Nope. Was thinking it would be a pretty cool project.
For someone else.  

OK I know it’s possible to make gravy beforehand, it was more of a joke, thinking you have no turkey in your turkey gravy. Of all the things you could save time on, gravy isn’t one I’d prioritize. It’s literally 20 minutes of time with 5 minutes of actual work; two minutes for the roux, 3 minutes stirring in the…

My whole family is the “leftovers taste better” type, so I make my dressing the day before and put the pan in the fridge, covered. Same with the mashed potatoes. I get half-way through the mac and cheese recipe (cooking noodles, making the rue base and melting the cheese in, mixing into the noodles) then put that in…

I use an enzyme-based drain maintenance liquid once a month and have never even had a slow drain, even in the kitchen where our grease discipline isn’t the best. I really like ZEP products; this and a good trap on the shower drain even keeps the tub clog-free with four people with very long hair in the house.

So he’ll be back out there “protecting property” again during the riots tonight since he didn’t do anything wrong, right?

Also, now that gun nuts believe they’ve been told that “they were coming right for me” is a valid legal defense for murder, how many of them are going out with the express idea of “shooting up some…

So Consumer Reports is relying on subscriber reports via surveys?

THANK YOU. Now I feel less weird about having screamed at all the children abusing their privilege by coming up to my door on Halloween dressed as Squid Game characters.

I never forget to buy them but the one thing I do seem to forget every year is putting rolls in the oven. I get so worked up over the other, more complicated dishes (timing them so they’re done around the same time, not letting things burn, adding ingredients at the right time) that when I finally put everything out…

Meijer (Kroger) has their store-brand turkeys for $0.33/lb. with no minimum purchase. Got a 15 lb turkey for ~$5, that’s good enough for me. If you’re feeling like a millionaire, Butterballs are $.99/lb; no reason to sweat for a “free” turkey by spending a ton of money on other things or giving away private data on…

Their consciousness expanded so much that their brain fell through the cracks.

“Delivering mail (offering telephone service, paving roads, stringing power lines, take your pick) to rural areas is not practically feasible everywhere and won’t be for decades, and offers a bad ROI for companies.”

There are some things that should not be subject to profit motives of private enterprise and belong in…

Efficiency is the child of laziness and accountability.

If you think CF still gives you too much food, order takeout. Just this Friday, I ordered the Steak Diane and Herb Crusted Salmon combo platter ($25).

Oatmeal raisin cookies, Raisin Bran Crunch. That’s it.

Filed away for the next time someone wants to cite pilot testimony about UFO sightings because “they’re experts.”

During her first prenatal visit, her doctors said they weren’t recommending the vaccine; at a later appointment, they changed course and offered it to her on the spot. It seemed like a fast switch...

Actual size of the plant I need for the amount of dust in my house.

Coffee filters. So many near-murders at my house wen I realize I’m out of coffee filters and have to either rush to the store or use a paper towel.  I try to have one open box and one reserve box at all times.

Counterpoint: High school children are still children, and this is the equivalent of the bully’s dad who excuses his bully kid’s actions by telling people that “if the other kids didn’t want to get beat up, they should just be tougher; it’s not my kid’s fault he’s a foot taller and 50 pounds heavier.”

It’s the adults’…
