’t want to put it in my car) I bought the scrubbing bubbles disposable toilet wand. I’m not sure how much I like the flushable heads — they dissolve a little too fast and turn to…

Oh yes. It was creepy, and goofy, and so memorable. The whole movie, really. I was tickled to find the soundtrack on Spotify just now.

He felt like a classic Disney villain!

I agree with both of these points, and add a third:

I don’t think people give dogs enough credit. Hang out with a dog with as much personality as mine has for awhile, and you won’t need anyone to tell you they think much like we do.

Agreed. Krispy Kreme is bullshit. Cheap grocery store glazed donuts are great. I’ve never experienced a hole-in-the-wall donut joint, but my guess is heaven.

Thanks! I’m a ways off from doing any of this, lol. I’m taking it slow in Moon.

Is it still like it used to be, where pokemon breed is determined entirely by the female’s breed? And if so, does any foreign language pokemon work as the other? Maybe I can get something in wonder trade

Cool! That’s what I figured (the completely random) but I’ve never looked into ANY of the breeding stuff in pokemon, and I wasn’t sure if there was anything else there to know about.

Can you breed into a shiny? I lucked into a female popplio, and I may feel the need to breed some more and share the cutesy seal love, especially if I have a chance at a shiny in the process.

Indeed. Would be fun to look at, less fun to play. Ah, well.

I loathe Monopoly, but I was still momentarily tempted by that Steven Universe set. :)

OK, that was my suspicion. I don’t remember too much of Deathly Hallows, I’ll have to do some rereading.
