I Just Found Out That You Don’t Have To Pay For An Ambulance In Europe.

My perfect mashed potatoes

The secret is in the water; literally, it’s IN the water.

See, when you boil potatoes, a lot of special starches and sugars and stuff leeches out into the water. When you drain the water before mashing them, you throw away a lot of good stuff, which is a big part of what makes mashed potatoes “dry” and bland, even when you add large amounts of cream and butter and things.

So don’t throw out any water.

Here’s how you do that:

First, cut your potatoes into smaller cubes than you probably do. (I’ve left the skins on for flavor and also, that’s where a lot of a potato’s nutrients are, like protien and iron and vitamins B and C, just to name a few)

The reason for cutting them smaller (besides avoiding giant peices of skin) is so that there is less space in the pot between each peice for water to fill, so you use less water to cook them. That’s important because you won’t be draining any water, so you can’t afford to have too much water! For the same reason, just barely cover them with water when they go on the stove.

But! Before you do that, put the pot on the stove with some butter, garlic, and seasonings; let the butter start to sizxle just a little then put most of a single layer of potatoes in the pan and let the brown and sear. Turn them, brown them on all sides, get ‘em fairly dark (I forgot to get a pic here because I was worried I’d burn the butter).

Ready? now throw the rest of the potatoes in right on top, and add your water, give them a stir. This way, you’re boiling in some of that lovely fried potato/french fry flavor.

Okay, so, as they cook, you may need to add a little water, not too much! ideally the very highest piece of potato will be poking just above the surface. Now, when your potatoes are really really soft, mash them directly into the water. Just pull them off the stove, leave all the water in, and start mashing. Trust me. At first you’ll think there’s too much water. If you get them mashed and they ARE a little too liquidy, just put ‘em back on the stove. You’ll have to stir often or constantly, but they will steam off additional water without losing any good stuff.

Now add some salt, and taste. Right?! And you haven’t even put in any cream or cheese or anything yet.

Speaking of which, you can use like, a third of the amount of butter or cream or anything, and they will still taste better than usual. So they taste better AND they are higher in nutrients AND lower in fats and salts! That’s a lot of win — enjoy your potatoes!

Fuck Columbus! Indigenous Rights! And happy Thanksgiving!

This could save lives so I thought I’d share!

Me and the baseball team are going to metropolis this weekend to spray paint pride flags on lux Luthers tower, who wants to come?

Edit: he doesn’t deserve to have his name spelled correctly. I’ll change it when he starts funding charities.

@fuckthegcpd hey you ever notice how police brutality protests usually end in police brutality? Or am I delusional

So, update on the whole villain arc thing.

I can talk to other animals, so far cats, raccoons, possums, rats and dogs.

And it is surprisingly easy to get them to steal for you. Literally just taught a flock of pigeons how to pick pocket someone.

Lady’s, gentlemen and others, I have gathered the votes, and here’s this week’s edition of

“Who’s gonna fuck up public transit the most”

Starting at 10$, we have Two-face. He’s been inactive lately, so it makes sense

At 7$, we have, Surprisingly, Riddler. Then again, school started about two weeks ago, so, you know, tis the season

And at 2$, we have Joker. He’s just been put back in Arkham, so we have a good two days to a week before he starts fucking shit up

That’s it for this week everyone, I’ll post the results on Saturday!

A somewhat quick drawing of a Sentinel, one of my fav dragons due to how powerful they are. Also, their design is pretty cool.

So I took some wallets.

Long story short, who wants authentic GCPD police badges and ID’S
