What was in the ricotta container?!?!

An unholy mixture of congealed ground beef, grease, spices, stewed tomatoes, onion, and, actually, ricotta left over from a lasagna a lady friend made me a couple weeks back. I guess I didn't have a big enough pan for her to use the whole recipe.

You guys may laugh at waffle irons, but I waffled cinnamon rolls. I wish they were still light and fluffy like actual cinnamon rolls, but good with fruit toppings.

I tried to find something funny on lifehack.com to post, but it's only weird buzzfeed ripoff articles....

I'm pretty sure this is one of those dangerous "helpful tips!", like the blowing crystals one. Running your microwave empty is a fire hazard.

I used to work in a hospital laboratory, we used a microwave for certain staining procedures. As in, we would put extremely hazardous chemicals in the microwave and heat them up.

One day I was having trouble with one of the microwave stains, and my loving moron coworker told me to try pre-heating it. She'd been doing it for years. Years.

Is it actually dangerous? I know it doesn't DO anything as far as heating goes.

Dumbest person I've ever met in real life, that one.

I once heard that you must only open your microwave after it stops beeping as that's when the radiation will safely be gone. :v:

That second one might actually be true

BPA is a nasty plastic that accumulates very slowly in the body, but can be held on to for weeks or even months in some body tissues. It most commonly mimics estrogen and has a million different effects on the body. One of the prime ways to be exposed to BPA is to heat plastic containers and have the broken down plastics seep into food or drink. That's why you aren't supposed to microwave plastic

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

E: and if you know anything about breast cancer, you know what happens if you are genetically predisposed and are exposed to larger than normal amounts of estrogen

It's like somebody learned the name of a back muscle and heard that straining it can cause back pain pain and decided they were a genius because that's obviously the cause of back pain.

Had back pain for two weeks now. If only I knew this one weird trick.

E: sitting is not great for your back and stretching can help with pain and stiffness, that's about the extent of it. Everything else in that image is more or less horseshit.

That green dress lady is stretching her triceps. That's not gonna do anything for neck or shoulder pain.

Find a brand that uses dated clips on their loaves but doesn't print dates on the bags. Replace the clips on their bags with ones from loaves you bought previously. Demand a discount for the "stale" bread on the shelf. Get caught on camera, get arrested, get free bread in jail.

You say this but for a summer job I had to mark every.single.bill. And in fact, caught two one dollar bill counterfeits. The first, sure, it was one of their ones so the gave it up and moved on and who cares. The second the guy gave me a one dollar bill image printed on what appeared to be worn down yellow construction paper.
