This grilled cheese thing is one of the best thread derails ever.

Never would I put mayo on a grilled cheese. Butter or gtfo. My old roommate would put mayo in his Kraft dinner. Yuck.

I just tried mayo on my grilled ham and cheese. It was pretty good! Had a little different tang to it, but it crisped up real nice. I'm not sure if I liked it better than butter, but still delicious. I might try doing mayo on one half of the bread and butter on the other to get a better feel. But to all the 'Mayo GTFO!' crowd, don't knock it till you've tried it!

I think it may only be a redneck southern thing, but do you guys like pimento cheese dip?

Pimento cheese is delicious but there are too many attempts to fancy it up nowadays, much like deviled eggs.

You mean like this ?


Yes, but old English and the roka blue flavor are both better.

Something to look into--my local library system does electronic checkouts of ebooks, including Kindle-format books. Uses an app to browse, place holds, check out, etc. You never have to physically go to the library! It's not perfect (they don't have everything, you often have to wait to get a book, you only get a finite time to have the book) but it's free* and mostly awesome.

* It costs taxes but you might as well get some value for the money you pay in.

Nasty. I grew up with that stuff always in the fridge and it's one of the few things I never raided.

I love when Mom would leave a half-can of frosting in the fridge then be SHOCKED when she went back to it a few weeks later - expecting it to still be there half full. Lol I'm hitting that stuff hard every day until it's basically gone. Especially the sour cream or cream cheese frosting. Oh man so good.

My stepdad came home one day when I was in like 5th grade and accused me of doing coke. I had raided the powdered sugar - lol.

Are you eating the sour cream by the spoonful?

I just bought a Kindle Fire on Friday for this very reason. Glad my city doesn't require me to pay taxes on library books. That'd piss me off.

Can't find a pic of the sour cream frosting can but it's the same concept as this:



I think they may have just rebranded their regular vanilla:



Damn now I'm hungry.

Gotcha. I wasn't aware of such a thing.

There's a lot of recipes for sour cream frosting on the web. I just don't think they boldly advertise it on the can anymore. Maybe it freaks out millennials.

Boom - found one way down on image search.

Ironic that the library is a homeless shelter used by those who don't pay for it.


He means property taxes, which along with donations are the main funding source.

Pretty sure a homeless shelter used by people who do pay for it is called a hotel.

Yes I have been thinking of getting a kindle or something equivalent. The library is only 7 minutes away by car or 14 minutes by bike so it's not a hassle going there.

I'm kinda feeling like a ****ing idiot now. That seems obvious in retrospect.

Good call potato

Yeah, Hoopla is pretty freakin' awesome. I found out about it by accident when I was taking my daughter to the library to kill time before her sports practices instead of going all the way home and coming back. Digital books, audio books, and music all at no cost. Apps for ios, droid and kindle.

There might be other services out there that are similar so I guess it just depends on the library but my guess is that hoopla is one of the big players in this market.

- Having a bath, whenever I like it, having the temperature in a house as warm as I like it. Basically not think about utilities.
- Quality food.
- Being able to switch-off my phone and not reading my emails and basically be able to kind of disappear for few days. Last one costs nothing but feels like a HUGE luxury.
- Good perfume
- Quality underwear
- Flowers
- I meet with few guys, I went together to university, about two times a year. This nights out feel every time like a luxury, although we do the same things we did as broke students.
-Nice clean home without junk and chaos
-Just my bed after a week travelling feels like a huge luxury.
- Wellness-beauty day at home. I make some home-made beauty mixtures from greek yoghurt or veg or fruits or olive oil and honey...... The list is very long. A lot of things you can eat, you can also apply as a skin product. It costs a fraction of some fruit peeling in a beauty salon and gives me same feeling. The real effect is for me also about the same

butter inside and out

cheddar and provolone (both sliced) inside

also I spread some minced garlic on the inside

The cheap toilet seat bidets are too great to explain. The first forum I ever joined was for the tool brand rigid and was mostly plumbers. It had political strife, gun debates, all kinds arguments and trolling about pricing and sharing knowledge for free with would be customers...just like this place. The very most heated thread in history was over toilet seat bidets. One big anti faction was the drain cleaning group who claimed to make 25-50% of their yearly nut unclogging toilet lines that had been ****ed up by people using "flushable" moist wipes and baby wipes.

Anyway I got to try a fancy Japanese toilet seat bidet once and it's a brand new world from that day forward. Never felt better. There is no excuse to rub dry, bleached paper across the dirtiest part of your body when you can use water just like you would to wash anything else in life. The best single argument I read in that forum was "if you every get a poke through do you just wipe your finger with paper or wash it with water after?"

Here's the one I bought. Super cheap, I'd pay 10x.

Also upgraded my deadbolts to the electronic keypad version. It is smart house connectable which I plan to do at some point, but not having to root in three different pockets to fish out my keys when I have my hands full of groceries, briefcase and gym bag, or even when they are empty feels like a win every time. Plus I have programmed it to auto-lock after 30 seconds so I don't have to worry about me, the wife or kids forgetting.

Both of these are the types of purchases that make me think about how I am glad I discovered them every single time I use them which is daily.

ETA one more. My boss who is a young rich VP put me onto the chase sapphire reserve card. I never considered a card with a fee before, and this one is $450, but it is worth it and has already paid for itself the first 6 weeks.

-$300 travel credit every year
-free tsa pre reimbursement
-free airport lounge membership
-3x points on travel or restaurant
-price match on all purchases
For Amazon heads if you put all your purchases in your cart after you buy them it will inform you of price drops
-all kinds of travel insurance for lost bags, cancellation protection, blah blah blah
-extra year on manufacturers warranty on anything you buy
-purchase protection for anything you buy including if you break it or lose it yourself. My boss got a brand new phone after dropping his and shattering it.
-if you spend 4K in the first three months you get 100,000 points also which is $1500 in travel

There is more stuff too. Maybe a lot of the ballers ITT already know about this stuff but it surprised the crap out of me. I already got 4 of my fellow pleb friends to sign up for it.
