Do I really need to bring the pen into the shower though? I could just hit it before I step in. Or maybe I should smoke a joint outside, then run into the shower as fast as I can. Read more

Add some vinegar to whatever non-dairy milk you like using, or better yet, water down some plant-based sour cream or yogurt. If it’s just a lactose issue, just use lactose-free milk and the pickle brine; it won’t be as rich as thick buttermilk, but it’ll still get the job done, and done damn well. Read more

Please send letters to the Ivies and my CEO saying as much. If we can dream it, we can do it.  Read more

3 cups post-pulverization. I mix them with panko so the flavor isn’t overkill, as you don’t want to drown out the chicken itself. If you’re not a fan of sour cream and onion, try using plain potato chips and spicing them up yourself, or use your favorite flavor of chip and see how it goes. (And let me know your Read more

Croissants would also be a great choice! Send me pics after you’ve made them, no matter how pretty they are. I love seeing my recipe babies out there, and your efforts should be celebrated.  Read more

WOOHOO! If you have pics, hit me up on Twitter or IG so I can share them with everyone. Absolutely love seeing pics of my recipes out in the wild.  Read more

You can also do this in a 450-degree oven, but it will take about twice as long to cook. I’d check the thighs with a meat thermometer after 20 minutes, keep an eye on it with regular temp checks, and then make a note when they’re done so that next time I could just set it and forget it.  Read more

You can scale it down if you want! With all the other stuff in the sandwich, I found the cayenne wasn’t noticeable enough unless I used it with a heavy hand. Of course, you can leave it out altogether if you don’t want a spicy chicken sandwich. You can also change up which potato chips you use to accommodate your own Read more

Thank you for helping me get this doctor rumor started. If I continue to manifest it, it’s just a matter of time before Harvard calls.  Read more

I am absolutely going to need to try this with Funyuns! Thanks for the tip.  Read more

I definitely understand why you’d run to Popeyes instead of making this. One reason this recipe works for me is I have a family of four, and two of those people are teenage boys, so even cheap fast food sandwiches for dinner will run me like fifty bucks. Other reason is because of that last note about freezing the Read more

The next non-alcoholic beer I review for Like a Virgin, I’ll be doing so in the shower. You guys have convinced me.  Read more

In the nearly 2 years I’ve been here, this is the first time a comment has made me choke on my coffee. Excellent joke. My hat is firmly tipped! Read more

What does it do for your hair that shampoo/conditioner doesn’t? I have a wild mop of wavy hair that has a mind of its own during the summer, so maybe I need to get it wasted?  Read more

My husband is 6' 6" and 300 lbs, and the amount of booze he could knock back back then was insane Read more
