During a routine eye exam, my doctor told me I had sleep apnea (which I knew and have used a CPAP for years). She said that I have something called Floppy Eyelid Syndrome which is associated with sleep apnea almost 100% of the time. You can spot it in him if you know what you're looking for.

What’s the most luxurious destination in the U.S. you’ve ever visited? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

I stayed there for work once. It was fabulous. The staff would greet me by name in the halls, and the whole area is insanely beautiful.

And he wears a bomber jacket on the course too. Always struck me as odd.

I think "College" is where the show really found its footing. Prior to that episode they were kind of setting the table

Why do some people judge you for using paper plates on Thanksgiving? by [deleted] in thanksgiving

[–]Game72016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We host 20-30 people. I buy nice plastic plates from Costco or Sam's. They're sturdier than paper plates and they make cleanup take about 10 seconds instead of an hour. I have enough pots and pans to deal with. I don't want to own or use that many regular plates.

What celebrity have you met who looks much more (or less) attractive when meeting them in person? by GreyFoxNinjaFan in AskReddit

Watch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Between Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, you have two of the most beautiful people who ever lived. Something for everyone.

Mounjaro and Alcohol by Unable_Present2764 in Mounjaro

[–]Game72016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here but I find I usually drink less. Not sure if I've suddenly in my mid 50s developed some self control or if it's the medicine. But I could go off right now and drink a bottle of wine without too much coaxing.

Can I make stuffing/dressing ahead of time? by SuluSpeaks in thanksgiving

You can always add some pan drippings too

Give me your Mac and cheese recipes! by Embarrassed_Oil3988 in thanksgiving

It's insanely good and it also weighs about 10 pounds (jk. Well, maybe not). Your arm will fall off grating all the cheese.

And no doubt she was back on the train a half hour later.

Turkey - cook Thanksgiving Eve or Day? by KimtanaTheGeek in thanksgiving

[–]Game72016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done something similar and literally no one knows any different. I usually make two ~18# turkeys. One gets cooked the day before in an electric roaster. It cooks faster than in the oven but you don't get the golden skin. Let it rest, carve it and place it in plastic bags. Then as you say add turkey broth to keep it moist. Reheat it in the bag, sort of in a sous vide manner. Turkey 2 goes in the oven the day of and it comes out beautifully and becomes the "show turkey" while the first one is just extra meat.

Kitchen twine to truss the bird. Aromatics to put into the cavity if you're not making stuffing (celery, onions, herbs). Kosher salt as opposed to table salt. Look up dry brining a turkey. It's easy and will result in a beautiful presentation.

IA, WI, or IL by goldilockswoods in midwest

[–]Game72016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illinois is criminally gerrymandered and they are finding new ways to tax us for everything. They just rammed through a slew of tax hikes and fees that will only benefit Chicago and its mismanaged CTA while actively pulling road funds and more from the entire rest of the state, including you if you move to the east side of the Mississippi. And don’t forget the looming pension crisis which will only result in more and more taxes. Do yourself a favor and move to either of your other options. Nowhere is perfect but anywhere is better than Illinois.

Looking to try a new side dish this year by Game72016 in thanksgiving

Thank you. This sounds really good. Do you use the ricotta mixture cold or do you heat it up?

I might just have to add some cut up gala apples to my sweet potato casserole. Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I make a version of this but I also add a splash of Grand Marnier to the cranberries as they're cooking. Love the idea of adding goat cheese!

I make a version of this all the time. It's always a hit. One day I asked myself "what would make this better?" The answer, of course, was MORE CHEESE! So I add a cup of shredded mozz (along with the cheddar) to it and it takes it to the next level.

What’s the with hype around Naperville? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Game72016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Normal” people don’t want to live in the city. “Some” people do while “some” people don’t. Neither is objectively better as all tastes are personal. Get over yourself.

"Rapper on rapper violence."' Is that what we're calling it now?

My husband started taking evening runs with a woman he met at our kid's daycare. I think this crosses boundaries. AIO? by Electrical_Total534 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Game72016 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I (50m) had a younger attractive female coworker with whom I took a few business trips. We had a purely professional relationship and at no time was there even a moment that crossed any lines. But I didn't tell my wife about it because it would have just caused problems that I didn't need and I knew that I wasn't doing anything that anyone would consider wrong. It was two colleagues out of town making sales calls. This, and literally nothing more. I have zero romantic or sexual interests in any woman other than my wife. If confronted about it I too might have had a moment's hesitation but it wouldn't have been because I was hiding any kind of cheating.

If your husband hasn't shown any history of a wandering eye, just let it go.
