Slow cooker that!

Everyone who is like 40-60 has trauma around pork chops because in like the 60s-70sish we started to breed pigs to be much leaner. Add to people in that era having really big fears of trichinosis, and suddenly no one knew how to cook pork anymore

Softened water, maybe. When we had a water softener we had a separate tap for drinking water

Oh, baby kidneys can't process a lot of salt. You don't have to be that strict, but you are supposed to limit. Kinda similar to how babies can't have water before a certain age

Yes but specifically my pet peeve is when people say "bloated" when what they are is "full".

I have a pet peeve about that

Man, I AM a picky eater (ARFID, probably) and I still ask that. At least half my problem is my mother could not cook

I like those movies a stupid amount XD

Thanks, lol. I don't actually enjoy ground beef in most situations, but my mother grew up eating them and she loves them.

It's not the closest, but I make these german(ish, it's complicated) bread things that are rolls stuffed with ground beef and sauerkraut. Like "meat plus grain" is the basis of... so, so many foods.

This was also fun - read my blog, it's like this but long.

Not fractured! Probably just overusing it.

Anyways, I'm going to the hospital on Monday for more x-rays.

So if you sprain something badly enough, try to make them give you follow up x-rays in a few weeks.

Oh, I didn't tell you all what's going on here, did I?

Remember when I sprained my wrist? Well, it was feeling a lot better... and then it started getting worse again. Turns out, it might be fractured and the sprain could have been basically holding it together!

I had to get my wrist checked at the doctor today and he was like "And your hand looks a little red!" and I had to break it to him that, yeah, no, that's just the eczema.

Apparently he says "Re-geena" for the city. And "toke".

Look, I only watch skating every 4 years, so I don't pretend to be an expert.

But what the fuck were the judges smoking today and is it even legal in Italy?

Book Blogger Memory ChallengeΒ  I want to do more fun posts this year, so I thought I would find a few book tags to do. And this one seemed fun. I have a very strange memory at times, lol. This tag was originally created byΒ Laura @Β Laura’s Book Reviews. The rules are as follows: You have to answer the prompts without using the internet or looking at your bookshelves.

Disagree. If people are caring for themselves and staying sane in whatever way works for them personally, I think they have more energy to do good in the world.
