Today I am making borscht with bison ribs. It's my father in law's recipe and he normally uses beef short ribs, but bison was on sale.

I'm winging it a bit. Apparently bison ribs can be tough so I am roasting them a bit before I start the stock.

Take it and wage ceaseless war on HR from your position of power.
My general low-key animosity against HR is more a war of attrition, it is mostly religious in nature - I have a firm belief that humanity is of importance and that you should respect the individual. Sadly I am unable to extend that view to mindless automatons.

But to be fair - my hr guy right now is kinda nice, and I like him... I often tell him that I think he is very pretty.

Do you say it in a kind way or do you stare at him lustfully and tell him he's got a pretty mouth?

mmm... creamy.
There are times when I really miss my old neighbourhood in Copenhagen for its eclectic mix of cultures and styles, one of the few places in the city that had avoided the worst gentrification - where you'd see ur-hipsters next to junkies, ramshackle videostores next to tiny designer boutiques. Mind you, I lived there 15 years ago.

But when I look at poo poo like this I just feel so relieved that I'm not sitting in that cesspool of pretentiousness... I'm sure they're great and passionate people, that it'll be a cool place for 20somethings with too much money to spend on poo poo like overpriced craft beers, vintage lumberjack shirts and horrid tattoos, but gently caress me. Their copy reads like a checklist of a massive corporate entity trying to tap in to the hipster zeitgeist c. 2012.

My parents invited people over for Thanksgiving for the first time. They decided not to bother with turkey this year. Instead, we are having a store-bought frozen lasagna with Burger King tenders and fries as sides. The bread will be rolls that didn't sell the night before on their hot dog cart. They haven't decided if they are going to put the squeeze bottle of cheese out for the fries yet.

My parents haven't told anyone. The only slightly fun part will be watching what happens when everyone arrives from hours of driving and sees the table. Even better will be when someone opens the fridge to see the two turkeys taking the entire bottom half for some reason.

Our Thanksgiving is Saturday. I'll try to take pictures.

I want to say, "That's my other dad," but then I'm claiming that the Burger King is gay. I've only ever seen him creep on women through windows, so that would break canon.

Unless if there's a commercial I don't remember where he creeps on a guy. Then, he's bi, and I still fit in Burger Lore.

I took my Food Safety Managers exam to reup today... It took less than 12 minutes and I passed at 98%. Apparently they allot TWO GODDAMNED HOURS FOR THE TEST? To get into the test, I had to be searched, flash my post-gym thong to a grandma to prove I wasn't hiding notes in my yoga pants waist band, HAD A METAL DETECTOR RUN ALL OVER ME, and lift my pants legs? I'm glad they take food safety so seriously but like, for real?

FYI when I took the LSAT there was no security at all, I got to bring pencils in the test and the didn't even really check my ID.

E2: LSAT offered much more prestigious opportunities too :/

I used mine this weekend. I picked up the KA branded scraping beater but the cookie dough I made really rode up the side with it. So I ordered the same brand I had been using with the old one to see if it worked any differently. i may just need to adjust the bowl height.

Had our monthly dinner party last night with some friends where we rotate the main-side-dessert amongst the three couples involved. My wife and I are the only ones who seem to give a drat about cooking or making delicious food for people, and once again last night we get some lovely underseasoned (read: not seasoned) steamed green beans as a side dish.

What. The gently caress.

All it needs is a little salt and it would taste a million times better. People don't seem to understand how seasoning food properly can really take simple dishes and elevate them. I understand you have three kids and you're busy, but loving add some salt to the beans if you're going to serve them to guests. I love these people, they are my good friends, but every month when we get together, its the same :effort: loving dishes and it pisses me off when we try to do special things when it is our turn.

I'll stop whining now. Sorry about that.
