    I agree with this. You have to be eating onions all the time without knowing it if you actually eat out. It's got to be a psychological remnant of childhood because it just doesn't make sense otherwise.

    Damaged My Rental Car in Another Country - Wut Do?

    Lanx just needs to make everything about race. I smashed the driver's side mirror on my rental car pulling out of the covered parking on my apartment once. I was shitting my pants all the way to the airport thinking about what this was going to cost and if I was going to miss my flight because...

    Yeah my 1-10 scale in this thread is based on frozen food and Marie Callender's pot pies are top tier frozen food. They're up there with Digiorno pizza. Not trying to compete with homemade here.

    What's the wattage of the heater? A lot of 120V heaters are 1500 watts which means they'll be drawing 12.5 amps max. If you have a dedicated circuit I don't think it would probably be a problem putting a 15 amp breaker on it. There's some chance the breaker would pop due to inrush current or...

    The messy pile is the trim I pulled out of the upstairs, to be replaced with a different color of 1x4 pine trim. The 2x4s on top of it are just scraps left from framing. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it but it seems like a shame to just burn all those 1x4s for being the wrong color so...

    Today's the day I've been waiting for... I've eaten plenty of these out of the microwave. I suspected it would be better from the oven and it was. I would seriously go to a diner and order these. The crust is just amazing for a frozen dinner and the filling is very good as well. If they...

    The Young Pope

    This is another one where I'm struggling to remember who everyone is and what's going on. The only character I really remember aside from the young pope is the secretary of state guy with the mole. It's kind of worth watching just for the cinematography though. They should rename the show "The...

    This is where I'm at as well. I don't know if I could pick up Season 3 without rewatching season 2 which I don't want to do. I even watched explainer videos on Youtube after each episode and I still don't remember or care what was going on at the end of S2.

    I'm guessing 50 years ago cottage cheese was available in your typical grocery store and ricotta wasn't. There will always be people who keep liking stuff as they ate it as a kid. I haven't seen lasagna with cottage cheese since I was a kid but i bet in a blind taste test it wouldn't be that...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Early onset dementia is a bitch. I'm actually going to a funeral on Friday for a guy who died of it at 61. I really feel for his wife, the last 3 years have been a real shit show for her.

    Cottage cheese is delicious. I'm a salt and pepper guy though. It's okay with fruit but I prefer it savory.

    Most doors are off the same boat and they just put brand names on them after they get here from China. I did look into some made in the USA options online and they were only 20% more so I was going to do it until I found out that it was going to be $1000 to ship them here. My brother got the...

    I had high hopes for these. The picture looks great and the actual product looked pretty similar once I got it made. The breading was good, sauce was pretty standard buffalo. The chicken closely resembled wet toilet paper in appearance and texture. Disgusting. Worse yet, I got the "value...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I definitely think the niners match up better vs. the Titans. After they held Dalvin Cook to 18 yards, I think they will be able to slow down Henry as well. Maybe not 18 yards but not 180 either and I don't think Tannehill is much better than Cousins, especially vs that pass rush. Mahomes...

    I miss going to Jack's Stack. It was the best thing about occasionally going to KC for work. These weren't bad. I've had them before but always microwaved them. They're better out of the oven. I have a hard time believing that the hot dogs are all beef. They seem like regular shitty pork...

    Best movie of the decade ?

    This is just wrong. There have been lots of bad movies based on King books, but lots of good ones too. You'll get that when there's been 40+ movies made based on one guy's books. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2019/aug/22/the-best-stephen-king-movies-ranked

    As someone who likes to smoke ribs, instant pot ribs are the best thing I've ever gotten out of my pressure cooker. Are they as good as BBQ ribs? Not even close, but considering you can make them in an hour with almost no skill, they're pretty fucking good.

    That's bone broth. It's kind of gross when it's cold but if you warm it up that will melt into deliciousness. It's a feature, not a bug.

    Yeah I think my sub is definitely the weak link in my setup. I'm not going to upgrade it right away, but I'll leave room in the cabinet for a significantly bigger one. I'm making the recess big enough for a 100" TV also. My 60" is going to look pretty small in there, but I want room to grow.
