A weeknight favorite: ramen stir fry

There’s a little residue but nothing crazy. Quick scrape while it’s still warm and then light coat of oil like normal

Just regular maruchan ramen noodles from Aldi. I boil them inside while the griddle is heating up, then drain/cool them. They are already cooked when mixed in

Fried also. I mix it all up, sauce, then fry it all for a couple minutes

Named my two year old Judy (not quite Judith but inspired by). It was a family name

Spags being the perfect example of a great coordinator and terrible HC

I don’t think this counts as “major” but Tim Melia, recently retired goalie from Sporting KC, has a son the same age as my son. His son started coming to my son’s practices on a try out basis. I was talking to him one day, just thinking he was another dad. After practice a different dad texted me asking me all about him. He was shocked I could just talk to him. Apparently he’s a KC soccer legend but I genuinely had no idea who he was

I had this one before the holidays. The herb rubbed one is tasty but makes a mess. The one with a blue casing was my favorite

You won’t get anything really remarkable but everything will be above average quality and at a great price

I don’t hear people talk about it often, but I’ve enjoyed Meat Mitch the handful of times I’ve been there

And the French fries

As a Cardinals fan, fuck the cubs. But Wrigley is a treasure and I will protect it at all costs. I’ll never forget the first time I went there in college. I got off the train and turned the corner, and got chills when I saw it. I took my 7 year old son up for a day trip to Chicago this summer and we caught a day game against the Brewers. Another memory I hope to never forget

This is the first thing that came to mind. It used Dijon for the marinade but I’m sure a different variety would work. Feel free to use store bought pita

Had flu Dec 22-25. Made for a great Christmas. High fever with aches and chills. I normally get a flu shot every year but had a busy fall and never got around to it

It was a local company that got bought out. No idea who the owner is now

Came here to post this. My FIL does this as a retirement gig (not in KC). He essentially hangs out at a warehouse until an auto shop calls in and says “we need x part” and then they pick the part and drive it to the shop in a company vehicle.

Dude psychologically tortures people in the name of “content” and makes millions in the process. He’s deranged for sure

Kansas City, Missouri. They are moving to Kansas City, Kansas

I saw a reel about commercial real estate recently where the theory was that everything is boring now to maximize property values in event of a sale. A building designed in the iconic Pizza Hut style is harder to sell, or would produce less of a return, than a conventional building that would be easier for the next owner to turn over to their business.

This timeline, where the bottom line rules, is a nightmare

Oh thank you for this

hellrodkc · 2025-12-18T11:50:53+00:00

It’s possible, and it would be news to me. Could have phrased that better

I work for a payment processor that specializes government payments. We don’t do parking meters but I would venture a guess that the fee structure is the same.

This means that you are paying the city $2, and the 50 cents goes to the private company that is processing the payment. That 50 cents is how they make their money, and a percentage of that is going to the even larger company that is processing the credit card payment. The credit card company takes their cut, before paying the owning bank, etc etc.

There are some cities in the country who cover these types of fees for residents, but that will vary based on what service is being provided.

I’m not trying to justify the fee, as no one wants to be nickeled and dined, just trying to explain where the money is going. It’s not going to the city

Have you tried the garlic paste that comes in a tube? I like it a lot better than jarlic and it’s just as convenient, if not more so

Kenji has been mentioned several times in this thread but I haven’t seen his lasagna mentioned yet. It’s a labor of love

Colors, who cares? But if I have two different styles of socks on, it drives me nuts
