This might be best to use in a forum to belittle someone's silly rant, not said aloud. (if nothing else, you'd make them look it up) I'm sure if you used it in a sentence talking to someone,  you'd just get puzzled looks.

Allrecipes

Last month I posted a video and review of Food Wishes, a part of Allrecipes.  Today I'm focusing on the "parent" site and YouTube channel.

I've subscribed to Allrecipes in my reader for nearly as long as I've been using a reader and it's one of my favorite recipes sites.  Just like any other site, I don't care for ALL the recipes, but most seem to be great and I particularly like reading the reviews of a recipe before deciding to save it or not.  Also, like any recipe site worth its salt (no pun intended...at least, not until after I had written it), it's easy to navigate, with well-defined categories and many of the recipes have accompanying videos.

There's the option to go "Pro" for a fee, nothing too outrageous IMHO.  This allows the subscriber a menu planner, a custom recipe feature that allows alterations to a dish, advanced printer options and nutrition search not available with the "freebie" membership.  (Disclaimer: I'm a cheapskate and have the free membership.)

Along with their regular YouTube channel, they have a UK version: Allrecipes UK | Ireland. (If the vids were narrated by a sexy Irish female accent, I'd probably subscribe, to heck with the metric ingredient measurements!)

Here's one of the latest videos;  I've been craving these for a while.

4053 Days

That's how long it's been.  The hours/minutes/seconds are approximate, but very close.

• 350,179,200 seconds
• 5,836,320 minutes
• 97,272 hours
• 4053 days
• 579 weeks

I'm not braggin' or even complaining.  I knew it had been a long time, but over 4000 days?  Good grief.

What's Your Accent Color?

Your Accent Is Brown

You influence others through radical acceptance. You can see the abundance in any situation. You have a grounded and down to earth approach to life. You don't get too worked up with your emotions. You are happy to be in the moment and sit with what is. Here and now are all that matters, all that you need. You are good at facilitating oneness and wholeness in life. You see how we all play our part in the world, and you know where to look for meaning.

There's probably something to this, at least as far as my own favorite accent color. I like browns and other earth tones, prefer brown shoes to black. My only problem is I wear them with a blue suit.
