Top Ten Cooking Hacks!

You're using a glass to slice a mango. You didn't break the DNA code and figure out something revolutionary.

i accept the fact that i am becoming the angry old man.

1. how to cut a mango - (i may have already grinded about this). A co-worker was trying to cut a mango and we were talking about how there must be some technique to cut a mango easy. so i youtubed "easy way to cut mango" and it brings up this video from "the produce guy". looks good. i start watching it and 56 seconds into the video he pulls out a fucking store bought mango slicer. something designed to only cut mangos.

who the hell buys a mango cutter.

why do you need to make a video of you using a "mango slicer"? if i had a mango slicer, i wouldnt be youtubing on an easy way to cut one in the first place.

its like some black comedy SNL skit. this mango video pisses me off.





2. starbucks. orig reason i came on here.

i order a venti dark roast for me and a tall dark roast for my office blgd cleaning guy. i watch the lady pour half the coffee from the "pike place" spout and not the dark roast.

she hands them to me.

me - "are these both dark roast?"

her - "yes."

me - "I saw you pouring it from the pike place."

her - "oh yeah, we are out of dark roast so i filled the half up w pike place. Do you want to wait while the dark roast brews?"

me - "why didnt you just tell me you were out of the dark roast in the first place?"

her - blank glazed stare ....

i just walk away telling her Ill be back ... after looking like an a hole to anyone who saw but didnt hear the convo.

The term "life hack" makes me cringe these days

[punch it in]

When you are in a hurry so you settle for "fast" food and the drive thru lady tells you to go park and they will bring it out to you.

First world problem - Boss driving from Florida to Maryland in a Tesla. I95 closed for 70 miles in SC due to massive flooding so he has to figure out how to get to the next charging station.

I gave up moving my schedule around the skins. they have sucked too long for me to chnage plans because of them. If I miss it I miss it.

My family > Redskins

Yeah, im not moving it. My lady would kill me. I was pretending to be a over zealous fan. im a fan of dry humor.

Does suck that I have to grovel and try to fanagle a way to be at a bar for the game. if not, no worries. ill just DVR it and try and go a week without hearing the score.

Here is how I look at it.

For some reason watching every game is some badge of honor for a fan.

Yet I can promise you have seen every game from say 1985 to 2007 (birth year of my son).

Did the Skins every send me anything for the streak of game viewing? Nope. Has giving up religiously spending every Sunday watching the Skins in return for more quality time with my kids giving me anything? Fawk yes!

Just about priorities. Sure if it is a slow Sunday and it is crappy out I will watch but I am not rescheduling shit and changing plans for the Skins.

Now that we have a somewhat nice townhouse in a somewhat nice neighborhood, we have a party every sunday. we made muffalettas, crawfish dirty rice, seafood pouches on grill, etc for new orleans game. homemade cheese steaks for eagles game - wiz wit! this sunday we are doing pulled pork w slaw and carolina style bbq sauce.

my daughter loves it bc we have friends and kids over. i get to talk to my daughter about football. we do this thing where we point to each opposing player on the TV screen and say "i hate you", "i hate you", 'i hate you" etc ... very norman rockwell moment.
