That sounds horrible and I want to try it
SugarFree [14:20pm]
That’s why I bought it. I have to know.
jesse.in.mb [15:31pm]
How is that knowledge on your tongue
SugarFree [15:46pm]
I haven’t tried it yet. I was going to cushion the blow by getting very high first.
jesse.in.mb [16:06pm]
won’t that create bad results? shouldn’t you have a box, get high and have another box?
SugarFree [16:21pm]
Who would east this any other time that really high? High risk, high reward. I figure it will be delicious or I will just drop dead.
jesse.in.mb [16:22pm]
schrodinger’s snack
Riven [17:50pm]
I would totally try that mac and cheese
SugarFree [19:09pm]
I will admit it is an alarming color, angry even. The smell is OK. Needs a sturdier pasta. Even cooking to al dente shredded some of it.
SugarFree [19:11pm]
Plated it looks worse. (I added ground beef to get some protein.) Edie smelled it, looked at me in cat-dismay, and stalked off.
SugarFree [19:12pm]
And it splashed going into the bowl. Not sure I’ve seen that before in a box mac and cheese. OK, going in.
Heroic Mulatto [19:14pm]
NO!
SugarFree [19:18pm]
Coated in “cheese” dust and the aggressively red dye, the noodles become, I guess I’ll call it rubbery. And no longer have the mouthfeel of normal kinds of pasta. Almost as if they were made from a non-wheat substance.
SugarFree [19:19pm]
Otherwise, yeah, Flaming Hot Cheeto flavor.
SugarFree [19:20pm]
It seems to take on a sourness as it cool. Disturbing.
SugarFree [19:21pm]
Yet when complete cool, seems to have no flavor whatsoever.
SugarFree [19:22pm]
SugarFree [19:22pm]
I did eat it all.
SugarFree [19:23pm]
Reserving half for a reheating review tomorrow. That’s all until it spends the night in the fridge.
SugarFree [19:24pm]
I’m worried that the bowl may not come clean, stained forever like my feeble soul.
Heroic Mulatto [19:24pm]
Why?
SugarFree [19:25pm]
Because I am curious about the unnatural in our natural world. I am a scientist.
Heroic Mulatto [19:26pm]
That was a cri du coeur of existential angst.
SugarFree [19:26pm]
I am but a recording angel.
Heroic Mulatto [19:29pm]
And Zoomer reactionaries are hysterically afraid of a future in which they must eat bugs.
Heroic Mulatto [20:39pm]
The empty bowl actually looks like you cleaned vomit out of it.
SugarFree [20:40 pm]
Or sneezed with a bloody nose.
Heroic Mulatto [20:41pm]
Or bloody poop
SugarFree [20:42pm]
Bright red blood poop is nowhere near as bad a black blood poop (also known as “occult blood.”)

There’s a bright blue ice cream called cookie monster and I ate two scoops of it and a few days later thought that my colon had a horrifying algal infection
SugarFree [21:10pm]
My stomach hurts.
jesse.in.mb [21:11pm]
probably for the best
jesse.in.mb [21:19pm]
imagine having done that to yourself and there NOT being consequences
SugarFree [21:21pm]
Yeah. I might begin to believe myself some variety of god.
jesse.in.mb [21:21pm]
SugarFree of the iron belly
SugarFree [21:36pm]
This is not good. There is a hollow place in me now.
SugarFree [21:57pm]
My tongue hurts. It hurt before I began this journey, but I can’t decide if it is the same level of hurt or even the same type of pain. I am pretty darn high. Juicy sort of high. Very nice. Very thirsty.
SugarFree [23:40pm]
My condition has stabilized. Going to try to go to bed.
jesse.in.mb [23:41pm]
Good luck
SugarFree [04:47am]
I live. I am bloated and have a headache. I’m going to consume a liter of water and attempt to sleep further.

Unsettled sleep. But nothing unusual. I don’t think I’m going to eat the leftovers.

I threw away the leftovers. And the Tupperware they were in. And that shelf of my fridge is quarantined.

Gah! Now I can never unsee it as just that!
Pussy.
Now THIS is why I come to this site.
And its “family friendly.”
Well done, SF. I don’t think I would have eaten that on a dare… and I’m that guy.
Meh. Would it really be worse then the instant Hamburger Helper or the like?
I just love the story behind the Flamin’ Hot flavor. Which has now been added to just about everything.
I felt lazy last weekend and made Hamburger Helper – a flavor that was new to me: “crunchy taco”. With rice and corn chips to sprinkle on top.
The gummy, chemically taste was more pronounced than in other flavors I used to like. I choked down a bowl but tossed the rest.
I remember loving HH when I was a kid, but I’m not sure I’d venture an attempt at it these days.
Yeah, that was a huge treat growing up. Better than the usual “make yourself a sandwich”. (I won’t touch bologna to this day.)
*covertly hides the 4 boxes of Hamburger Helper (aka Bachelor Chow) in his pantry*
One batch of chili + one batch of whatever noodle is in the house + a couple pounds of shredded sharp cheddar = half a dozen frozen meals for two people.
Twelve frozen meals? Yeah, that’s not gonna work – I’d get bored with it WAY too fast.
Uh, you make a batch of something different each week. Then you have a large rotation of different things available in the freezer.
Bachelor Chow?
Yeah, that’s a LOT more effort than I’m putting in to dinner!
Is it made from real bachelor’s?
You’re thinking of Soylent Green.
Even fucking Funyuns
I don’t think that’s what you’re supposed to do with them.
Use them as flavored cock rings?
You eat ass too?
Bro? C’mon.
I’m part French…and it’s the good part.
I swear to fucking god, if you serve this to us, even as a joke, I will have revenge. The sort of revenge that only a skilled chemist can concoct.
Did you turn off the lights to see if it glows in the dark?
The only way to make that meal worse would have been to add kale.

Are you going to update us on the results once it makes it’s way out of your digestive tract?

But has your taint been whithered?

I just feel the need to let you know my giant German Shepherd was sleeping next to me and farting up a toxic storm while I was reading that. It really took the experience to the next level.
I forgot his name. Gunther?
Yup!
Handsome boy. They are such great dogs. How old is he?
He’s 3. He looks scary and impressive because he’s a 130-pound German Shepherd, but he’s really just a big friendly doofus.
130 pounds? Jiminy. That is a monster German Shepherd.
That dog plus a large bag of dog food would weigh more than me. I feel insecure.
I was standing in line at Menard’s the other day and there was a giant display of Little Debbie “treats”. I thought this might be the most disgusting food product on the planet.
I was incorrect.

I got the betus just from that picture.

“May contain actual unicorns”
Which Menard’s? They were out of stock here but I have a demand card in for the next shipment…
Looking forward to Tundra’s Pot Luck presentation at Honey Harvest.
Your wife would kill me.
I would totally eat those. Buy a box “for my niece” and pig out with her when her mom isn’t looking.
I’d eat that.
Y’know, like, once.
Looks like Turbos Flamas.
One of my kids arrived home the other day with a can of Chef Boyardee ravioli that she got from the dollar store. I used to polish off can after can of that when I was her age. But I didn’t want to ruin my good memories so I didn’t even get near enough to smell it.
I would imagine a younger version of SF would have loved this mac n cheese.
My mom was addicted to spaghetti-os straight out of the can for a period of time. I tried a can decades later and almost vomited from it.
My kids loved that at a young age when they were more or less Latch Key kids..
#1 favorite latchkey kid food, unquestionably (at least in my years of childhood.)
And yes, heating them up was optional.
Those were the first hot meal I ever prepared for myself.
A regular staple from the age of 9 to 13?
I use to eat a lot of the good chef’s Beefaroni , somewhere along the way I started getting heartburn from any processed tomato sauce. So alas, no more Boiardi for me.
At first, I thought it was mac & cheese-flavored Cheetos. Didn’t Lay’s do mac & cheese-flavored chips a while back? Don’t know why the “mac” would be necessary – who needs macaroni-flavored potato chips?
Mac & cheese does NOT need to be hot. Other ingredients may enhance it – at Chez GT/TT, we usually add tuna, drained French-sliced green beans, tarragon, and garlic powder. The crucial requirement is that it be CHEESY!!!
Other ingredients may enhance it
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. To me, that’s all it needs. Don’t care for meat or veggies in mine, personally.
It was our “one pot meal.” Haven’t had it for a while since we started cutting down on carbs.
I tend to add more cheese to flavor my mac and cheese.
I’m tempted to go for “mac optional” M&C.
It won’t work. You need the structural framework or it’s just a puddle. It’ll throw the whole thing off.
I’ll accept the judgment of a mac & cheese master. Do you always use elbow mac, or do you ever use rotini or some other shape pasta?
I will use whatever pasta is available as long as it in the general size category. Rotini is good at holding cheese sauce and may be superior to elbows. I’m also fond of gemelli as a compromise between tradition and surface area.
+1 Rotini!
Beer cheese soup waves hello.
That’s a soup. It already admits to being a totally different style of dish.
Use cauliflower
How would you cook the cauli? Steamed?
Roasted first.
Like this: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/cauliflower-mac-and-cheese-recipe-low-carb-keto-gluten-free/
I add a handful of at least one kind of shredded cheese at the end. My kids think my mac n cheese is awesome.
My process is to cook some pasta, drain it. In a saucepan melt some butter, add four, stir and cook until a blonde roux has formed. Add whole milk. Start melting in shredded cheese in slow increments until there appears to be ‘enough’ sauce. Add sauced to pasta, stir it in. Add additional shredded cheese to sauced pasta. Pour into baking dish. top with more cheese. Bake until top cheese is browned.
The additional shredded cheese on the inside gives the strings and stretchiness when serving hot.
I used to make a roux but switched over to sodium citrate. Add everything at once and stir until melted in a few minutes.
Mac & cheese does NOT need to be hot.
It doesn’t, but I always add some El Yucateco green habanero sauce. Same with eggs.
That is the best lunchtime SF fare since The Hair admitted to snacking on Donald’s scalp flakes.
The use of the term “mouthfeel” has made me discard your test results.
Mouthfeel includes texture, but is not synonymous with it. It includes (at least) “body,” viscosity, hydrophilicity, specific heat and thermal conduction.
Now I respect it even less.
If you want to discuss all of those elements, talk about them, not some vague term that sounds stupid.
Up next: UCS complains that “hot” is too vague a descriptor, and instead we should talk separately about someone’s symmetry, muscle tone, skin condition, bodyfat percentage, hairstyle and manner of dress.
What about their temperature or scoville rating?
*looks around*
*wanders off confused*
Mouthfeel is gestalt — more than the sum of its pieces.

I first read about it in the Ben and Jerry’s cookbook.
The right thing to do with macaroni and cheese is (the baked, firm-ish casserole-style), is to:
– fry up a bunch of bacon, crisp
– crumble about half of it it in the mix
– then put the other half on top
– then bake as usual
You’re trying to break the cheese sauce, aren’t you?
No, I’m trying to make it awesome.
But (pedantry alert), it doesn’t really end up with a “sauce” in the way I would normally use that term (thick liquid). The bechamel ingedients end up essentially gelling with the macaroni to make a soft solid.
But nothing breaks, no.
I usually use bacon grease as the fat for my roux if I’m doing a bacon mac and cheese.
My lunch was just some bacon, egg and cheeseburgers on pretzel rolls.
It had a lot better flavor than whatever that was.
My lunch will be Atkins Chicken Broccoli Alfredo. Not my favorite – the sauce is often too watery.
Have you thought about thickening agents?
What would work AND be easily stored at the office?
Hrmm…
I don’t know.
File powder may work, but it does have a distinct flavor of its own.
With so few of us in the building, I have some leeway as to what I could tuck into a cupboard or fridge. Are you thinking of something dry like flour or cornstarch? Bear in mind – this to be stirred into the sauce on a frozen entree.
Pectin? 😉 Worked for Lucille Ball.
Cornstarch? Sodium citrate? Xanthan gum?
Shredded parmesan?
The parm might be a good addition on its own.
If you use the cheap stuff, the cellulose powder would soak up a lot of that liquid.

The military and police have to get Covid-19 vaccinations to keep us safe
It’s simple: If you carry a gun, you should get the shot.
——-
So for now, the government is forced to rely on ramping up education campaigns and easing access to the vaccine, as the White House announced Tuesday. Either the president or the attorney general needs to put the word out to police departments that the need to be vaccinated includes the boys and girls in blue, too, ideally in the form of departments mandating shots if officers want to remain on duty. And Biden needs to move forward on issuing a waiver to mandate vaccines for our members of the military.
I get that people are hesitant still. I understand there are risks being weighed when people choose to get vaccinated. But in the end, these are people whose entire job is about facing risks to protect others. If you carry a gun for work, you should absolutely get the shot.
Obviously, any cops or soldiers who decline to get the stab are doing so because they are white supremacists.
Clean house, Maximum Leader. Purge them.
I can follow the logic of the police being vaccinated, since they interact with the public on a daily basis, but what’s the logic behind the military? I guess fear that if people catch it they could be put out of commission for a while, weakening overall readiness and fighting strength. But if this all is the case, why the emphasis on carrying guns necessitating vaccination? I suspect ulterior motives.
The logic is that this way, all the state’s armed agents are forced to at least subconsciously regard the normal (non-vaxxed) people as “the other”.
I suspect ulterior motives.
The mind-control component of the vaccine base.
What kind of fucked up logic is this?
Does COVID send people into murderous rampages?
I’m beginning to think that this campaign of mandatory medical treatment might do so.
I can see the logic behind people who are in public service getting the shot. But getting the shot because you are a weapons handler? Do they think the same for ATM techs? CC permit holders? Fishermen?
I don’t think many of the Covidiots even recognize badgeless citizens carrying guns is a thing.
I don’t think many of the Covidiots even recognize badgeless citizens carrying guns is a thing.
They’re working on that.
Non sequitur.
Some years back (funny how many of my anecdotes start that way) I was chatting with a guy who was a City of Atlanta Housing Authority cop – he worked in the projects. He told me of most of the people he dealt with: “You handle these assholes, you want to wash your hands before you take a piss.”
I can see a cop wanting to get vaccinated to a fare-thee-well. Not for the protection of people he encounters, but for himself.
An early leader in the Non Sequitur of the Year category.
Neither cops nor military were vaccinated in 2020 and it didn’t cause problems. Why would it cause problems now?
No problems? The cops went on black people killing sprees all over the country!
In the middle of the pandemic. Coincidence? I think not!
I used to eat spaghetti-Os with protein powder mixed in, when I was in college.

Also, I tried the Cheetos Cheese Popcorn and it was fantastic. Like shot to the top of the fat fuck food hit charts. The Cheetos dust without the greasy fried curl has a deep fake cheese flavor and it’s not a salt bomb.
Details!
Is the red color in the pasta? You don’t make a sauce, just sprinkle it with powder? That’s hardly mac and cheese.
It’s just box mac n’ cheese. You mix the packet of flavor dust with melted butter and milk to create the sauce.
I thought we were all gourmets and shit here and would know this.
I haven’t bought any in so long, I have no idea if they’ve all switched to the Velveeta pre-made sauce pouches or what.
But I could totally see it shipping with red noodles, even with a red sauce to add.
Nope, totally normal noodles, probably the same for all three flavors (Regular, Flaming Hot, Jalapeno.)
I might try the Jalapeno.

They aren’t bad. It was overcast, so it was hard to compensate for the lights in the kitchen, which are three different types of bulbs because insane contractors built the place.
We have 4 different kinds of bulbs in our kitchen – floodlights in the ceiling, regular bulbs in the sconces, LED light bars under and on top of the cabinets, and halogen bulbs in the hood (nearly impossible to replace; I suspect Germans designed the hood).
I never thought it was odd.
halogen bulbs in the hood
I can highly recommend these LED replacements:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LMEQIMQ/
The biggest win was avoiding all the heat the halogens threw off.
And it looks like the newer versions are way cheaper, so win-win.
Huh. I would’ve thought that the extra heat from the cooktop would rapidly fry the LEDs (which are very thermally sensitive).
They’ve been in place for about 4 years, with no issues so far.
The hood isn’t all that close to the cooktop & it’s not like I’ve got a wok-burner or anything.

Federal judge overturns national eviction ban
A federal judge struck down on Wednesday the national eviction moratorium, potentially leaving millions of Americans at risk of losing their homes.
Housing advocates have said that the national ban is necessary to stave off an unprecedented displacement of Americans, which could worsen the coronavirus pandemic just as the country is turning a corner.
Property owners have criticized the policy and say landlords can’t afford to continue housing people for free.
So now I can serve myself with an eviction notice?
Stop being a slumlord to yourself!
Saw that come across my newsfeed as well. Showing the protestors claiming that “Eviction = DEATH”.
I truly wonder how many renters are gaming the system. 10%?
Why weren’t all these “housing advocates” calling for a moratorium on property taxes??
Because they don’t exist for “housing advocates.” Those people live in a fantasy world where every single landlord is filthy rich and can cover mortgage, insurance, and taxes during extended periods of no rent income. Or perhaps they assume that eviction moratoria also include moratoria on mortgages, foreclosure, and taxes.
Landlords are akin to Scrooge McDuck, swimming in their vaults of gold coins.
It is known.
And only rent rundown property at exorbitant prices to single mother with 6-7 kids and no welfare/child support
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has banned most evictions across the country since September.

There’s a reason many of us are overweight here in Cleveland. 🙂
Many complaints in there about oversalted or -herbed flavor. It’s a sauce, not a beverage.

Yeah, okay.

A farmer in Belgium inadvertently changed geography by moving his country’s border with France. The farmer was driving a tractor and apparently got annoyed by a large stone blocking his path, BBC News reports. So, he slightly moved it.
Another person recently walking in the forest noticed the stone had been moved. The history enthusiast knew it wasn’t just any stone — it was there to mark the boundary between the two countries.
The marker had moved about 7.5 feet, according BBC News, effectively giving Belgium more land.
Belgian authorities plan on simply contacting the farmer and asking him to return the stone – but if he doesn’t, the Belgian foreign ministry could open a Franco-Belgian border commission, something that hasn’t happened since 1930, according to BBC News. The farmer could also face criminal charges if he doesn’t comply.
Just leave it, some German dude is just going to come and knock it over again.
Odds are he will have a silly mustache, the last two did.
Really, that’s all it takes to invade France?
Alright guys, I’ve got a plan…

Man, that’s some shitty reporting – if you click through to the BBC (heh), it’s not a “stone”, it’s a “stone marker”:

Clearly not just some stone.
They’re worried about that when the country is overrun with Islamists that want sharia for everyone.
I guess he’s not a big fan of Proverbs 22:28 –

I seriously question whether moving a marker actually moves the border. Does the treaty actually say “the border is wherever the marker is”, or does it say “the border is where it is, and we’ll mark it with a big rock”?
If it’s from the 1930s, the survey boundaries could be described using geographic artifacts like trees and rocks.
The deed to my 30 acre property is from the 1940s. The property boundary is described with language like 30 feet to the large oak tree and then continues 300 feet along the creek bed until reaching a rock that looks like X, etc.
I’m not saying country borders are the same as my property, but that could have been survey language commonly used at the time. It was aggravating when trying to put a fence in and a neighbor contested the language in the deed.
I hate those survey conventions.
Those are temporary landmarks.
I ended up having to have a surveyor come out to ensure I was building the fence on my land. They located the corners by digging down several feet until finding specially marked buried stones.

That’s nuts. What happens when the oak tree dies?
Using watercourses as boundaries is definitely a thing. I believe the Red River between TX and OK is drifting south and moving land from TX to OK. (I could have that backwards.) Even a natural formation could be used to define a boundary. I recall looking at a property in WI (surveyed pre-Civil War) with a stone set at each corner, but I don’t know if the actual legal description was “turn north at the stone’, etc. Seems highly inadvisable to me. I’ve also looked at property surveyed in the 30s where the corners are marked with steel rods driven into the ground, with little plates welded on top.
But a mobile marker like that? I just can’t believe the national border is wherever that happens to be.
Sudden changes in a river’s course keep the old borders between the states unchanged. That is why there are small bits of Arizona on the west (California) side of the Colorado. See also along the Mississippi River borders. Slow changes of the river’s course shifts the borders. The SC waded into this murk back in the 1800’s.
Typical lawyer, ruining a heartwarming story with “facts” and “logic”.
I thought lawyers muddied the facts and logic with feelings.
Those are trial lawyers.
Greetings from a very rainy and chilly Upstate New York.
I will be hosting a Glib Humpday Zoom this evening, commencing at 8 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Glibtime, some other times for the rest of you.
(I’d appreciate it if someone would re-post this in the Afternoon Links. TIA)
It was sunny a few days ago.
And now we know why Heroic Mulatto and jessie.in.mb no longer comment here.
Wait…what? I guess I hadn’t seen them in a while, but I miss all the drama posts.
Flaming Hot Colons?
My wife makes damn good mac & cheese and thus won’t let me buy my personal favorite products:
Usually Velveeta Rotini & Cheese with brocolli dust.
Or just the Velveeta Shells & Cheese.
Its wrong for all the right reasons.
Gender Traitor
For your consideration: Cauliflower Gratin
A way to make a pasta free mac-n-cheese type dish. I’ve made this numerous times, using different sauces as well as different cheeses (Cotswold cheese works really well here), and love it. Of course, the sauce is rich… … …
Thank you! Will I speak with a cool French accent after I eat that? ???
No, at best it will be a cheesy french accent.
These jokes start to grate after a while.
Are they making you bleu?
I camembert when puns were this bad.
Where is Swiss? He’s leaving a hole here.
I think I saw The Flaming Hot Cheetos Mac n’ Cheese Experiment, with special guest Bela Fleck, when I was in college.
Interesting read on the contested Iowa Congressional election.
I’m reading that Trump started an organization to look into election integrity. It’s going to be interesting to see how “election integrity is crucial and it’s in everyone’s interest to make sure elections are fair” gets spun into “white supremacy”. But they’ll find a way.
They already did that with Georgia.
Easily done. “Integrity” is in tension with “access”. Apparently, white people have some kind of inherent advantage in doing things like getting to polling places, verifying their identity, marking a ballot all by themselves, etc. And if you don’t believe white people have inherent advantages, you’re a racist.
I guess they can just frame this as “perpetuating the stolen election myth”.
Nothing about going to the DMV to get an ID makes me feel superior. I actually feel like my IQ drops a quintile just stepping foot in there.
Thanks for that article.
DEREK CHAUVIN APPEAL FIGHT FOR NEW TRIAL WILL RAISE JUROR And His Photo at MLK Rally
Love the framing of the “BLM organized rally”, where Floyd’s family spoke, as an “MLK rally” that had nothing at all to do with police brutality.
I can’t imagine how anyone who admitted during voir dire they were a BLM supporter got on the jury. Yet here we are.
Some lawyer on Fox last night blamed the Defense for framing the question to the potential jurors in such a bad way that this juror was able to answer in a technically correct way to the question.
I’d have to see the exact question, but answering “no” to a question about whether you have ever attended a protest against police brutality, when you attended a BLM organized rally where Floyd’s family spoke, doesn’t sound even “technically correct” to me. Even if the rally was on the same day as MLK’s march on Washington. I can’t believe the rally wasn’t a protest against police brutality, given who organized it and spoke at it.
