Pro Life Tip: Never make a recipe for the first time for other people.

Always cook it for yourself at least once (probably more to work out the kinks and seasonings, etc.) I often have to change recipes I find online while wondering if the person who wrote the recipe has zero taste buds. Some put more effort into the long-ass pointless story on how they got the recipe than the recipe itself.

I did that once. Drove to walgreens(literally a couple blocks) later at night cause it was cold and i was lazy. Came out, walked home, went to bed. Got up in the early am for work.... car is gone. 2 mins of panic and then it all came together.

Yeah to be honest I'm a young woman and I agree with this completely. I think to certain people on the outside it looks like my fiance is controlling because he'll occasionally call kind of intensely worried about my whereabouts. The reality is, we both have really weird and inconsistent schedules with our jobs, so if one of us doesn't know where the other is for an extended period of time or we miss our regular check-ins, it's easy to grow concerned (I drive a lot in the northern US for my job and he's a bartender so there is a small element of danger involved). I don't call as often, but I will text randomly when we're apart, and if I don't at least get a text by midnight, I do start to get concerned as well.

We went into panic when my mom's van was gone from our very rural driveway. Total shock.

But we stopped short of calling police when I noticed track marks in the grass.

She hadn't set the parking brake. No idea how it started rolling since the parking pad has no perceptible slope but it just rolled away.

As it passed the house there is more of a hill and it rolled down, barely threading its way between trees that separate our property from our neighbor's. It came to rest, quite stuck, in our neighbor's field.

And that is how we met our neighbor. Fortunately he had a tractor and pulled it out for us.

Barely a scratch on it.
