Pro tip: save your takeout containers, cups, and plastic cutlery for when the water is out and you can't wash anything for four days but still need to eat. Source: the last two weeks, different official channels strongly imply we're going to lose power and water at some point from January to March.

Can't find my coffee filters, so I stacked three loose leaf tea steepers/strainers. Brewed perfect coffee. But the grounds are stuck in the strainers, and the only way to get them out is to wash them out in the sink, but the grounds will go down the disposal, and they can't, so...

turns out that dipping crispy potatoes into liquid cheese is more delicious than eating crispy potatoes not dipped in liquid cheese. i did not know this when i made crispy potatoes yesterday and left the liquid cheese in the fridge while eating them.

Why do NYTimes Cooking recipes NEVER list water as an ingredient, when most of them require water as an integral ingredient in the recipe instructions?

My friend independently confirmed that The Deal (Off Campus 1) is a TERRIBLE book before I even opened my mouth. Now I have to send her a paperback of a better book.

ever get the urge to check the sales of a grocery store you can't shop at because it's 3000 miles away?

Overwhelmingly uncomfortable that the $9 order of six tiny falafal are disappointing and genuninely pissed that the restaurant is emailing and asking for a review. I don't have it in me to write a scathing review for a struggling business.

Can digital price tags stop? The only grocery store with an affordable day old bakery switch from discounting from 80% off to 25% off, and now I bake my own stale rolls and cookies. Even when I'm too nauseated to bake and need flavorless bread to survive.

For a week once a year I'm that person with fries in the freezer, and then I eat the fries, and for the rest of the year I'm the person without fries in the freezer. This is that week.

It is 90 degrees outside and 95 degrees inside. I have three healthy, flavorful, filling meal options I meal prepped that I could eat cold. I'm 100% making stove top mac and cheese.

I know an air fryer is just a countertop convention oven, that's why I held off buying one. Yah I've set both my air fryer and countertop convention oven on fire the same amount of times, but it's so much easier to clean an air fryer basket than a countertop convention oven. So I'm team air fryer.

pro tip: skip watching one episode of a tv series you've watch 10,000 times, and then on the 10,001 viewing watch that episode, and bam, you get a brand new episode of a show cancelled 17 years ago. surprisingly easy to do if you refuse to watch an episode guest staring a cancelled celebrity

spending the day in a san diego government building today with government leaders acting like everything is totally normal was anxiety provoking, demoralizing, and soul destroying. especially when we brought up the threat to leadership and they full on ignored us.

There will never be such a thing as a Straight Heated Rivalry. The brilliance of Heated Rivalry is that there's zero power imbalance. When we live in a world where a straight couple has no power imbalance I'll delete this post.

I use one browser to research when writing. The cookies are the most outlandish, random, ridiculous things, and I can pinpoint the exact phrase I searched that led to each ad. Dark red chicken breeds, kohlrabi harvest season, UCSD freshmen orientation dates, kugel recipe, Lunar New Year dates...

Sorry I can't go out tonight I'm currently trying to figure out how to use my transparent pink ruler that I bought at Borders Books in 2006 that has the first 0 tick a centimeter from the edge and not on the edge.
New Girl

Winston: You know, I've never told anyone this, but um...I don't know how to read a ruler. I don't. I mean how do you start? At the edge, or the first tick? It's confusing to me.

The temperature reading on my car ranged from 98-103 on the way home this morning. 74 is normally the high during the first week of October. People who refuse to believe in climate change or refuse to fix climate charge are causing climate change and making climate change exponentially worse.

how much money is an acceptable amount of money to spend on halloween costume when you aren't going to a party, aren't trick-or-treating or answering the door during trick-or-treating, aren't wearing a costume to work/school, or not entering a costume contest of any kind?
