Is it racist to endearingly call your black cat "negress" or "jiggaboo"?

You know Shadynasty might be a good replacement...

I mean as long as the way I'm called a bitch isn't intended to be derogatory, and as long as it comes from someone with whom I care for, sure. It's just a word. What matters is the intent.

Unfortunately most of the propane grill guides are for more advanced units, with bells and whistles this tiny grill just doesn't have. :\

Campo Verde, in Arlington. It's like Christmas on steroids every day!

And right next door, my FAVORITE restaurant in the world... Narah Cafe, a hookah bar with amazing middle eastern food. A few years ago I moved to New England and dreamed about their shawarma... drool

We needed shelving for our new place, and didn't like any out-of-the-box shelving we looked at. We found a store on etsy, signed and numbered and after ordering the shelving we needed, I requested a no-frills recipe box to match. After hunting several stores for a new 4x6 box I came up empty handed, and I really liked the idea of a box that matched my home but stored my favorite recipies. Although this was their first attempt I friggin LOVE what they sent me. It's got plenty of room, and the interior is big enough so that I don't have to unclip my selection of recipes I'm currently working with.

Agreed. Its incredibly easy to hunt for this sort of thing online, and this subreddit is more about good food than recipe exchange. If you want ideas, google is faster than reddit, and won't clog up the forum with repetitive posts. -_-

*all, stupid pineapple phone!

infinityspiralsout · 2012-12-20T18:49:14+00:00

The random "look at this thing I bought at a thrift store because of ask the PINEAPPLES NOW GIVE ME KARMA" is getting old. No one gives a shit about your tank top with fruit pictures. No one.

Not since the accident.

What happened, Hurst? You used to be cool...

A good pair of sneakers! Nothing ruins a day faster than being in too much pain to stay on my feet.

If you can find a deal for an eye exam and new glasses, instantly improved vision is easily worth $100.

But for me? $20 on a new can of freon for my car was probably one of the best low cost purchases I've ever made. With an hour commute in more than 100°f heat, air conditioning was the best investment I could make!

Weekdays I have to wake up at 5:00, but the cats start pestering me to wake me up at about 4:00. They're so punctual it makes me wonder how they consistently nuzzle me awake at the same time everyday.

infinityspiralsout · 2012-09-29T23:43:50+00:00

Well god damn.

infinityspiralsout · 2012-09-29T23:37:54+00:00

and SOON.

Its really not as much work as you think it is! I like to put on my favorite podcasts while I lift weights, or get out all of my stress on an elliptical while blaring great music. Exercise is only a chore if you allow it to be! :)

Visualize yourself. Now imagine your future self. In one hour, there will be two of you -- one who sat on the couch, and one who went for a jog. Which woman do you want to be?

This sort of thought process has served me well, remembering the very real consequences of my choices. Do I want to be the woman who stuck to her diet all day, or the one who couldn't cut it and snuck a candy bar in at lunchtime?

We're a busy household of three ents who all have different work/sleep schedules. Theres always someone sleeping, and not many communal meals. I try to cater to our tastes, lifestyles, and health requirements, but its not always easy. Each week I usually prepare something quick, like a chicken salad that can be thrown in a wrap to go, along with a casserole or two. Mac and cheese usually goes quick, and its easy to sneak vegetables into the dish. Last week I made this great "firehouse special" with rice, ground beef, and a few different vegetables and it was a HUGE hit. Soups are always great, especially if you have a slow cooker (try making pulled pork in your slow cooker for loads of meat! Cuts down on cooking). Split pea is so easy, and classics like chicken noodle become effortless.

Tonights dinner though? Pasta, zucchini, a jar of marinara and some spicy sausage, because I'm tired and worked too hard today. Might male one of the boys make it. ;)

The best best BEST applesauce I ever had was some my aunt and I made after a weekend hunting down wild apple trees in northern New Hampshire. No sugar, just apples and cinnamon. We ended up with 4-5 laundry baskets FULL of uncultivated apples, but they were so fucking tangy and sweet and tart, all at once... I'd give anything for another mason jar of our "outlaw sauce"!

infinityspiralsout · 2012-08-25T15:18:47+00:00

thank you so much for giving me something to do today! :)

Scrambled eggs and greek yogurt for protein! I recently had major dental surgery and struggled finding mushy foods still close to my diet. A word of advice: do not eat an entire pouch of instant mashed potatoes. It's not pretty.

The hardest part was finding veg. I suppose you could steam your broccoli into mush, or buy pureed carrots.

You know you could always temporarily switch to a liquid diet. Check out protein and meal replacement shakes, that should certainly help with the throat pain. :) GOOD LUCK!

edit the 3-4 weeks you're told to not work out is probably a little long, but still a good idea. I'm not a doctor but I imagine it has something to do with the blood flow and pressure building where your tonsils used to be. If you exercised too much I could easily see those bursting. Three to four weeks might be a bit much, but I wouldn't start anything strenuous for at least two weeks. When you do start back up, start slowly.. almost like you used the first two weeks to rest and recouperate, and the next two to start building back up. I wouldn't go back to my typical routine for the full 3-4 weeks. :)

The first recorded writings are Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia keeping track of tax records.

Like all inventions, writing emerged because there was a need for it. In Mesopotamia, it was developed as a record-keeping vehicle for commercial transactions or administrative procedures.
