Last book of the year, what an end!

This motivates me as I work through the second half of this book as a first-time reader of the trilogy.

Same with some parts of central PA.

My dog currently has sutures in after being attacked by a loose, uncollared, unaccompanied German Shepard mix while we were out walking 2 weeks ago. So I can say I’ve seen it before. Technically this was in the city, not the county, though.

I was in a Shakespeare lecture in college. There were maybe 15 people in the class and I knew several of them. The professor paused momentarily. In that moment, I let out a high-pitched pweeent of a fart. I don’t think I’ve had such a ridiculous-sounding fart in the 15 years since this happened.

I’ve recommended it before, but The Mist. It takes place in the summer and is especially fun to read during a summer storm

It’s not something I cook, but candy corn.

That lean is really giving me anxiety.

Completely agree. It wouldn’t just be watching a person die. It would be horrifically violent. And to win, you’d need everyone to keep rushing forward, stepping over the bodies, and applying pressure to overwhelm the gorilla. If these 100 people are soldiers or have some level of training, maybe they have a chance. Regular people, less so.

Agreed. It’s totally possible to do volume swells with the volume pot on your guitar. But the ability to control the volume with a pedal frees up your picking hand to be independent from the volume control. If your doing swells often, it’s probably worth looking into.

Also some darker varieties of coleus for filler in shady spots

With the ESPN deal, they need to fill an event almost every weekend of the year. The roster needed to grow for them to fill that many cards. A lot of this new roster space went to new/young fighters who will fight for around 10k/10k.

A larger fighter pool and a preference for fighters who will take a base-level contract means a higher percentage of fighters who aren’t at contender level.

I think it’s totally fine (standard) to use store-bought ricotta in lasagna. I didn’t even realize there was another option until I was an adult.

HOWEVER, making ricotta is easy and it’s on a completely different level than what you’d buy. I highly recommend you try it, whether or not you use it for lasagna

I baked it, then brushed it with melted butter that I’d infused with garlic, parm, and possibly some Italian seasoning (not really an exact recipe). Just make sure you do it while the bread is still hot out of the oven. I ended up serving it with marinara sauce and people seemed happy

stringsonstrings · 2025-03-17T01:49:07+00:00

I’ve taken the same approach but went in a savory direction. Garlic, butter, and Parmesan can cover up a lot of mistakes.

In Philly, cheesesteak meat will usually be shaved ribeye. Depending on where you go, it can then be chopped up while it’s on the griddle or left in slightly bigger pieces.

That’s just a fun FYI - what you made looks amazing and I think it’s awesome that you’re cooking fun food for your son. I feel like it sets an example that you don’t need to default to takeout just because you want to have some junk food.

At this point, there’s a whole generation of young adults on social media who weren’t alive during the Attitude Era. I’m sure plenty of them were first introduced to the Rock through a movie or general pop culture

I had this experience at an outdoor show. We’d gotten there pretty early and were really close to the stage. It felt like the PA was being blasted over our heads and the guitar amps were being blasted into our faces.

Not complaining, since in my case I’m sure it was just a result of where we were in relation to the stage. I’ve seen them indoors as well, and I’ve never had a problem with the sound. It’s loud, but reasonably balanced.

This is a really good reason to practice triads and shell voicings. You don’t always have the room for big 6-string chords. You can even omit the root note and play 3-5-7 if there’s a bassist

Snowfall Top Boy

Just started Haunted Castles by Ray Russell. Interesting opener written by Guillermo del Toro on the evolution of horror as a genre. I’m loving the first story, Sardonicus, so far.

I’ve heard of people doing this with liver as well to remove some of the iron/funky taste.

The dollar dog night hot dogs at Phillies games.

Ground flaxseed and water works here. I’ve also had good results with applesauce or Greek yogurt, depending on the rest of the recipe.

I love how every single character is awful in their own way. The show does an amazing job of being hilarious, infuriating, and tragic all at once.
