My dad went out in the snow storm to plow his office's driveway. I'm worried that he'll get in a car accident on the way there or back. Talk about nerve-wrecking!

It is easier said than done. I can't seem to find the balance between worrying about other people's feelings and standing up for my own in a healthy way.Never do that.
Never do that either.
I know, easier said than done, but never done if never attempted.
Thank you. It's hard when the father of my children doesn't seem to value my efforts over the 20 years we were together, but that's part of the reason he's my ex.Always believe that you have more worth than those that think you have less.
I would never think you were being a smart ass!Not being a smart ass, okay?
• I always read through a recipe before starting.
• Taters that are soaked first cook better because it gets the starch out.
The recipe should have had "cooking time after soaking" to be clear. Following recipes is hard when they aren't exact!
Always use frozen tater tots.And this is why I hate cooking… I’m following a recipe for roasted potatoes & it says total prep plus cooking time is 35 minutes. Perfect. Then I read the instructions and the first thing it says to do is soak the potatoes for half an hour! Where is that in the 5 minutes prep time?? It always takes twice as long as advertised. And in the case of cooking, longer isn’t better![]()

I'm just glad I read it when I did - I had an idea that they would take 30 minutes-ish to cook, so I might have not looked it up until 30 minutes before I wanted to have dinner... it said soaking them would make them crispier, but they weren't very crispy
I suppose I should be more prepared for dinner in general, I guess.
Sounds good to me. Depends how you like your roasties.*puts British TT knowledge to work*
Dry them off completely. Season taters.
Heat oil in the baking dish.
Add taters, stir, and roast/bake. Turn, etc.
@Wand3rlust - is this correct?
(I roast them in my AF, oiling and seasoning my taters before cooking)
Love a crispy roast potato too!Sounds good to me. Depends how you like your roasties.
I like mine very crispy on the outside but soft in the middle. So I over boil them, and shake them before putting them in the fat. Then turn them frequently or baste them.
Roast potatoes... I'm drooling now and Sunday is 6 - count them! - days awayLove a crispy roast potato too!
I give them a shake once drained to rough them up a bit and then dust them with flour before putting in the fat
Shaking is crucial in my experience. It makes them rough, and (I guess) that exposes more surface area to the fat, and heat.I over boil them, and shake them before putting them in the fat
Never had a celebrity death hit me like Bobs.....The knowing its actually over is toughI'm just so sad about Bob Weir![]()
You want dick pics?With much of North America frozen or snowed in, shouldn’t more people be on Lit making me horny right now?
