Stuff You Can't Do
 
You can't re-heat Chinese food or french fries.

wolf 01-18-2011 11:44 AM

I'll go for can't reheat french fries in a microwave, but I've done it successfully in the oven, but who reheats in the oven any more?

I reheat chinese all the time. It gets hot and tasty.

I find it gets soggy and glue-y :(

wolf 01-18-2011 12:03 PM

Okay, the General Tso's gets all funny, but if you choose something without breading, it works a lot better. Kung Pao Chicken is a good reheat, so are all the soups.

Shawnee123 01-18-2011 12:03 PM

So first I was all like 'dude, there's a clip of that skit.' Then I was all like "Oh, dwellar names IRL!'

This really will be my year. I feel it in my bones!


glatt 01-18-2011 12:04 PM

If something has breading, putting it in a dry frying pan works well. Crisps up the breading and heats it up well.

BigV 01-18-2011 12:07 PM

good tip glatt, thanks man.

glatt 01-18-2011 12:09 PM

works pretty well on pizza slices too.

wolf 01-18-2011 12:11 PM

I prefer to do the pizza slices in the oven. Almost like fresh that way.

You can't make a horse drink.

I prefer my chinese leftovers cold.

i have some spicy sesame chicken from Hing Far waiting for dinner

Incorrect.
It isn't very nice though.

I, personally, cannot cut a straight line using scissors.
When it's been necessary for something I was making that I really wanted to look good, I've used a craft knife and a ruler.

You cant reheat leftover pasta with a cream-based sauce either.

What if it's in ice cream? (And incredibly delicious.)

monster 01-18-2011 04:04 PM

what about it? if it's real tea, it had to be made properly before it was put into the ice cream. Otherwise it's just a lame, unproperly-brewed excuse for the beverage that is tea.

zippyt 01-18-2011 04:22 PM

so in other words it would be Wea

But... but... what if you're only using the microwave to boil the water, and you add the teabag after it comes out? Boiling water is boiling water, right?

monster 01-18-2011 08:38 PM

Nope. Can you actually get water to boil in a microwave, like really boil? It always "explodes" in ours. Teabag tea is also borderline. :lol:

monster 01-18-2011 08:38 PM

You can't..... give yourself a BJ. Can you?

Put the mug in for 2:30. You might have microbubbles, but it will be boiling.

(adjust time downward for less than a mug of water. In fact, consider hitting that "beverage" button you don't use for the correct timing for your power level)

Just don't put the teabag in the water in the microwave.

It will be as much tea as any bagged tea be.

I tend to heat my tea water on the stove, and use loose tea in either my 2 cup or 4 cup glass pots.

I went to glass because I have some of those chrysanthemum teas that bloom when you pour the water on them, and I like to watch.

zippyt 01-18-2011 09:31 PM

Bace ball or Basket ball , Im WAAAAAY to much of a Spaz !!

monster 01-18-2011 09:49 PM

you need a tea kettle.

Crysanthemum tea? sacrelidge. (sp) that's not tea. I heard that you weren't supposed to use boiling water for those herbal/floral pseudo teas anyway.

Flint 01-18-2011 10:40 PM

You can't convince me that you exist.

You can't prove that trees don't think.

You can't buttƒuck yourself in the mouth.

SamIam 01-18-2011 11:39 PM

You can't put your cat in the microwave to dry it off.

And, you know, you never have to do that stuff:


What, am I to wake up suddenly and then
enroll at the local college, earn me a degree
and I could work weekends?
If I've worked real hard
I could mow your back yard

I can go to Europe, travel with my friends
I can blow a thousand deutsche marks
to get drunk in a pub with some Australians
Buy a giant backpack
sew a flag on the back

I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
I never want to do that stuff
I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff

I never had to spend a summer planting trees
I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch
doubled over on my hands and knees
I never spent a single day in retail
telling people what they want to hear
telling people anything to make a sale
Eating in the food court
with the old and the bored

I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
I never want to do that stuff
I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff

The worlds your oyster shell
But what's that funny smell
You eat the bivalve anyway
you're sick with salmonella
You get your Ph.D
How happy you will be
When you get a job at Wendy's
And are honored with employee of the month

I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
I never want to do that stuff
I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff

monster 01-19-2011 03:00 PM

you can't find a Prius with a McCain/Palin sticker on it.

Shawnee123 01-19-2011 03:06 PM

You can't read all the bumper stickers on cars/trucks that do have McCain/Palin stickers, because there are too many and you just don't have the time.

monster 01-19-2011 03:19 PM

Srsly? Seems to me here it's the Obamaists who lurve their sloganeering......

monster 01-19-2011 03:19 PM

you cannot... be serious!

Shawnee123 01-19-2011 03:25 PM

I see both, but on my daily commutes there is often a McCain/Palin amongst the stickers that say things like "I killed me a 12 point" and "Spit out your window if you love Jesus" and "My wife is a bitch so I killed her" and "I worship Brooks & Dunn" and "My tattoos express my individuality, just like my bumper stickers" and "What Would Jesus Do" and a confederate flag or three.

monster 01-19-2011 03:32 PM

Here it's coexist, God is a woman and she's pissed, free marjuana, stop war, give blood... play hockey, give peace a chance, more fucking peace, pink goddamn ribbons, shitloads of rainbow stuff, pro-choice, pro-life, my next car will be electric, my other car is electric, my other car is also electric, share the road, share the woad, snails r fun, habitat for humanity...............

monster 01-19-2011 03:34 PM

Oh yeah, I've seen those too: especially in the student parking garage. :lol:

Took me about 3 weeks to figure out what the damn coexist one said.

I'm a bit iffy on any stickers. Adorn your mouth with words, adorn your body with action: stickers and skink are a blathering sheep's way of expression. (disclaimer: not ALL)

What is your exception to that rule? Or was that just so you would not offend your friends with tats?
