"You're here, you're nice to me, I love you." They're the best.

"Man's best friend" is not just an empty phrase.

We owe part of the shape of human civilization to them.

Real mashed pots at home are only for company. Just a bit too much work for a regular meal. Of course we're only a couple, if we had kids it might be more of a Sunday dinner thing too.

:confused:

I make mashed potatoes all the drat time, because it's so easy and one of my favorite foods ever.

Boil potatoes (peel 'em first if you want, I usually leave the peel on), then pour off water, mash to bits right in the pot, add butter and milk as necessary, season with salt and pepper.

When I'm feeling fancy, I put the pot back on the stove when I add the butter and let it brown up a bit, before continuing.

My oldest is almost 12 and now she says she is a vegetarian…just threw my whole meal routines out the window. But we make it work

Mushrooms, MSG, liquid aminos, Worcestershire sauce, anything you can use to add umami to dishes will be your friend for any dish where you think it's just missing that certain something.

And spices, definitely be generous with spices. The same goes for toppings and flavorful oils as finishing touches. Black sesame oil is pure liquid gold.

Except not Worcestershire sauce as its got anchovies in!

True, though none of the vegetarians I know seem bothered by it. The vegans avoid it, of course.

A mix of liquid aminos and soy sauce gets you close.

My suggestion: avoid the "news" and social media (or seriously trim your content). I'm only on Instagram, and I don't follow many people or read much political stuff. However, you need a source of information about the actual news and what you need to know. If you find one, lemme know.

So much this.

Clean up your social media, unlike/unfollow almost everything, unfriend anyone toxic, use the "hide all from..." function liberally.

I've cut down my FB to basically only follow local concert venues and festivals, everything else is gone and ignored. No Twitter, no Instagram, no anything else.

It's so nice.
