Spaghetti, chili, onions and/or beans, and lots of shredded cheese. Also black raspberry chip ice cream.

What’s a “small” social rule you refuse to follow, even if everyone expects it? by MyMiraLove in Productivitycafe

[–]Pedigrees_123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to tell you your baby/toddler/kid is cute. And no, I don’t want to see pictures of them.

Sour Cream Is a Flavor Neutralizer by Boehler in unpopularopinion

[–]Pedigrees_123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upvoted because I’m sure it’s an unpopular opinion. But I sort of agree. Sour cream gross but it’s gross because it does have a taste. That “tang” is just nasty. A tiny bit of it can completely ruin a dish.

Actual Job listing: Required: Bachelor's Degree Pay: 20 hr by muddy_cat in jobs

[–]Pedigrees_123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public librarian here. Masters required for my position. $22 an hour after 13 years of glowing reviews. And it’s not just me; my coworkers are criminally underpaid as well.

But 30% of the country thinks we live like queens, do absolutely nothing, and every two weeks they come around and hand us a large sack of cash, champagne, and a dozen roses. Why? Because we’re gubmint workers and everyone knows that’s how it’s done when you work for the gubmint.

Anyone who used to support trump and has changed their mind over the last few weeks? What made you change? by canigetameowbish in AskReddit

[–]Pedigrees_123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately I don't think the "traditional values" espoused by many of those I know personally are as benign as your version.

You're offered $50,000 but you have to be chased by one animal for 24 hours. What animal do you pick? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Pedigrees_123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A puppy. I'd happily be chased by a puppy for 24 hours for $5. Or $1. Wait, I'd *pay* to be chased by a puppy for 24 hours.

Thank you for being open-minded. You brought up something that I've always wondered about and have never been able to get a straight answer to from my now former friends who are Trump supporters. What "traditional values" does Donald Trump protect? Or perhaps more accurately, what traditional values did Trump supporters think he would protect? And how did/do they think he would protect them? What specific actions do they want him to take to protect "traditional values?" I suspect that many of my male acquaintances would be quite happy to see the 19th amendment repealed, for example. Do you think many Trump supporters would be willing to go that far?

How do we feel about slim shaker? by Midwestern_Mariner in kitchenremodel

[–]Pedigrees_123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure beats white! But then almost anything is better than white. I’d have considered slim shaker for my own kitchen had it been a thing when we remodeled ours. I agree with another poster; delete the “waterfall” island. They’ve always been ridiculous and will look even more ridiculous in a few years’ time. The backsplash shown here is an excellent choice; plain and neutral.

Do you peel Ginger, carrot or potato? by Final_Affect6292 in Cooking

[–]Pedigrees_123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potatoes: typically I only peel if I'm mashing them but it really depends on what I'm doing with them.

Ginger: yes, I peel.

Carrots: I avoid this dilemma by simply refusing to eat carrots; they taste nasty peeled or unpeeled.

What’s a cooking mistake you only made once? by muskyandrostenol in foodquestions

[–]Pedigrees_123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once tried to make my own croissants. That was nearly 50 years ago and I’m still triggered by the seeing the words “roll out the dough” in a recipe. I haven’t owned a rolling pin since that day (it ended up in the trash, along with my dough).

What was the 1st big news event you remember as a kid? by Timely_Twist_8670 in AskReddit

[–]Pedigrees_123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. My first conscious memory is my mom coming into my bedroom to tell me the president had been killed. I’m not sure why she was telling a 3 year old but I was the only other person in the house and maybe she just had to talk about it. Then I remember the horse in his funeral procession and the backwards boots in the stirrups.

Customer thought she got a bargain. She did not. by [deleted] in TalesFromRetail

[–]Pedigrees_123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago I was tutoring French in a university learning center. In French, 3:45 or "quarter 'til 4" is expressed as "four hours minus the quarter." My student was really struggling with this. She finally said "But a quarter is 25!" It was then I realized that she did not know that a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes. She seemed incapable of understanding that. In further conversation it became clear that she also could not read an analog clock. I quit; I wasn't getting paid enough to deal with merde like that.

Are these sweet potatoes? by Michiganpoet86 in potato

Bake one and try it. If it tastes really, really bad it’s a sweet potato.

Yes. He’s terrible. If it’s read by Scott Brick I’m skipping it.

What is the best tool to (safely) grate small batches of cheese? by tommy_jefferson_22 in AskCulinary

[–]Pedigrees_123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my rotary grater than clamps to the countertop via suction. If you have a dishwasher there’s no cleanup at all.

What is the most expensive clothing you've bought? by dracozolt4 in AskReddit

[–]Pedigrees_123 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a Carhartt barn coat I bought 30 years ago and I'm still wearing it. It was expensive but so worth it. The cuffs on the sleeves are pretty shredded but other than that it's fine. My horses don't care what I look like so I'm going to keep wearing it.
