When I make homemade chocolate chip ice cream I use a cheese grater to grate frozen chocolate bars. That’s the messiest thing in my kitchen

Your mom should have used more Dawn on you as a child. Not only would you know what cilantro tastes like but you wouldn’t use the f-word so freely either.

My boy borrowed this book from the library and insisted I read it.

It's freakin' hilarious. Definitely recommend you go down to the library or bookstore and read it. I'll probably take you 10 minutes, but it's worth it.

I don't care. If you don't like cilantro fine, but taste's like soap? Come on, weirdos, stop making stuff up.

Team Cilantro is awesome here.  This cilantro=soap farce is probably related to cat owners, COVID, voodoo, or just plain old narcissism. At least that is what my research says.

It’s a genetic thing. Just like being unable to smell asparagus pee. It’s pretty well established.

The lactose intolerant aren’t making that up either.

They deserve pity, not derision.

Get a splatter screen and you’ll use it all the time. It significantly cuts down on cleaning the cooktop.

Are you one of those people who can’t smell it in your pee after you’ve eaten asparagus? My BIL is. He can’t smell it but his kids can. I once casually mentioned it and he said, “Oh, so that’s where my kids get it.” Comes from my side of the family.

It’s not unpleasant. I also like cilantro. And my heritage is German/Swiss so I’m lactose tolerant. I’m living the dream.

I can’t begin to imagine how much of a mess it makes when one cooks bacon on a sheet pan in the oven. Lay out some sheets of tin foil around the pan where you’re frying your bacon, or whatever, and cleanup is pretty easy. Also, when are you adding your eggs? Before you’ve turned off the heat and drained off most of the fat?

I control the frying of my bacon slice by slice. Some I cook to be crispy for immediate consumption, some a little less so to be finished at a later time. Then I turn off the heat and drain the fat through a fine mesh strainer into a jar. And then I’ll cook my eggs in the residual bacon grease left in the skillet.

I’m not above admitting that I’ll scrape the greasy bacon bits out of the strainer and spread that on a slice of toast. It’s delicious. Probably not the healthiest choice in the world. 

[Prepuce of Doom 21,100]

I'm always tempted to mail the sealed jar full of hardened grease to one of my friends. 

[Superhero 8,834]

Or just microwave your bacon. Several paper towels below to absorb the grease, and another on top to prevent splatter.

It’s not 100% like cooking on a pan, but close enough, and I don’t have to stand at the stove for 10 minutes to make sure the bacon doesn’t burn.

Asparagus is one of those things I have to really be in the mood for so don’t eat it all that often.

That’s good to know. I’ve never tried it. Seems like it would. But I like my system. It works well. I think it’s good for my cast iron skillet, it’s easy to pour off the grease, and I like the eggs speckled with bacon residue that I fry in it afterward.

I love it. I can eat it as a meal by itself. I love it grilled, sautéed, or roasted. It usually just depends on what I see at the store. If I see good quality asparagus, I’ll grab a bundle.

Hey Shithead Skip- your father wasn't the first person who left your family.  How does one say he had no relationship with either his brother or sister, but still loves them?

You checked out. I listened to the whole piece and I think you're an exponentially worse cocksucker than I ever felt before that.

Yes. He blamed everyone, especially his parents, except himself! And then to say for the whole world to hear "Steven A Smith was more of a brother to me than my real brother"...what a monumental POS!

Ad libbing new verses that don't rhyme whatsoever is also enjoyable. 

"just tell her to fuck off, Brent!" 

"push her down the stairs, Curtis!" 

"stop what you're doing and get the hell out ASAP, Keith!" 

"fart in her face, Jeffrey!"

I'll nudge him towards this the next time it comes on the radio when Mrs. Doom isn't also in the car. She would almost certainly have a chilling effect upon his natural instincts.

Don't knock 'til you've tried it.

It's a huge time saver - crispy bacon (the way my kids like it) in 7 minutes, and it's evenly cooked. I can do other stuff while it's cooking.

If I did it on the stove, I'd have to make sure it didn't burn, then figure out how to pour out the oil. I don't save it because cholesterol.

This isn’t rocket surgery, soak it up with a paper towel and toss it.

I first had microwave bacon back in the 80s. It's okay, but an inferior product.

Oven on a wire rack is far superior.

I'm a bit of a cooking snob but this thing makes perfect bacon quickly, easily, and consistently every time using a microwave. I have thought it through backwards and forwards and cannot think of a single valid reason to prefer skillet or oven to this method.

My oven vents outside. When I cook bacon in it, the glorious aroma wafts over the canyons filling my neighbors with envy. Microwave can't do that either.

its weird to me how popularity/celebrity is assigned to athletes on a seemingly arbitrary basis (when lacking grounds of personality, attractiveness).

for example, usain bolt & mo farrah. sprints are an exciting competition, natural for spectators to 'relate' to.  its obvious why usain is popular.  but long distance running? i get that mo is the most decorated british track athlete... but do britons/others know who is their most successful shotputters or discuss thrower?

 

same thing for female pop vocalists.  there's a thousand of them who all look and sound the same.  on all the modern DJ x Vocalist electropop songs theres some young twee singer on it, and they might as well be interchangeable.  why did ellie goulding break through instead of the 1000 other ones?
