I was hoping you'd say something good like Valser or something. Oh, well. There's no accounting for taste. Mr. Wiggles fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Sep 2, 2012 |

I've got an interview on Wednesday for the casino opening up here in Columbus. I'm excited. If nothing else, for the change in scenery and maybe I'll get a chance to *gasp* improve more? Instead of being stuck in the rut I've been at the fancy grocery gig.

Yeah sounds like you should hang on to that one. Mr. Wiggles posted:Good luck! Break a leg! You know what the best thing about front-loaders is? They don't walk away from the loving wall if they're off balance. Because they can't be off balance.

Front-loader machines do walk, but not very much - not as much as banana plants.

Yeah but front loaders are terrible for the last sock you forgot to throw in. Full disclosure: I have a frontloader.

OMG Bert, you avatar is so cute. Puppy loved it too. Front loaders are pretty schweet. But the ones at the laundromat don't have a decent reservoir to hold liquid detergent. So if you pour all your detergent in at the same time, it washes out in the goddamned prewash cycle. Then I have to use powdered. Which I hate. OR stand around waiting for the prewash cycle to finish. I generally give up, and just drop off my laundry to get done. :cough:

I would rather pay a buck per pound then do it myself. I used to be able to get it done at $0.85 per but the place raised it's stupid prices. Sadly the current place is too suburban for wash and fold places.

DekeThornton posted:Today I ran across a can of cream of mushroom soup in my local supermarket, and realised that I have never ever tasted this wonder product. So now I have a can in my pantry and I'm very excited about finding out how a product that can cause so much controversy might taste like. Well, the experiment was a resounding success. I managed to both prepare and eat the soup without running into any major issues. It was quite an experience. I'm not sure how Cambells did it, but they rally managed to distill the pure flavour of mediocrity. If a grey tuesday morning in a council flat in Glasgow had a taste I imagine it would taste like cream of mushroom soup.

My sister has a front loader and she complains that it gets mildewy because the door is not conducive to letting moisture evaporate out. She has to keep the door open all the time to prevent funk. Might be something to keep an eye out for.

If you keep the door closed after a few days the washer smells like a damp sponge.

After a month of working 6-day weeks I've got a three day weekend. I celebrated with a trip the the farmers market and they had fresh okra and eggplant. Sjurygg posted this recipe in the general questions thread and I remembered thinking it sounded good, so it's simmering on my stove right now with the addition of a few serrano chiles. I've got five quarts of spicy bread and butter pickles (where the rest of the serranos went) cooling and a big bag of wax beans to end for something tomorrow. It's nice to have time to devote a whole day to kitchen-puttering and laundry again. Also I found a bottle of Bordeaux blanc I'd forgotten I had and it's tasting pretty drat great. Happy socialist government holiday weekend, everyone.

I've got spicy chicken thighs in the slow cooker for tacos, and a delicious margarita in hand, after spending the whole day running errands (mostly garden-related). Tomorrow I'm going to plant a bunch of things and also build furniture for my tiny, counter-less kitchen, and also make delicious pork ribs. But tonight is tequila and tacos and video games with boyfran. Also Bart buy the Ascension expansions and play with us!

Are your clothes being hand-washed in champagne by green-eyed virgins? I paid 85c/lb for same day pickup/dropoff on the loving UES. Pay the same in LIC. What do you pay for a shirt? In other news I'm loving loving LIC. My first good stove and oven in forever, and my first really good fridge ever. Great food all over the place, and the micro brewery in the next building over is openin a growler room any day now.

We were up at the ranch tonight. Had barbecued beef ribs (2 racks), salads, beans, etc., and summer pie for desert. The temperature dropped down to the 50s after the sun went down, though, so it might be the last one of those for the year. Now it's time to start cutting firewood in earnest and get even more serious about canning (we've only been putting up 12-20 cans a week lately ).

We also get some buildup on the inside of the glass but again, easy to clear up when necessary. Overall, totally worth it. It's so quiet we can't even tell it's running until it hits spin cycle. We hear our upstairs neighbours' machine more loudly than our own.

Not sure what long term affect acid has on plastic and rubber parts though.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:That's why I bought a HE top-loader. No funk. Not a bad compromise, though I prefer using a front-loader day-to-day. About the mildew, it's not as if you have to leave it wide open all the time. Just open it about an inch or so- just enough to get some air in there. That's sufficient.

It's dry enough here that funk isn't an issue.
