I just scared the shit out of my entire family

Nothing better. Pasta e fagioli over here, although I cheated and bought the bread. Gumbo this weekend maybe

Forty five minutes of liver kick techniques minimum. That's the Rutten Promise

Powerwash Simulator is my meditation time, because I've ceded the acnh island to my son. Although popping on there every few weeks and weeding/cleaning up the beach does my soul good too...

I may have to experiment at that price. The KR does a great job but when you're doing enough for cacio e pepe, your hands let you know.

What brand did you buy? My Kuhn Rikon appears to be immortal, but I've always been curious about the electric ones.

I bring a mixed six pack of interesting beer for the others and then whatever non-alcoholic drinks I'm going to get into. Gives them a chance to try new stuff, they'll stick to routine if left to their own devices

The Outer Worlds is one of the funniest video games I've ever played, especially in Dumb mode. Come for the decline of empire satire, stay for the NPC's awkwardness when they realize you're dumber than a box of rocks!

This, this, a million times this. And I'm in a province that makes the "good stuff".

I suppose my greatest objection to using Chat GPT instead of writing yourself is that you cannot convince anyone to do anything unless you know how to use words well. 🧵

Android auto's controls make it way too easy to accidentally tick over to 1.2x. I then start thinking that Andrew is sounding REALLY fired up about the starting lineup until I realise what I've done and immediately flip it back to regular speed. Can't handle it otherwise

My team: Arsenal

Why? Watching Ian Wright highlights on Transworld Sports in 1993. It was the only soccer I remember being on TV in Canada until the lead up to the 94 WC. We'd get the London Times at the library too, just a week behind, and I'd read every story I found.

A friend asked me who I was cheering for. I answered that I'd be sticking to my routine. I pull for two teams every week - Arsenal and whoever's playing Spurs.

It tastes like ashes today, but a man has to have a code

Not ours, but my parents...my brother was almost named Thor. And this was in the early eighties...

Thank you! Now to see if I can talk my mom into a bit of a project when we're visiting...

Would never say no to a cheese toastie, but the oil pickles are what I'm really interested in. I'd never heard of them, but a little research later, I really want to try some. Might be a project for the summer!

Yep. Muni golf was still very accessible to most folks when I was a kid. We couldn't afford it otherwise.

it’s st totteringham’s day

:)

That's pretty close to a recipe for yachaejeon! I'd have it anytime, but with a Korean-style dipping sauce - soy, vinegar, gochugaru, sesame seeds. Maybe a bit of kimchi on the side...

Twitter

Meera Sodha's daily dal was the recipe that taught me this. I "cheated" once by hammering the onions and the resulting lack of depth was incredible. Never again

Fiber internet to my house in 1996. Dad knew who to talk to at the telco to get in on the beta. About a 5mb connection in a time when 28.8k modems were standard...

I glance-read that as "ninny albifacies" and that's what I'm calling my son the next time he earns it

It looks amazing. Is that just Kewpie mayo on the salad?

Mick Herron's "Slow Horses". Bought it ages ago, never quite got into it, but I think it's grabbed me this time. That and cookbooks...

For what it's worth, I didn't check the score once during the game. I'm not convinced that didn't help

It's one of the few joints my son actually likes. I'll report back. I'll warn you in advance, though, their track record on sauces ain't great

Stated beautifully. Life goes on.

The Arsenal community is pretty active (and nice, which is a big deal for me). What I still stick my nose into X for is cricket - they don't seem interested in moving at all. But gazing into the hellmouth for that isn't worth all the shit that goes with...

That's exactly why I haven't. I've been private there for at least five years, I haven't actually posted anything for longer. And yet...maybe today's the day.
