I assumed it was a Phillipeism. I think he likes Pyrexes because they are like pirateses. (sic)

[lprkn]

Also, I love "Theory Noodle". I think the theory prefix can apply to most anything. Like, "Theory dog".

The theory dog is the best kind of dog, really.

Is it an intended Phillipeism that he calls a Pyrex bowl "a Pyrex" or is this a thing that people do?

If it is a Phillipeism, I approve.

If this is a common shortening, I do not approve. There is shortening language for convenience and then there is being pointlessly vague.

Many things other than bowls can be Pyrex.

I figured it was a Pyrex measuring cup for whatever reason. Just seems more Lyle.

Totally. Why measure with a cup and then pour it into a bowl when the measuring cup would work? Certainly not just because it would be more civilized.That's Lyle for you.

Eating microwaved ramen out of a measuring cup is that little moment when you say to yourself:

"Huh.  I guess it has been a year since I've been in a relationship."

My measuring cup must be small, then.

Right now we are cooking "Chinese Spaghetti" for dinner.
Ramen, no flavor packet, sesame oil and soy sauce. Peppered chicken.
YEAH
YEAH

Eating microwaved ramen out of a measuring cup is that little moment when you say to yourself:

"Huh.  I guess it has been a year since I've been in a relationship."

Especially if you're eating it while standing over a sink with yesterday's saucepan of Mac 'n Cheese sitting in it.

Under the sink: a bag of potatoes, some of which you eat raw with a little salt.

...after deforesting the growths that are now poking out of the bag.

I knew it was a while for me when I realized I hadn't cleaned off my Foreman Grill in a couple of years.

When I finally met my wife, she refused to eat food that had been cooked on it.

[theinevitable]

oh!
That reminds me. I haven't cleaned mine in... a month?

But I mostly cook paninis and quesadillas on there, so it's mostly leftover nasty cheese!

OH! DISGUSTING!

[jaydub]

When I finally met my wife, she refused to eat food that had been cooked on it.

You fool!  You let her see it?  My wife believes that grilled foods are delivered by scampering woodland creatures and have nothing to do with the stained, blackened, sagging contraption that darkens a corner of our backyard.

The year-since relationship measure syncs up kind of worryingly with my experience. I got twitchy the other night and went through our kitchen and one of the things I cleaned was our cheese-encrusted sandwich maker. A later conversation with my house-mate revealed it hadn't been used at least since my ex moved out about 9 months ago. Luckily it turns out grilled cheese keeps pretty well.

Why does the board warn you when you're posting and there have been new posts, but it doesn't warn you when you're posting and it's going to start a new page? Drives me crazy.
