  • Measure everything. I use a fancy cooking scale I got for Christmas and I weigh the potatoes after peeling and then adjust my usual amount of ingredients to the weight of the potatoes. Plus you might be over or under boiling the potatoes. You don't want them mushy but also not too hard. I usually test it with a fork. If I can stab the chunk in the water with a fork and pick it up it isn't finished, but if I stab it and almost falls apart then it is good. I also soak them in water for hours before cooking to remove some of the starch, might help, might not but I do it. I also cut them in to consistently sized chunks before boiling so each potato is of similar consistency. Also gotta use the right type of potato. Golden will get mushy easily but russet is more forgiving.

    Also, this is important. After you drain the potatoes put them back in the pot and cook over low heat to remove the excess moisture. That's prolly why they're gooey. If you immediately start mixing them after draining they'll have too much water.

  • They don't do any of that lol they just open the box and cook it. Glad I live 1700 miles away from mess this year

  • Sounds better than the flavorless mushy bread crumb mess my family serves

  • I feel bad for the lens.

  • Whoa $100?! That's criminal. There's no turkey in the world worth a bill. Then again I don't like turkey, but still. Shits like .80¢/lb.

    I guess if everyone chips in on it it's fine but it can't possibly be that good. Popeyes is sub-par at chicken, which is like their whole thing.

  • It takes work but try to stop giving a fuck what anyone thinks of you. Once I did that my life got so much better. Not to be confused with not caring about others just don't worry what they think of you. That's their cross to carry.

  • Making good mashed potatoes is an art form honestly. I'm really good at it too. I go as far as weighing each potato just so I can have the perfect ratio of ingredients. I think most people's potatoes are hit or miss because they just add shit until it looks right but if you have a method they can be consistently awesome.

  • Stuffing has no flavor when my family makes it. Plus the texture makes me gag but texture is like 90% of my hangups with food. I'm a picky eater but I really don't want to be.

  • I used to live in England back in 1999-2004 on and off during the summer with my mom. Even then we were a fucking joke. I learned very quickly to lose my Texas accent and just tell people I was Canadian. I literally almost got my ass kicked several times after 9/11 when my fellow Brits found out I was from America. I wasn't even old enough to vote at the time. I haven't been back since 2009 but I suspect nowadays they'd just feel sorry for me. I live in California now which is rife with it's own problems but at least my family and I feel somewhat safer here than in Oklahoma or Texas where we lived most our lives. I couldn't raise my daughter in Oklahoma and feel that in doing what's best for her. Plus California is fucking beautiful and there's so much to do and see! Cost of living is the only downside here for me.

  • Brushing regularly is the correct answer

  • Afaik there's no button to get to the next page but I appreciate the idea. Guess I'll wait for an update or just scroll hot by hour or something.

  • Ok I just tried like you said and switched to subscribed and it works fine on hot but not the others.

  • Interesting. I tried other sorting methods and even scaled won't load more posts but top by "whatever" will load all day. I'm a rare exception here in that I know fuck all about computer stuff so I have no idea. I think I saw someone saying the same thing on the boost instance so it must be a wider thing. I'll try the hidden post thing but I'm not sure if that's a thing on jerboa? I've never intentionally hidden anything, just blocked shit I don't wanna see. Thanks for the reply.

  • Rarely see them here in the Sacramento (Northernish California) area but definitely see a troubling amount of flags, stickers, and signs and such. A lot of these fuckwads are my customers and it's tough trying to provide them my services and be cordial about it honestly. If I was a shitty person like them I would sabotage my work and say fuck them but I feel pretty certain that's exactly what they do and I'm better than them.

  • Step 1 - have money

    Step 2 - ??

    Profit

  • Stamets for sure

  • Pretty sure that's what diapers are
