To gain her revenge, it only took two easy steps:<br /><br />1) Post her driver's license with her parents' address after she'd moved out of the home.<br /><br />2) Post a photo she knew ahead of time would go viral in an incredible bad way.<br /><br />Immensely unlikely, I know, but it would be damn crafty...Peteynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-73583001281355440542013-11-04T16:19:52.771-05:002013-11-04T16:19:52.771-05:00I had a professor in college who would, to horrify...I had a professor in college who would, to horrify us all, read selected items from the Federal Register that specified how much food had to be in food (12% chicken to be a chicken pot pie, as I recall), and how much other stuff could be in food (like what's allowed to be in peanut butter, which I will not mention). He strongly advised us to never do any research on the matter if we wanted to eat.Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05693481720368030657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-5863874283288801112013-11-04T13:05:26.522-05:002013-11-04T13:05:26.522-05:00"Is my apartment bugged?"
Of course. D...<i>"Is my apartment bugged?"</i><br /><br />Of course. Didn't you carefully read the Blogger EULA?<br /><br /><i>"...to a pan that already contained oil and meticulously chopped (OK, chopped) garlic cloves..."</i><br /><br />My two cents here is that coarsely chopped garlic is <b>better</b> for gravy. But opinions differ.<br /><br /><i>"And out came a bit of, as the more-blasé-than-I-am like to call it, extra protein, in the form of a whole, if desiccated, fly. No arrabiata was had."</i><br /><br />Think of all the starving children in India who could've benefited from that extra protein. For shame, Phoebe. For shame.<br /><br />(And, as always, while unbugged red pepper flakes are a good standby, I highly recommend substituting a small amount of fresh habanero for gravy. Half a pepper should be good for an arrabiata for two. Habaneros add an extra delicious flavor, which additionally highlights some of the other ingredients in the gravy.)<br /><br />-----<br /><br />Also, vote tomorrow. Top-line ballot results may be a done deal, but margins matter, and downballot matters a lot.Peteynoreply@blogger.com
