No, no, no, the whole point of using a butterknife is that I get to lick the extra peanut butter off afterwards! Also, I got my first pair of glasses in like ten years yesterday, it's nice being able to see things at night without my eyes getting angry. EDIT: Uh, new glasses snype?

Best thing I've found is to skip the jam and go with pickles. That way you only need to spread once and can put down the pickles by hand. Absolutely no chance of cross contamination! Except I like seeing if I can get the pickle slices/chips/pieces out of the jar with my knife instead of taking five seconds to get a fork out. SO cross contamination happens sometimes anyway.

The ziplock idea is so much My girlfriend the veggie fiend eats a fair amount of PB&J, and her method might just kill you. She usually eats it with one slice of bread: first spreads the PB, and then the J on top, and then she sits there and runs her finger through it to mix it up. Actually, she might just do that just so she can lick her finger, I don't know.

Hello from Jacksonville! I have survived almost a whole month without being shot. If I make it to Friday, I think I shall celebrate by telling a local that Nascar sucks. We are settling into Jacksonville quite nicely. We found a small farmer's market within walking distance on our first Saturday here, so we have a ready supply of fresh vegetables. Meat is a slight issue, as we still aren't giving in to the American obsession with cars, so we have to use public transport, or, Heaven forfend, walk to get stuff. But it's alright! The walk to the nearest supermarket is along a very nice stretch of river. America is weird in so many small ways that are hard to explain. The cheese section of the supermarket is so small, and the ready meal section is so big. And I've never been anywhere with a drive-through pharmacy before. Drivers here seem to see cyclists as a personal insult, too. I don't think I'd ever been hooted at for using marked cycle-lanes until I came here.

I really don't understand some drivers' animosity toward cyclists and pedestrians, especially if they're in their designated place to drive (At least in my area). It's not an uncommon occurance here for a cyclist or two to be killed a year. I loving got honked at while crossing a flashing crosswalk the other day, by a guy who was stopped at the stoplights about a hundred yards away from me when I started crossing the road.

Why walk to the grocery? You can get panniers/throw a milk crate on your bike and haul stuff from the grocery. You can even rig it with bungee cords so you can take it off after grocery shopping.

I don't understand either but for a while I biked half the time and realized I still hated bicyclists the half of the time I was driving. I don't honk at them though, that's retarded. I did honk at a skateboarder in a black hoodie on an unlit 55mph road tonight, but only because he was out in my lane and not the bike lane. Probably should have just killed him though

I biked all the time when I lived in the country, and had nowhere in biking distance, but biking in a city scares me. Maybe you're cycling on the wrong side of the street?

I think a lot of it is associated with social and cultural standing. People who are at a disadvantage tend to be territorial and defensive, and the road is one territory they will defend with particular effort: "This is my place, get out!". While work is horrible pay for lovely hours in a demeaning environment designed specifically to keep them on their toes, and while society as a whole seems to be something that concerns others, at least on the road there is Speed and Freedom. Enter the cyclists, with their health obsessions and fancy shakes and quinoa. Never mind the CEO who speeds past you in his Porsche Panamera, the cyclist is the easiest to unload on.

This is why I could never ever live in America. I mean, I'm not a cycling nut or anything, but over here in the Netherlands practically everybody has a bike, or more than one even, to the point where you're weird if you don't know how to ride a bicycle at age 10. It's just about second nature to everybody here. At any given time of day in any given city there's probably more people cycling than there are people driving cars. drat Americans and their car obsessions! Bicycles are a valid mode of transportation and not just reserved for health nuts!

How far are you from here: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/jacksonville Honestly, J-ville's big enough to have plenty of ethnic markets; like most car-centric towns, though, you might have a hard time getting there. I'd seriously reconsider getting a used car of some sort, just for light use on the weekends. I don't use our car hardly at all during the week, since everything is so walkable, but it's too handy not to have sometimes.

Wahad posted:drat Americans and their car obsessions! Bicycles are a valid mode of transportation and not just reserved for health nuts! Sorry, we're size queens over here. Bigger is better, especially when it comes to geography and engines. The entirety of the Netherlands could easily be tucked into the uninhabited corners of most of the Western states. As in, all 10 million of you folks would just vanish into the deserts and not be noticed at all. What this means is that anywhere you go tends to be scattered out from everywhere else and requires long drives to get there. Bicycles are only practical in some urban areas that have made allowances for them and also in a few small towns that have decent centralized services. Then again, a lot of folks over here drive like poo poo no matter what form of transport they use. They are rude idiots with a deathwish when they are on their flimsy little bicycles and they are horrible, unpredictable asshats when steering their land yachts around town. Add a little weather into the mix and it's a nightmare.

They are rude idiots with a deathwish when they are on their flimsy little bicycles and they are horrible, unpredictable asshats when steering their land yachts around town. Add a little weather into the mix and it's a nightmare. I think this pretty much covers it. I have no problem with people who ride bicycles for transportation or for pleasure/sport/exercise (in fact I'm considering purchasing one), however when you're in the middle of the car lane on a main road at a traffic-heavy time, that's where there's an problem. I just finished school in a college town where most students used bikes for transportation and they used them correctly and weren't giant shitheads. On the other hand, where I live, I've been increasingly seeing more and more people riding sporty road bikes for, unassumingly, sport or exercise in the absolute worst places. I live in a somewhat rural area, so there's plenty of incredibly low-traffic roads around that would be great for riding, yet most people decide to ride in the middle of the lane (no designated bike lanes mind you) on a main road at peak traffic times. CuddleChunks described it quite accurately. edit: Non-bicycle chat:  Tocino con garbanzo at The Iberian Pig is the best food I have ever eaten. If you ever come to Atlanta, you would be doing yourself a great disservice by not eating this. Seriously, this poo poo is good.
