How’d you get out? My wife and I would love to move, but my career isn’t exactly in high demand.

I took an entire semester long class on paradise lost, can’t recommend it enough! There’s a reason they say “Milton was of Lucifer’s side without realizing it”, the guys said his goal in writing it was to justify God’s actions to mankind. Definitely doesn’t read that way!

Thank you potato

Same, but then Tuesday is my “Sunday”

Also this dude’s head is for sure not right

/r/kitchenconfidential was my spot, seriously miss that. No going back though, needless to say

So you’re saying I get to be fabulous AND not have to go to work? Fuck yeah! Don’t think I love the idea of having a cloaca though

I’d put Trick of the Tail on there too!

When we started dating, my soon-to-be-wife (later this week!) made me a scarf. A couple years later she crocheted me a queen sized blanket. Those two things are genuinely my prized possessions. I’m a sucker for handmade gifts like that.

The greatest gift she ever gave me though was sticking by my side through cancer treatment. I’ll never be able to repay that love and kindness but God knows I’ll spend the rest of my life loving her

So American cheese (the real stuff) is actually real cheese. It’s basically just cheese with an emulsifying salt added to it, usually in the form of sodium citrate or similar. This salt is what makes American cheese melt so well, you can actually buy it and melt it into other cheeses to make them melt like American cheese. Or you can make it yourself by mixing baking soda and lemon juice

Mise en place is essential in my mind and one of the most important skills I learned early on in culinary school. At home if you don’t want to dirty a ton of dishes, you can organize ingredients (veggie ones anyway, still need bowls for spices/liquids) into small piles on your cutting board. Then just grab a bench scraper or the side of your knife and toss the ingredients in as needed.

Also, get a kitchen scale. You won’t need it all the time but it’s so much easier to just stick a pot on top of a scale and add 500 ml of chicken stock than it is to have to measure 2 cups in a separate container. This is especially good if you’re looking to blanche/simmer something in a flavorful liquid like stock or broth

I’ve dealt with brain cancer on and off for most of my life, and for a while things were looking pretty bad. I’m good now, but I think I came to terms with my own mortality pretty early on (around when I was 16). As someone now rapidly approaching 30, if I were to go tomorrow I feel I’d be OK with that, though I would worry about how my fiancée would take it (or not, I’d be dead so I wouldn’t care about much of anything). I’m still looking forward to many more adventures but when my time is up, so be it.

My parents still have these! Lots of nostalgia there

Dude, I wish I lived in a civilized country. My cancer treatment would have cost somewhere in the range of $5 million without insurance. Healthcare is a human right

You’re missing a few zeroes there I think

Png is cool, but have you considered .cr2?

Bro, I’m 28 and I feel this way. It’s like I became uncool overnight

That was a really good read. I never realized men taking their queer kids to hooters was a thing, good to know at least the servers had the kids’ backs

Like this?

Ratshit batshit dirty old twat! 69 assholes tied in a knot! Hooray, lizardshit, FUCK!
