Sounds amazing

About 7 for myself although I’ve actually eaten 15 and not had the same experience. Depends on the strength which is hit or miss

My job is 95% just general maintenance. The ones I’m talking about are the rest. I recognize my bias, I admitted as much. Doesn’t make me feel any different though.

Honestly? Ate enough mushrooms to annihilate my ego and realized my self worth. I don’t recommend that technique but it worked for me.

Not to judge too harshly (but I’m about to) but I spend a lot of my work time inside others homes and I constantly see grown ass men with kids and it’s obvious their entire lives revolve around call of duty or fortnite and I’m like wtf? What job do you have that allows you time to play that stuff so intensely and still be a reasonable role model for your kids?? I’m partly jealous and partly wondering if they’re even involved in shit outside of the gaming. I see it all the time, Dad is playing games while the kids are sitting in front of a tablet with headphones on at 2 in the afternoon on a fucking school day and they’re in their underwear or just diapers. Backyard is a disaster filled with dog shit and toys that haven’t been touched in months and I’m in there spraying pesticides to kill the bugs invading their house because no one in that family has even seen a broom less yet used one. These are upscale homes too, not some crack den. It’s fucking depressing to me mostly because you can almost smell the dysfunction.

I know it’s not everyone but it gets to me when I do see it because one day they’re gonna wonder when that kid grew up and why they are so anti social with them or why no one talks to each other.

Rant over I guess. Harangue me if you all want, I know I just did, but I gave that shit up to be a kick ass dad to my daughter and help her discover her interests, not shoving mine in her face or neglecting her interests for my own. My parents sucked and I see a lot of kids who are gonna feel the same as me.

Long story short, I bet Elden ring is the shit so I’m gonna watch YouTube videos about in bed lol.

It’s like when your friend first showed you 2 girls 1 cup back in the day. Like goddamn why are you even looking at that?! The fuck is wrong with you? I’m out.

That’s fair then. I’m just blown away at that price tag though.

So many eyes. This one makes me feel slightly uneasy. Maybe because the negative space or whatever it’s called. The white parts.

That’s what I suspected. Definitely put them back in the pot after draining over low heat for like ten minutes. That will remove the moisture. The butter and milk are the only moisture you want really. I also melt the butter and whisk it into the milk then add them together slowly as I mash. That way you can get the consistency where you want. You can’t be certain how much water is still in them so sometimes it takes a bit less than you planned but this way the ratio of butter to milk is consistent no matter how much or little you needed.

Measure everything. I use a fancy cooking scale I got for Christmas and I weigh the potatoes after peeling and then adjust my usual amount of ingredients to the weight of the potatoes. Plus you might be over or under boiling the potatoes. You don’t want them mushy but also not too hard. I usually test it with a fork. If I can stab the chunk in the water with a fork and pick it up it isn’t finished, but if I stab it and almost falls apart then it is good. I also soak them in water for hours before cooking to remove some of the starch, might help, might not but I do it. I also cut them in to consistently sized chunks before boiling so each potato is of similar consistency. Also gotta use the right type of potato. Golden will get mushy easily but russet is more forgiving.

Also, this is important. After you drain the potatoes put them back in the pot and cook over low heat to remove the excess moisture. That’s prolly why they’re gooey. If you immediately start mixing them after draining they’ll have too much water.

They don’t do any of that lol they just open the box and cook it. Glad I live 1700 miles away from mess this year

Sounds better than the flavorless mushy bread crumb mess my family serves

I feel bad for the lens.

Whoa $100?! That’s criminal. There’s no turkey in the world worth a bill. Then again I don’t like turkey, but still. Shits like .80¢/lb.

I guess if everyone chips in on it it’s fine but it can’t possibly be that good. Popeyes is sub-par at chicken, which is like their whole thing.

Shit. I don’t have time for games. I’ll watch a YouTube video about it. Gaming for me these days consist of watching some YouTuber breakdown some game I’ve never heard of while I drift to sleep.

It takes work but try to stop giving a fuck what anyone thinks of you. Once I did that my life got so much better. Not to be confused with not caring about others just don’t worry what they think of you. That’s their cross to carry.

Is that an anime? I’m interested. I could Google it but I won’t so don’t leave me hanging.

Popeyes makes turkeys??

Making good mashed potatoes is an art form honestly. I’m really good at it too. I go as far as weighing each potato just so I can have the perfect ratio of ingredients. I think most people’s potatoes are hit or miss because they just add shit until it looks right but if you have a method they can be consistently awesome.

Stuffing has no flavor when my family makes it. Plus the texture makes me gag but texture is like 90% of my hangups with food. I’m a picky eater but I really don’t want to be.
