Caramelized onions are a gateway to onion enjoyment.

Turns out Keanu had witnessed somebody walking their dog, and that person kept jerking on the leash and kicked the dog. After rescuing the dog, the offender was tied up in Keanu’s backseat. Kidney donation is 100% justifiable consequence of his actions.

How many Russians have you met and had a conversation with?

I average about 25 grams of fiber a day and am well hydrated. About 20 minutes after my morning coffee there’s a knock at the back door. When I answer, there’s a mass evacuation that results in no evidence. It’s quite refreshing!

I tend to wash my face separately from showering, and also avoid directly spraying water in my face because some lizard part of my nervous system thinks I’m waterboarding myself.

That said, there’s generally enough random drippage and mist during a shower to require I dry my face.

With Oneida Twin Star silverware. I’m 53 and still have a few pieces from my parents set floating around for the nostalgia lol.

Now?

Right now I hate that voice in my head that does the real voices.

I’m almost 54 and menopause has not yet been achieved, though my system is constantly teasing/taunting me with it.

I couldn’t agree more.

Throw a couple cups of milk in a pot, start to heat on medium/medium high (don’t let it boil.)

While that’s heating, take about half a cup of milk, and a couple fat tablespoons of flour and whisk it together in a separate bowl. It should be thick, but not real lumpy. If it comes out like mashed potatoes, add more milk.

Once the hot milk starts to bubble on the stove, slowly whisk in about half of your flour mixture. Let it come back to a slight bubble and see how thick it is. If you want it thicker, add more of the flour mixture. Once it bubbles for a minute or two, that’s almost the final consistency as it’s going to thicken a little as it stands. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc. to taste. Turn the heat off. Add a bunch of shredded cheese. If you heat it with the shredded cheese in it, you run the risk of the sauce breaking. Check it again for flavor, and if it thickens up too much as it cools, you can always add a little more milk.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make is heating up a sauce too much after it has the cheese in it. This can make the cheese break and get gross. I also have zero issue with using pre-shredded cheese this way either. And bonus tip, if you throw a slice of American cheese in there, it’ll have enough sodium citrate to help make it a very smooth cheese sauce.

Different cheeses depending on the end goal. If you dehydrate cheese it can be ground into a powder. I’ve seen cooks on various shows do this to recreate powders for popcorn seasoning, home made Doritos, Cheetos, or even for long term prepping/storage. Makes it easy to create sauces in a pinch as well.

OMG you just brought me back a decade to Vat19 and their “Not a Cat” pillow lol.

I used a bright white base coat with heavy application of a black wash, letting it pool to the edges of the robes. Then I went in with the Black 4.0 under the robes and inside the hood. Most visible on the back, I also used it for those branching “crack” like details. The base is also Black 4.0, but I took the picture under a REALLY bright light (and in the first image you can see the spots where I was too impatient to wait for the base to fully dry lol.) Under regular lighting the black is incredibly flat and the underside of the robes really does disappear.

The lanterns are painted silver with a black wash. For the glowing part of the lantern, I started with a bright white base, then layered the blue glow in the dark pigment, then a clear gloss over it.

I loved working on that piece, even though I often felt like screaming trying to get the right angles to paint one part and not fuck up something else lol.

It’s The Watcher from Kingdom Death Monster.

Unfortunately I haven’t used any image hosting sites in years, so I did this quick. I’m open to recommendations!

If the story is true, Anish Kapoor got his hands on some and dipped his finger in the pink, flipping off Stuart.

In response, Stuart released a glitter made of shards of glass. Lol

I bought some lol. It’s a truly pretty, perfect pink.

I’ve made an unspeakable number of purchases from Culture Hustle over the last couple years for a variety of pigments and specialty paints (like Black 4.0 and glow in the dark and UV reactive pigments.) I paint board game minis for fun lol.

Scrolling during an in person meeting. My God this one tested me 🤣.

But did you finish?

At least he was old. Did they really have to throw in Theo Huxtable?

You mean like during the COVID lockdown? It was amazing. I wish people learned more lessons from that time.
