aldantefax posted:You are all cordially invited to come to my place and we shall have hot pot hell yes.  One of my specialties is sukiyaki, which reminds me of hot pot, and it is so freaking easy and SO GOOD Just make a sauce (iirc, mirin, sake, soy sauce and brown sugar?), bring it to simmer then kill the heat, then pour it into a like 2" deep pan on a little gas burner on the table (and make sure you're in a well ventilated area lol) and keep it simmering while just adding whatever you want, letting it cook and then eating it nice and fresh out the pan at the table. I usually set little plates all around the pan with the stuff we plan to cook. I use enoki mushrooms, napa cabbage, thin (specifically sukiyak-sliced) beef, sometimes I'll get super thin sliced tongue too, and maybe some nice glass noodles. I did tofu once, but I really want to try freshly frying some, letting it cool then doing it. The prefried tofu isn't the same. So good. Just so good. And such a social meal. The most time intensive thing is prepping the stuff to go into the pot to look pretty, but you don't have to. Like pnac said, it's people over presentation.

I was arguing with my dad last week about "changes" that younger generations are making and he was upset that things aren't the way they used to be (he's 70). Me: "... But things always change. Your generation changed things from the previous." Him: *scoff* Me: "YOU actively changed things." He was responsible for developing all sorts of new tech in his time from news print layouts that maximized advertising space in papers all over the country, to installing some of the first e-911 systems in major cities, to being one of the largest contractors for scheduling software for life insurance companies. I mean, he had writeups in the Kansas City Star about how his businesses were ushering in a new 'mobile' way of doing business by adopting these fanciful briefcase phones for businessmen on the go. But it was okay for him to change things. Just not his kids. It's just pure, unadulterated self-centeredness. |

I've drilled down deep with him on numerous topics and basically have now gotten him to admit that he's a hypocrite politically/socially/etc but that he enjoys being a hypocrite. He's also admitted that he doesn't give a gently caress about anyone else. At least he admits it. I'm just over here like, "right, but I do care about others so can you please stop like, voting for poo poo that hurts me and others?" |

Man I swear as soon as I don't use a softener my poo poo gets all static-y except I don't use them for towels as I heard it impacts the ability for the towel to uh, towel you |

‘The fabric softener’ seems like something some KGB dudes would talk threateningly about in the interrogation room if they were trying to get James Bond to talk, if James Bond were a piece of fabric.

i don't really know what fabric softener does but my clothes are fine without it. one thing that millennials did kill i think is paper napkins. i buy paper towels for cleanup but i only use them in situations where cleaning a dishrag/cloth napkin is gonna be nearly impossible, and for eating i just have a bunch of cloth napkins i bought at target a million years ago for nothing. they just go in the wash

Team away day turned out to not entirely suck. We did a team building thing which was basically just playing Taskmaster, we had a presentation on autism, we ate some nice vegan food and then talked about our therapy service. All in all coulda been a lot more painful

more falafel please posted:i don't really know what fabric softener does but my clothes are fine without it. Good riddance imo Kill paper towels too, free yourself and start using rags for all household cleanup, it's way easier than you might think ( if you have laundry machines). I even say this as someone with a toddler. We buy like one roll of paper towels a year and use it for one reason only - to underlay/press stuff that was just fried in a ton of oil |

the last three pages have been a real rollercoaster. I don't especially care for holidays and I wish my family would take it down another couple notches. They aren't even the over the top people either, over the last decade or so my parents have kind of given up the tree and lights and stuff. Maybe a lil wooden tree cutout my dad made and painted on the mailbox, and the tree decorations he made on the scrollsaw will get displayed above the kitchen window or something. They insist on doing gifts, in spite of my insistence I don't want anything every year. There is too much poo poo in my place already. I can be self sufficient and buy the things I need. This year we're going to AZ to visit my aunt/uncle and cousins. I want to see them, but I hate airports and planes, and there's this whole pandemic thing. I mean, I already have a ticket so I guess it's on. We're doing a kind of generic gift exchange thing? Where we each buy and bring one wrapped gift. Then: quote:We’ll draw a number to see who has first choice of a gift. Person number 2 can either choose a different gift from under the tree or steal the gift from person number 1. And so it goes until all the gifts are opened. a little thin on rules, but I have done something similar with friends a number of years ago and had fun. I just don't know what kind of poo poo to buy for this, because it is ideally something anyone at the table could get something out of. Maybe an accessible game or something.

the gift-stealing game is a family tradition in bios extended family, it is good and fun it often ends up being mostly chocolates though to maximize the odds that somebody will want the thing and then you get to have debates on additional rules, like if your gift got stolen and you pick a new gift to replace it how many turns/actions/whatev have to pass before that can be stolen from you, which is v important when it's like 25 people and the rules are always a lil different each year because nobody agrees on how it was played last year (with my family this debate is like half the game itself and we enjoy it, it is not an onerous fight like it could easily be)
