  • We all go to a lot of the same parties.

  • In fact, yes.

    I forget exactly how, but basically roll out some uncased sausage into a thin sheet which you divide and use to wrap some peeled soft boiled eggs. Then the wrapped eggs undergo a traditional flour-egg-crumb dredge before a quick deep-fry in 365°F neutral oil to a desirable shade of brown.

    From the pic, I'll wager I cut in some Parmesan cheese (green can) and corn meal into the dredge. Probably also some salt, pepper, and herbs.

    There are some good online recipes. I haven't published one, myself, but I should.

  • Mang... U do u.

    o7

  • Ketchup? Hear me out...

    Dijon mustard & Old bay.

    Or Sriracha...

    Or Frank's Buffalo sauce....

    Or, Heinz cut with mayo, mustard & Worcestershire....?

    Just... Please, no. Not just the ketchups.

  • Congratulations!

    I've had my place 20 years. Here's a couple of tips:

    If you're not already in a fixed rate loan, refi into one as soon as its feasible for you.

    The Home Depot 1-2-3 series books will save you thousands in basic troubleshooting and repairs. YouTube is really good for general handyman advice too. Caveat: learn your limits and don't take on anything you don't know ypu can see through. Several hours' research is generally all you need.

    Be judicious about home warranties. They'll spam you with FUD. Just hang out at a local trades bar and chat with the regulars. You'll learn a lot.

    Electric and water generally* pretty are easy. Don't mess with the gas lines.

    If you DO undertake your own repairs, don't cut corners and leave it for the Next Guy. That Next Guys will inevitably be you.

    Nothing will be plumb, square or true. You learn to deal with it.

    If you like to use rich colors in your décor, learn about tinted primers, especially when dealing with red paints.

    Equity is Capital. Don't touch it except for capital improvements to the structures & grounds, and even then be judicious. I'm talking new roof, new sump, kitchens & baths. Do not usenit to pay off consumer debt or college loans. No matter how tempting.

    Really, Don't Touch The Capital.

    Live there for you. Its your house. Make it your personal retreat from the world, and set it up how you like it. Don't worry about resale until it's actually time to sell.

    Again, congratulations and good luck!

  • I mean....

    Steam? Maybe? I dunno, I don't game but the Steam kids seem to prefer Arch. I'm sure they have their reasons.

    Practically? Probably nothing terribly significant.

  • As someone on semaglutide therapy, I can share that a large calorie deficit hits you in the wills to live. At some point even just eating feels like a stop at the gas station to fuel up, and it hardly matters whether it's 87 or 95 octane. Hell, rancid fry oil would even work. At some point, you stop caring whether you eat because it feels like another chore.

    Eventually your metabolism syncs up again with your energy demand and you start getting interested in food, except you're way more selective about how you're (edit: spending) acquiring those calories. I almost can't abide by junk food, fast food, or breaded fried crap anymore. But neither do I want salad or vegetables because they're "fluffy." Too much volume, not enough calories. I want about 6 or 10 forks full of food, and then that's it. And it'd best taste good, or I can't be bothered. Restaurants easily stop looking like a good deal.

    Anyway that's a digest of my diary for the last 22 months. Do with the info as you will.

  • Your alternatives aren't shelf stable. That's all there is to it.
