TheAlbatross,

I’m similarly minded. A friend and I have talked about doing this for some time, but it’s such an old joke I sorta fear it wanders into the same territory as asking the grocery clerk if the item that didn’t scan is free.

TheAlbatross, (edited )

Yeah, during a majority of the year. On the rare weekend where schedules align such that a buncha 30-somethings can get together and party?

Gatorade. Or Brodes.

Everything in moderation, my friend. Especially moderation.

TheAlbatross,

Thanks for the concern, but I think you read my comment backwards.

TheAlbatross, (edited )

Most of the hangover is just dehydration, so the Gatorade really does help a lot. Pedialyte or a different sports drink would do similarly, but also getting in shape, sleeping right, drinking plenty of water on the days you’re not drinking helps mitigate the issues with a little indulgence just fine.

But, everyone is different so your milage may vary.

TheAlbatross,

I find dried mushrooms are tastier and they add umami to the broth, but it adds cooking time, so it’s really a matter of preference.

Bookshelves don’t have to just be for books, either! Ours is a mixed setup with a few plants, books, of course, some video games since it’s near the TV and boardgames. We also put a few eye-catching objects on it to add some color and inspire conversations.

Edit: BookS, plural! Though, I bet it could be striking if you put one single book on the shelf and filled the rest of it with other objects.

TheAlbatross,

Just to add onto this, I managed to get a print from a famous artist for around $25 and frame it simply for around $35.

This was pre-pandemic, mind you, so it may not be that inexpensive now, but look around and ask for a framing quote at a Michael’s or better, local frame or photo shop, if you have one nearby.

TheAlbatross,

To parrot some of the other comments, the holes needed to hang artwork and photos are very easily covered up with a lil spackle (or even toothpaste!) and paint, but also command hooks work very well for hanging things even up to ten pounds, and come off cleanly if you remove them slowly and according to the instructions.

I’ve hung paintings in spots and later decided they don’t look right there and moved em. Sometimes it’s helpful to put it up to see how it works in the space and move it later.

O! foolish male lifestyle influencers
Woe to your machinations and merch stores
It is I who yearns to be the homemaker

TheAlbatross,

Hahahah in my friend’s defense, I can’t argue that sauce doesn’t make a food wet! I guess I just like wet foods.

They wouldn’t eat soup, either, so at least they’re consistent!

TheAlbatross,

Ooooh yes soup when you’re sick is wonderful! I dunno if it helps any, but I always have copious amounts of soup and broth when I have a respiratory illness. I hope you feel better and enjoy the soup!

TheAlbatross,

Once new someone who wouldn’t eat sauce or sauced things. Said it was too wet and it was gross.

It made me realize just how many sauces there are…

TheAlbatross,

They’re closed so the people working there can have time off and spend time with their family and loved ones.

TheAlbatross,

Fish in aspic sounds similar to gefilte fish, which is universally terrible in every jar, can, or whatever you can find at the store.

I wish I could tell you how, but my grandmother would make gefilte by hand annually and it was delightful. Slightly tart, slightly sweet, bouncy texture and bursting with delicious whitefish flavor and lightly spiced.

So while I don’t have a recipe, I know it can be done and maybe looking into recipes for homemade gefilte fish can help you figure out how.

You’re damn right that a lotta stuffings end up undersalted. And I’m not gonna tell you the boxed stuffing isn’t tasty. (My “nightmare” comment is totally hyperbolic and flippant, but we’re having fun here I hope)

But I have a friend who makes it with sausage and sage herbed brown butter and I’m confident it’s a box beater. Heck of a lot more work, though.

TheAlbatross,

There’s a part of me that wants to suggest recipes to save you from this nightmare, but your ignorance is your bliss and it comes from a readily available, cheap and easy to prepare cardboard box.

Truly, a conundrum.

TheAlbatross,

I thought AI posts were banned from Risa, and rightfully so.

TheAlbatross,

We put our rice in the freezer for a day to kill any bugs

TheAlbatross,

My boyfriend said he sees David Byrne as a role model.

A clearly anxious man who finds it within him to love freely while being his own goofy self and speaking his mind.

I found that really appealing and now we dance along while singing his songs in the living room.

TheAlbatross,

It’s not really here or there, but when I was a young child, I saw Star Trek: The Next Generation before Reading Rainbow, so my parents had to explain how actors worked when I was baffled how the blind man was teaching me how to read.

I did love Reading Rainbow, though, and still read regularly, probably in part thanks to Levar Burton.

TheAlbatross,

This just made me plenty hungry for kugel…

I’ve never made one with cheddar, though, and I don’t think I’ll start.

TheAlbatross,

I’ve gotten a lotta compliments on my Airism boxer briefs from Uniqlo, there’s a no accolade brand, David Archy, that makes some solid micromodal underwear and I really like the look and feel of some of the MeUndies ones.

Get a pair, see which ones you like best, then slowly get more over a few months. Eventually, you have a whole drawer of nice underwear.

TheAlbatross,

Men, you can buy manly underwear that shows off your hog and ass. It’s not expensive and it’s very comfortable.

Please, get rid of the holy articles. Or cut them into rags or something. You’re not doing any favors for yourselves.
