Neither of my parents are dead. Neither of my parents are in jail for killing the other parent. Kinda amazing after 42 years together. - ty97 Apr 6, 09:22 1
- wow ... 42 years - that's a long time -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:32
Despite liking the ingredients, this looks gross -- (link) - ty97 Apr 6, 09:20 2
- local brew pub has "totchos" on their menu ... nachos made with tator tots - millenials LOVE them -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:33
- I'm sure they're fine, but that is not how I'd choose to eat either of those things -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 09:22
What's the difference between broth and stock? Is there a difference? -- nm - kelly Apr 6, 09:17 15
- Thanks, folks. So they are interchangeable, taste-wise? -- nm - kelly Apr 6, 09:31 7
  - for cooking? sure. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 09:37
  - This site says that broth is seasoned and stock is unseasoned. -- (link) - mara Apr 6, 09:33 2
    - in my mind, broth is always saltier -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:35 1
      - Yeah. I mean, you're probably going to add salt anyway, but with stock you can control how much. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:36
  - stock will have a richer taste -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:32 2
    - Yup. Bones are delicious. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 09:33 1
      - I've never had bone marrow ... have heard it's delicious though. I'm guessing the marrow is part of what makes the stocks so rich. -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:36
- not for the easily squeamish or the people on ST who eat like children...nmb definition - Diva Apr 6, 09:21 4
  - I agree with Diva. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 6, 09:37
  - I read this as "ST who like to eat children." and wondered where exactly we went wrong. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:24 2
    - As did I...and I won't lie. A few names sprang to mind. -- nm - David Apr 6, 09:37
    - I just snorted out loud. -- nm - Diva Apr 6, 09:25
- stock is made more with bones, broth more with meat - but they are pretty much interchangeable for most recipes -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:21
- Essentially, when they are cooled, a stock will be a solid whereas a broth will remain a liquid. -- (edited) - Shaun Apr 6, 09:21
In other fashion ad news - Gucci has been banned from using an advert in the UK which features an "unhealthily thin" model. -- (link) - LMS Apr 6, 09:16 2
- I was going to defend Gucci but then I looked. Her waste is smaller than her skull. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:18 1
  - yeah that is gross -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 09:19
Pic of B.C. as Doctor Strange. -- (link) - Shaun Apr 6, 09:15

  - have you foght in the EVE war yet? don't be a chicken! -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 09:19 3
    - heh. I'm thinking about it. There are some public fleets that form up pretty regularly. It is difficult because I'm living in a wormhole - oblique Apr 6, 09:20 2
      - EVE: Valkyrie is also getting some nice reviews. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 09:24 1
        
        Yeah, the game looks great. I can't really justify the cost of the VR Hardware though. -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 09:30
right now would be a spectacularly inopportune time for Ted Cruz's name to leak from that DC Madam's list of johns - the brain Apr 6, 09:10
ST Food Wars Poll -- Declare your allegiance - znufrii Apr 6, 09:04 12
- Pizza: I haven't tried all the kinds, so I can't pick. Bagels: Toasted plain bagels with peanut butter and jam. Hot dogs: Hot Dogs. Cheesecake: Blech. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:33 1
  - (Also, a tuna melt on a jalapeno cheddar bagel is pretty good) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:34
- Well you're right about the pizza at least. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 09:12
- Yes, no, no, no. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 09:11
- Pizza: Yes. Bagels: CC. Hot dogs: Hot dogs. Cheesecake: Cheesecake. - Shaun Apr 6, 09:05 1
  - In fact, I am having a slice right now and it is folded! -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 09:07
- any pizza, lightly toasted with cream cheese, a hot dog is not a sandwich. and it says cake right in the name! -- nm* - Beaker Apr 6, 09:05
- Deep dish, n/a, not a sandwich, gross -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:05 3
  - Motion to ban cheesecake haters from ST -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 09:13 2
    - The name alone makes it an automatic veto. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:21
    - cheesecake should be NY style - baked -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:19
- Mayo vs Miracle Whip -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:05

Interesting - there's an app (for IOS only so far) that splits your restaurant bill based on gender inequality for pay scale. -- (link) - JenBro Apr 6, 08:59 4
- amanda uses the one that splits your bill based on IQ inequality -- nm - the brain Apr 6, 09:27 1
  - ooohhhhh ... that's a great idea! -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:31
- If you're using IOS, you can afford to pick up your part of the check! -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 09:02 1
  - LOL -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:04
I tried to watch Pitch Perfect 2 last night - wtf were they thinking with that piece o' crap? - decline Apr 6, 08:52 7
- I'm strongly in the minority here. It wasn't the first one, but I was still entertained. -- nm - pmb Apr 6, 09:16
- I have a hard time thinking it was written by the same person. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:58
- I've seen neither of the PP movies but the reactions remind me of Legally Blonde 2 -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 08:56 2
  - Legally Blonde? Sounds more like Legally Crap. - Shaun Apr 6, 09:04
  - apt -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 08:58
- it's really bad. -- nm - Diva Apr 6, 08:54
- yeah, it was spectacular how they completely destroyed the good will built up by the first one -- nm - PFM, head shaved in 9 days Apr 6, 08:52
This business of The ST Bagel Civil War will get out of control, and we'll be lucky to live through it -- nm - PFM, head shaved in 9 days Apr 6, 08:51 4
- It's just a minor skirmish compared to the ongoing pizza hostilities. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:53 3
  - the battle lines are much more murky though -- nm - decline Apr 6, 08:54
  - Is pizza a sandwich? If you fold it, it's like a hot dog bun with stuff inside. Just sayin. -- nm - volnelk Apr 6, 08:54 1
    - And there goes that ceasefire... -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:01
I just realized why I am so grumbly today. ST Poll: Name one thing you have to do at your job that you irrationally hate. - Spawn Apr 6, 08:51 14
- Performance review self-assessments ... and a canadian thing called SRED (or "Shred"), but I haven't had to do that for several years. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:34
- just my performance reviews -- nm - the brain Apr 6, 09:09 2
  - i just had mine. as usual it was about 3 minutes. "we're good. you good? good!" -- nm* - Andie Apr 6, 09:10 1
    - Pretty sure that is not at all how pixie's go. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:15
- show up -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:05
- everything -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 08:59
- Register 17 and 18 have a wall behind where I stand which makes me feel claustrophobic and "trapped" yet I still have to go on them. - Qale Apr 6, 08:57 2
  - Also: Your ideas intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter Spawn. Monthly. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 08:58 1
    - Meet the newsletter. Same as the... oldnewsletter. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:00
- Schedule interviews. - David Apr 6, 08:54

  - I meant more the *level* of hate. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:53
znu, from B3, the SEC has very little to do with fiduciary rules - it's all the DOL -- nm - decline Apr 6, 08:49 3
- Right. - znufrii Apr 6, 08:52 2
  - most all of ERISA is regulated by the DOL. I think it's really because nobody else wants to deal with the morasse it's become -- nm - decline Apr 6, 08:53 1
    - Gotcha -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:56
If anything that ad is short-ist. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 6, 08:48 2

- Finn's back! - David Apr 6, 08:45
- Gil! - Dark Callisto Apr 6, 08:44
- Gilrms?! -- nm - Mop Apr 6, 08:43
- I would watch Gilmore Gremlins. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:43
Bernie lost my vote when he said you use a token to ride the NYC subway -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 08:41 42
- You lost my vote when you admitted to toasting fresh bagels. - Krusty Apr 6, 08:48 32
  - Please describe what a "fresh" bagel is like. - Spawn Apr 6, 08:56 5
    - Crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. It should be airy and not dense. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 09:03
    - Soft, a bit moist (not wet of course, but not dry and hard) - ty97 Apr 6, 08:57 1
      - Okay, guess I have never had one. I will callback my opinions of them, I guess. - Spawn Apr 6, 09:01
    - Baked that day, preferably still warm. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:57
    - not a briquette. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:56
  - wut - ML Apr 6, 08:50 1
    - Agreed -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 09:22
  - Or, you know, eating bagels. -- nm - David Apr 6, 08:49 11
    - I'm literally walking to the bagel store as I type this. Bagels are awesome! - Krusty Apr 6, 09:05 6
      - Check my Instagram for proof. On my way to eat an everything with cream cheese, not toasted. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 09:11
      - I have a feeling I might like them but the problem would be with what to put on them. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:08 3
        
        You can put whatever you want. Butter, cream cheese, cream cheese with things in it, jelly, just about any spread will work. - Krusty Apr 6, 09:13 2
        
        mmmm, nutella - ty97 Apr 6, 09:14 1
        
        I've had it. Not bad at all. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 09:23
      - TURN AROUND BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! -- nm - David's iPad Apr 6, 09:07
    - Welcome to the party, pal! -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:56
    - I weep for you because you've probably never had a real bagel and don't know what you are missing. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 08:53 2
      - There are always bagels in this house. Some gremlin devours them. I pity the gremlin. -- nm - David Apr 6, 08:55
      - I never had a bagel until I came out to here for college -- nm - PFM, head shaved in 9 days Apr 6, 08:55
  - It's so the butter will melt! -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 08:49 11
    - You are ruining the bagel by toasting it. The soft and chewy bagel is now hard and crunchy. Their greatness lies in the crunchy exterior and - Krusty Apr 6, 09:24
    - You need proper bagel toasters that toast the inner side but don't toast the outer side. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 09:08
    - I agree with ty on this one. Toasted bagels with butter are the best way to eat them. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 6, 08:51 3
      - toasted with either butter or cream cheese (esp. like a chive cream cheese) - decline Apr 6, 08:53 2
        
        local place makes this "veggie" cream cheese - but in addition to the usuals - carrots/onion/etc - they add radish and garlic - it's so delicious - JenBro Apr 6, 09:17 1
        
        oh and dill too ... there is chopped up fresh dill -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 09:18
    - which is why cream cheese is so much better than butter. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:50 4
      - I'm just not a big cream cheese fan in general. - ty97 Apr 6, 08:53 3
        
        I make a potato chip dip out of cream cheese and ketchup. - groiny Apr 6, 08:54 2
        
        I don't really like ketchup. Or dip. - ty97 Apr 6, 08:55 1
        
        How can someone not like dip? I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS! -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 09:09
- Are you sure you're just not thinking of Larry David's parody? -- nm - Mop Apr 6, 08:43 3
  - It's from the NY Daily News editorial board interview -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 6, 08:44 1
    - Again, are you sure this wasn't just a Larry David prank? -- nm - Mop Apr 6, 08:51
  - Who can tell? -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:43
- when do you think the last time he rode the Subway was? - groiny Apr 6, 08:42 3
  - back when they actually did use tokens -- nm - decline Apr 6, 08:46 1
    - Which was as recently as 2003 -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:50
  - It undermines his socialist credentials if he hasn't. -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 08:44
- "In my day...!" -- nm - Mop Apr 6, 08:42
I found Adventureland mostly depressing, and Reynolds was ok in it, but I would not put it ahead of most of his work. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:40 13
- I didn't like Adventureland...it was ... existing. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:50 2
  - I dunno, Amy Smart was pretty damn hot in Road Trip. - groiny Apr 6, 08:52 1
    - "Hello, Joyce?....." never fails to slay me. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:15
- I'd probably have it in my top 25 for the 2000s. I watch it a lot. - David Apr 6, 08:43 9
  - Are you sure you aren't thinking of his character in Waiting... or virtually every other movie he's in? -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 09:01 3
    - This is because I haven't put you in timeout in a while, isn't it? -- nm - David's iPad Apr 6, 09:04 2
      - I actually really liked Waiting... and Adventureland but think Ryan's is definitely a one-note actor. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 09:18 1
        
        sure, but that one note is awesomeness. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 09:36
  - I think that watching that movie is what it is like living in Seattle. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:48
  - I watched it once, thought it was ok, and never need to watch it again. - groiny Apr 6, 08:45 3
    - this -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:46 2
      - don't try to suck up to me now, you already made the list today, and it has only been an hour. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:47 1
        
        I had clicked to post, "I cannot imagine watching it a second time, let-alone frequently." -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:54
Be careful, citizens of ST. ML's cut a deal with the Weeping Angels. -- nm - David Apr 6, 08:40
Fresh board smell! -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:37 2
- *poot* -- nm - Daniel Radcliffe's Bloated Corpse Apr 6, 09:03 1
  - So glad I turned down that role. -- nm - Imogen Poots si Apr 6, 09:36
