drillkicker Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Having bought a smart TV today, it has occurred to me that we currently have no thread to confess our sins. This shall be that thread. Be not afraid, for your transgressions will be forgiven, after a penance of thorough mockery and facepalming from all of your fellow gonks. Your confessions may begin, and I welcome you all to deliver the penances due to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Once, I needed pine nuts for some pesto. I saw how expensive they were and ran them through the self check out as salted peanuts instead. 2 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wanna be the second guy to confess something, and suddenly everyone goes quiet and exchanges awkward looks. Edit: Like when I try to be funny. "Lol."

Cryptowen Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 during the summer of 2016 i found a sandwich on the ground & started eating it & it turned out there were ants in & i kept eating it this happened on more than one occassion 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 That triggered a memory for me. I remember as a kid maybe 4 or 5 years old I was given a beef tongue sandwich and I was supposed to eat it outside in the back yard. Horrified at the thought of eating tongue I pulled the meat out and fed it to the ants and just ate the bread and mustard. I’m sure my grandparents paid good money for that tongue 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drillkicker Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 They weren't supposed to say what it is until after you ate it. That's the only way to get people hooked on lengua. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be so easy, and no way they'd ever know. This must be so common. Now I just need to research what the cheapest by-weight item is in every grocery store I frequent. Once, in my early 20's, I ate liquorice someone left on a movie theatre seat, unpackaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a late 80s Don Henley album that's worth like $90 suddenly this year, but I'm forgetting which one. A record dealer friend texted me about it the other week. EDIT: End Of Innocence - a really clean copy can easily get $50 right now, one of those weird quarantine things like the $100+ Tracy Chapman sales.

Honestly I think a LOT of bulk food goes out of stores this way. I'll confess to doing the same all the time with the real chocolate chips vs the fake ones (I mean what did they expect when stocking both? lol) Here's mine: I've never listened to All End in its entirety. Not sure if I ever will. Edited November 14, 2020 by toaoaoad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days, pine nuts already qualify as confession material regardless of context. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/pesto-how-insatiable-demand-pine-nuts-make-sauce-damaging-environment-a6703226.html I've actually considered starting a thread like this off and on for like a year to make this specific confession, and now that it exists I almost forgot: Whenever people post about BoC I instinctively assume they're talking about Blue Oyster Cult and have to correct myself.

There's a very good reason why they're so expensive You can make decent pesto with just about any other kind of nut. Almonds are good. If you're really on a budget, sunflower seeds work just fine. With all that basil and garlic will you REALLY taste the difference? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Before she retired my mom was a grocer and developed an in-house pesto for the store where she worked that was so popular rival stores tried to get the recipe, people would come from other parts of the state to get it, and someone at one point tried to get her to start an LLC and bring it to market. The secret was just make a standard pesto with good ingredients, but use 4x the usual amount of garlic. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubularCorporation Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 The week before the US elections I ordered a 5 pound bag of Haribo bears, and then ate the entire thing during election week.
