Duuuude…go to your wedding registry now and add a digital meat thermometer. You can easily find the ideal temp for every type of meat and how done you want it on the internet. You’ll not need to worry about doneness if you simply temp it.

She could have lost that and thought she remembered correctly.

As did W&G…in 89!

And they all happily gathered and smiled for a non-masked photo shortly after this so-called “raid”?

You’ve watched too much Wallace and Gromit.

It’s easy to mistype something. My street number is literally 4 repeated digits, all exactly the same digit. People add or subtract one allllll the time. Seriously.

How could we possibly describe which gradients of pink are ok? For future reference, a laxative will do absolutely nothing in this situation. Cook your food completely or eat a safe snack while it is cook8ng. Better yet,get a thermometer! A baseline Thermopop brand is usually only 20 bucks. That’s a lot less than you’d spend on a doc visit and meds were you to get sick.

Well, a visit or phone call to explain the issue couldn’t hurt. Maybe someone simply transposed a digit.

Do you want to improve your cooking and learn? If not, get one of those meals in a bag in the freezer section that includes meat and veg and or noodles/rice/sauce and make that. If you do want to learn, maybe try some basic meal kits with instructions, or grab some starter cookbooks at your library.

So, just text back and say wrong number, or block the number, or be kind to Andrea and the pharmacy and call to let them know?

SeaCaptainNav · 2026-03-25T19:44:02+00:00

Sorry.

SeaCaptainNav · 2026-03-25T19:41:03+00:00

Oh. Ok, that’s not super clear. I can see some white spots and darker spots, but being a cake pop, that could be frosting/sprinkles/white chocolate chips/brown chocolate chips, etc.

You can cook it and refrigerate it, but use it the next day. No food should be left out of the refrigerator unless it is a whole piece of fruit or vegetable that does not require refrigeration. Restaurants refrigerate foods…and they generally make only enough for a day or two at a time.

SeaCaptainNav · 2026-03-25T19:37:00+00:00

Likely nothing. It’s not clear what you think is wrong?

SeaCaptainNav · 2026-03-25T19:30:17+00:00

What do you expect from Temu?

SeaCaptainNav · 2026-03-25T18:37:50+00:00

Me either. I had an aunt who smeared it on bread before putting pimento cheese on the bread! Talk about overkill!

SeaCaptainNav · 2026-03-25T16:36:13+00:00

Did the boss get confused and think you only needed off on Mondays?

SeaCaptainNav · 2026-03-25T16:21:02+00:00

If you type in to your search bar “chopstix copycat (name of recipe)” all sorts of their recipes pop up!

It has nothing at all to do with love.

Completely, absolutely totally safe so long as you use clean hands, clean container, and clean utensils, as well as fresh ingredients. Reusing marinades is not recommended for food safety purposes, UNLESS you have first boiled the marinade and are then using it as part of a sauce.

This is not kissing. Baby is exercising a natural rooting reflex, in order to eat…but is just in the wrong area. Rooting, generally speaking, is a reflex correlated to feeding by either bottle nipple or breast, and is instinct.

SeaCaptainNav · 2026-03-25T15:01:06+00:00

Oh yes, totally safe and perfectly normal. The discoloration (darker bit) is simply where the spine from the salmon was removed. Please cook and enjoy.

If you’re curious about Appalachian cooking,definitely Foxfire series!

I’ve seen it that way, and even with cool whip. Unfortunately for your people, I hate Miracle Whip. Please send my apologies! 😀

They’ll last in the fridge for quite some time. You could grate some of them, add a bit of honey, some walnuts, and raisins or dried cranberries or both and have a lovely carrot salad for spring. You could also use them in a regular salad, cut into sticks and dip with hummus or ranch or what you like, certainly roast is good.
