I'd like to reiterate that agaricus bisporus aka button mushrooms aka cremini aka portobellos are absolute trash tier mushrooms and they taste terrible. Literally every other kind I've cooked I've been like 'wow this is delicious!'

"Crab" cakes turned out great

Guy who instead of saying "umm" or sitting with a little dead air fills every space by going "tch-tch-tch-tch-tch"

I genuinely think agaricus bisporus is the worst of the commonly eaten mushrooms. They kind of just suck in every recipe I've tried.

Accidentally ripped a bit of lion's mane off when trying to move it. Throwing it in the pan with some butter yielded a tasty bite.

We should all just be grilling some corn right now

Ngl I kind of hope Canada kicks our ass

"Fool's Spring" and it's just some shitty metal coil

MOREOVER, LAKE SHORE DRIVE MUST BE DESTROYED

Welcoming myself back to the war on cars Jesus fucking Christ.

Putting on jeans to go for a bike ride feels very fucked up

I wish the nightclubs near me offered late night discounts. Like yeah I know that the show price was $30 but if I walk by at 2:30am omw home from something else and I want to dance for an hour and worsen my hangover it should be like $10.

Going on twitter and seeing my whole feed being that video from lzhs is wild. Wishing I had an old lake zurich bears tshirt but any tshirt I had in high school would be 1) too small and 2) say something like "orch dork"

Just saw an IG story "Five signs the 'gregorian chant' you're listening to is AI slop" I'm not even sure how to phrase this...yes human art is intrinsically more meaningful but ai slop Gregorian chants cannot be a real problem anyone has, can it?

Tegan hosted galentines at our place yesterday so naturally I've had nothing but gummy worms and charcuterie to eat today. The amount of snack food in our house is so great I may never cook again.

Bobbers is the best bar in Chicago*

Cracking up at a dumbass Lake Zurich High School student describing it as "in Chicago"

New e-divvys?

The sunlight on my face feels... warm?

Such a fun rave

one of us! one of us! one of us!

Hyped for tonight's guyLANtines party (it just rolls off the tongue)

The Olympic coverage should have a segment where they show everyone who medaled that day and show an image of their face at peak exertion. Show me the stank faces!

Where is the best Chicago patio open in February?

They should do swimming in the winter Olympics but in a really cold pool

last chance to name a snowplow BAN CARS AND PUNISH DRIVERS

For most of my adult life I would go to "concerts" or "shows" or "festivals" or "da clerb" but I was not going to "raves" except for that one time I went to a Freakeasy event which was definitely a fire hazard. And the definitely-illegal-and-unsafe aspect of it is what makes it a "rave" right?

Nort-a-boy-halsted

Someone nuked a fish in the office today 🫡

to be clear this isn't a shot at picky eaters. it's a shot at anyone with any food preferences different from my own at all

My mom has a bunch of little crystals that cast rainbows throughout the room when the sun hits them. She's had them for as long as I can remember. I don't know if SHE just really loves them or if she's confusing me for my 6 year old nephew but she keeps sending me pictures of them like yuuup I know?

Beautiful day to hot tub in the Chicago River

"They're acting like they're never going to lose power! Panic!" Okay well they're also acting like germs don't exist because they didn't die snorting blow off of stinky toilets soooo y'know there's plenty of misplaced confidence.

Tegan's car broke down at Big Jewel so naturally her parents are now driving in from the suburbs

What I mean by "hype being true" is that skynet actually *is* able to launch nukes - which is the core promise that the Terminator movies are making.

I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibility of the skynet hype being...true.

About to go light a cig on a train car and collect $ (kidding plz don't do that)

Guy who wants to "mob" on every single ticket <<<<< Like bruthyr if you're lonely we can get beers after work but please stop tying up the time of every single person on our team to watch you program for two hours, we all have other shit to do!

Wanting more caffeine but knowing it will cause my eye to begin twitching ;/

Is there a specific type of 311 request to file for getting someone to remove a bunch of plastic from these trees? I don't own a ladder or I'd do it myself

Was looking into the recently closed crssfit gym in my building that got fined $10,000 at the start of covid for operating illegally and found the answer to a years long nightmare of being woken up by noise/vibration. I assumed it was an upstairs neighbor but a lawsuit from 10yr ago suggests the gym

The Olympic coverage on Peacock is actually pissing me off so much, they show like 30 seconds of actual competition for every 10 minutes of fluff and ads

Dude took a phone call with his girlfriend in the squat rack next to me tonight. He's trying to return to normalcy with her after they had a big fight on super bowl Sunday when he asked who she was texting and she had a stronger than expected reaction. He kept coming back to a central theme.

Hearing about the stupid bridge drama like 😲 I was just there looking at the ambassador bridge, a bridge operated by an enormous moron!

Sometimes I see TikToks of people with enormous pupils acting very normal and I think that's probably just SSRIs and similar psychiatric drugs. But they *could* be filming themselves acting normal on psychedelics. #ActNormalChallenge for anyone trying to get this started.

Guy in meeting: "Sorry I derailed us a bit" Guy #2 in meeting: "It's all good, I think we all wanted to scuba dive on this one" !!!!!!!!! I love hearing a new-to-me corporate euphemism

I need some luge gloves for cycling

Is it just me or does peacock streaming suuuuuck? Every other streaming service works great, no stuttering, trying to watch the Olympics and it's like stop motion

I thought they'd be done filming by now but I guess not #beefpost
