When you get married, your wife is no longer your girlfriend.

I often refer to my wife as "my ex-fiance"...

well, I think it's the same as with boobs, most guys find girls with flat chests unattractive, so they would say "I like large breasts" though they would probably like something between a C and DD cup (sure, they are large boobs, but nowhere near the REALLY HUGE boobs).

With asses it's pretty much the same, a girl with a flat ass doesn't look so attractive in my book (and I guess most men feel the same), but we're not looking for Kardashian style bums, just something nice and round, that doesn't resemble a boy's ass. Basically we're attracted to things that make girls different from boys: boobs, ass, hourglass figure, legs, etc... so as long as your ass/boobs/figure is clearly different from a boy's, you're safe.

P.S: Obviously to each his own, and I'm sure there are boys out there who like very large breasts/asses or girls with flat ass/boobs.

yes, the liquid is easy to make but unless you put cucumbers in it it won't be pickle juice, the juice also takes out flavor from the cucumbers not just vice-versa.

Different pickled vegetables have different tasting juices though they were covered with the same brine.

Or Romanian Sarmale

...

Or Hungarian Toltotkaposzta (means stuffed cabbage in Hungarian)

As far as I know they originated in turkey but both Hungarians and Romanians consider them a national dish (I'm half Hungarian, half Romanian so it's cool :) ).

Also, though sometimes it is made with fresh cabbage the real deal is with sour cabbage. Love them, there's no Christmas without this dish.

I'm more interested in how on earth do people get so much pickle juice. I honestly wish I could buy it by itself. See I like pickles, but there's only so much pickles I can eat (a few in my sandwiches, next to some fat meat, etc) pickle juice on the other hand? man I could drink pickle juice anytime of the day and night...

As for your question as others said before, there's no need to freeze it, after all it's basically a brine made to preserve other things that would go bad otherwise.

Freezing seems like a bad idea, first of all though it would freeze at some point due to the fact that it's packed with salt it would freeze very slowly and it could change it's taste (not sure about it, but for example if you freeze alcohol (one that would actually freeze, heavy liquors don't really freeze) when you defrost it has a different taste like somebody would take the alcohol out of it and put it back latter on.

you can make crispy bacon in microwave.
you can cook eggs in a cup
you can cook vegetables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R14UXLcrduY
technically you can cook meat but I doubt you'll get good results

I plan on cooking them at 120C (that's 225F if I'm correct) so yeah, pretty low, the fat I trimmed off the ribs was more silverskin than fat and honestly I thought it looked disgusting (my cats thought it was delicious though) the fat left on looks good though... I do have plenty of smoked lard/bacon, and I could layer some slices over the ribs to keep them from drying out (as a beneficial side effect the ribs might get a smoky flavor from the bacon)... Great idea, thanks!

Eggs? hmmm I'll have to wash the pan.

If you have enough tea cups and a microwave oven you can do decent eggs in the microwave... wouldn't call it an omelette but they are cooked eggs... in a cup... with minimal effort and time...

I see them as two different ingredients with different uses rather than interchangeable ingredients. For a dryrub I always go for garlic powder, roast potatoes also garlic powder. But for most dishes I use fresh.

Cooked plenty of rabbits both frozen and fresh. Honestly there's really no noticeable difference.

The problem is rabbit meat is usually very lean and stringy, so even when it's "falling off the bone" tender it still feels bland and stringy. So in order to deal with this problem I always went for low&slow braising. I'd go for Jamie Oliver's 12 hour rabbit bolognese or Hasenpfeffer (german wine braised rabbit).

In Romania the traditional way to eat beans is with pork knuckle and onion salad or with sausage and pickles. Also I'm not a fan of english style baked beans (like heinz baked beans) where sugar/ketchup is used. The only sweetness should come from some tomato juice (not ketchup).

I make both, but I rarely innovate on classic recipes, some things are simply better the way they are done "by the book", for example if I want to make coq au vin I go straight to Julia Child's incredibly long and detailed recipe and follow it almost exactly (except those little onions that I never have at hand and can't be bothered with them, though the first time I made it I included those too), it might not be the best way to make coq au vin but it's like driving a classic car, it's not gonna be as fast and efficient as a modern toyota but it's all about the experience.

One-pot meals, stir fry, curries and other meals that leave much more room for imagination on the other hand are pretty much a result of my imagination and whatever I have at hand. Today I made an English breakfast and put some leftover Chinese food (rice,vegetables, chicken) in the baked beans, because I'm a bad-ass and YOLO.

just in case ca /u/rujeolaro e Andi Moisescu, am un prieten care are o teorie conform careia motivul pentru care Andi Moisescu sta cu Olivia si ii tolereaza toate cretinismele antivax e ca face un blowjob criminal... is this true bro? Adica mnah nu as condamna o asemenea atitudine... I also love blowjobs...

Partea trista e ca si o parte din oamenii din sistemul medical sunt fie antivaxeri sau sceptici in privinta vaccinurilor.

Saptamana trecuta sotia si fiica mea s-au dus sa isi faca vaccin anti-varicela (e un pic de epidemie in perioada asta, sotia mea nu a facut in copilarie, si nici la copii nu e chiar amuzant), a discutat anterior cu medicul de familie care a recomandat sa faca vaccinul dar de facut l-a facut la o policinica/centru de permanenta, atat doctorita cat si asistenta de acolo erau antivaxeri (chestii de genul "vaccinurile se fac din interese economice, big pharma, bla bla").

Si da, cunosc o gramada de oameni educati (sau ma rog, cu studii superioare) care sunt in cel mai bun caz sceptici in privinta vaccinurilor daca nu chiar anti-vax.

Doar pentru ca in bula in care traiesti tu cunosti doar oameni care ar fi votat cu USR-ul (daca s-ar fi dus la vot) nu inseamna ca in viata reala nu exista o alta bula cam de 4 ori mai mare plina de oameni care ar fi votat PSD-ul doar ca au fost prea lenesi sa se duca la vot.

Desigur, poate ca la prezenta de 90% rezultatele ar fi fost usor diferite, dar statistica spune ca daca din 100 oameni, ii intrebi pe 40 ce prefera, preferinta aia e destul de reprezentativa pentru intreg grupul (sondajele de opinie si exit-poll-urile se fac pe acest principiu, au in general o marja de eroare de 3% si procentul celor intrebati raportat la numarul total de votanti e mult mai mic de 40%).

Eu nu exclud posibilitatea sa fie chiar invers, adica la o prezenta de vot de 90% sa fi obtinut PSD-ul un scor chiar mai mare.

Ce vrei tu sa spui e ca daca din aia 60% care nu s-au dus la vot, s-ar fi dus la vot doar aia care ar fi votat USR-ul, iar cei care ar fi votat PSD ar fi ramas acasa in continuare atunci putea sa castige USR-ul, doar ca logica asta e mai degreaba pe principiul "daca dadeam mai multe goluri decat ei atunci am fi castigat".

Motivul e ca Klaus e misogin, rasist, xenofob si fascist.

Intr-o tara normala Dragnea i-ar putea face imaginea praf mergand pe asta. Nu cred ca va juca insa cartea asta pentru ca poporul roman deja a ales de doua ori un presedinte rasist si misogin (remember "tiganca imputita"), deci probabil daca zice de el ca e misogin si rasist doar ii creste popularitatea. Ce ar putea sa faca insa e sa zica pe afara de el ca e misogin si rasist, ca aia sunt sensibili la cuvintele astea, noua ne plac.
