Plan to cook with chicken drumsticks for the first time in ages tomorrow. I don't have an oven so I'll be microwaving them. Any ideas how long it will take?
spoiler
Just kidding about the microwave. They'll be done on the stove in a tomatoey sauce. I plan to crisp the skin first and add them back in later, but what's a rough time period they'll need to be in the sauce for to cook through?
20-30min to cook through but with the bone and the sauce I’d prefer it go a little longer.
What do you guys think of this bed? Overpriced?
if it's well made that's a good price
Costly, but if it suits you it'll be fine. You get what you pay for after all. Forgot to flag Temple & Webster yesterday. You might like to check them out too - they have strong steel bed bases too.
That looks REALLY nice. Don’t skimp on the mattress to buy that though!
Uh oh. My fly friend is waiting for me in the bathroom again. Pervy.
You need to lure him in to the bowl with a turd then flush him down.
I had the opportunity once but it was just looking at me from the shower screen and I couldn't stand the awkwardness so I just flushed and got outta there.
That fly is now bullying you.
Yes now that you mention it. I feel intimidated. I'm going to start keeping a logbook of these events.

My efforts to do more tidying are being thwarted by Zooks demanding snuggles.
Surprisingly warmer tonight. 14 outside right now.
Hopefully will sleep better tonight with any luck.
I am looking forward to everyone's mushroom theories tm.
I cooked for my old folks tonight and they were giving me funny looks when I brought it up. They've actually never been more pleasant.
next time my in laws come over i'm going to wear my mushroom print jeans 🤭
Was watching a silly memes video. I really liked this one. strange fruit
Dallas Buyers Club is in the lawsuit news again, for losing a lawsuit requesting the identities of reddit users.
Has that movie even made a profit? How the fuck are they making enough money to keep the lawyers happy?
Dallas Buyers Club LLC is not the sole plaintiff. As per the article it’s a group of production companies bringing piracy lawsuit. ( a pretty weak one by the looks of it) The Reddit piece looks to be really inconsequential and superfluous in regards to the bigger picture.
