I don't eat eggs (well, egg whites for me, as I hate yolks) all that often, since my first meal of the day is early afternoon so I usually go for leftovers or a lunch food (salad, soup, or wrap), but when I do make an egg white scramble or fried egg whites, I always have them with bacon or some sort of sausage, so I just use some of the fat from that. I even keep a little thing of bacon fat in the refrigerator for when I'm using a chicken sausage that doesn't give me any/enough fat to use to fry an egg. I don't dislike eggs made with butter or oil, but, especially for just a plain ol' friend egg white, I want it with sausage fat instead.
Fried egg whites are the only thing to which I add salt at the table. I may use salt while cooking things (but season more with pepper, other spices, and fresh herbs), but to sit down and sprinkle salt on top of what I've made, that only happens with fried eggs. Oh, and popcorn, as mentioned upthread, unless I happen to have some salted butter to use instead of my usual unsalted.
So, thanks to this discussion, I just had bacon and fried egg whites for lunch.
I eat a late breakfast as well. I will have leftover pizza, spaghetti, tacos, what ever. I don't see where it's written that we have to have eggs, cereal or any of the other "breakfast" foods. I love pancakes for dinner.

Anela, how are you doing? Has the weather become bad yet? I'm lighting candles for your safety.

I never change the salt in any recipe when I’m baking. It’s not about taste…it’s science! I know I should cut back on the processed foods. The salt is ridiculous!
I used to use Lawry's spaghetti sauce mix, my mom used it all my life, as did my husband's dad. Then I read the ingredients. Yikes! I found a great recipe online for a simple spaghetti sauce and never looked back. It has no salt or sugar in it at all. I had to tell my husband when he was on his second serving of lasagna that it was scratch sauce., not the Lawry's. He said it was great.

Great. I don't use a lot of sall as well. I fry eggs without adding it. Add a little when cook smth. I prefer undersalted meals, and I buy burgers cause mea is too salty for me.
I never salt eggs. Unless we buy unsalted butter, there is plenty of salt in regular butter. I use a lot of herbs and yes, cheese. I get plenty of salt without adding any. One exception - popcorn. How are you gonna eat popcorn without salt? Fortunately, I don't eat it very often.

Season 4 is on Charge this week
Gone is an interesting episode, it’s complex but a good plot about the former chess grandmaster who had become paranoid and was trying to get money from his family - it was just coincidence that the woman had the travel brochure from the hotel he stayed at and that’s why he killed her, they had no connection and he had just descended into complete paranoia. Interesting plot and I liked how Goren/Eames got to the bottom of it and I liked their final confrontation with the killer.
Collective was next and I love the scene where Goren plays with the toy weapon in the toy shop, that was absolutely hilarious, one of my favorite Goren moments. The rest of the episode is strange, about the vampire club, the story about the con artist woman who caused the original killing by the cops was interesting, but then it became about her murder and the weird vampire obsessed people and it just didn’t click for me.
Tonight 4 good episodes will air on Charge - starts with Death Roe with monstrous chef Tommy - that’s a classic, and then Ex Stasis, Shibboleth and The Good Child - all strong episodes. Season 4 may be the best CI season.
Season 4 is a great season but I think it's also the darkest. I won't ever watch Magnificat again.

I'm not quite sure what kind of peeve this would fall under, but it's driving me absolutely nuts. Over the weekend, I was scrolling through Netflix and saw Beverly Hills Cop (March 31 was the last day to watch before it was dropped); still hilarious as ever. So I thought I'd watch the sequel, which is on Paramount+.
Here comes the peeve: for some technical glitchy reason, there is audio commentary that describes each scene and what the characters are doing before we hear them speak. For example, when the movie launches with the rocky mountains and stars? Automated voice is telling the audience this is the Paramount logo and stars.
After texting with them, I was informed it is an ongoing issue and they are "soooo sorry for the inconvenience" and that I will get an email once it's resolved.
Yeesh.
I was tempted to say I would like a credit to my account charges until this issue is resolved since I am unable to watch and enjoy whatever movies/shows I wanted to watch.
We had that issue too. Not only did some channels have the weird ass descriptions but some channels were only in Spanish. They had to come out and fix it and the guy gave us this whole hard sell on all these upgrades that he said we simply could not live without. PPV being his pet hobby.

Bless you for trying to see a potentially positive motive in this. Even if so I still think the woman should have taken her aside rather than blurting it out like that where others could hear.
I've had something similar happen, although discreetly. When I was going through perimenopause and gained a little weight I went to my FIL's birthday party at a restaurant where the wife of one of my husband's cousins (who was a nurse) took me aside and told me she was concerned about the swelling in my lower legs and feet because it could mean heart disease, etc. I know she had the best of intentions but it scared me so much I went to the doctor, who sent me for several tests for all kinds of things including venous issues or lymphedema, but turned up nothing. When I subsequently went on Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig and lost 25 lbs. to get back to my normal weight the swelling disappeared.
Of course that was then. I was able to keep my weight down for over a decade with diet and exercise but after menopause despite dieting and exercise the weight came back and so has the swelling. Even my recent weight loss was not enough to get rid of that again and forget losing any more (thanks to medical issues I've discussed in the medical thread). But over the years I have had many nurses, doctors, and concerned strangers tell me it's everything under the sun. So as a result I never wear skirts or any pants that show my ankles anymore. I'm tired of it, not to mention fearing that people will make fun of the woman with the "cankles"!
I've pretty much given up salt. It helps.

Bobby never turns down the chance to eat something. The peanut bowl scene is hilarious, too.
Eames too. She likes Skittles.

I love hearing about peoples cultural backrounds. Life would be pretty boring if we all came from the same place.

It’s chocolate egg day for me, because I’m not religious. I grew up with it being like Christmas Day with Easter eggs. Big chocolate ones, with more in the middle.
dad got me a chocolate egg that looks like it won’t taste very nice, but I appreciate him getting it for me. I also have chocolate orange buttons, and individual caramellos from the world market.Ugh, I had a bf in high school whose mom was a major vegetarian. She got me a carob bunny. I thanked her profusely but truly, the thing was inedible.

Regarding the culture shock thing: so I’m no longer allowed to talk about a peeve I have with older (immigrant) family members who don’t respect my boundaries or how my idea of boundaries don’t fit someone whose family has been been here for generations because it’s not appropriate? Or that I’m too “colonized” to want to set boundaries? All of this gives me a headache. Wait, am I even allowed to say that?
Who says?

I wear a size 5.5 M (6 in athletic shoes). Do people ever make comments about the size of your feet?
Yes. All my life. I'm just really small. I can't help it.

Quoting myself to say I found the same items on Amazon. They might still be scammy, but I somehow feel better (-ish) about purchasing from Amazon. I can at least use an Amazon gift card and not hand out my credit card information to some random website.
Speaking of Amazon, I've been looking there for slip ons. I take a 5W. I can't find any anywhere.

I watched D. A. W. last night. It was so weird to see Kevin Tighe playing a doctor who is a junkie/murderer. I watch Emergency! on weekday mornings. He plays Roy DeSoto, an earnest and sweet paramedic. What an inside out change of character for him.

Wow, @Cloud9Shopper, this post seems to indicate you gained a lot of insight and growth from your (Lenten?) break from Reddit.
Very inspiring!
Now I just need to decide which online addiction I'm going to tank for a while, LOL. NY Times crossword? Wordle? PrimeTimer? Jeopardy!? Google????
Or maybe TV instead of the Web?
🤔
Not Prime Timer! We would be so sad. 😥

That’s my schedule also. I set the sleep timer on the TV when I’m watching Friends on Nick when I’m in bed reading since I know I’m going to fall asleep and don’t need to try to stay awake since I can practically recite the dialogue! I know what’s going to happen! 😆
Me too! 😏

He wore that raincoat even though it almost never rained. The raincoat was so much a part of his character that I never really thought about it til now.
From what I've read, it was just some manky old coat Falk happened to own and he thought it would work for the character.

I like the TBS episodes over the Nick episodes since TBS doesn’t skip any episodes and they show the “kicker” scene over the end credits…
We can only watch it on TBS in the morning/early afternoon. At night we can watch in on Nick but they've replaced the first hour with the detestable Young Sheldon. Apologies if you like that show but I do not.

Do you mean specific to this site? They've changed something recently (as of a few weeks ago, maybe); my ad blocker is now blocking hundreds of elements on individual pages within threads (e.g. 430 on this page!!) when it used to be dozens at most, and ads are now occasionally slipping through, so I have to use the "Block Element" option to get rid of them. The more I do that, the less frequently anything slips through, and - knock on wood - it has been a few days since I've had one.
I have Ad Bocker+ on my Chromebook and I'm not seeing any ads. I am on my phone though.

Thanks, all 🤗. If I keep it away from hot water, it's a bit better. So, tomorrow maybe a shower won't be so bad. No blisters, no blood. Just a mega oweeee. The air was purple/black/firey red in the kitchen after that mishap!!
If you're able to take Ibuprofin, I'd take a couple of those as well. Plus frozen peas make a good ice pack.

If you still have cable, COZI and Hallmark Mysteries and Movies show all of the seasons/episodes. There are several episodes of the reboot that I really enjoy: the college one, the one with Tyne Daly, the Dabney Coleman one, etc. Obviously I don't know the titles... There are also some reboots that are, quite frankly, terrible.
It's also on ABC Family.

I’m finally leaving the house, and I think I’m going to switch back to watching funny things. I really need a mood-boost. I also might finally start the Discworld series of books.
we have the eclipse happening in a couple of weeks. We’re in the path of totality, and we’re getting warnings to get anything important in, before crowds arrive, and clog up traffic. I had thought about going to the local state park, if dad was home, but it sounds like it’s going to be bad, so I’ll be in the back garden, if I can find some eclipse glasses. A local ice cream place is giving them away with a specific ice cream.
My birthday is the following weekend, and dad’s is the weekend after that. I already have cream cheese to make a small cheesecake for mine, and a chocolate cake mix for dad’s, but I might try another one from scratch. I’m terrible at decorating them, even though I used to be an artist. I didn’t get that particular talent that several aunts and my sister had/have.
there’s a Monty python sketch that pops into my head, whenever I say “and nothin else” or when it comes out of someone else’s mouth. I can’t post links anymore, for some reason (it isn’t the site, it’s happening almost everywhere in the past week).
I love the idea of having a back garden. It sounds so private and enchanting.

Chit-Chat: What's On Your Mind Today?
in Everything Else
Reddit has just had another format change. My lord, it's a mess. Anyway, I'm not seeing AITA anymore.
I love asparagus in the spring! Yesterday I made an asparagus and gouda quiche. So fresh and comforting.
