The 12th Commandment Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) When I'm talking to my mom it's mom but when I refer to her to someone else it's my mom because they undoubtedly have a mom too. I'd never in a million years call her Claire. Edited November 25, 2022 by The 12th Commandment 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was working I always worked today, preferring to use the vacation day during summer. Being in sales it was almost like a holiday. I'd come in, do some paperwork, clean out my desk and then go on "appointments" which was actually a round of golf. But as the years went on I hated coming home after the big event knowing I had to get up and put on a tie the next day. So I started taking it off.

I'm here to hear about @PleaseBlitz's alcohol consumption, @TradeTheBeal!'s weekend exploits in Houston and whatever conscious level the brother @Chewis on. Take your paper or plastic debate elsewhere, is nothing sacred anymore? Nope, ruined a perfectly good pot of chili trying to do my part using Beyond Meat instead...

Beyond meat is much better as burgers and bratwurst/italian suasage. The impossible meat is much better as ground (e.g. in chili / tacos / pasta). I actually use the impossible meat sausage (the ground stuff) in my chili. Regular impossible meat in tacos and pasta. Cook it almost like ground beef but get a real nice caramelization on it before putting it in the chili. Don't burn it tho. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister has been a pescatsrian for well over a decade now and warned me about quality of these meat substitutes (she doesn't like impossible because of how much Soy it has in it).

The breakdown I've worked out so far is Beyond for burgers / brats / Italian sausage ... it just grills way better. Impossible for ground meat Quorn for chicken (some people have allergies to this stuff since its basically fermented mushroom...so be careful) ...sadly no substitute for steak or bacon. I was a dedicated carnivore for my whole life up to the point when I switched. Haven't had meat in many years now. Its been getting easier...five years ago the meat substitutes were god awful. Your sister is right, they are still not a substitute...but they are getting closer (or my memory is just fading). Try a taco meat one day with the impossible burger and however you usually season it. Don't go in to it expecting it to be identical...but it won't be horrible. The cooking will dry it out a bit, and the strong seasoning will bury most of the flavor change. When you build up the palette for the flavor, diversifying to subbing it in chili or pasta becomes easier...you know what to expect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to try the Beyond brats & Italian sausage. I've been using Morning Star Farms original sausage patties for breakfast. Costco used to carry them but I haven't seen them in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The veggie burgers by Morning Star Farms are pretty good, too. Easy peasy on the Foreman. I usually make 'em with mushrooms, Swiss, and onions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Daughter experienced spotting today, became seriously worried for her pregnancy 😐…her mom/my ex-wife went with them to the emergency room…after numerous blood tests and an ultrasound, the doctor told them everything was perfect and that both babies were just fine. My daughter: “Both?” Doc: “I thought you knew…” We didn’t know she’s having twins lol 😳😳 1 2 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pulled down his mask to show his face so she could tell he was being serious lol. It’s possible to detect twins as early as 5 weeks depending on what type it is, so he probably figured her ultrasound at 6 1/2 weeks also showed what he was clearly seeing at 8 1/2 weeks.

Congrats, Grandpa!! I'm well aware of what diapers for two at the same time cost (grandkids, never my own) . I would recommend getting a service, saves some planet space and gives people jobs. (You flush 'em sort of "clean" in the toilet, from what I can recall...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
