You should just to post LAST!

...

Oh right...


Well maybe you should anyway. Burn all the things, it'll be fun.

This feels like a "why not both?" moment.

Also, 3-day weekends don't feel like 3-day weekends when kids are grumpy. Work is so much more restful.

Yeah the little one can scream for hours it seems, and th...

wait... what?

Wedding-related tasks? Who wedding? YOU wedding?!! Are congratulations in order here? How the **** long have I been gone...

SPIL BEAN NAO!

I got engaged this fall, getting married in spring! yay! Soon(tm) I'll have little ones to terrorize me. Not too soon though.

I was informed that my dresser is terrible. I'm still not entirely sure why.

Very awesome, congrats and stuff to you and the future Mrs. Xsarus.



Well on the plus side garage sales are a fun way to meet the neighbors at least. Maybe you can trade up for a wardrobe closet thingy?

YAY DOUBLE POST!

Jeez. "Congratulations on getting married! Congratulations on having another child! Congratulations on ... learning to make toast!"

I've knocked a roll of paper onto an oven while making pasta swatting at a fly and watched it ignite, so not too far from that.

I've cooked many things, it's been good. I've been making pasta lately and tried my hand at making Ramen noodles, which actually turned out really nice.

Noodles sound like they'd be fun to make. Also spouses that love to bake are awesome; so many delicious ways that can go well.

We recently got gifted one of these thingies, with a ton of accessories so we're learning how to use it. The wife has done a couple of things, and I've made it as far as shredding cabbage to make Sauerkraut. I may not be the best cook in the world, but I can certainly throw something in a container to rot for 4-5 weeks. First batch was okay, a bit salty, but still good. It all got eaten. Second batch is due out in about 2 weeks, so we'll see how it goes. Going for more time fermenting, and a little less salt.

My wife and I are kind of the opposite, although I don't mind cooking I love baking. The way I see it, you can be a bit more creative when cooking. Although you can also be creative when baking, only in a "big picture" kind of way - if you don't measure exactly and follow time and temp exactly, your peach/apple pie is going to taste bad. My wife's recipes are all in her head: "you grab a handful of this, throw in a scoop of this, add some of this, and put it in the oven until looks cooked." (I'm only exaggerating a little).

I want one of those thingies, but I have no counter space for it. And Xsarus, doesn't Kitchen Aid make a pasta attachment for those?

Yes they do. I've considered getting it, but I have a hand pasta maker that's really so easy to use and works really well that I haven't bothered. I did get the meat grinder attachment, which I'm planning on using to make burgers using the Heston Blumenthal technique.
