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.

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,

Have a Gatorade before and after you drink.

There ya go, fellow 30-something party people, saved ya a hangover, just hope with that no one suggests a venue change to the club at 11:30

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,

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

TheAlbatross,

Buy blocks of hot pot seasoning to keep in the freezer and cut off a small portion to taste to throw in there for a major flavor upgrade.

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.

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,

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, (edited )

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,

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.

TheAlbatross,

I feel hanging shelves and putting tchotchkes on em really add a lot of personal touches. I went with some geometric shaped shelves that I placed in a pattern on the wall and put some object de arte on em and that did a lot of good for making it feel more homey. I’m embellishing a bit on “object de arte”, I got a go set, a red wax elephant, a Star Trek ship and a small plant on there, just some stuff that relates to my interests and a few splashes of color.

If you’re nervous about putting holes in the wall, some wire frame shelving units can work, too, and you can get them in all sorts of shapes and sizes these days. If you search using the keywords “geometric” or “asymmetrical”, you can easily find some designs that help break up the flat lines of a book case style shelf that I feel adds a dynamic feel to the decoration.

Lastly, if you can splurge for it, there’s always the classic paintings. Find an artist you like and go for a print or two. I went with stuff by Kandinsky, but I really like that sort of abstract, dynamic piece, to my boyfriend’s chagrin, so maybe talk about it with the people you live with first more than I did (he’s come to tolerate it plenty fine though and we get compliments all the time so haha I win).

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,

Which episode is this, again? I’ve been showing my Trek adverse boyfriend some of the more fun episodes of DS9 after he sat down to view the baseball ep with me and I wanna show him this one! (Other suggestions gladly welcomed)

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.

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,

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

TheAlbatross,

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