Re: What I Learned Today...
I dunno. How do you think your sister came about?
Not like he uses it for anything.

Do you really think he thought that through....It didn't have anything to do with you, unless you ARE as old as you look. (she's 32)

Hey, I am gifted.
I'm in a thread-starting rampage, I think...
ANYWAY....
So I learned something today, and of course, I'm going to share with one and all in USCHO land.
Well, I'm not much of a cook. However, as of late, I've started to get into it a little more. So there's this recipe that I'm going to try tomorrow. It calls for 6 cloves of garlic as one of the ingredients. I go to the store and get all the ingredients I need for this recipe, including the garlic.
Today, my roommate needed 2 cloves of garlic for her recipe. She asks if she can use my garlic... And I think, "Well ****... if I give her 2, I will only have 4 left..... That's not enough for my recipe, but it seems like there is more than enough there..."
Being the nice person I am, I cannot tell her no! "Sure........." She can tell that I look somewhat hesitant. She's like, "Dude... do you know what a CLOVE of garlic is?" Apparently I did not. Well now I do now. I thought BULBS were cloves. But they are not. However, they do contain about 10 cloves each. Let's just say that I have PLENTY of garlic and giving her 2 cloves is not really a big deal. But OMG... if not for her, I probably would've put like six BULBS of garlic in my recipe....! Eeek!
============================================
So let's use this thread to share silly things that we learn or have learned at a later point in life than we probably should have. Then we can go back and forth and make fun of one another. This thread will be a failure, but that's okay. Many of the things I do are failures.
But in my defense... come on... I never really have cooked! So how the hell was I supposed to know?!

Here is another thing I just learned! This is good stuff. Wish I knew this before I went and bought SIX farking bulbs of garlic. What will I do with all of that??! I think maybe I'll just leave it around random areas at work.
To be fair, there are probably like 3 Italians in the entire UP.
FAIL.
Dickinson County is lousy with them. See Mariucci, Steve and Izzo, Tom.
I was the PA announcer for my high school's basketball teams, and the one team I always dreaded coming to town was Iron Mountain, because they'd have a minimum of three unpronouncable Italian names per team.
MEg's cooking?Based the crappy food I eat all the time, I'm surprised I even know what garlic is.
Not so!!MEg's cooking?
Onions suck....never use onions...Not so!!
Another thing I learned today.... uh, cooking with raw onions is probably similar to being sprayed in the face with pepper spray. JFC! I couldn't open my eyes for a good five minutes!
Maybe this is one reason why I HATE onions.
Green onions are awesome.Onions suck....never use onions...
This idea, loads of WIN!!!!Go to a theater to see that new Twilight movie wearing all the garlic and freak everyone out.
I was told there would be no math!!!Let's see. 6 bulbs times 10 cloves per bulb is 60 cloves. You gave away 2 and used 6. So you have 52 cloves left to repel some vampires.
Not so!!

Onions are disgusting. I won't eat anything that has any trace of them. Ugh, gross...
Well, she's a fooper by association, but it's not because of her rightful distaste of onions...So I don't know what a fooper is, but I think this should qualify you as one.
Is that a fact now?Onions are disgusting. I won't eat anything that has any trace of them. Ugh, gross...
