It might be a sign of my own turkey poisoning, but that sounds kinda good. Especially if you toasted the bread…

That’s the usual reasoning over on Tumblr. Murican implies a certain mindset on top of location, but also has its uses.

Nothing but the fact that they usually love adding the “And the parents gifted the purchase price of our starter McMansion which allowed us to rent out the duplex we inherited from Grandma!” like that’s a strategy you can deliberately and consciously adopt.

Makes a change from “be born to extremely wealthy parents, have then pay all your expenses for most of your young adulthood, inherit your housing and several rental properties for passive income”, which seems to be the usual formula.

I feel like it took me way too long to discover that the superior way to remove an avocado pit is to just, you know, place both thumbs behind it with your fingers on the sliced side, and gently push it out. If your avocado isn’t ripe enough to do that, you likely had to have a chainsaw to slice it.

I loved the similar one between cheese consumption and sheet-related deaths.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is the movie that originally prompted myself and a fellow Kentuckian to posit that George Clooney is somehow a man scientifically designed to be pomaded and cast in period films.

This line is in my regular rotation alongside “Even if it did put you square with the Lord, the state of Mississippi's a little more hardnosed.”

Is scalloped corn sometimes called/maybe a variation on corn pudding? If not, I am indeed intrigued and that’s a new dish on me.

Our local holiday food cryptid is dressed bananas/banana croquettes. Seems to be like a single tri-county area of Kentucky where people recognize that recipe. Ours have the cooked “dressing”, but some families just slather them in salad dressing and roll them in crackers or peanuts.

That is what always tickles me about The Recipe. Miss Ma’am Community Cookbook Contributor Also From Kentucky, whatchoo talking about getting a pint of oysters from your fishmonger? I know she had to use canned oysters, too. We weren’t getting fresh oysters at the inland Save-A-Lot in the 80s!

My favorite slightly silly rewording of that passage is “… and Jesus said, ‘that sounds like a YOU problem, there, buddy!’”

I also liked using some tinned smoked oysters as a variation, but my mother Was Not A Fan. Apparently. Judging from her telling me not to use smoked oysters again.

I make homemade gravy but do generally fortify it with a brown gravy packet. One year I came shockingly close to dumping an envelope of chili seasoning into it instead. (They were the exact same color and stored in the same spot.) We still laugh about nearly having Southwest gravy.

But it’s always tasty anyway and it reminds me fondly of my grandmother, who had a tendency to tell you after you said, “I followed your recipe but it was totally different!” something like, “Oh. Yeah. I don’t do it that way.”
November 25, 2025 at 12:13 AM
The original calls for totally different quantities and ingredients. Yet she will put the recipe in front of me and insist I follow it, but the way she always does. (I.e. not at all) I will inevitably minority eff up the way she normally layers or pour too much milk or forget to pepper one layer.

I sort of sow a tiny bit of preventative holiday food drama about dressed/scallloped oysters every year. (Canned oysters, evaporated milk, butter, pepper, saltines. It’s surprisingly good.) My mom has a recipe. In no way does she follow said recipe, except there are oysters.

I do like that I can block ‘em and never have to think about them or see them again. The Bad Place made it feel like you were playing the latter levels of a tower defense game.

“Challenging” would imply he had some sort of counter argument beyond “nuh uh the worm that ate my brain told me it’s not true” -signed a guy who said under oath that no one should take his medical advice about vaccines.

I don’t even have children and if y’all just make it into public with one or more children in tow, know that I have deemed you God’s strongest soldiers even if your kid is wearing pajamas, a tutu, and an orange safety cone as a hat.
