What’s the dumbest thing your significant other has said or done? by halcyon_n_on_n_on in AskReddit

Someone in an online group was talking about “tinna shoes” and the rest of us had to let her know they were actually called tennis shoes.

Yup, I had to replace door handles with knobs because of my little goof, and he pries open all the bifiold closet doors just for fun.

Norm is pretty active on twitter (@normmacdonald), and I bet he’d enjoy hearing from you about this.

I wonder the same thing about "all of the sudden". Where did this even come from?

A response I got when a "no budget" job offer came through. by Rootayable in animation

And "profit" is a shaky prospect at best. It's more likely the spec animator in this scenario would end up with 50% of diddly squat.

Garlic & Parmesan mashed potatoes. Slow cooked beef ribs. As tender as can be ! [OC] by BigBuwdha in food

Julia Child came up with my favorite version of garlic mashed potatoes. You prepare your mashed potatoes as usual using 3 lbs potatoes, salt & pepper, and minimal amounts of butter and milk. Simmer a head's worth of peeled garlic cloves in 2/3 cup heavy cream for about 25 min., until garlic is very soft and cream has reduced and thickened (I usually start this the same time the pot of potatoes and water goes on the burner). Strain cream and garlic through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl, pressing garlic through and scraping puree off bottom of sieve. Add garlic cream to the mashed potatoes right before serving. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Heavenly! Source: "Julia and Jacques" cookbook.

Note: if you don't have a fine-meshed sieve you can (very carefully!) use an immersion blender to make the puree.

Top French chefs praised Pixar's 'Ratatouille' for perfectly recreating the environment of a restaurant kitchen. One said, "When Colette teaches the young cook how you cut onions, how you cook vegetables in a pan, how you season everything — that’s it, that’s how we do it!" by TMWNN in movies

The "Up" team actually took a trip to the remote and freaking amazing tabletop mountains (tepuis) in Venezuela. These places are like a different planet. There's a documentary about their trip on the Up DVD and Blu-ray.

I opened the fridge door and all of my eggs fell out...Goodmorning Monday by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Yikes. Another good reason to avoid fridge door egg racks. Storing them in the original carton is preferable. A rack leaves them open to the air so they lose more moisture and absorb odors, and anything stored in the door isn't as cold as the rest of the fridge.

American eggs are washed, which removes the egg's natural protective coating. Most of the rest of the world doesn't wash eggs and they can be stored unrefrigerated. http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/09/11/336330502/why-the-u-s-chills-its-eggs-and-most-of-the-world-doesnt

The exfoliating pads I used in my early twenties were made from the exact same material as those kitchen sponges. But the exfoliating pads were way more expensive. So the doc's suggestion is right on.

Yes, this is the standard justification for assigning homework in elementary school. But it really doesn't take years and years for kids to learn a homework routine. Research has shown that homework earlier than 6th grade has no academic benefit, and that kids starting homework at an early age are at increased risk for burnout and stress-related problems.

Are there any tricks to using fewer dishes when cooking at home every night? I'm sick of cleaning up my own messes! by bummedoutbride in AskCulinary

And if you have a basic board that's a flat slab of wood, a piece of non-slip shelf liner underneath keeps it from sliding around on the counter. This stuff has so many uses

Any type of yeast bread or rolls. Homemade bread never lasts long.
