Where’s your crown, King nothing?

About 7 for myself although I’ve actually eaten 15 and not had the same experience. Depends on the strength which is hit or miss

Honestly? Ate enough mushrooms to annihilate my ego and realized my self worth. I don’t recommend that technique but it worked for me.

We all are. And they knew it.

He can’t read, so that makes sense.

“reloading”

Pretty sure the Mayans were dead ass on their 2012 thing.

It’s like when your friend first showed you 2 girls 1 cup back in the day. Like goddamn why are you even looking at that?! The fuck is wrong with you? I’m out.

That’s fair then. I’m just blown away at that price tag though.

That’s what I suspected. Definitely put them back in the pot after draining over low heat for like ten minutes. That will remove the moisture. The butter and milk are the only moisture you want really. I also melt the butter and whisk it into the milk then add them together slowly as I mash. That way you can get the consistency where you want. You can’t be certain how much water is still in them so sometimes it takes a bit less than you planned but this way the ratio of butter to milk is consistent no matter how much or little you needed.

Measure everything. I use a fancy cooking scale I got for Christmas and I weigh the potatoes after peeling and then adjust my usual amount of ingredients to the weight of the potatoes. Plus you might be over or under boiling the potatoes. You don’t want them mushy but also not too hard. I usually test it with a fork. If I can stab the chunk in the water with a fork and pick it up it isn’t finished, but if I stab it and almost falls apart then it is good. I also soak them in water for hours before cooking to remove some of the starch, might help, might not but I do it. I also cut them in to consistently sized chunks before boiling so each potato is of similar consistency. Also gotta use the right type of potato. Golden will get mushy easily but russet is more forgiving.

Also, this is important. After you drain the potatoes put them back in the pot and cook over low heat to remove the excess moisture. That’s prolly why they’re gooey. If you immediately start mixing them after draining they’ll have too much water.

They don’t do any of that lol they just open the box and cook it. Glad I live 1700 miles away from mess this year

Sounds better than the flavorless mushy bread crumb mess my family serves

I feel bad for the lens.

Whoa $100?! That’s criminal. There’s no turkey in the world worth a bill. Then again I don’t like turkey, but still. Shits like .80¢/lb.

I guess if everyone chips in on it it’s fine but it can’t possibly be that good. Popeyes is sub-par at chicken, which is like their whole thing.

It takes work but try to stop giving a fuck what anyone thinks of you. Once I did that my life got so much better. Not to be confused with not caring about others just don’t worry what they think of you. That’s their cross to carry.

Popeyes makes turkeys??

Making good mashed potatoes is an art form honestly. I’m really good at it too. I go as far as weighing each potato just so I can have the perfect ratio of ingredients. I think most people’s potatoes are hit or miss because they just add shit until it looks right but if you have a method they can be consistently awesome.

Stuffing has no flavor when my family makes it. Plus the texture makes me gag but texture is like 90% of my hangups with food. I’m a picky eater but I really don’t want to be.

I used to live in England back in 1999-2004 on and off during the summer with my mom. Even then we were a fucking joke. I learned very quickly to lose my Texas accent and just tell people I was Canadian. I literally almost got my ass kicked several times after 9/11 when my fellow Brits found out I was from America. I wasn’t even old enough to vote at the time. I haven’t been back since 2009 but I suspect nowadays they’d just feel sorry for me. I live in California now which is rife with it’s own problems but at least my family and I feel somewhat safer here than in Oklahoma or Texas where we lived most our lives. I couldn’t raise my daughter in Oklahoma and feel that in doing what’s best for her. Plus California is fucking beautiful and there’s so much to do and see! Cost of living is the only downside here for me.
