Does anyone still have a bread box? I assume it’s to stop rodents, but hopefully most people don’t have rodents in their house. Does a bread box do anything else, or is that another technology that can fade into history?

Same with model Y. I’m more concerned with people using that unknowingly instead of the button
Jokes on you …. I’m in the US and my company is trying to bribe us back to the office with good free lunches. Still can’t compete with work from home but half and half is working so far
Mine has a non-stick pan. It all comes down to how quickly you empty it. Emptied immediately, it rinses clean. If it sits around while I eat, I’ll need to scrub a little
Rice cooker was a surprising win for me - usually single use appliances are not worth it, but a rice cooker is, plus you can do more with it than you expect. I have rice much more frequently now that it’s just a matter of clicking a button
I have a basic 6c model that feeds my family with two hungry teens, and currently costs $20 online. Has worked great for years of 3+ meals/week. Non-stick pan makes cleanup simple, although I am trying to get away from non-stick coatings so may replace it soon: stainless steel pan version costs $40
Peanut butter and provolone is one of my favorites
Peanut butter? Upgrading to natural peanut butter made all the difference for me, so it’s no longer just for kids.
I even get decent marmalade, which definitely doesn’t work for kids, or a dark amber maple syrup. I currently have apple butter, which goes nicely on a peanut butter sandwich, or with a scoop of cottage cheese on the side
Yeah, but then you read my main point. Cooking can be a hobby, something you want to do. Find that
Depending on what the food is, you might not even need an ice pack.
We don’t have roadside stalls around me, but that’s exactly what food trucks are for. When I used to work near a bunch of food trucks, the food was fantastic, always different, and so much better than a chain restaurant
Avocado toast! With an egg on top!
Bread in the toaster; mush an avocado with salt, pepper, lime juice; fry an egg and put it on top
Then you realize cooking can be a hobby!
Since COViD, I
This weekend I have a 10 lb pork shoulder to smoke. Easily pulled pork for the week and unless my kids come home from school, I’ll likely freeze a bunch
I think it’s the filtering out of pulp and other solids, leaving only sugary juice that would make it unhealthy. However the point of a smoothy is to blend actual fruit including fiber and other solids, and throw in some protein
Veggie smoothies would be even more healthy than fruit smoothies but I’m not up for trying that yet
My blender has a “Smoothie” program with varying speed and pulsing and sensing when it’s done, so it’s literally one click
Call it healthy enough
But seriously: for the week. I have multiple family members who do this and used to do it myself: most meals last up to a week in the fridge, so just put a little extra in Sunday night so you have leftovers for lunches.
My previous version of this was to start each week with giant: salad, pasta salad, fruit salad. Then I have a complete meal, including variety by just throwing a protein in the toaster oven.
I’m trying to restart something like this now that its back to just me all week: I have a 10 lb pork shoulder for the smoker!
Maybe brown some ground meat and scoop some on, with some chopped veggies and shredded cheese
What’s with these posts of adding random bits of land to a map and saying “derp Americans “? Try harder so we at least get a laugh.
This is like adding random islands in the ocean sort of near Australia and saying “derp Euros think New Zealand exists”
I wonder what the history of this was, and why I never knew about this.
Was there always such a distinction? Did it apply to older toilets as well? Were all my parents, relatives, friends parents just cheap and got the wrong one?
So weird. It always seems to pump air through the overflow and do no good. By the time you figure out how to plug the overflow, you might as well have taken off the trap and emptied it in the trash …… especially with PVC traps where it all just comes apart without tools
Never thought of that - I usually put baked goods in the microwave to keep them sort of fresh. Is it big enough for a 9”x12” baking pan? Tall enough for a layer cake?
