Forgot to buy the seal-able container to put my new vinegar and oil set into -- they don't have caps.

Discovered that there's a really good version of R-Type for my phone.
Also discovered that my reflexes are way slower than they used to be.

:(

Would a wok be more convenient? You could push the food into the hot oil and it would sort of be like frying it.

Having to look up infused oils recipes in the future.

We received a gift pack of 4 of them and have never cooked with them before.

Just a matter of how much I would think.

My supervisor got fired today. Been working with her for 2 and a half years. She's the best I've ever had. Always the "do'er" with extensive knowledge that knows what she's doing and keeps the place on track. Without her it almost feels like the place itself may be on borrowed time as it's been really struggling the past few years. She was an ally in my court and with her gone things feel a bit more anxious around here. :(

I am running out of reward checking accounts to apply to. Reward checking accounts are accounts that pay decent interest rates (3-4 percent per year) but they limit the amounts between $10K to $30K per account.

What to do with all the money that I have been saving up?
What are the requirements to get those rates? The ones I've seen require a high number of debit card transactions every month.

Got a round-bottom, carbon steel wok already. I want the heat retention and flat base of cast iron, as well as the smaller size -- I have a craptastic coil electric stove.

I went full intellectually disabled and kept trying to twist off a funnel attachment in the wrong direction. Then I found out that the stainless steel rusted between the attachment and funnel rusted. I can buy a new one for $5, but it looks like I can vinegar the shit off.

Details?
Gossip?
Juicy story?
Steal any office supplies?

Just found out my sugar and oil/vinegar dispensers are likely stainless steel covered with lacquer. Why use stainless steel if you're going to lacquer it?

I wouldn't cook with them. I'd use them for dressing food.

Just tried some oat milk and it's pretty good. It has the consistency of skim but with a slight nutty/vanilla flavor. I don't generally like almond or soy milk but this was surprisingly good. The only problem is that I don't think any of the local stores carry it. It might be at some health food stores but I don't think I've ever even seen it there.

That's not a problem at all... I don't even see where you "had" to do something, not one complaint.

11 to 15 debits each month (depends on the bank/CU), 1 ACH transaction per month, paperless only account, and some require you to log in each month.

But you get 3-4% return with FDIC guaranty.

I've got a ridiculous amount of leftovers from my New Year's Eve party... like, twice as many people as expected ended up showing up and we still had way too much food.

no clue wtf to do with these giant open bags of chips, half a platter of cookies, and two shrimp cocktail plates that we forgot to even take out of the fridge.

Wanted to get the new blue-colored Berry-Lime Slurpee, but all they had was the regular blue Raspberry flavor.
