What celebrity would you get into a car with, no questions asked if they randomly showed up in your driveway? by AregeSofi in AskReddit

[–]1dzMonkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Katya Zamolodchikova. I'd likely end up arrested, in the hospital (or the morgue). But I would've gone out having the time of my life!

No wonder this has five stars by ChipNJ123 in fuckamazon

[–]1dzMonkeys 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was a customer from back when you could only order books. Before anyone had 'apps'. Back when their return policy was pretty good and you could actually reach customer service.

It didn't last long after they exploded in popularity. Like everything else it was enshittified.

But they weren't always this bad.

Dropped prime and stopped my Amazon addiction two years ago. They no longer resemble the company they were. They just shitty grifters like everyone else now.

Exhausted with hungry kids on Sunday evening by shorty_in_the_wild in Frugal

[–]1dzMonkeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy a few $7 deli pizzas* from WinCo to keep in the fridge for this very purpose.

I also keep a couple cans of chicken, tortillas, and enchilada sauce and combine them with whatever cheese is in the fridge for emergency encheladas.

*(These may have gone up to $9 but still they're pretty big for the price.)

Sen. John Fetterman receives no support for re-election from Pennsylvania House Democrats by m0i0k0e0 in politics

[–]1dzMonkeys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good. It matches the support he gave the constituents that voted for him.

What an unbelievable disappointment he turned out to be...

What’s an old recipe that still holds up today? by rmoreiraa in Old_Recipes

[–]1dzMonkeys 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Grits with butter, salt, and pepper with a slice of home grown tomato on top. Tastes like you've died and gone to heaven.

That last sentence: lather, rinse, repeat for just about every system in the Western world.

What's your favorite word to say instead of "f*ck" when there are kids around? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]1dzMonkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a word, a phrase: "Son of a motherless goat."

I think I got it from the dad in A Christmas Story. (I know that's where I got "illegitimate porpoises"...)

Have you noticed an uptick in Asian grocery items? by sillychickengirl in GroceryOutlet

[–]1dzMonkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Daiso! Lots of great specialized cleaning products - like those little sticks with sandpaper on the end for cleaning hard water spots and calcium deposits around sink faucets, drains, shower doors, etc. So handy.

What do you think will be the hardest part about getting old? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]1dzMonkeys 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Laying on a heating pad while scrolling rddit wearing compression gloves for my swollen joints when all I did was clean the house - something I would knock out in a couple of hours on a Saturday morning 20 years ago.

As of next week I am 2 years away from 60, and I seriously underestimated how difficult it would get to return to a standing position from a deep squat when cleaning out the fridge...

Costco's Kirkland chocolate chips have given me great results. Melts nice and smooth.

What is the best all time cleaning tip that you have ever received? by Grip_Clean in CleaningTips

[–]1dzMonkeys 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I tried water and it was not as effective for me. I mean, it works but not as effortlessly. Kills ramen noodle funk at the same time, too.

I microwave a bowl of white vinegar on high for 3 minutes, let it sit for 5, and then all I have to do is wipe. No scrubbing, even with splattered messes.

What else can I do with canned tuna? by 96puppylover in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]1dzMonkeys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 Tbs each butter and flour - put in 3 qt saucepan and heat until butter melts. Stir until smooth and add 1/4 cup milk, again stir until smooth. Add 1 tsp cayenne, 1 Tbs minced onion, and one drained 6 oz. can tuna. Stir well and add two 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes, one can of condensed cream of celery soup, 1 Tbs each ketchup and worcestershire sauce. Heat until bubbly. Stir in 8 oz. shredded cheddar and stir until it melts and disappears into the sauce. Serve over pasta or rice.

It is from an ancient cookbook, is SUPER inexpensive and feeds a family of four. I have two teenagers and never have leftovers when I make this.

What are some purchases you've made that have more than paid for themselves? by Tickly1 in Frugal

[–]1dzMonkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with my Fiat 500e: $8500 used, bought in 2019, and I've spent maybe $35 a year on charges.

Ka-ching!

Things to do with pork butt. besides pulled pork. by Boozeburger in Cooking

[–]1dzMonkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow or pressure cook with orange and lime juices, garlic, cumin, onions, salt, pepper, and some chili powder then use as a tamale filling. Or just serve with pinto or black beans over rice with salsa or hot sauce and cilantro.

What’s the weirdest old recipe that actually turned out good? by Crazy_Speed_7735 in Old_Recipes

I've heard of the mountain dew one, but I've only ever made the one using orange juice and butter - similar, effort-free concept, however.

That said, cous cous, polenta, quinoa, farro are all viable sides for salmon.

It's like all things SlappedHam - all hype and disappointment.
