For minced garlic I generally go with from a jar but for some things thinly sliced garlic slivers can't be beat and I don't think you can buy that pre-prepped

I just use a cheese grater if I need that. (I got rid of my mandoline; I was tired of goring myself on it and my kitchen looking like a Friday the 13th kill scene. Being on lifelong anticoagulation sucks.)

We're doing a Friday matinee of Spider-Man (as my niece said, it's now or never the way poo poo gets spoiled) and I'm trying to keep my expectations to low-medium.

It probably helps that I was one of the very few people that thought the Willem Dafoe Green Goblin sucked.

IMO Dafoe was a pretty silly Green Goblin but a very good Norman Osborne.

Probably not gonna see that movie until it ends up on streaming though. Not sure that I care enough about the MCU at this point to go to an actual theater. The wife and I saw Shang-Chi at a drive-in which was cool though.

a historian friend of mine made a great point once when she told me that its an historic aberration to have workers go home and make their own food. typically in most cultures through medieval and modern history you just went to some local dining hall or cart on the way home.

When I did injury claims I had a woman take her literal baby to the chiropractor who did an adjustment and then they took the baby to a real doctor and found the baby had a crack in the transverse process of the vertebrae. The woman lost her mind *at me* when I told her that her baby did not need 6 weeks of daily chiro treatment to FIX A FRACTURE

I see so many claims that just drag out with endless chiro "treatment". It's so annoying.

Get a garlic press. I was skeptical at first and thought it wouldn't save that much time. But I hate chopping garlic so it's so much more satisfying to smash it.

Yeah, I keep superglue in my silverware drawer because even if I'm chopping something with my chef's knife, one bad cut and there's going to be blood, everywhere, and the bleeding won't stop for 15 - 20 minutes. I've never gored myself so badly that I've needed to go to the ED and be evaluated for blood loss, but there are times I've come close to calling a cab for it.

A few months ago I spent about a week in the hospital and an IV that was in my collarbone area infiltrated and began bleeding everywhere. Absolutely ruined the T-shirt I was wearing, because it was almost completely drenched in blood within about 30 seconds flat.

That reminds me I need to get a new nonstick pan. I've had my current one for maybe seven years? And the drat thing's warped, now.

I had a nonstick pan for 10-15 years because I treat my cookware better than I treat my kids. Well, SB and I went away for a weekend and when I came back, my precious pristine skillet was scratched all to hell and sitting in the dishwasher. My MIL who was babysitting for us scrambled eggs in the pan WITH A FORK and then slammed the thing into the dishwasher to clean it. I legit cried. You can ask SB. I was heartbroken.

Anyway, I got a new set of 3 for $30 at Costco and they're really good.

We were talking about sliced garlic though not minced. Just get the jar for minced gently caress it

I wouldn't bother using a cheese grater, it's so easy to just use a knife. But then again some people would scoff at me for using the jar and tell me how easy it is to mince so

I would definitely buy sliced garlic in a jar if it was available :effort:

I bought two Woll non stick pans last year and they've been incredible. You can't get anything to stick to them. They're a bit spendy but I use them all the time so I can justify it.

It's sort of like how our boomer parents (my sperm donor was born in 1948, my mom in 1950) are still convinced that you need to vulcanize pork to like 170 degrees even though the FDA has been saying 145 for two decades and the supply chain isn't anywhere as contaminated as it was 50 years ago; the risk of trichinosis is essentially nonexistent.

There are no less than 20 silicone spatulas RIGHT THERE in a crock on the counter right next to the stove. It is literally more work to open the drawer and pull out a fork than it is to grab one of those spatulas. My kids told me that when they saw her use the fork they were like "Mom's gonna be maaaaad" and yet, she just scrambled away.

I love my MIL. She's one of my besties, but she treats her cookware as if it's disposable and I just do not do that.

If it's any consolation, a lot of old nonstick cookware is surfaced with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon. That is a "forever chemical." It's accurate but misleading to call it "plastic," because it's far far worse than plastic. It does not break down ever, every drop of the stuff we've manufactured for the last ninety years will be hanging around on the planet for millennia. PFOA is a toxic chemical used to bond PTFE to cookware; it is known to be a cancer agent. It's particularly dangerous to heat anything with PFOA above about 500 degrees F - which you possibly could do without realizing it, since nonstick pans are often really thin, low-thermal-mass, and the direct flame or element you're cooking on could heat one spot to that hot.

Maybe more importantly, it's a family of chemicals we simply cannot manufacture safely. Huge amounts of it are in our water and soil, and we have to stop making more.

So you probably want to not only replace your old nonstick cookware regardless, you definitely should buy PTFE & PFOA-free cookware. I'm a fan of stainless, ceramic-coated, and cast iron; I can make eggs not stick in a properly seasoned cast iron pan, but using oil in the ceramic-coated one works pretty well too.

So outlook has a thing where it connects with gmail automatically through whatever computer magic and that’s what I was doing.

I then googled the IMAP settings and set my account up manually through that and now it’s working great. Can’t figure out how to give it access to our conference room scheduler but I’m guessing that’s a whole other thing.
