One thing that doesn't suck is my coffee. Eight O'Clock in the percolator is so nutty and delicous.

Simplify. That's my Rx for life-suckery.


And yah, coffee is great too.

Somewhere in a box buried deep in the back of my garage, I have a an old empty Hires root beer bottle with an upside-down label. It contains a broken clarinet reed discarded by a girl named Andrea, on whom I had a crush on from 7th grade until moving away... ...sigh...

This disturbingly brings to my mind a particularly twisted Frank Zappa tune which I will not name.

Thank you for not naming that or posting a clip. There are things that once seen or heard ,cannot be unseen or unheard.

Agreed.

It's okay. I am intentionally making bad decisions in an effort to improve my situation. I figured that since making good decisions just kept digging me into a hole of despair, making bad decisions must do the opposite. Basic logic.

There's some serious trufe rat dere!!

I didn't know anyone still used percolators!

 

[Sixgunn]

Not to start on a negative note but am I the only one who just hearing certain people speak makes me want to punch a baby?

 

[shadowtippy]

Yes.

I found it in an old house that I was renovating, and it is now my favourite way to make my morning coffee. I also have a moka pot, but that is more of a weekend type of coffee.

So I was pondering salt and pepper because..... well, I just was and it occurred to me that it is very odd combination of condiments to be table staples. Salt, I totally get but why pepper? It's not like it's opposite of salt. Sugar would be more in line than pepper IMO because like salt, it fundamentally contributes to the flavor of food(s) whereas pepper is more of an accent/embellishment. I know sugar CAN be on the table for general use but it isn't normally. So why pepper? Why not oregano or basil or chili powder (ground habanero powder IS on my table, thank you very much ) ? On a side note, I love pepper so it's not a personal gripe. Just curious.

The salt is used more than the pepper in these parts, but pepper enhances savory foods whereas sugar only sweetens them. Most meals have savory components rather than sweet.

Tabasco sauce is on the table at my house, though cayenne pepper should not be conflated with black pepper.

I will NEVER under any circumstances, call ANYONE "honey" or worse, "hun".

What is it exactly that makes many smokers think that casually discarding a cigarette butt onto the ground is somehow different than littering?

...but pepper enhances savory foods.

Black Pepper, my wife loves it, I very, very, rarely use it.

I do use salsa pretty much every day though. :***:

Lol, you make it sound like being a Narcissist is a bad thing...
