I have a living room trash can, but that's because I have 2 roommates and 3 20-something gaming nerds sharing a central entertainment center room without a trashcan is just gonna create a giant mess on the coffee table. However, on the plus side, that means you have 2 people willing to play co-op games with you at most times of day.

I don't have two people to play video games with, but then I also don't live in filth with a trash can in every room like a animal. I think it's a good trade-off.

Kaethela posted:Not around here it's not. Usually about $3 or so for a cup of coffee at a donut shop. You can get $1 coffee at gas stations, but gently caress gas station coffee. Gas station coffee is pretty reliably not awful when it's a station on a decently well traveled road. Highway gas stations serve truckers, so it's gotta be decent if not good. Gas stations in the middle of loving nowhere are questionable at best, though.

I've left all of the spiders and their webs undisturbed in my place for about 9 years now, so I can just use the floor as my trash can and let the spiders eat any pests that would otherwise move in and cause problems.

She did gently caress with the top a bit via cuts and folds so there was *some* doing. But I get it I'm a chef and the poo poo some people call home made and from scratch kills me some times. And to quell the speculation, there are 2 candy wrappers and some junk mail in it, because it is also near the door. I will probably keep it until we have company. Now I just need to make the how-to YouTube and meme

Talking stuff like premade pie crusts and canned pie filling or somehow even more Yea that's a good example, or when a bit of black pepper or cayenne or whatever in a box of Kraft is Uncle Paul's Famous Secret Awesome Mac and Cheese. At work we have a new pastry chef, who has pretty much been simply reprouducing the desserts we already had (she changed the flavors on bread pudding but still uses the old recipe). I wasn't quite sure what to think, until we had a special dinner, which requires a special dessert. The dinner was on 4/20, and was a fundraiser for a local radio station, and they asked for a 420 theme. Myself and 2 other sous' were pretty excited due to the fun theme and a decently large budget andwent all out making the first six courses. We had "spliffs" of mushroom duxelle and braised short rib wrapped in phyllo dough and grated a black pepper goat cheese for "ash", fried udon noodles tossed in onion powder and salt "funyons", smoked shallot buttermilk "onion rings", rissotto picked up in scallion puree with bits of crisped andouille and micro purple kohlrabi (it was green with red dots and purple stems all over), and this is already a long paragraph but the list goes on. Dessert was huckleberry sage ice cream over an oregano and parsley brownie. After the fourth day of working on this poo poo, day of the dinner, our pastry chef walks in with a loving Ghirardelli box. It was another chef that made the ice cream, and I came up with the "herb" brownie. So all she had to do was make my idea happen. She said that the box always comes out better. I rarely touch the baking side and I have a pretty killer brownie recipe. I don't think I've ever had less respect for someone than watching that woman walk into a professional kitchen with a box of brownie mix from the store. I dunno I rambled a bit but I think that's a p good story

Yeah, i like to think of myself as a pretty competent amateur when it comes to making things from actual scratch, but that list is awesome. When i first heard "radio station" i thought it would be some neat but quick meal, but drat. I guess an NPR affiliate would have listeners that would appreciate a meal like that, but I'd never expect them to run with a 420 theme unless you're in a recently legalized state

Yea it was a blast, three current or ex stoner yet very culinarily gifted chefs given a 420 theme and a "spend whatever you want within reason" budget yielded some killer results. I've never seen people having that much fun while taking something so seriously My phone was dead that night, I've been meaning to have my buddy send pictures, I'll get some up here if it happens soon enough to be relevant. As long as it doesn't piss the mods off. Content: Life Hack:Want to call yourself a pastry chef?

Fake or not, I still love Lowtax's story about Fragmaster nonchalantly stealing a chair on the way out when he got laid off. Just pushed the thing out into the parking lot, put it in his car, and drove off.

Every place I've ever heard about has someone from HR walk you to your desk when you get fired and they watch you pack your stuff up before walking you out the door. So the lifehack is to begin stealing stuff before you get fired.

The one time in my life someone convinced me to go dumpster diving it was at a Wal-Mart and we got pounds and pounds of perfectly good fruit and vegetables. We didn't take anything that was actually touching the dumpster and washed everything off with vinegar I think, so it wasn't too bad for garbage food. (the people I went with knew the schedule so it had only been out there for like 20 minutes) I guess that is a legitimate lifehack if you're into that kind of thing. We also got caught and the Wal-Mart dude just kind of sighed and was like "I don't even want to know what you took, just make sure I don't see it and get out of here before anyone else sees you."
