Nah, works for me! ;)

It too bad that WaPo is such trash that you can't even read a GIFT article without creating an account. Sigh. I knew about PO art (our POs have a lot!), and I'd love to know more. ::shrug::

Same. I'm not a picky person, I'm a cook, I'll eat ANYTHING! However, if I'm at a restaurant paying a premium for a meal, I will NOT be content with bullshit. Restaurants get away with this because people let them. No one knows how to cook any more and think CRAP food is fine. NOPE.

AMAZING SHOT!

THIS IS VIDEO of the murder of a citizen by ICE this morning. IT IS GRAPHIC. And these fuckers need to be arrested and prosecuted. Another citizen killed on the street in broad daylight by government thugs. How much more are we going to accept, America??

RIGHT??

I totes read that as sourdough baStard. LOL Which, for me, is accurate, I have zero patience for bread making! HA! (Looks SO GOOD!!)

We're prepping, too. Checking the gennie, doing laundry (in case power goes), cooking a bit.

Yup! I'd use butternut squash, potatoes and sweet potato. I, too, love some horseradish in my mash!

YASSS! Which 3 veg? (I know which I'd choose!)

From the internet to software co's BRAINS. Sigh.

Well, YES, as a VSG (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) patient, I can assure you any significant weight loss will decimate your muscles. There's not much you can do about it. I drank SO MANY protein shakes to no avail. 10 years since, still no muscle mass. Loose skin is also an issue. Unavoidable.

My local international farmers mkt (Shoutout Buford Highway Farmer's Market!!) has and AISLE of Asian Lays. A whole AISLE. OMG. They are hella expensive but sooooo goood. Eel is one of my faves. I love hot pot, too! They even had some that were fizzy milk tea flavor...and you could taste the fizz!!

OH, you too? Yeah. 2026 can already suck a cock.

BEAUTIFUL! I do not have the patience for bread or much of any baking. I can do simple things like pie crust and biscuits. I'm a savoury cook for the most part. Pasta is my jam!

That looks AMAZING! So crusty!! Mmmmm!

::cackle::

DUH. WaPo again reporting from the Dept of DUH. Idiots.

And how about all of you freeloaders make the MEDIAN income of your constituents, with NO FREE healthcare and NO PENSIONS. How about THAT? Too much, right? Hypocrite.

YUP. We're on our own, folks. If you think the Dems will grow a pair and DO SOMETHING, you're dreaming. We have 3 more years of this SHIT. ::sob::

Absofuckinglutely. :)

MAGNIFICENT side eye! LOL

IKR? And: I DETEST videos for stupid shit like instructions. Give me a written manual, thank you very much. I think this reliance on video is due to declining literacy. If you can't write coherently and have low comprehension, a video makes sense. Idiocracy was not supposed to be a roadmap. SIGH.

Well, I'd like to see the recipe! I put all sorts of stuff into my mac n cheese (curry, chiles, seafood - NOT at the same time!) but I don't think I've used any mustard. Hopefully it's dijon? :)

Ugh, that sucks. The corporate landlords are truly awful. We are the only people in our circles that have an actual person. I had hoped that real people would be better than corps. Sigh.

Owning is worse because EVERY SINGLE REPAIR starts at $500 and goes up. At least with renting I can just call my landlord and he'll handle it. (Yes, I am lucky to have an actual person as a landlord and he's very responsible.)

::CACKLE::

YEAH, Nick happened to look up RAM the other night and almost fell out his chair at the prices. FUCK ME. Something like 64Gb (NOT A LOT) was $600. This is like the 90s - hell, this is WORSE pricing than the 90s. FUCK AI. FUCK AI. FUCK AI.

Oh, did I mention FUCK AI?

Yeah.

Fuck any and all companies who insist on in person work when remote is FINE. Food or no food, NO ONE wants to be in the office, TRUST US on this. Assholes. Expensive offices are exactly WHY companies want people there. NO OTHER REASON. Shove your "experiences".
