Fruitcake, deviled eggs, and potato salad are the trifecta of foods that are always at a family get-together, but no one ever eats. -- nm - Inigo Oct 23, 12:28 3
- I utterly despise fruitcake. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:36
- That's not true, at least not for deviled eggs. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 12:30 1

I thought I'd make some word art for a joke, but I can't think of the term for this kind of text arrangement - and I can't find the right font. -- (pic) - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:24 [Attachment]
Megyn Kelly Apologizes to Colleagues for Blackface Comments -- (link) - Remlik Oct 23, 12:22 7
- It's empathy fatigue - Reagen Oct 23, 12:31
- And NBC execs are coming to the realization that there was a reason she was on Fox. -- nm - pmb Oct 23, 12:29
- I'd love to hear her explain *why* blackface is wrong. She doesn't understand. She's just been forced to apologize. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 12:25 1
  - lol yep. Publicly apologize today or you're done. -- nm - Jovian Oct 23, 12:41
- Who would have expected that comment from "Santa Claus is white" girl? -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 12:25
- Must be weird and new for her to apologize to coworkers for saying something racist -- nm - Guigue Oct 23, 12:24
- ...while wearing blackface? -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 12:22
LYC: I won in the battle of crowd estimates for last night's rally here in Space City. Estimates are looking like about 16,000 inside and 15,000 out. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 12:18 15
- but, but, but the liar-in-chief said there were 50,000 people outside?!?! -- nm - decline Oct 23, 12:27
- I thought the venue held more than 16K? -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 12:26 4
  - It holds 18,500 according to Google. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 12:34 2
    - I wonder if it was security concerns or mismanagement that left some folks outside. -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 12:36 1
      - Well since many of his supporters live outside of Houston, they likely are larger in size and take up more room. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 12:39
  - "about" -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:26
- What did you win? -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:23 8

I'm going to run some errands, buy some more tickets, first batch posted to slacker fb group 37 sent in, bacon, dell ross? posted photos..meg? budice? -- (edited) - zeitgeist Oct 23, 12:16 3

  - If any other late comers still want in -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 12:41 1
    - Just post here that your are sending and I'll go ahead and buy them -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 12:43
SITWAP: Steve Carell joins Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon in Apple series about a TV morning show -- nm - MDH Oct 23, 12:15
The time is... - Spawn Oct 23, 12:12 1
- potato'clock -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:21
Now maybe we should talk about how to make Mac 'n Cheese. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:08 16
- Sub-Poll — Baked or sauced and served? -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Oct 23, 12:33 2
  - Yes. -- nm - Jeremy Bearimy Oct 23, 12:36 1
    - this -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 12:42
- Good god I miss having it not come out of a box. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Oct 23, 12:26
- to make it healthier use some ground up cauliflower (you won't even know it is in there; swear to God) -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 12:25 1
  - (needs peas) -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 12:28
- If it's KD, no milk no butter just the noodles and powder -- nm - J Oct 23, 12:19
- if you use a box mix, add more cheese -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 12:11
- Boil noodles. Add 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter. Kraft cheese packet. Stir and enjoy. -- nm - The Tuesday Night Delight, Slamtonian Oct 23, 12:11 3
  - if you want to change it up; use cream of chicken soup and a little milk. It is like a little KD Casserole. Throw a cut up boiled hot dog in too -- (edited) - Beaker Oct 23, 12:14
  - I suppose what I said could be interpreted this way, but it's not what I mean. I mean real mac n cheese. - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:13 1
    - It don't get real-er than Kraft. Remember that shit! -- nm - The Tuesday Night Delight, Slamtonian Oct 23, 12:15
- omg -- nm - MDH Oct 23, 12:09
- YOMANK -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 12:09 2
  - I get the feeling that the people who thought I meant KD did not know what I was referring to at all. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:20 1
    - yonh. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 12:21
WYPIPOLL: Do you like deviled eggs? -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 12:06 59
- Nope. I give them another shot about once a year and I'm always disappointed. - Ender Oct 23, 12:44
- No. The smell of them has made me throw up before. -- nm - Jeremy Bearimy Oct 23, 12:33
- yes -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 12:33
- It's like cheese cubes; I like one, then I'm done. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 12:30
- Nope. - Super Daddy Princess Oct 23, 12:25
- yuck -- nm - oblique Oct 23, 12:25
- They're awful except for Lobster deviled eggs from Pappas in Houston. Those were yummy. -- nm - Inigo Oct 23, 12:22 1
  - this brings up a point, there is the common vernacular devilled egg, but really there is a million ways to proceed - crash davis Oct 23, 12:24
- Yes, made with mustard and curry powder. -- nm - Meg Oct 23, 12:20
- of course, and now re:B2 - crash davis Oct 23, 12:16 12
  - it's a lot more of a common folkways generational thing than trial by fire in a professional kitchen. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 12:19 11
    - interesting, so what dish you recommend an outsider invited to a potluck bring for the first time -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 12:21 10
      - Trick question - only white people have potlucks. -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 12:32 2
        
        this. And when in doubt just bring booze. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 12:36
        
        I'd guess that it is done by churches across the board. But even under the conditions you lay down, the question still stands -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 12:35
      - Cookies. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 12:31
      - meatballs. -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 12:23
      - Not a lie: pizza. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:22 3
        
        Also, dessert doesn't hurt. Sometimes I bring nanaimo bars. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:23 2
        
        "Square diabetes" -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:29 1
        
        Yes, exactly. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:35
      - Buffalo Chicken Dip. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 12:22
- yes when done right. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 12:13
- love 'em -- nm - decline Oct 23, 12:11
- They are fine. I don't go out of my way to actively eat them though. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 12:11 1
  - this...but avoid them at weddings, pot lucks because usually they are sitting out for a few hours -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 12:11
- No -- nm - JD Oct 23, 12:09
- yes -- nm - budice Oct 23, 12:09
- As long as I can dip them in extra mayo -- nm - Guigue Oct 23, 12:09 4
  - I have not tried this. It seems ludicrous but entertaining. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:11 3
    - I was mostly trying to gross out the mayo haters :P -- nm - Guigue Oct 23, 12:14 2
      - Mission accomplished, I presume. I think miracle whip would work better for dipping, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:16 1
        
        Miracle Whip is just better for EVERYTHING - Guigue Oct 23, 12:25
- no. -- nm - MDH Oct 23, 12:08
- ... no idea what those are. - Spawn Oct 23, 12:08 16
  - Think of the worst way to prepare an egg. Got it? - The Tuesday Night Delight, Slamtonian Oct 23, 12:11
  - A hard boiled egg sliced in half, with the yolk extracted and mixed up with spices and stuff and then delicately placed back into the egg white half - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:09 14
    - ... and one would eat that instead of scrambled... why? -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:11 13
      - They are like finger food for parties. Not breakfast food (also cold, not hot.) -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 12:13 6
        
        there is a restaurant I go to that has them on the appetizer menu - decline Oct 23, 12:15
        
        *throws up in mouth a little* -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:14 4
        
        It's like a bruschetta where the egg white is the bread/cracker and the mixed yolk is the topping. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:15 1
        
        You shouldn't be allowed to food. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:35
        
        like a seasoned hard boiled egg, basically. - Andie Oct 23, 12:15 1
        
        I do also eat hard boiled eggs. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:15
      - It's not a breakfast food. Think 1960s cocktail culture appetizer. -- nm - MDH Oct 23, 12:13
      - Scrambled eggs don't translate well to potlucks. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 12:12 3
        
        ... and I would participate in a potluck... why? -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:13 2
        
        Because you suck at Gambit. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 12:18 1
        
        Oh, no I do not. - Spawn Oct 23, 12:22
      - because they are delicious -- nm - decline Oct 23, 12:12
- Sure. I'll nosh on one at that same family wake. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 12:08
- it depends on the recipe. if sweet and not dill pickles are used I avoid it. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 12:07
- nope -- nm - The Tuesday Night Delight, Slamtonian Oct 23, 12:07
- No. - Andie Oct 23, 12:07 2
  - Yup. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:08
  - this -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 12:07
- Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:06
- gross. no. -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 12:06
I'm sort of shocked by how few people knew about potato salad. Is this a diversity in friends thing? IDK. -- nm - MDH Oct 23, 12:05 15
- I only knew it was a thing from the SNL bit. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Oct 23, 12:27
- [deleted]
- i am going to guess it's not the same level of a thing in Canada. -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 12:08 8
  - But really, when we're talking about Bad "White People Food", 95 times out of 100 we are talking about something British - Reagen Oct 23, 12:15 7
    - that I do believe has African roots -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 12:19
    - they had the same access to the ocean as did, say, the Swedes, and didn't resort to such crimes as lutefisk! -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:17 4
      - really though lutefisk is the jaywalking of Swedish food crimes -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 12:27 3
        
        Surstromming even sounds like a form of very bad jaywalking. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:35
        
        If this is going to turn into a Swedish meatball bash fest, I will have none of it, sir - Reagen Oct 23, 12:30 1
        
        I like Swedish meatballs. I was thinking of their various iterations of fermenting things -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 12:39
    - re, the IM: and they stole that from the ocean! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:16
- I think this cuts both ways, truly. - Reagen Oct 23, 12:08 2
  - I could see that getting rough. I've had some that were very good and some that could have been considered war crimes. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 12:10 1
    - There's also an economic level to it - there's no *poor* white people putting kale in their potato salad. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:39
- I hope they're all afraid of getting strung up from lamp posts. Because if they keep this up, that's where this is going. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 12:08
The White House released a report today "The Opportunity Costs of Socialism," proving they are just straight up insane. -- (link) - MDH Oct 23, 12:05
[deleted]
another ancient shipwreck has been found in the Black sea -- (link) - peglegpete Oct 23, 12:03 1
- **looks down the bar...sees several ancient wrecks...order's another shot -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 12:05
Here comes the... - David Oct 23, 12:02 4
- rain again -- nm - Max Oct 23, 12:14
- bride? -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 12:08
- Hotstepper? -- nm - The Tuesday Night Delight, Slamtonian Oct 23, 12:08 1
  - Murderer -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 12:27
