  - They probably have some kind of duct system to get air to those rooms. -- nm - Ender Feb 9, 08:52
  - that was my thought oo. the deck and view looked great -- nm - Beaker Feb 9, 08:37
  - The design kills me but I love the apartment. The deck is sick! There are massive windows but she has them covered. - Krusty Feb 9, 08:37 1
    - The deck is a perfect 10. Everything else is "let them eat cake". -- nm - David Feb 9, 08:47

Dangit, my wife's too old (by 1 year) to get her student debt forgiven. - spamlet Feb 9, 07:49 14
- There's a joke in there about your wife being too old, but you'd be wise not to make it. -- nm - Polar Baron Feb 9, 08:02 6
  - She's a couple of months older than I am so I doubt it's anything I haven't said before. - spamlet Feb 9, 08:04 5

  - There's a specific one for teachers. - spamlet Feb 9, 08:02 5
    - it was actually cheaper for me to refi than to get forgiven after ten years. that sounds crazy, I know. - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Feb 9, 08:13 4
      - Stupid fine print - znufrii Feb 9, 08:37 2
        
        refi-ing was the best financial move I've ever made. everyone with student loans should at least look into it. -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Feb 9, 08:45 1
        
        Yup -- nm - znufrii Feb 9, 08:54
      - We have silly low rates and I'm (not really) complaining. It'd be nice to get the forgiveness but isn't life or death. -- nm - spamlet Feb 9, 08:19

Hey CQ, when you make your pasta sauce, do you always cook the meat first, or have you thrown it into the pot/crockpot uncooked? - kelly Feb 9, 07:14 19
- always brown it first. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 9, 08:01
- Browning the meat first makes the sauce taste better. -- nm - Roger More Feb 9, 07:51
- I made sauce with sausage yesterday and I cooked the sausage first and then put it in the sauce for an hour+. -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 07:19
- cook it. gets alot of the fat out (plus blood) -- nm - Beaker Feb 9, 07:19
- brown it first -- nm - decline Feb 9, 07:18
- Not CQ, but we when we add sausage, we do not pre-cook. -- nm - MDH Feb 9, 07:17 11
  - If I cook it inside the sauce, is there a chance I could kill my guests? I'm not saying that's necessarily a deal-breaker. -- nm - Polar Baron, paraphrasing West Wing Feb 9, 07:36 10
    - You should definitely check the temp of the meat to make sure it's done. - Krusty Feb 9, 07:42 9
      - I keep it in the crock pot all day, so it would definitely be done. -- nm - kelly Feb 9, 07:48 6
        
        That should work. We just got a crock pot a month ago and my gf has been using it daily. I haven't tried using it myself. - Krusty Feb 9, 07:58 5
        
        I have 2 crock pots going today; one has sauce (with meat), the other has sauce with no meat, but there will be meatballs cooking in the sauce. - kelly Feb 9, 07:59 4
        
        and that's just to keep Will at baseline. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 08:06
        
        Going to be a happy house tonight! What kind of meat is the sauce, ground beef? - Krusty Feb 9, 08:03 2
        
        Yeah, ground beef. I did brown the meat. - kelly Feb 9, 08:08 1
        
        Heh. :-) I totally get that feeling. Sometimes I don't cook simply because the clean up will be hassle. FWP! -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 08:11
      - That was my concern. In his recipe, I doubt the meat gets hot enough to thoroughly cook. -- nm - spamlet Feb 9, 07:48 1
        
        I don't know enough to say. I would guess it might be but I don't know how hot the sauce is when it's cooking. - Krusty Feb 9, 08:00
- [deleted]
- I can double check with my wife but I think that we always brown it. - spamlet Feb 9, 07:16

      - am I totally off base? - Epiphany Feb 9, 08:03 2
        
        Yes. As Kim says, the worst part of an episode ending is knowing we have to wait 7 days for another. -- nm - David Feb 9, 08:15 1
        
        I'm going to guess its me then - Epiphany Feb 9, 08:38
