Went to The Hollows in Teele for dinner tonight. Great atmosphere, immaculate decor, good service, good drinks and snacks, but the dinner was lacking. Potato crusted haddock was bland (OK, blander than it should be), and the pork tagliatelle was […]

I need some #pottery help. I have this #ceramic cup that I pretty much exclusively use for beer. It's allegedly dishwasher safe. I just poured some hot water in it for tea, and rather quickly it started to feel sticky on the outside. If you look at it […]

Hello from Nashoba Valley Ski Area where it will take me longer to compose and post this message than it will to finish this run. Great learn-to-ski area, though! #skitheeast #icecoast

There's a faction in Twilight Imperium that has an ability where they may spend trade goods to treat all Law cards as blank for a turn. Whoever put that faction into the TI4 Async Discord bot really nailed the wording here. It do be that way sometimes.

Framingham, MA really needs to apply for a Geographical Indication. There are millions of these things sold every year and the town gets zero revenue from it. It's robbery.

I know using Spotify is a moral failing but does anyone know how to get these podcasts out of my feed? I just want to listen to music, not 34 mid-wit takes on the latest Trump crisis.

Free idea if you, like me, have like 3 lbs of turkey that you can't eat in the next two days before it goes off: shred it, mix it with a sauce, and make a tray of enchiladas with it. The sauce I made was blended black beans and onions. Then filled […]

@briankrebs Pickle them! Make a brine that's 5-6% salt by weight (so like 50-60g per liter of water) and put it in a clean jar with the tomatoes, some garlic, a chili pepper, a bay leaf, and some oregano. Seal the jar with a clean towel and a rubber […]

I have an olive drab vest that I love to wear in the fall, but I realized that olive drab vests are really uncool all of a sudden. So now I'm adding patches. First two!
