Worried you'll forget to turn the stove off? Lay some paper on it. Then you'll know whether you forgot to turn it off (lemmy.ca)

Lol. The Brit comic Viz, used to have many tips like that.

Out of gum, chew rubber bands with toothpaste.

Fresh out of water chestnuts for a Chinese meal, serve your friends slices of raw potato

Water chestnuts make me so angry it's like I know I'm eating something here but why is there no flavor

Have you tried that completely flavourless fresh Italian mozzarella they pair with tomatoes as an appetizer? Makes me gag; like it's sucking the flavour OUT of my mouth

I have yet to taste any mozzarella cheese that is flavourless, and I have eaten a LOT of mozzarella....

bocconcini is what it is usually called here, which is technically not the type, but shape. But they sell it as no colour and no taste at all. Usually served with tomatoes and a Basil leaf

That pesto spread is going to overpower the mozzarella. Fresh tomato, s&p, mozzarella, fresh basil leaves is all you need

Dang now I feel bad for someone on the internet

Meh, you can hear if the stove is on. Just put your ear on top. If you hear frying noises it is on.

I accidentally left a plastic bag near my stove

I had a window open and suddenly a corner of it landed on the hot spot

It was ghastly
