Nice! The flour and water thickens it into more of a gravy, but I could see skipping that part and just getting the flavors together straight away.

Plain white vinegar! It’s the only time I’ve ever cooked with the stuff. To be fair though, white wine vinegar would probably also be good.

I’m guessing Belgian? Ha, I've never had it with endive, we always used romaine!

The weirdest dish my ex’s family used to make and love as an easy meal, they called Belgian Dish. His dad’s family is Belgian, so this was a nostalgia dish, but I’m guessing the name was too hard or not that important. It features a gravy made from bacon and white vinegar, which is strange but good.

I’ve never met a pastry cutter that wasn’t just a bunch of loops of wire, which doesn’t seem like it would be very good at cutting chicken. Maybe it is, I dunno. I’m still gonna have to get out a knife to chop my onions, because chicken salad without onions is criminal. Maybe I should just buy one of those chopper…

Oh gosh, I was obsessed with Weird Al when I was maybe 12. I think he’s just the right kind of goofy for kids to latch onto.

Yeah, that seems like a mistake not including the adapter. I’m not an iPhone user, but I have a Pixel 2XL, and I’ve braided paracord around my usb-c adapter and made it into a keychain so I can keep track of it.

Or stick it in/on the baggie!

I think it might have been McCraw’s!

I don’t recognize the packaging, but it looks like the same basic thing I’m thinking of :)

Does anyone remember those big rectangular, really thin, wrapped in waxed paper, “saltwater taffy” bars? It was brittle and you could break it into pieces really easily, but it softened in your mouth to something a bit more taffy-like. I think they were striped down the length in different colors.

I can’t cat-sleep like that, that’s impressive as hell. But I always feel like the very best version of myself if I allow myself like 10-11 hours of sleep. This never happens during the week, naturally, because I’d like some dang evening to myself. But Saturday and Sunday morning are blissful, and I could sleep in…

Yeah, we’re not baking here, so the exact ingredients will be less fussy. I say go for the full tablespoon to replace some of the rum :P

Oh really? Does it just fade pigmented scars? I have a lot of ice pick scarring, I’d be interested to know if rosehip oil helps with that at all.

That’s awesome that it works for you! My skin doesn’t like coconut oil (I suspect it’s what broke my feet out when I tried it as a moisturizer), but it drinks up jojoba oil like you wouldn’t believe. I get mild eczema in the winter, but if I put like a tablespoon of jojoba in some bathwater, it makes an entire world…

My friend has a weirdo cat. She’ll approach you and rub on you, she’ll happily play and act all friendly. But if you pet her, she hisses and scratches. But she doesn’t move away from you at all, she just keeps hanging out and rubbing on you after she’s drawn blood, like she wasn’t actually annoyed or freaked out.

I worked a good chunk of my college time in the food court, and then in the related (run by the same company) library coffee shop. Leftover sandwiches and other in-house made products (cookies!) destined for the trash were bagged immediately and without remorse. For inventory reasons I usually asked my boss before I…

It’s true!

I wish I’d have figured it out in college! That’s awesome. At the point I should have been having second thoughts and exploring, I dug my heels in and went NO I’M FINISHING THIS DEGREE IF IT KILLS ME

I wish I’d have waited a year or two as well! My mom was *convinced* that if I took a break I’d never do it, that it’s NOT OK to take a break. But I was not ready for college in the least, I bombed my first year SPECTACULARLY (including *forgetting* I was taking a class until it was too late to fix it. I still have…
