Hopefully before you gave her her presents.
I like cooking, so I went all out trying to cook a nice chicken dinner for me and my wife. I made stock the day before, brined a chicken, made basically everything from scratch, etc. In my haste to get everything ready, I cooked the chicken upside down. 🤦♂️
Alongside this, I have IBS, but am relatively lucky in that I can usually see the signs of when my stomach will start acting up. I've been planning a boxing day walk, and I'm so bloated my stomach looks bigger than my (30 weeks pregnant) wife's. It's gonna be a fun day...
Really sorry about the IBS. That always sucks. Re the chicken- what happens when you cook it upside-down? Isn't meat meat? Sorry, I'm totally ignorant on this.
I've only ever heard of it being a plus. It's supposed to make the breast meat juicier.
The NFL. Really? Two games on Christmas? Multiple games on Christmas Eve? Go fuck yourselves.
I mean you can just say NFL in general. Ruins a good chunk of the year hearing about it during work discussions.
No, I will never care about a sport, and especially not overpaid assholes who play it for more money in a couple minutes than I will ever make in years, or more in one game than I will ever see in one place ever.
If I had a genie I would change culture so sports got moved to the same category as politics and religion so you'd never hear about it if you weren't around scumbags.
I also don't care in the slightest who's winning in a huge stadium.
I've found that a blank stare when they get to the punch line of their dramatic sports story usually ends the whole thing. You're meant to react big to every story, so zero reaction throws people off when they want to talk sports.
This is genius.
