Not a life hack but this thread reminds me of Sandra Lee's loving Kwanzaa cake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we2iWTJqo98 (edit) And the Hanukkah cake with the $1 store pearls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj89Ax60DEI 13Pandora13 has a new favorite as of 02:14 on Jul 12, 2014 |

Fragrag posted:Ok, I have to ask, is salt automatically added to fries? Here in Belgium, McDonalds and other fast food chains stopped putting salt on their fries several years ago. Instead, customers grab a small packet of salt to sprinkle. It's applied as the fries come out of the oil (so it sticks better) in the US. With a giant salt shaker. It comes out in visible levels, it's an ungodly amount of salt.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Haha so now your argument is what, that "Cooking Wine" is a varietal? I sincerely hope you're like nineteen. I'd be put off by how smug you are if it wasn't so goddamn cute. Please never serve adults your cooking. I'm not sure why you're being such an rear end in a top hat about this, but if a recipe calls for "dry white wine," and you don't like dry white wine, it's entirely possible you'll have wine leftover you have no interest in drinking. Also, I'm not going to use a bottle of say, the Del Dotto clay cask Red Zin in my cooking, because that's loving ridiculous when an $11 bottle of decent but not as good will do just fine.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Then don't cook things with ingredients you don't like, genius. Or if there's a gun to your head about it for some reason, use decent wine and give the leftovers to someone who likes it. You can namecheck wines you googled while typing up your posts all you want, you're still the guy who's arguing for dumping Hobo's Choice into food you intend for people to eat and getting mad that everyone else isn't impressed by you.  It was just an example because it's what I'm drinking tonight, if I were going to "namecheck" I'd name something more than like $50. Also, not sure if you're aware, but something being cooked with white wine doesn't taste the same as drinking a glass of white wine. Wine wine in poultry dishes isn't an uncommon thing. It's glorious you think you're the only person in this thread who knows anything about wine or cooking.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Says the guy arguing on behalf of cooking wine. Like, can you not tell that everyone else is laughing at you about this, or are you just rationalizing it to yourself somehow? Absolutely no one is falling for your attempts to look like a knowledgeable chef or wine-drinker. I'm not arguing on behalf of (overly salted, poo poo quality) cooking wine, I'm arguing on behalf of it being 100% reasonable for you to have wine just for cooking that you are unwilling to drink. I'm not trying to impress anybody, you're just coming off as really hostile for something that isn't unreasonable at all. Your responses to me have only made your attitude more apparent.

Pocket Billiards posted:Making a taco in a chip packet is the single most stupid thing I've ever read, if it is genuine. Walking tacos! But yeah you use a fork. They're disgusting. My elementary school did them too and I couldn't even watch other people eat them, it looked too much like a bag of vomit. I think this type of poo poo is banned from schools now (thank god) but people still make them and get them from food carts. It has to be a nostalgia thing because there's literally 100s of better things you can get from a food truck nowadays.

cobalt impurity posted:I took driver's ed through a summer course my school district provided. It was two gym coaches teaching a class of 50-70 people over 2 weeks. They said day 1 they were going to teach parallel parking because it's not on the test for our state. I've been driving for like 12 years and I still don't know how to do it. I'm pushing 30 and I have not successfully parallel parked since somehow miraculously doing it on my driving test. #lifehack just pay for valet. gently caress parallel parking forever.

Abroad almost nobody took Amex in France when I was there a couple months back. I don't run into a lot of places in the states that don't but it happens on occasion, mostly at small locally owned businesses who don't want to pay the fees for it.

death .cab for qt posted:They didn't even cook the garlic. Cooking the garlic slightly by, say, melting the butter in a saucepan with all the garlic minced and tossed in would a actually get that sweet garlic flavor in the butter. As it is they just have raw garlic in melted butter. Uh raw minced garlic with olive oil and some melted butter on fresh bread is loving delicious. The salad and tiny rolls with olive oil and garlic are like the best thing at Provino's (a local GA Italian chain). Not that this abortion of a "hack" would compare, but you really don't have to cook garlic for it to be good, it's an entirely different flavor profile.

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:ONE WEIRD TRICK you can get super cheap furniture with crackhead paintjobs at thrift stores and garage sales and often strip away the paint to reveal high grade wood underneath because people are retarded as gently caress. I have a pair of solid white mahogany end tables that have been in my family for four generations now. There's at least five coats of crappy paint on them, and at least one is lead based so I can't power sand.  One of my dream projects once I have space to do it is strip them and put on a nice, quality clear finish because goddamn why did, "let's paint this!" ever come into play.

DemeaninDemon posted:Life hack: use convenient materials regardless of how much they gently caress up the next generation. Two pages ago now, sorry, but this was part of my concern, not just for my own health but environmental contamination. But I do appreciate all the additional tips (that were not, in fact, stupid life hacks but actual solid advice), I know nothing about furniture restoration and I do want to do it correctly and not like some lovely "country chic" mess that seems to be popular with furniture DiYers.

simplyhorribul posted:TBH, it would be nice to have some sort of a gathering thingie attached to the grater. At least I never been able to grate so that I can get all the grated cheese to a cup or whatever the gently caress I have under the grater and then I have to eat the rest from the kitchen surfaces and the floor. Like an animal. My brother picked me up something from the Korean grocery store he works at that's a grater than snaps on to a tupperware like container, snaps off for cleaning, and also has a lid for the container for if you grate extra cheese. It's loving great and I think it was like $5.

Bees on Wheat posted:One of my earliest memories is of a time I went on a day trip to the city with my parents. Had a fancy dinner in Chinatown, probably did some other touristy things, gently caress if I know. My most vivid memory of the entire night was taking a bath when I got home and vomiting strawberry ice cream into a trashcan. I don't even remember getting ice cream.. just it coming back up, and thinking it tasted exactly the same as it did going down. What up, early childhood vomit trauma buddy. When I was 3-4, my parents took me to Olive Garden (we were hella broke back then so Olive Garden was a big deal) and let me have all the breadsticks my tiny fists could jam into my mouth. Needless to say I ate way to goddamn many, self control isn't really like a thing for toddlers, and made it to the parking lot before launching and absolute cannon of pink vomit (breadsitcks + marinara) onto myself, the side of the car, inside of the car, and my poor mother. I was wearing a blue dress, black shoes, and white socks. It is one of my earliest memories and to this day I can't go back to Olive Garden, I think I'll have some kind of Pavlov's dog response if I eat anything. 13Pandora13 has a new favorite as of 02:26 on Apr 21, 2016 |

Hirayuki posted:Shoe-tying was a big part of kindergarten for my son, like the times tables were in third grade. You had to get that poo poo down. It's easier for dyslexic kids to learn to write and read in cursive. A shitload of primary source historical documents are in cursive, and your kid should be able to read them. It helps develop fine motor skills. It looks baller as hell if you've got good cursive handwriting.
