What did you learn today?

So you know someone you have to gift, but dislike? Because who needs a sugary blue glass of gin???

“When chocolate just isn’t enough, a bottle of blue gin!”

Just today I was giving my boyfriend yet another reason Why Soup Is Not Food. He says I could write a short book about it. But I could scrap all my current material, use only the above quote, and write a shorter book titled Why Soup Is Not Allowed in My Kitchen.

You could collab with my husband, maybe he can write the foreward. Bone broth, especially gets me sneers and unhappy campers. He says next time I have to cook it outside.

Tell him it could still end up painting the fridge no matter where it’s cooked.

Just learned this bit of history. I better see more of these dresses rocking the red carpet hard during the next Oscars.

Dagnamit, didn’t think of it that way, into the bin it shall go, although I might put some in a glass of water first to see what it does.

Awe, thanks Eric. :slight_smile:

Why would you add Sucralose to a product with 65 carbs and the first ingredient is sugar???

McDonald’s story - a co-worker of mine orders:

1 Mushroom & Swiss Burger
2 Double Quarter-Pounders with Cheese
2 Large French Fries

And… a Diet Coke.

That the inexpensive printer I bought for my office, can do lovely color photo scans. Pretty happy about that. Oh and too many scanning programs on a pc can confuse it, so I learned to just use the software that can handle the photos and B&W scans and remove the rest, they are not needed. Guess Ms. Kondo would be very proud of me today. :joy:

Today I learned that putting parsley in my salad makes it a lot less tasty. Best left as a garnish or in some green juice. :expressionless:

That’s like the old joke about the fellow who orders a hot fudge sundae and asks for them to leave off the maraschino cherry, because he’s on a diet!

#1284

I remember that classic “Only in America” joke. Now of course I would defend their decision because even tho they are carbing up with buns and fries, fructose is so uniquely terrible that, yeah, order that Diet Coke.

Only in America - does a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
