Okay, except for that exception, that's a great idea. Actually I had 2 hot dogs left that went grey/green on me, and I seal them up in ziplocks. WTF? Still, it would help me get more proactive about using stuff. It'd be nice if UPC codes contained an exp. date (assuming they don't) Then you could just scan it and boom, it's in. I probably shouldn't be writing this out loud, although it's quite probable there's alreayd an app out there for that, though this one might have better ideas. You guys promise to give me royalties if you use this, ok? Thanks.

There’s already at least 1 app that lets you track the expiration dates of your food. It’s just not named Spoiler Alert.

I know smart fridges are considered an extravagant novelty at this point, but toss in a scanner that you could just swipe your food across to inventory before you put it away and manually enter an expiration date if needed would be stellar. Toss in a web connection that would aggregate recipes based on what you have in your kitchen would be THE BEST. This will happen at some point. One will probably involve an iPad dock…which will also cloud sync to your computer and idevices to create grocery shopping lists. 8O


You could also use something similar to track your meth lab needs. And we're back. :x

If the websites that already exist have an api a recipe aggregator would be pretty easy to make, right? I've already used a couple sites a few times and just needed to get a couple staples from the local grocer and bam I'm a cultured chef.

Excellent

I use the Paprika app for recipes on my idevices and Mac. It has a built in browser and can automagically extract and separate ingredients, prepping and cooking steps, time estimates, and pictures from most popular recipe sites and then converts them to its own format for you to save. When you create shopping lists it also assigns ingredients to the store isle you would most likely find them on and if you have multiple recipes using the same ingredient it automatically totals them into one item, so instead of having 3 separate items that say 1 onion, 1 onion, and 2 onions it just says 4 onions. It’s all very :) 8O

I don't deserve this knowledge. I'm not a good enough person to know such things.

Last weeks episode where Mike has to eliminate the hitman = STELLAR.

Quite possibly the best of the series.

Yeah, nice of Walt sharing Skyler’s affair as a reason for her mental breakdown with her sister.

Skyler had the upper hand last season and now it’s totally flipped to Walt.

Can anyone explain to me what he was talking about when he mentioned dude getting his throat slashed? I remember that part but not the guy or remember why and what relevance it had.

Well because Gus decided: "Im going to cut this mans throat and make you destroy the evidence in acid... because I can bitch. Dont fuck with me."

I think it's a hint that Walt is becoming Gus, at least in thought process.

Ok, now I can't remember the context he used it in the last episode :|

But stated above is fine. I really like that Mike said

"Just because you killed Jesse James..."

I still stand by hoping Mike is the victor. Wifey's going to have some protector instincts kick in at some point, and everybody is well aware of how wack Walt is getting. Unless he's planning or planned EVERYTHING for the whole season and we don't know until the end, I don't think it's going to be pretty for him. He shouldn't win for the sake of breaking the cliche. He's brought nothing but misery to everyone around him and he simply does not care. Not saying justice will win in the end; life isn't like that, but this is tv. I hope he becomes everyone's bitch, actually.

I was digging the latina chick too.

I think you're right - my take was he was putting himself in Gus' position and Mike in Victor's. It was the way he said Victor got his throat cut for taking liberties by cooking a batch when Walt and Jesse were refusing to work. Now Mike is taking liberties in taking a cut of his cash to pay off Mike's people.

There's no way Walt would be that friendly with Jesse without being up to something. I can see some fucked up shit happening soon! And I really don't think this can or should end up with a happy ending for Walt.

Shit, I shouldn't have used the word Victor, I meant as the winner, not the guy!
