oh it was made of a small jar and a square of saran wrap with a small hole in it, sealed with a rubber band. you put a piece of fruit in the jar and watch the flies go in. they can't find their way out. works like a charm!

there is nothing quite like painstakingly squeezing lemons and limes for 30 min to make lemonlimeade and then accidentally knocking the container over when you put the lid on, spilling 80% of your labors onto the countertop, which then has to be thoroughly cleaned. outrageous.

if you give someone a nice round potato chip they shouldn't carry it delicately over to their little bed and then take a nap on top of it until it's just ugly salty crumbs.

domestically outraged about my stolen wireless connection being stolen from me! i guessed a password of another but it seems to be not connected to ISP and i can't figure out the router's ip address :(((((i am bad for stealing internets but it's their fault they picked stupid passwords and/or gave the password to the girl who normally lives in this apartment

landlord late on trash bill; bags from all units piling up outside my back door for 2 1/2 weeks now. need to borrow boss's truck at lunch to pick them up and throw them away at work (not risking ruining new car's upholstery with weeks-old garbage bags).

can't you call the city on him or something? there has to be some kind of law that prohibits it from being left there that long!

another brownie outrage: gluten-free brownie mix makes a strange concoction that sticks to your pan and results in palm punctures when trying to use a knife to lever it out. oopsie.
― te,he (tehresa), Friday, 24 July 2009 01:08 (fourteen years ago) link

the same thing happens when you get fat-conscious and try to get by with half as much vegetable oil as the recipe calls for.
― unregistered, Friday, 24 July 2009 01:12 (fourteen years ago) link
er, minus the palm punctures, I mean. someone needs to buy you a tacky knife sharpener for your birthday imo, & you'll never have that problem again.
― unregistered, Friday, 24 July 2009 01:13 (fourteen years ago) link
the batter seemed totally greasy! i thought it was gonna be a gross greasy glob that would slide right out of the pan.
the knife was plenty sharp... it's just that i accidentally jammed it point first into my palm in a badly coordinated attempt to loosen crap from the bottom of the pan.
― te,he (tehresa), Friday, 24 July 2009 01:15 (fourteen years ago) link
i suppose that is why they make spatulas, but it just didn't seem appropriate.
― te,he (tehresa), Friday, 24 July 2009 01:17 (fourteen years ago) link
spatulas as cutting instruments are bogus and totally unfulfilling, especially when they're made of that teflon-friendly silicone crap. what fun are cooking tools when they're not visceral and potentially deadly?
on second though someone should buy you one of these:
