PooOnShu 8 hours agoThat pbj looks disgusting. Who wants to bite into a huge gob of peanut butter, and then into a huge gob of jelly? Just spread them out. I never have jelly leak the old fashioned way. YOU must be doing something wrong. Also, frosting on a cupcake? Unless it’s cream cheese frosting, it’s gotta go. Scrape that shit.

OMG NO, the PB&J thing is still wrong. All you have take the amounts of peanut butter and jelly you want and mix them together. Now you don’t have jelly sliding out everywhere.

Genuine protips: 1) You can’t actually bake cookies on your car dashboard, unless you live on Mercury, in which case you’ve got bigger problems. Trying it will melt the chocolate chips in the raw cookie dough, which is yummy, but you could do the same thing in the microwave in a fraction of the time. 2) I don’t care what you’re making with the potatoes, always leave the skins on. That’s where all the vitamins are. Yes, that includes if you’re mashing them. If you can’t stand skins, save yourself some time and eat library paste instead. 3) The right way to make a PB&J is not to put so much damn jelly on in the first place. It’s mostly flavored sugar and meant to be a condiment for the peanut butter, not a major ingredient. 4) Smashing an aluminum can on your head is pointless. The whole reason that it was impressive when John Belushi did it in Animal House was because they used steel cans then. Also, the baking soda for making hardboiled eggs trick is impressive.

BrittanyGreco 3 months agoThese are great…especially the “right ways” to cut cherry tomatoes and to get the pomegranate seeds out from the skin. It always takes me forever to eat a pomegranate, and it’s such a mess. I tried this method and it was extremely fast and neat.

That chip bag folding technique, of course, comes at a time when I’ve decided to start a diet that doesn’t include such things. Otherwise, so irritatingly useful. It made me feel like that guy did about peeling the banana. I wish I had known that a long time ago.

dennisl9 5 months agowhat a ridiculous way to peel a potato. Is saving a shavings worth of potato worth the hassle of boiling water, the energy it takes to boil water, the ice you need for the ice bath, and not to mention preparing and cleaning the bowls and pot you need to do this just to be “cool”. How stupid can some people be?

Ever heard of green tomatoes? Of course, I’ve never seen them used in a BLT before.

So that I could pack up the skins, and mail them to you. You could then deep fry them and eat them, scrub your body with them, use them as compost, or whatever you so desire to use them for. Some recipes, such as creamy mashed potatoes, potato salad, and potato cheese soup are better without the potato skin in them IMHO.

ashlynicoled 4 months agoTo make sure you can get the bad spots out… duh, I don’t like random bites of gross potato…

boweryboy 4 months agoI’m with Ryan. I never peel my potatoes. The skin provides fiber and helps to retain all of the nutrients. Instead, I use a sturdy vegetable brush and give the potatoes a vigorous scrubbing under slowly running water - almost a trickle. After a minute or two I have a nicely scrubbed potato. I then gouge out any of the eyes with a paring knife. In fact I use this technique for pretty much any root vegetable.
