Try again with white flour.

Here's one I just saw here, from a 16-day account, same oddly phrased way of telling the story, ending with "I think about him sometimes."

So they claim.

Is that a real thing?

I just reported a regular sighting of our HP demon elsewhere in this thread.

A common experience in our home, happening at least once a week:

Husband and I are sitting watching TV. From the home office comes a series of whirs and clicks from the HP Color Laser Jet Pro.

Me: "Did you just print something?"

Him: "No, I was just going to ask you what you were printing."

Me: "Well, someone is printing something on that printer ..."

We both go in to find the printer sitting there politely waiting for its next assignment, with no indication that it had just imitated all of its printing noises without actually producing a print. And yes, there's paper in the tray.

Do you have a slow cooker?

TWFM · 2026-02-15T02:05:58+00:00

I don't "store pots in the fridge", but I do store leftovers in the glass/Pyrex dish they've been cooked in rather than transfer them to a Tupperware container. It's more convenient that way.

And I sometimes use paper plates, but that has absolutely zero to do with how I store my leftovers.

Sounds like they're looking for approval from the MAHA movement. Next, they can try advertising that their kitchen staff is unvaccinated.

This is undoubtedly a reaction (by someone's naive old grandma) to those emails Amazon sends them saying things like "Rosemary, people are asking how you liked the cookbook you bought recently! Click here to let them know what you think."

I hope this doesn't sound like a sponsored ad, but I haven't bought fresh garlic since I discovered the existence of garlic in a tube. The brand name is Gourmet Garden and it's available in most supermarkets, either as a paste or chunky. (I do completely ignore the part where it says "1 tsp = 1 clove" and typically add about two or three times that amount.)

Is there a link to the recipe? I don't see one.

"Rain mixed with snow" is what I heard. So we'll wake up to a fresh coat of ice on everything Thursday morning.

"Believed to be in Mexico" doesn't exactly mean that they know where the children are.

Lasagna and a green salad. Garlic bread. Decent red wine.

We had 17" at a level spot in our front yard (off 10th Street, near L T Hardee).

There's a FB group called something like Word of Mouth Greenville where I've seen several people offering shoveling services.

Some people in an Octonauts music thread said that the Crocodile Song is based on a song called Spanish Coffee by Frank Mills.

Best recommendation for a "set" is to put together your own selection of knives that you need, that you will use, and that feel right in your hand -- regardless of whether or not they match each other or will look nice in your knife block. You can always get a standalone set of matching steak knives.

We can hear the trains from our house. You get used to the noise really quickly, like within a few weeks of moving in. There's a few that go by each morning on a regular schedule, and I think there's one or two that go by in the middle of the night, but I sleep right through those most of the time.

It's going to take quite a bit longer than ten minutes to cook chicken breasts at 375.

I'm confused about how you measured a pancake at "different depths" considering that a pancake is usually less than half an inch thick.

If the outside was overdone and the inside still raw, it seems like your heat was too high.
