- i love both. totally depends what they are going with. -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 08:58
- least surprising IM ever. mashed taters, of course -- nm - poochinski Feb 16, 08:57 4
  - "Just listen to the word. *Risotto*. Just saying it out loud makes you better than other people." -- nm - znufrii si Feb 16, 08:58 3
    - hee -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:04
    - mmm...risotto... -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 08:59
    - heh -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 08:58
- mashed potatoes (I generally make risotto more as a main, I should make the plainer ones as a side more often) -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 08:57 4
  - isn't it supposed to be a main dish? -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 08:57 3
    - In Italy, it's offered served as a course between the salad and the meat - the serving is small by our standards (about a handful) and it's often - Roger More Feb 16, 09:05
    - not sure there are any risotto 'rules'. -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 08:59
    - can be, depends on what you put in it... -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 08:58

Love Letters Response to Destined to Drink Alone: - Diva Feb 16, 08:54 10
- this is the first time I think Meredith missed the boat on this girl, honestly. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 08:55 9
  - what did she miss? the girl is mistaking dude's not drinking for an inability or unwillingness to be sociable in general -- nm - poochinski Feb 16, 08:58 8
    - That when a 24 yr old is dating a 28 yr old, and refers to her drinking as "only twice a weekend"... - TFox Feb 16, 09:00 7
      - but, you are changing her letter to 'do i drink too much?", that's not the issue. - Andie Feb 16, 09:03 6
        
        it's not her complaint, but you can't ignore the letter she wrote, just because that isn't her question. - TFox Feb 16, 09:05 2
        
        sure, she's being petty, but petty is not the same as 'you drink too much.' - Andie Feb 16, 09:07 1
        
        good. not her usual "great". -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 09:08
        
        not hers, probably his -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 09:05
        
        She'll probably be writing that letter in a couple of years. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 09:04
        
        It is a point, though. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 09:04
honestly, I need to get out of this conversation. - tRuMaN Feb 16, 08:48 2
- Mashed potatoes are good eatin'. - Spawn Feb 16, 08:50
- sorry, man. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 08:48
most of the UFC 113 card in Monteal announced -- (link) - Beaker Feb 16, 08:42
Why can't he leave when he's ready and she get a taxi or a ride from a dd/gf later if she wants to stay out? - Diva Feb 16, 08:40 20
- she has to clarify for herself if his non-drinking is the problem, or the non-socializing. because that's determines whose issue this is. - Andie Feb 16, 08:51
- If you're seeing a movie with your partner, and one of you is really enjoying it while the other one detests it, the one who detests it doesn't - Roger More Feb 16, 08:48 6
  - I just don't see the big deal of leaving a bar when you're ready to leave a bar as long as both parties are agreed. - Diva Feb 16, 08:51 4
    - I think it's easier in theory than in practice - by leaving, he'd be basically saying "you're no fun any more" -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 08:54 2
      - not necessarily - when i leave earlier it's because I'm tired and i want to go home. But again, my sitch is probably different from the LW. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 08:57 1
        
        For sure - I was talking about his situation, where he's already made it clear he doesn't enjoy hanging out with her when she's drinking - Roger More Feb 16, 09:01
    - me either. especially if they live together. it's not like they won't end up in the same place. -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 08:52
  - Alcohol has it's own set of rules. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 08:51
- because he would still feel responsible for her safety. (to provide one hypothetical) -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 08:43 2
  - i doubt that sincerely, if he has no problem letting her go out on her own now. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 08:45 1
    - if he doesn't join her, he's not enabling her behaviour, therefore he doesn't need to feel responsible for her decisions. -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 08:47
- It's not rocket science; it's emotion surgery. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 08:40 8
  - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 08:44
  - i don't get it really. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 08:41 5
    - my take is, she wants him to *drink* with her, he does not want to. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 08:42 4
      - yes, that's been established. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 08:44 2
        
        maybe they are just incompatible. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 08:45 1
        
        she's going to get it eventually. she's 24. there ought to come a point for virtually everyone where clubs and beer pong are not every weekend thing -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 08:46
      - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 16, 08:43
  - Bery FTW. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 08:41
ok truman, i see that, but then they didn't really agree on ground rules then. and for something like an after-work drink... - TFox Feb 16, 08:40 7
- where does it say he doesnt go out with her to parties where she might have one drink? - tRuMaN Feb 16, 08:41 6
  - there are two spots, although obviously she may be spinning all of this: -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 08:44 3
    - whoops. "(they know not to call him in situations where alcohol comes into play)." - TFox Feb 16, 08:44 2
      - true, but all the drinking stuff she talks about isnt social parties, its drinking for stress relief - tRuMaN Feb 16, 08:46 1
        
        trust me, i'm with you on that, she sounds very "woo girl". - TFox Feb 16, 08:47
  - I have the same interpretation, but really there isn't enough info to be certain -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 08:42 1
    - obviously, cause the girl wants people to agree with her. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 16, 08:43
Best part of my weekend was making risotto, and having it be a smashing success. I never thought it would be easier than mashed potatoes ... - Beryllium Feb 16, 08:37 47
- just a tip - the smaller the pieces the faster they cook. -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 08:55 4
  - I'm suddenly wondering if he tried to boil one pound idahoes. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 08:59 3
    - Prince Edward Island, but ... yes. Russett potatoes. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:12 1
      - yeah, that'll take a long time to boil. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:14
    - I'ts Costco Cookin' w/Bery & Znu! -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 09:11
- how hard is it to make mashed potatoes? boil potatoes, drain, mash in bowl, add pepper, salt, sour cream, and a little butter -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 08:39
- how can you not make mashed potatoes? 1. Open Box 2. Boil Water. 3. Add Milk & Butter 4. Mix. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 08:39 26
  - this makes the baby Jesus cry. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 08:46
  - pretty sure you are talking about powdered-potatoes-mix not real mashed potatoes. - tRuMaN Feb 16, 08:43
  - He said "mashed potatoes", not wallpaper paste. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 08:42 19
    - Betty Cocker disagrees with you. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 08:46 18
      - "If I knew it was gonna be that kind of party, I'd of stick my dick in the mashed potatoes!" - Betty Cocker SI Feb 16, 08:51 1
        
        *golf clap* -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 08:52
      - That's a hell of a secret ingredient. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 08:50
      - If I weren't laughing so hard at your typo, I'd argue. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 08:49
      - betty crocker is obviously wrong on this. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 16, 08:47 13
        
        No, you are. - Spawn Feb 16, 08:49 12
        
        Remlik likes Outback Steakhouse. Case closed. -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 08:50 11
        
        for a mass market chain they do a good steak. I can think of 3 places here in town better than them. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 09:06 3
        
        they treat their steaks with sulfites to keep em pink. blech. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:08 2
        
        they still taste good. and still better than most other national chains. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 09:13 1
        
        it could be worse, I'll give you that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:16
        
        Exactly. We win. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 08:51 3
        
        Another victory for low standards -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 08:52 2
        
        low standards is eating at Long Horn or Texas Roadhouse. That's crap. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 09:07
        
        To each his own. - Spawn Feb 16, 08:53
        
        He eats pop tarts. he obviously has a fetish for wood pulp. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 08:51 2
        
        food of the gods! -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 09:08 1
        
        why not skip the hassle of toasting and just eat the box? -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:10
  - yeah, in no way should a box be involved -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 08:41 1
    - Word. -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 08:41
  - *shudders* -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 08:39 1
    - You are wrong. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 08:42
- my ST risotto-making soulmate! - znufrii Feb 16, 08:38
- I'd love to know what you're doing to those mashed potatoes. They're easy peasy. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 08:38 12
  - After I peeled them the first time, I stuck them in the water. whole. and then didn't boil them long enough. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 08:40 11
    - but then you made them again and they 'took long and required more effort' than risotto? What are you boiling? Rocks? -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 08:43 9
      - I wanted to be sure they would turn out. Did not like having to microwave them last time. So, I boiled them for 40-60 minutes. - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:11 2
        
        you know how you can tell if it's boiling? if it boils. - loosilu Feb 16, 09:13 1
        
        There are gradients in the boiling world. It's not all boiled and blanched, you know! ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:15
      - "Does water soak faster into a grit on your stove than anywhere else on the Earth? Were these magic grits?" - TFox Feb 16, 08:54 4
        
        Speaking of which, the supermarket we go to only has Quick muthaeffin Grits. I can't buy that! - Diva Feb 16, 09:00 3
        
        We get down on those Quaker instants sometimes. They aren't bad in a pinch. - TFox Feb 16, 09:01 2
        
        I can't do it T, i just...can't. - Diva Feb 16, 09:04
        
        That's definitely a food where if I have to have it out of a box, I'll go without. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:03
      - "Good Cookin with Deevs" coming this fall! -- nm - Crash Channel Feb 16, 08:52
    - that's pretty funny. heh, if you don't know, you don't know -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 08:41
