1. Don't eat corn on the cob in front of your computer. It squirts all over the place. lol

2. Don't sleep in too late. You'll get a late breakfast and no lunch and wind up eating potato chips to hold you over till dinner.


5:04 PM DH just fixed me a ham and dill pickle sandwich to hold me over some more. Dinner is at 7 (it better be good) lol

PS. Not only was it good, it was delicious, well worth the wait. It was called "Braised Pork Shoulder in Hoisin-Wine Sauce with Dried Plums" from Cooking Light mag. back in Oct. 2004. Sorry, it was a cook in the oven recipe, no grilling.

Braised Pork Shoulder in Hoisin-Wine Sauce & Dried Plums Recipe

The long, slow braising technique results in a pork roast that's ultraflavorful and moist. Though braising isn't quick, the oven does most of the work. As for wine, try the combination of pork and riesling. It may seem surprising to pair a "big" meat like pork with a white wine like riesling...

4. If you don't know how to use the coffee maker, don't get up before your mate, who does. Leftover coffee sucks.!

Don't tug on Superman's cape.
Don't spit into the wind.
Don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger.

They seem like sensible suggestions, and also vaguely familiar.

If you've been chopping jalapeños and need to go to the bathroom, wash your hands first.

7. If you have long hair, don't let it drag in chocolate syrup. It makes a mess of your clothes. lol

You can tell someone this a thousand times but they still won't remember it until it happens.

And even if you do wash it's sometimes not enough

If you have a bad cough take laxatives.

Then you will be afraid to cough....

If you’ve been chopping jalapeños, even hand washing is not enough if you’re planning on touching your partner down there.

Man, if ya'll think jalapenos are bad, don't even think about Scotch bonnets, habaneros, ghost peppers, Carolina reapers, etc. And eyes should be added to the list of sensitive parts.

When using a BB gun to depressurize an aerosol can of spray insulation, stand farther back than normal. For some reason, those cans can seem "nozzle dead" when there's still a surprising amount of propellant...that stuff can travel and will NOT come out of clothes.

When boiling potatoes use a SS or coated pan. Don't just grab a steel or aluminum one that has been sitting in the dish rack.
I should know better, but I just made that mistake, and most of my potatoes turned dark, or grey.
Not a very appetizing look for tater salad

Don't eat so many potato chips, your DH might surprise you and serve dinner early like you keep asking him to do.
