Ya know, at least the fries in frosties thing is a thing. A recognizable cultural phenomenon. Before reading this thread, youve heard of it already. Its an abomination but at least its a recognized and somewhat widespread abomination. But what the FUCK is the dipping fries in a mixture of...

Oregon is a weird fucking state, but this is one of the weirdest things about it. (And thats saying a lot for a state has made it fucking illegal to pump your own gas) When you visit Maine in the winter, you'll find that the locals have adopted the gear thats available for dealing with snow --...

OK so I have a dumb question. Before I get into this: everybody's raving about the music. Am I safe in assuming its a bunch of rap shit? I liked Luke Cage's character on Jessica Jones but find all forms of rap intolerable. How much will the music make me hate this show?

Some of you people remind me of that alien in MIB1 that climbed inside the dead redneck and walked around pretending to be a human. Its like, you look vaguely human and are giving it a half ass try but have no frame of reference for what actual humans do. WTF, people, french fries are dipped...

Oh yeah, I agree, 80k wouldnt work in Bay Area!

Assuming a reasonable family size (e.g. 3 kids), you've just described a period of about 12 years before the kids are all in full time schooling. 12 years the wife will be staying at home. Just to put your comment in context. First, the kids are home at 3 so no way the wife could work more than...

Right. Because dedicating one parent full time to building the home and family is being the ultimate cuck but dedicating both parents to working 9-5 at some menial job to pay for childcare is somehow liberated. Slavery is freedom. War is peace. Strength is weakness.

Yeah I misunderstood you. I still dont bake though and dont have a problem with the middle being underdone. Maybe we're handling the frying parts differently? Mine is essentially deep fried in >1/2" of butter. Damn, now I want french toast.

My experience has been that even a POS gas range offers far better temperature control than any electric coil stove. Just the ability to see the flame and adjust accordingly makes a huge difference IMO. That said I currently have an electric stove which blows and makes everything more...

French toast is easy. Use a thick cut bread, ideally challah but anything >1/2" will work. Soak the bread well in the egg/milk mixture before cooking. Cook submerged in at least 1/2" of butter, clarified is best but regular is fine too, just have to watch the heat.

Green peppers are delicious. Yall are crazy. But liver is seriously gross. We all have our lines. Liver smells like death. Screw that.

What a bizarre and arbitrary set of rules! Some foods can be picked and eaten at different stages of ripeness. There isnt one correct stage to eat each product. Do you hate green olives too? Pickled green mangos? Small zucchinis? Squash flowers? Green beans? Snap peas? All of these mature into...

Because if you do that your kid grows up scared to try new food because they "might not like it". They grow up into Trex or Noodle. Its a handicap. I want my kids to be able to walk into a dinner party and eat whats served and enjoy it. To walk into a restaurant and order anything off the menu...

Exactly! I frequently reply to only the sender leaving out the boss, specifically to avoid the appearance of this tattling behavior. In my case it wasnt directly bitching about me but you hit the nail on the head, its indirect passive aggressive tattling. Bitch email to me: Hey do you have any...

Liking variety in food isnt a hipster thing, its a hedonism thing.

/armchair psychiatrist time Genuinely not criticizing here, cause who gives a fuck. But I think itd be interesting to explore what you mean by this. Cause look, its not like zucchini tastes like bacon to me. Or cheddar cheese. Or grilled steak. It tastes completely different from many of the...

I'm kinda curious what the "gotcha" will be, but not curious enough

Once, in a relatively high end hotel in the Philippines, I ordered bacon and eggs. These motherfuckers served some kind of sheep or goat "bacon". It sure as shit wasnt bacon (i.e. smoked, salt cured, pork belly). Worst of all it wasnt even cooked crisp. Picture a limp, room temperature thin...

Perhaps an analogy will help clear this up. If you get a blowjob from a supermodel while also getting pedicure from a 60 year old vietnamese grandmother, I suggest that your brain will only register the blowjob. I'm failing to see the problem. You want to taste more potato?

Yeast isnt an animal, its a fungus. If a vegan avoids yeast thats even dumber than the usual vegan standard. Then again, wine is also made with yeast so yeah, dumb. I'm pretty sure some of the fatty acids from meat are needed for proper brain development.

WTF, dude, WTF. I was just messin around with the arugula thing, cause who really cares. But fucking bacon? I have to recommend a thorough psychiatric evaluation right away. Crispy, salty, umami-y bacon? My two year old loved bacon before she could say bacon. All three of the kids will...

This probably goes without saying but sometimes people fail to see the obvious. The problem wasnt your number. The problem is your notion that cumulative earnings are a worthwhile metric for contribution to society. The stay at home mom (lifetime earnings: zero) contributes vastly more to...

This sounds really simple but its surprisingly awesome. Buy the wholest whole-grain mustard you can find (something that looks like completely intact mustard seeds). Salt and pepper the salmon, then spread the mustard on ~2-3 mm thick for a crust. Broil to medium-medium rare. While its...

I eat anything but Uni. That shits gross. Nobody can really like that awful smell/tase/texture combo. Everything else in the ocean is delicious. Crabs and lobsters have essentially the same diet fyi, makes no sense to eat one but not the other based on some attempt to avoid scavengers. Know...

Not every proposal for reforming the vote increases the power of the 1% at the expense of the 99%. My proposal would fix shit.

Yes, 2007 is relatively recent for a field that goes back to 1926. LOL. Here is another thats not behind a paywall. http://www.academia.edu/download/42073023/Alcohol_Dosing_and_Total_Mortality_in_Me20160204-9573-11tszur.pdf Believe what you like but the experts who study this for a living...

PPS, without making any pedo arguments, bush is just way hotter than bald.

No, you are wrong. The data are extraordinarily strong. Its not some new flash in the pan idea; its actually been documented for decades. It was first reported by Pearl in 1926. The Kaiser Permanente program has conducted decades of studies on this topic. Here is a relatively recent paper from...

Seriously hate it when people wont admit to their guilty pleasures. Fuck that, everybody wants McDonalds or Taco Bell or Carls Jr sometimes. "Not me, it just makes me sick thinking about those little chickens in their cages. Havent you seen this documentary!?" /stab People who claim to never...

I wouldnt call you a plebe, its not about class. I'm not sophisticated and not making fun of other for being unsophisticated. I just like to make fun of people who call themselves "supertasters" and literally eat the same bland diet preferred by every 2 year old I've ever raised. Its like...

This. This is what I meant. People arent "super tasters", they just dont like bitter. Which makes exactly as much sense as "I dont like sweet", "I dont like sour" and "I dont like salt". Its one of the five fundamental tastes. Children avoid bitterness. Adult palates generally prefer a balance...

(Have I used this one yet? I dont remember) People who email your boss when you fail to respond to their first email. Bitch, you may be legally allowed to do that but recognize that its fucking personal now and we are now enemies for life. You go straight from a single missed email to "notify...

Arugula is obviously delicious. Peppery and spicy with just the right amount of bitter, a great base that can stand up to strongly flavored vinaigrettes. Pretty sure youre trolling -- who couldnt like arugula -- but its so tasy I'll fall for it anyway just to spend a minute thinking about arugula.

Now this is a reasonable response. Absolutely. There are some gross unappealing beef curtains out there. But I dont declare all pizza disgusting just because I ate that Chicago crap once. It just makes you appreciate the good stuff more when you find it. As for all this "supertaster" crap, Im...

I woke up to discover my fellow FoH posters dont like the way vaginas look or the way beer tastes. I dont want to live in this world anymore.

I'm gonna step out on a limb and speak for all straight men here: no. While there is huge variation in the visual, aesthetic appeal of vaginas, I think you'll have a hard time finding many straight men who'd agree with your statement. As evidence, I'll offer up this little fledgling industry...

I dont carry a pocket knife. I have no good excuse. I experience a sincere moment of "I'm not a real man" every time someone pulls one out.

I recently discovered neither of my grad students can open beer bottles without some highly specialized tool either. These are some educated and well traveled people who can write code and do complex molecular biological lab procedures. But beer bottles, that shits advanced topics. I told them...

Its true. Carrying a special tool to open a beer bottle is like carrying a special tool to unhitch that first sheet of toilet paper thats stuck in place when you start a new roll. Bottle opener? Its called "the nearest flat edge or straight object".

WTF, how do you put a wallet in your front pocket? Thats like mayo on hot dogs. Does not compute. Keys front right, phone front left, wallet back right.
