No! You will not dis my Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie. <stomps foot>

Here are the flaws with this analogy. First, stealing an iPhone was wrong BEFORE it happened in the story. In the eye-color story, the cultural decision about blue-eyes happened after the parents made their choice. That's blaming them for things outside their set of available knowledge at the time of the decision. And what…

I'm going to Enstrom's tonight to get some Christmas presents for out of state family. Will be so hard to not go nuts for myself.

I was spoiled by my dad and he would buy us girls (not just mom) our own boxes of handmade truffles at Valentine's Day and when he came home from trips. And my grandparents were confused about why we turned up our noses at Whitman Samplers & Russel Stover, to them that was quality chocolate. Gag.

He's right. It's like "mmm, chocolate...who the *kitten* put cough syrup in my chocolate??? Come out now, I'll only kill you a little bit, promise"

Well since you asked us to do so... It is very annoying when someone claims there is this great plan/system/answer to the universe and then leaves you with "Google It". Imagine if students turned in papers like that. If when you got marketing material or talked to a salesperson they refused to actually make the argument…

YOU FORGOT???

Potica! My husband's family (Hispanic) is from the Pueblo, Colorado region, where this Slovenian dessert is VERY popular. Immigrants brought it with them when they came to work in the steel mills. Interesting to see how this dessert has been fully adopted.

Uh, no. Hot Yoga is very beneficial. It takes real muscle strength to hold poses for that long. OP, I do yoga (including hot) and also Orangetheory. Yoga is great for building core strength and improving flexibility, but it isn't a cardio workout. I get the cardio and strength training at OTF.

If you're paying half the rent, you get half the fridge. Don't let your housemate walk all over you.

I love Panera. Partly because they deliver and that regularly saves me at work. Partly because I can get variety of combinations for under 500 calories. I always pick "no side". I know I'm paying for that bread/chips/apple, but I'm better off not having it available.

Nice catch. That's a bit scary.

Nope, they cook on top for only 30 minutes. They are super yummy.

Eating local honey does not help with seasonal allergies, so it doesn't matter. It's the placebo effect in action.

And what would be wrong with that? I hear people say "OMG designer babies" but never hear a rational argument about why that would be inherently bad. If it was perfectly safe*, why would it be wrong as parents for us to make decisions about the kid outside of not having life threatening diseases or debilitating conditions?…

The "like" button isn't good enough. We need a drool button.

I couldn't post a PDF as a picture, but I was able to use the snipping tool on my work computer to make a PNG file. Edited to add I use reduced sodium chicken broth and cream of chicken soup just fine.

I have a PDF of the recipe but can't figure out how to post/link it. But basically you cook carrots, potatoes, parsnips, garlic, chicken thighs, and other stuff in a crock pot. Then towards the end you make dumplings out of cornmeal, cheddar, salt, milk, egg, and butter. Then drop spoonfuls of batter on top and let it cook…

My chicken & dumpling recipe has parsnips and potatoes in it (no peas) and cornbread dumplings. SOOO GOOODDD.

The only medical benefit for honey is soothing sore throats. Other considerations: it is sweeter than white sugar, so you can use less. If are you are careful to buy from a local producer, you can support a small business, something that's harder to do with white sugar. (Though if you buy a major honey brand, it's probably…

Not everyone needs what we picture as "exercise": regular time scheduled for a set routine of cardio or strength training. Someone whose job is heavy on manual labor does not need to go home and spend an hour "working out". They already got that built into their regular day. My uncles were farmers. Their regular workday…

But they are never actually in the shape. They are always just a weird lump. So disappointing.

There I go again, failing to be one of the cool kids.

I do put in my best guesses on food so I have a tracking (and put a note in the notes field). I also try to nibble and fill up on the healthy stuff first. So when we had the holiday meal at work last month, I grabbed the raw veggies, salad, and fruit first and sat down with a half empty plate. Then after I ate and "went…

I think you mean biscuits... Sorry, I couldn't resist, I'm bouncing back and forth between "unpopular opinions" and this thread. They just line up too well with the two definitions of biscuit.

Actually what's worse are the high-powered flush toilets in public bathrooms. They never have lids and they've been shown to throw microscopic material far enough it gets into the ventilation system and spreads to new areas. They found this in hospitals and is a real danger to patients.

Oh look, it's my college roommate. Lived with her for one summer. Her bedroom was WORSE.

She said a small amount of sugar. Plenty of cornbread and biscuit recipes call for a 1-2 teaspoons of sugar. I don't consider it "sweetened" until you're talking about tablespoons or more. I've made sweet cornbread (with honey) and more traditional. It depends on what's being served (and who is eating). I don't have cast…

That sounds like a biscuit.

Oh come on, those are silicone, that won't add to the %.
