Being home to deal with the kid stuff was why it took me 13 years to go back to work. It's so hard to not have a parent home during the day to deal with all the poo poo that happens during daylight hours. Now that our kids are teenagers it's easier for us both to work, but it's still not great.

That kid is 24 years old. I feel like he's probably dead and we watched a dude die. This is the most tragic thing I can think of.

Heya TFF! Hope you're having a great new year. I haven't been posting as much lately because I've been distracted by a few things, but I'm still around.

Anyway, wanted to let you know that I'm taking the "new year new you" thing seriously, and by that I mean that I came to terms with being trans. So, yeah! Same shirts, maybe some new cuts of fabric. She/her, and it's a pleasure to re-introduce myself.

You go girl! I hope this new direction in your life and identity makes you the happiest you've ever been.

SB is not allowed to drink. He had ONE sip of beer in Cabo and then spilled all the rest in my beach bag. He's done. No mas.

I like making pot roast in the instant pot. I just sear the meat really well before I let it cook for 60-90 min so you don't end up with weird gray meat. Pretty much anything that normally takes a really long time to make (meaning a long cooking time not prep time) works pretty good in the Instant Pot.

I’ve gotten Braks’ some All-Clad and she was surprised but she liked it. I also got her a Twinkly Christmas tree for her birthday because she’s wanted one for years and she gave me a bit of the side eye. So buyer beware.

The All-Clad was for Valentine's Day.

I have to admit I was very surprised to get a Christmas tree for my birthday in July when my birthday is September. Pardon me, I'm sure.

Would anyone care if Dolly Parton read books to kids? She's got big hair and wears a lot of make up and wears flashy clothes. No, because she's a woman who was born a woman who presents as a woman. Drag queens are only shocking and subversive if you're homophobic or transphobic, in my opinion.

So for his birthday SB asked our daughter to draw him Superman fighting a sharknado that had a minimum of 4 sharks. This is the outcome. Do you ever look at your kid and wonder how something so infinitely cool came from you? I do. All the time.

drat, braks. Your daughter understands 3 point perspective, composition, she's playing around with shading techniques, she's got a good feel for how to give a sense of movement and action to a scene, and she'sdrawn some cute as hell sharks too. I took art classes and was never good enough to do what she knocked out there. How old is she?

She's 16. I know every parent thinks their kid is special but I think it's pretty obvious she has real actual talent. Every time she creates something I'm just blown away. She also sculpts and paints. She's crazy talented.

Foreman grills have the fake grillmark things, you need full contact of the meat against the pan to get the crisp outside

Also I've seen people say you can't really do it right on nonstick surfaces but seasoned cast iron is nonstick so :shrug:

also this I guess. you want your surface to be between 400 and 500

Seasoned cast iron IS nonstick but it’s not a Teflon pan. You’re not supposed to use a coated nonstick pan at high heat and it seems like you need high heat for these burgers. So yeah, cast iron is nonstick because it’s seasoned, not because it was manufactured that way.

It was fair.

We don’t need Krypton, we don’t need Superman’s parents dying again, people know Superman and his story. Follow the example of the Tom Holland Spider-Man regarding the backstory.

Just have him working with Lois on a case for the Planet, saving the world against some threat(Mongul, Darkseid, Brainiac, etc), and he’s confident and gets the job done in the end.

Cliche, maybe but it’s simple and it will work.

Superman is boring that that's why they keep making lovely movies about him. They have to try to put some sparkle on him because he's so gd boring.

Do you have a rice cooker with a steamer basket? Or an instant pot with a steamer rack? I would throw some water in the bottom of the pan and steam those babies for a few min with one of those appliances if I didn't have a microwave (wtf).

I woke up this morning feeling a bit like I'm coming down with a cold. I didn't feel bad enough to stay home from work or anything, but I just feel mildly cruddy. Decided to test this evening after work just to be safe, and it took like 5 min for the test to pop positive. I feel pretty ok, just like I'm starting to get a cold. We'll see how I feel in the next day or two. I have to stay home from work the rest of the week and burn up the only three sick days I've accrued so that kind of sucks.

Much more than you think. Pomade, mousse, and blow drying with a round brush at minimum. Frequent trims to keep it from getting flat and mullet-y.

There’s a fellow I know whom I greatly dislike but everyone else seems to not mind him enough to keep him coming around, and one of his unforgivable transgressions in my eyes was when we all had a cookout. We all went to a nice local butcher shop together, and he bought a four pack of 30-day dry aged ribeyes at like $18/lb and then proceeded to coat them in some disgusting mixture of like olive oil, fish sauce, softened butter and a bunch of other random poo poo and let them marinate for a few hours. Yes, let people do what they want for their food I know, but gently caress, go buy an $8 grocery store steak if you’re going to do that. Kept trying to get me to try a bite because he thought I’d be impressed and I almost threw up.

My in laws go buy ribeyes and then marinate them in a bottle of Great Value Italian salad dressing and Montreal steak seasoning. I cannot even handle that.
