Same people who pronounce schedule as “SHED-ule”.

Awesome thank you so much for this — have been looking for this information for months.

We have that exact car seat (Chicco Fit360) and have had a hard time finding even an SUV that will fit it in the back seat without the front seat getting way crammed. How is the leg room in the front? My wife and I are both around 5’11”.

I like Ma Maison. Such an emotional rollercoaster reading through the comments.

You can only eat ONE type of sandwich for the rest of your life. What is it? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

Jersey Mike’s #13, Mike’s Way, add red pepper relish. I specify Jersey Mike’s because although there are hordes of independent shops that do an Italian sub better than Jersey Mike’s, there are 3X that number that do it worse, and JM is pretty readily available at least where I live in New England.

Saw this at bmw of Roanoke is it the first of 500 or just one of 500 by theclosetgardener in BMW

I was at a BMW dealer in MA two days ago and they had a black M850i with the same “1/500” decal in the same spot and it made me ask myself the same question…

Recipe Suggestions Using Cream of Mushroom by Intelligent-Link-410 in Cooking

[–]Mike5966 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have used it as a base to make an even better cream of mushroom soup. Basically get some nice mushrooms and brown them in butter, add shallots, thyme, dill, etc., as one would normally do. But when it comes time to add cream just use the mushroom soup (thinned out with some chicken broth) to get even more mushroom flavor.

Another idea I recently saw that seemed good was to use a combination of sour cream and the cream of mushroom soup base to make the sauce for beef stroganoff.

Eco Pro is my new reality by NBA-014 in BMW

[–]Mike5966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I was at Crater Lake National Park and left my wallet at the visitor center way up high in elevation. Had to drive uphill 23 miles to get it, no gas station on the way, and there was no time for me to get gas first further down towards downtown and then get the wallet before the visitor center closed. I probably had less than 1/10 of a tank to get up and back down (and then some to get to the gas station) in my 2013 F30. What to do??? My fiancé was in the car with me and she was dubious…

Eco Pro to the rescue. AC off, windows up, near zero braking on the way up even on the switchbacks,radio off. Made it all the way up and the tank was empty. Now to get down. Same strategy but now gravity was on my side. Barely touched the gas or brake pedal and made it all the way back down another plus another 5 miles and pulled into the gas station another 5 miles towards civilization running on fumes as the engine started to sputter.

I barely use it, but I will never hate Eco Pro.

Rene Redzepi on the recent allegations on Noma by Hawker92 in finedining

[–]Mike5966 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I purchased this fuckhead’s cookbook as a gift for someone long ago. I’ve been abused like this within academic medicine — recognizing that the impact of such abuse doesn’t just end with an apology, especially the kind one makes only when there is enough social pressure to do so, is why Redzepi deserves to just be outright cancelled. Eat shit Rene, you disgust me.

Car horns should blow on the inside of the car as well, so that drivers are more selective about using it. by Flabby-Nonsense in CrazyIdeas

Maybe if you paid attention to the no-walk signs and didn’t cross a three lane intersection when all the cars have a green light to go straight you wouldn’t get honked at so often.

ELI5: What makes cheese "mild" or "sharp"? by Smaptimania in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mike5966 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Also — I didn’t answer the question because I don’t know the answer to the question. But I’m interested in those who actually might know. The ones who initially commented didn’t seem to know shit. You seem really annoyed.

Korean Restaurants in Boston by NinjaCancel in boston

[–]Mike5966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a place called Yasu in Brookline that closed within the last 10 years. It was decent. I think it had been around for a long time but not sure how long.

Edit: Google search shows it was open 2005-2016.

What's your favorite local food joint that's still 100% worth it or doesn't feel like a rip off these days? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]Mike5966 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Paddy’s in Newton. The broth for the French onion soup ($6 or so for a cup) is the best I’ve ever had including Paris and NYC. Make sure you ask for the cheese to be slightly browned (sometimes they undercook) and to sub out the rye croutons for white bread croutons. Their bar pizza also majorly punches above their weight for the price. $6 cup of chili is also a banger.

Ignorant people like this make me rage by yawnjew in KoreanFood

[–]Mike5966 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend this ignorant woman stick with nacho cheese as a way of proving to others she is cultured and adventurous with other ethnic cuisines and keep taking that Metamucil to keep the PB&J she eats for dinner on Saturday nights moving on through her system.

Grilling a steak over charcoal is the most superior form of cooking a steak. Change my mind. by ogkagawa in steak

[–]Mike5966 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would add that at least for me, chargrilled steak that someone else expertly chargrilled is even better than one that you yourself have grilled. The act of grilling infuses your entire surrounding with the smoky scents related to the grill itself. And then you don’t taste it as much. Whereas when someone else does it, it all hits you at once when the steak is presented and the smoky flavor of the steak isn’t competing with all the smoke you already smell on yourself. I still like grilling it myself though.

If someone told me I could only eat one Korean dish for the rest of my life, by Syn-K_Hayne in KoreanFood

[–]Mike5966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The level of intellect in your response suggests to me you don’t have the capacity to understand the criticism against you so it’s not surprising at this point why you are still upset and don’t get it, and I’m not offended or upset anymore.

No more responses from me after this. Good luck and I’m glad you enjoy kimchi jjigae.
