DrBouvenstein posted:Yes, this. Some people just don't go through butter fast enough. Like was said, it keeps at least a week at room temperature, you just need to refrigerate/freeze it for long-term storage. I go through a stick of butter like every few days because bread and toast with butter are some of the best foods ever. Though I've also had people look at my butter dish with confusion. Why yes, they do make nice little glass things that fit a stick of butter perfectly so you can keep your butter soft. Hard, cold butter is really goddamned hard to spread.

I've rekindled my love for the best breakfast meat: scrapple. Dinner is now 4 sunny side up eggs and scrapple for the foreseeable future since I can never get up in time for an actual breakfast.

Unless they enjoy eating peanut butter with bits of shattered plastic knives mixed in. Brakleen kills bugs rather nicely, it does melt some paints and most plastics though so be careful. I find the idea of mixing a white russian in a chocolate rabbit so compelling I'm going to need to try using it as a bowl for captain crunch or another similar cereal now.

Actually, Brainworm, I think most of that can be contributed to the rise in hipster culture. Especially the "reclaimed wood coffee table" part.

Scrapple is the best of all the breakfast meats. It doesn't get enough love from people not from the Mid-Atlantic (honestly seems like mostly a MD thing) And the only peanut butter that should be in the fridge is that organic stuff and government peanut butter- that poo poo separates as soon as it gets to room temp.

Brainworm posted:So. Recently divorced and experiencing a late-30s second bachelorhood. Here's what's changed since I was a 20s bachelor: I recognize your situation from personal experience. People aren't treating you better as an old bachelor because you're somehow cooler than a 20 year old bachelor. It's because they've given up on you and don't want to say anything negative for fear of finding your brains on the wall the next day. They're bringing you food as an advance on your own wake. Trust me, once you clean up and get a girlfriend, not a day will pass before everyone you know hurredly confesses relief. They will bluntly tell you about how disgusting you were. You'll say, "I thought I was rugged and interesting! Why didn't you say something?" They'll say, "Because we thought you'd kill yourself and thought you knew that you smelled like whiskey vomit and hot garbage but just didn't care."

Shower 40 oz completed. Night is still young, will probably make some noodles with hoisin and shove some beef I stole from my mother on Mother's day in there. I legitimately have to go to the store whenever I have to bake, just for butter because that poo poo is disgusting when not used for sweets alchemy. I only use sesame oil, which I buy in bulk because it makes everything taste better. On another note, good ideas for a 21st birthday when you have only work friends? Moving drains bday parties

Lifehack: I've had the battery cover falling off of my 5 year old cell phone for months now. Some of the little plastic bits broke off, and it won't stay. I used 3 beads of adhesive shower caulk I found in the garage today and nailed that sucker down. Bachelor: Wife and baby are out of town for two weeks. I had bacon, eggs, and really hot salsa for dinner today. I made, like 3 weeks worth of meat sauce for pasta earlier in the week which has been my lunch every day. Maybe I'll boil up some corned beef this weekend and have corned beef everything (hash for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and corned beef/cabbage/potatoes for dinner) (it's still pretty lonely though)

I wanted everyone to gently caress off so I could have the house and my thoughts to myself for a while and now that I have my wish I just feel like lovely loser and can't drink due to medication. When are the endorphins from a dinner consisting mainly of beans and sausage supposed to kick in?

Refrigerating fixes that Well I guess that makes me the rear end in a top hat then. I have a jar of the natural stuff and am under the impression that the oil that separates keeps it fresh. Also, when I eat a PB&J with it, I make sure to keep my pinky extended, like the classy gent I am.

You can, and I have. You just have to use liquid nitrogen to freeze it. Oh, and they most definitely will stick to your lips and give you frostbite. Careful.

Beer cubes works wonders for warm beer. Vodka doesnt freeze, as been mentioned, and watered down vodka defeats the purpose. Ice cube shot glasses are the way to go. drinking Bloody Mary's listening to music as loud as I can in my new house as a bachelor owns. edit: Been a Bachelor, decided to buy a house instead of pay rent.

Or those whisky stone things — lumps of stone you freeze. I'll often order a single malt and a separate tumbler with just ice in it when I'm at a pub, so I can dunk the ice for thirty seconds and then pull it out again. Does the 'chill slightly' and 'drop of water' in one fell swoop.

They may look stupid, but they have the phase change that something needs to be truly effective at cooling.

I would write a note that says "NO TEXTING" and put it ontop of my phone. Sometimes it works, other times I get too chatty and just have to tell my friends I'm drunk off my rear end and watching The Sandlot.

I prefer to drunk snapchat and/or drunk irc, because I only have crazy bachelor/bachelorette degenerate types on those and therefore I'm not going to wake up to disappointed/irate messages from old college and my parents/grandparents.

I finally finished my last final for the semester and have the next week off from work due to some fancy mishandling of the truth. The next 5 days shall be spent in a near-permanent drunken haze devoid of clothes eating terrible food and watching terrible funny things. I think I'll start by marathoning MXC while I finish the last 3 quarts I have of mint lemon tea to get a jumpstart on the almost certain liver damage. Godspeed gentlemen.

Although it may seem like common sense, it is particularly relevant to me right now--a bachelor warning: If you have a string of days off and can sleep as late as you wish, take note of when you next have to get up and do poo poo so the morning before, you know to get up at a reasonable time. If you don't, the insomnia will be maddening. Take heed to this advice!

After a particularly bad breakup I curbed my drunk text desires by asking the bartender for a glass of plain water. My phone lived in that while I got housed. Don't do this. Go Phones are terrible. Content: I just spent my tax return on a bunch of furniture for my apartment, including a side table with a metal top. One pint glass, epoxy and some small magnets later and I have a cat-proof beer.
