At one place I'd put down my stuff, undress, wash my feet and remove my makeup, put my hair up and put on comfy clothes, and then lay on my bed to read mail. At another place, I'd usu...

I usually go through two glasses of water with a meal, because I need to stop and clear the palate. I've suffered with the fatigued palate since I was a kid. The big portions being served don't help.

So how does one use the oyster sauce in jars from the supermarket? There's no real instructions.... do you thin it with water or just add it as is?

Our family liked a small roll or piece of bread smeared with butter. The butter is sweet enough to satisfy a craving and the bread just cleanses the palate. If I had a choice between ice cream or c...

I used to work above a convention center, and one exposition brought in additional food vendors. The line for funnel cakes in the middle of winter was astounding. My coworkers and I would make two ...

Raw tomatoes, eggs, sushi, wine. Raw tomatoes smell/taste like raw pumpkin to me, eggs are just a disgusting concept, sushi has awful texture and horrible flavor, and wine is so SOUR. And yet they ...

I have to say that eggs, in general, are pretty repulsive to me. You're eating chicken menstruation, why does no one seem to find that disturbing?!

As a funny aside, after that rant (I've been harassed twice today at work about dairy), my own mother, who cleaned up my projectile baby vomit before switching me to soy, who made special arrangeme...

@matchbookhymnal - WORD about leaving us the hell alone with food suggestions. I'm so sick of people who have no idea how much even a little gassiness can hurt, let alone the worse problems, tellin...

@brianmac - Is it because you won't stop hogging the conversation or are you just taking pauses and enjoying the food? I hate having lunch with one person in particular because we can...

@hrhprincessfiona - When I see a live shrimp I wonder who the heck thought a sea roach would turn out so delicious?! Same with lobster and crab, it just seems so unlikely that someone would try to ...

Neither of my previous items were IKEA, though. However, I have a dining room/craft table from IKEA that refused to let me drill the screws in all the way to attach the top to the bas...

I once had to put a metal leg for a microwave cart in the freezer for an hour because I had assembled two of the items the wrong way - and they stuck! They came apart fairly easily when I took it o...

All you people complaining about how gross the egg separator is are the ones people like me buy them for, knowing you'll be grossed out even thinking about it. We're just like that :)

The ceiling piece is awesome!

I used the public transit system exclusively while I was in LA. I had no problem with it. I also lived near a hotel, so if I needed to go someplace funky I could just use a cab obtained from there....

OK, the way I was taught was: * Sautee the mushrooms and onions together; put aside * While they cook, sprinkle your meat strips with garlic powder; put into a pile * Prep ...

A nice mild-flavored dog, lightly buttered and grilled bun, with crispy bacon down one side and a cheese with kick down the other (I like pepper jack). After the first two bites, add ketchup.

Newsflash: The internet is serious business. On another note, I don't recall AT posters being so eager to jump on the "I'm better than you because..." train even a year ago. Y'all are...

I loathe the smell of coffee, so I'd just have to move. You have my DEEPEST sympathies :(
