  1. Fun story. When my older son was around 16 months old, we took him to Wurstfest with us. We had one of those leashes that had a little monkey-backpack at his end. Anyway, my wife and I were dancing and left him with his uncle. So the uncle goes out near the dance floor with my kid on a leash, and my kid walks up to this woman dancing in a durndle and sticks his hand up her dress right into her stuff. She abruptly turns around and follows the leash to my kid's uncle's hands who is furiously and apologetically trying to reel in his nephew. We're so proud.
  2. I mean, I bought a 4 lb bag of rice today when I probably didn't need that much rice. But that's about all I'm going to do. If it goes south, I'll start cracking skulls for more rice I suppose.
  3. This is your answer. Make a smoothie with papaya in it and include some seeds. This is from my wife, who is an 11 year breast cancer survivor. It was the only thing that worked. Good luck. We're all counting on you.
  4. I don't know if the Dead & Co. shows are like this, but at Phish, if you stared at the band, all the movement behind them made it feel like you were on one of those immersive rides. I had to grab onto something a few times. Early 80s shows are sleepers.
  5. I'll eat it fresh. I'll eat it cold. I'll eat that shit until I'm old. Luby's is #1. Kraft might as well be second. I've made some fancy-ass mac 'n' cheese over the years, but Kraft is just damned satisfying.
  6. "It's not just bad people and criminals." She did use the word "extradited," right?
  7. How did he do research when Youtube didn't exist back then?
  8. They come out of the gates hot on this one. Not sure how it is overall. Edit: Holy shit, this show.
  9. It has an excellent corporate structure, and they give you the tools to be your own boss.
  10. Both of these posts are true. You just need a T connection in black-iron pipe. Id' suggest a couple of ball valves at each termination point. I am not a plumber, but I've had one run an exterior line and know what he did. Also, the yellow thread tape is for gas.
  11. I use silicone baking rounds under my pans and my six-year-old Induction cooktop still looks brand new. As for pans, apart from my collection of cast iron and carbon steel, the Cuisinart French Classic stainless is fantastic and not unreasonable. The Cuisinart MultiClad Pro is virtually identical, but made in China (so probably more expensive now). I mean, All-Clad is great if you like the handles, but I don't care for them. But the Cuisinart passes the heavy enough to be used as a weapon test.
  12. Ads are just an excuse to take a piss. $2.95 per month for Hulu and $8.95 for Netflix is worth my minute or two of time to fiddle around on my phone.
  13. Old post, but I should not be as aroused as I am right now.
  14. Great jumped-up, bald-headed, Jesus-Palamena! That video answered all of my questions in 1 minute. Would eat.
  15. Yeah, my kids still love frozen rolls. A good canned biscuit base on an egg casserole or, even better, those frozen hash browns as a base is some pretty greasy good eats.
  16. Did she put the beans, rolls and cream of chicken in a casserole and bake it? Or just the beans and soup?
  17. One of my staples growing up was a chicken and rice casserole with four-ish frozen chicken breasts, two cups of rice, two cans of cream of mushroom soup, and two cups of water. Season liberally with Seasoned Salt (Morton's Nature Seasons), cover in foil and bake at 350 for about 1.5 hours. I made it for years after I got married and really like the cream of mushroom/rice combination. Fancy it up by adding a can of mushrooms. I recognize it for what it is (mid-century casserole/back of soup can recipe fare) and haven't made it in years. But it outkicked the coverage for some time after it should have been retired.
  18. Right. I'm aware of aspic and recall the early Simpsons episode where everyone brought jello salad with marshmallows to Mr. Burns's party.
