FUCK YOU SHALLOTS

MOLLY YOU BETTER LOVE ME EXTRA HARD TODAY THIS PAIN IS FOR YOU
("Hey guys," I said. "I'm thinking of just making Brussels sprouts this year, instead of green bean casserole."
"That's cool," said Megan and Kelly.
"Yeah, that's cool," said Molly, and then made a sadface.
"Wait, what was that?" I asked.
"Nothing," Molly said.
But it was too late, for I had seen the sadface and that meant I was not making Brussels sprouts AND green bean casserole. And the Casserole requires shallots. That was the point of that story.)
Also, while buying pre-chopped mushrooms are super convenient, the slices tend to range from huge to FUCKING GIGANTIC OMG HOW BIG WAS THE WHOLE MUSHROOM WAS IT A MUTANT OR IS THE END OF DAYS COMING??
What that means is that I've stood over my pan for about the last three minutes or so STABINATING THE HELL OUT OF THEM with the sharp edge of my wooden spoon to reduce them into more reasonable chunks. Theraputic!
