    In elementary school, the bathroom was a large room with stalls all around and a foot-activated-fountain-thingy in the middle to wash your hands.

    It was perfectly fine and non-gendered.

    Around here, most restaurants have 2+ fully enclosed single-user bathrooms instead of multiple stalls, so gendering those is especially useless.


  • “We have always tested finished goods before they leave our control, and we remain fully confident in the safety and quality of the toothpaste we make. In addition, we have engaged water specialists to evaluate our systems at Sanford, have implemented additional safeguards to ensure compliance with FDA standards, and our water testing shows no issues. We are also making capital investments as part of an ongoing, significant upgrade of the Sanford plant’s water system.”

    Corpo-speak translation:
    Our own internal investigation found nothing wrong with it (that we didn’t already know and dismiss) but we’re also spending money to make it even more not-wrong.






  • My grandad used to make “Fricassée”, although his recipe has little to do with actual fricassée. Fat, potato, chicken broth.

    Toss some diced onions (and/or garlic) in whatever fat you’ve got on hand until they brown slightly or become translucent.
    Add potatoes (cut into chunks about 2") and water.
    Not too much water… almost cover the potatoes, but the top layer of potatoes should still peak out of the water.
    Mix in powdered chicken broth, I just wing the quantity here, aiming for a light yellow.
    Simmer and stir until the water is mostly absorbed and potatoes are can be cut easily with a knife.
    If potatoes look done but it’s too watery, crush a few chunks of potatoes and mix the starch in with the rest. Aim for a thick gravy.

    The fat could be whatever you got on hand, whether that’s butter, oil, margarine, shortening, saindoux, or leftover fat from some other pervious cooking is fine.
    Onions and/or garlic are nice, but ultimately optional.
