I read that as "turnpike trolls". It made me laugh. Turnpikes would be waaay awesomer if they really did have trolls wandering around demanding payment.

Idk UT, avoiding tolls or avoiding rt30.

Argh! Do you have good windows? I was in a house once where there was noise outside, but it was totally quiet inside, and they said the replacement windows changed everything wrt noise.

jinx · 06-11-2010, 02:07 PM

Original windows. Might as well not have any...

Undertoad · 06-11-2010, 02:31 PM

Argh! Well FWIW this place had Pella windows and it was right off a busy street, but it might as well have been a recording studio on the inside. Get the borough to pay for replacements!

Oh no, they just do what they want on their right-of-way, and you still pay taxes on the land.

Fantastic kayaking yesterday. Weather wasn't too hot, water wasn't too cold... the kids are old and capable enough at this point that I don't worry the whole time. In fact the boy is ready to graduate from his kid boat into my old Dagger.
First of many trips down the river this year. Yay!

For you girls that use makeup primer, like Smashbox's photofinish, which can be very expensive: look for anti-chafing gel with dimethicone in your drugstore--same thing, and far less expensive!

Where's the BurnedLikeJesus sockpuppet?

Do any of you guys drain the fat out of cooked ground beef by pouring it through a pasta strainer?

Mr. Clod does this, and it baffles and disgusts me.

Never thought of doing this, but it makes sense, sorta. Why does it baffle and disgust you?

Clodfobble · 06-16-2010, 11:15 PM

Because... because it's a pasta strainer. It would be like cutting your steak with a cheese slicer, it's just not right. But that's just the baffling part. The disgusting part is the fat clogs the mesh and is a pain in the ass to clean out again.

Well yes but we just have strainers of various different gauges. They don't have specific names or purposes, we just use which ever one is clean and best fits the purpose. Only exception being the fine plastic sieve for flour. It would be nasty if either pasta or beef was strained through that.

line the colander with paper towels first. The fat still drains, but is soaked up by the paper towels, which you can then just discard.
