I wound up drinking less last year since I do most of my drinking out and about and obviously that wasn’t happening. Even last night I had a glass of wine at dinner and a cocktail while Zooming with my SOs family, and then by the time it hit midnight I didn’t even really want the champagne. It’s a far cry from NYE in my 20s.

Mayo is just thickened oil so use it wherever it makes sense to have thick oil. Or use it however you want - embracing chaos in the kitchen is the true path to flavortown

Anyone have good kitchenaid mixer recipes? I just made pizza dough and was extremely happy at how fast it kneaded it.

Buy the pasta making attachment and make your own. The obvious ones are the spaghetti and fettuccine, but I love spending an afternoon using the roller to make sheets of pasta dough for ravioli and filling my freezer. It’s expensive but compared to the cost of buying fresh pasta somewhere else you can break even pretty quickly putting it to decent use.

On one hand, I get it. I miss normal life just like everyone else.

But on the other hand, I know full well that sitting for 45 mins at a restaurant without a mask while I eat is maybe the single dumbest thing I can do right now and my actions could result in:

somebody getting really sick
somebody ending up on a ventilator
somebody ending up with long-term health issues
somebody dying
somebody losing their loved one

not to mention a continued strain on all of the medical staff who have to deal with this poo poo.

I dunno, it's just baffling to me why people can't make such basic, responsible decisions.

I drove through Missouri the other week and the main thing I noticed as I was passing through the St. Louis burbs was how many restaurants’ parking lots were jam-packed. It looked like they were fitting as many people as possible into their Red Lobsters and Olive Gardens. It was so jarring compared to home where it’s mostly outdoor dining and take out.

I also feel like it’s a dry run for when it will actually matter. It’s not going to change this election, but it’s basically pen-testing our electoral process. Unfortunately everyone wants to hand wave it away and say it doesn’t matter, so no one is going to take the initiative to fix the flaws that are being uncovered here.

off on a different tangent i'm reading hard boiled wonderland by murakami. dudes got some wild prose about women. almost half way thru.

Murakami is up there as one of my favorite authors but he is very obviously weird when it comes to women and sex. Pick up his book Men Without Women if you want story after story of :wtc:

Where do you rank The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle on the list on Murakami books? Not in terms of weird sex stuff specifically but in general.

It’s hard for me to give a totally clear-eyed assessment of WUBC because it was the second book of his I read but the first I actually “got” (the first was Wild Sheep Chase because an old puzzle game that afaik has fallen by the internet wayside referenced it), so I’m inclined to like it more. Still, I said in the last thread when he was brought up that Murakami’s strength is writing stories that evoke a mood and I think WUBC is one of the best at doing that.

This was also the second Murakami book that I read (Colorless Tsukuru being my first) and it almost completely turned me off of ever reading anything else of his again lol. Maybe I'll give him another shot someday but that was last year and I haven't had to force myself through a book in that way since I was in school.

Try out 1Q84 - it still has some of the dreamlike, ethereal writing that I like in his books, but it’s much more plot-driven then a lot of his other works. It is long (the copy I have is over 1100 pages) but it was published initially as 3 separate books and is broken up accordingly, which makes it easier to manage. I’d also recommend A Wild Sheep Chase - it is weird but it’s still an entertaining read.

Glad I'm not the only one who didn't sleep great. Took me a lot longer to fall asleep than normal, then woke up twice from nightmares. My wife had to wake me up once because I was trying to scream in my dream and to her it sounded like I was struggling to breathe or something.

Another goal for this year, not be in the top 10 posters, which I realize this isn't helping. I should probably be more productive with my time.

I’ve accidentally elbowed my SO in the face when she’s woken me from a bad dream :( She’s said that I’ve woken up screaming on several occasions so it sounds like things are going great in my brain!

hard disagree. it's a great pick. Restores credibility to the DOJ, opens a critical appellate court seat to groom a future liberal SC nominee, sticks it to the senate GOP, gives Garland something to cap off his career. All in one.

I’ve also read that this frees up Garland’s district court seat and Biden is expected to appoint Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill it, basically teeing her up to be Breyer’s successor on the Supreme Court.
