coats hello!! if you remember im the anon who semi-majorly fucked up at work. that thing went okay, i think i mostly overreacted but your advice was still very useful. it was very helpful to have my worries acknowledged <3
a different, totally and completely unrelated question lol: im thinking about leaving my current job, and while i don't have a different job lined up yet, i do have a date at which i want to leave. would it be best to hand in my resignation letter as required by my contract (e.g. two weeks in advance) or earlier than that (e.g. a month)? are there any hidden pros and cons or does it just boil down to courtesy?
Hi anon! thanks for the update - and I'm so glad it worked out ok! Unfortunately, I can help far less with this question; I've never actually...handed in advanced notice, as it were. My career has been a series of contract work (no notice required) or being made redundant (notice from the company required). That said; in general, giving notice comes down to: 1) (most importantly) the labour laws in your area. Some places, giving extra notice makes you legally protected from being fired until your notice period is up (or at least, fired for bullshit, not like, 'burnt the office down' sort of insta-fire stuff); some places, it paints a target on your back. before you do anything, 100% go find the labour department relevant to you and read up on your rights and protections.
2)how much you trust your boss/company. Not how much you like them, how much you trust them to not fuck you over if you give two extra weeks notice - firing, but also 'here's twenty projects to complete', guilt trips, etc.
3) how much you want to keep any bridges after you leave. If you hate your boss and your job and you don't work in an industry where everyone knows everyone and talks to each other all the time, maybe you can go full mad cunt and cool guy walk away from the bonfire of the bridges when you turn in your two weeks and are like 'see ya suckas'; maybe you want to be like 'wow yeah so sorry to go I just need to [plausible lie/work on myself/great opportunity/whatever] and hand in your two weeks, bridges intact for three years when you need a reference.
I...am not inclined to give your job (any job) any more advanced notice of you leaving than is legally mandated*, but that's because I am a cynical person who feels that, y'know, your job might fuck you but it's never going to love you.
Throwing this one open to the floor though; feel free to weigh in anyone who's actually ....been in industries where giving notice was common.
*exception here for unique circumstances like 'I've got this great new job starting y; here is my notice so we can transition smoothly to the new person in [specific role]/wrap up [specific you project] or whatever'; if you're in this situation you probably know.

Drake Honors Pat Stay Following His Death
Tumblr media
After finding out that one of his favorite rappers had passed away, Drake paid his respects. The battle rapper, whose name is Pat Stay, was allegedly stabbed in the wee hours on Sunday. Reports also say the rapper was at a local bar in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. Later that day, Pat was announced dead at a nearby hospital. The Halifax Regional Police came to the scene around 12:36 am near the 1600th block of Lower Water Street.  Police didn’t know of Pat’s identity. It was his brother who made the sad announcement.   Drake expressed his gratitude for Pat Stay’s influence in the battle rap game through his Instagram Stories.  Attached with a picture of the legendary rapper at his OVO and King of the Dot “Blackout 5″ battle rap event was a short paragraph from the 6 God. “RIP to the Sucka Free Boss @patstay_902, one of my fav rappers ever,” he wrote.  Other musicians also voiced their sorrow about Pat Stay’s death on social media.  The Alchemist said on Twitter,  “‘I can moonwalk with steel toe boots on. Rest in peace, Pat Stay.”  He continues,  “Battle Rap icon and king. If u know me, you know I always thought he was the best. I’m hurt.” Royce da 5’9 paid tribute to the rap star with a picture on Instagram, saying “a GREAT man...Rest Peacefully." Statik Selektah even mirrors this same feeling of remorse. On Twitter, he penned, "That Pat Stay news is horrible. Rest In Peace. He was dope. Stand up dude." Stay's known as one of the greatest rappers out of Canada. His slew of rhymes were so exceptional that he earned the nickname King of the Dot Champion.  Eventually, he went on to retire and utilized his other talents in the boxing ring.  Following his death, Stay's family started a campaign on GoFundMe. The donations from others will help with funeral expenses. It says, "We are setting up this fund to help raise money for our fallen brother’s family. He has been taken from the world far too soon and many will be devastated forever. Pat Stay was a very honorable man who was on his way to a bright future."

Fav game character
Tumblr media
Tina and her parents were sold to Hyperion to become test subjects for Jack's slag mutation experiments, an event which led to the deaths of her parents. She escaped their fate using a grenade that she had hidden in her dress at her mother's insistence, and once she was free of Hyperion's reach she vowed revenge on the man that had sold her family: Flesh-Stick.
Involvement
Borderlands 2
Tiny Tina's demolitions expertise is called into action when a Hyperion supply train believed to be carrying a Vault key needs to be stopped. With that objective in sight, she then sets the Vault Hunters to the task of finding two rockets (which she refers to as 'badonkadonks') to carry a 'suicide'-bomber toy each, and then to set them on target.
Her collaboration with the Vault Hunters continues when she has them gather items and guests for a very special tea party. During the final mission Tina will contact the Vault Hunters and wish them luck in stopping Hyperion and even reads them a poem repeatedly telling the Vault Hunters to 'kill Jack'.
Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage
Tina appears in a supporting role in Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage. Initially she is hired by Mad Moxxi to help the Vault Hunters train prior to battling Motor Momma, but also asks their assistance in obtaining the autograph of her third favorite mass-murderer, Sully the Stabber, as well as walking her "puppy", a Badass Fire Skag named Enrique. She also provides commentary on many of the Vault Hunters' actions throughout the course of the DLC.
Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
Tina takes on the role of the 'Bunker Master' for the game 'Bunkers & Badasses', where she is shown to be bad at this, by fumbling in such ways as creating impossible fights early on and not balancing the gameplay in certain areas. The real problems underlying Tina's mental state (at that time) start becoming more apparent as the player progresses, being obsessed with eating only crumpets and constantly trying to insert a manifestation of the now deceased Roland whenever she wants to, to the dismay of the other Vault Hunters. Tiny Tina's character develops over the course of the campaign and she learns to accept Roland's death.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Tina makes her first appearance during the game while Lilith was interrogating Athena, inviting the Vault Hunters to play another round of Bunkers and Badasses, but was turned down. Later, after Athena finishes telling her story, Tina introduces herself and requests Athena to tell a story about fighting a raid boss. As she had no idea what a raid boss was, she "came up" with a story about fighting one (in this case, the raid boss being an enhanced version of The Sentinel). After that, Tina requests Athena to tell the story of her working for Handsome Jack again.
Borderlands 3
At the time of Borderlands 3, Tina is presumed to be around 20 years old. She is still part of the Crimson Raiders B-Team along with Brick and Mordecai. The team is hired by Wainwright Jakobs to rescue his partner Sir Hammerlock, but after they fail to report back on their progress, Jakobs requests the Vault Hunter to go The Anvil to investigate setting up the story mission Hammerlocked. Tina's code name during the mission is 'Crunk Bunny'. Tina requests 'ingredients' for her 'Pizza' (bomb), composed of 'sauce' (nitroglycerin), 'onions' (wires) and 'ham' (a detonator). She then asks the Vault Hunter to deliver the pizza, which is to blow up the door to the structure where Hammerlock is being held. After successfully rescuing Hammerlock, she declares that the B-team's work is done and they leave Eden-6. Tina is found later on Devil's Razor back on Pandora, where she or Brick will give the mission Boom Boom Boomtown. She asks the Vault Hunter for help in winning back their new home and base of operations, recently named by Tina as "Boom Town", by fighting off COV that have been sneaking in thru a tunnel that Brick is keeping the COV locked inside.

Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary
While idle
Some of the idle chats are mission related and can't be heard again once the mission in question is completed.
"You come up in my face, and you DON'T GOT BOMB PARTS, you KNOW I'm throwing hands."
"Oh, hello! I didn't see you there. I was just on an important mission to save my friends and AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THE SAME THING?!"

"Yo yo yo. You kill that vineyman up on vineyville yet?"
"I left some reeaaal sexy bombs back on Sanctuary. Oh, just thinkin' bout 'em... come on, think about 'em with me. Yeeeeeah. Together now. Hohhhhh."
"That. Was. The BIGGESTEST BOOM OF ALL TIME! Gotta give it to Lilly-of-the-valley, she knows how to kill a baddo in style."
"Seriously, though. Vaulty-Vault, you was there for me in the dark times. That's fo' life."
"So, just saying, it's probably my birthday, and you ain't got me nothing. Mini-moonshot cannon. Just wanna put that in your head."
Notes
The photo of Tina and Roland
She is introduced as an old friend of Roland's and she has a picture of them together in her room. Roland also mentions beforehand that, "I've saved her life a few times, and she has saved mine more times than I can count."
In Borderlands 2, there are a few unique weapons that are associated with Tiny Tina. These weapons include pink hearted camouflage and/or stuffed bunny image decals.
Teapot
Cobra
Boom Puppy
Tina's voice is performed by Ashly Burch, sister of Anthony Burch - lead writer of Borderlands 2. (The two are also a part of the web series Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'?.) She is also credited with the voice of the cursed gun, Bane.
Tina has unusual gender-specific dialogue, referring to both male and female Vault Hunters as "girl". She also makes a number of sexual comments in an appreciative manner in regards the female members of her tea party, whilst during the Assault on Dragon Keep storyline she confesses to liking Maya in The Siren's invitation, asking if Maya likes her in turn. Additionally, her original motivation for helping the Vault Hunters train for Mad Moxxi was going to be due to her having a crush on Mad Moxxi.
Tina switches verbal mannerisms frequently. Her speech styles include a stereotypical inner-city American speech pattern, little girl speech patterns, stereotypically pretentious British English speech, to randomly violent and murderous speech, and others.
Trivia
There is an Easter egg related to Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'? in the Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage. On the back of Tiny Tina's bus is a pixel drawing of Papa Burch riding a unicorn from the HAWP episode 'Sleep Is Death'.
Roland recognizes her as one of the greatest demolitions experts on Pandora and a picture of the two can be seen inside of her home.
Tiny Tina is mentioned by Brick on a mission in Sawtooth Cauldron as he recalls carrying her on his shoulders as they fought together. In the end credits, it is shown that they worked together again in this manner cleaning out the remaining Hyperion forces.
ExotropiaTina has an intermittent exotropia (lazy eye) in her left eye. This was originally due to a glitch, but the developers enjoyed it, so they purposefully left it in. This has also passed on to Borderlands 3, as her left eye will occasionally twitch while talking.
In NowGamer, an interview revealed that there is part of a mission removed from the main game involving Tina. Originally, when telling of Roland's death, the players were to head out to Tiny Tina's home and tell her the sad news. It described her being deeply affected by it, thanking the players for telling her, asking them to leave, and locking herself in her workshop to mourn. Anthony Burch, lead writer and the source of this news, says they regret they could not include this scene into the game. It was supposed to be the only moment in the game she loses her peppy mania [1].
Her tea party place card is labeled "Lady Tina of Blowupyourfaceheim"
On May 24, 2013, Tina took over the @ECHOcasts Twitter (previously owned by Krieg).
Tiny Tina's parents have officially been confirmed dead as of the sixth episode of Inside the Box, entitled "Fart Jokes and Tragedy".
In the Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary DLC, Tiny Tina, Mordecai and Brick form a team simply named "The B-Team".
Tiny Tina refers to Brick as "Brick-papa" and Mordecai as "Mordy-mom". This is further mentioned when Brick says "Don't talk like that to your mom." to Tina.
It is revealed in Sheega's All That that Sheega is an ex-girlfriend of Tiny Tina.
ECHO logs in Devil's Razor reveal that Tiny Tina has dated multiple individuals, broke up with all of them, and staged a wedding to make money from the wedding gifts sent by her exes.

Who’s to Blame?
Who’s to blame? Oh, that’s right. You have no idea what I’m talking about. What I mean is, who is to blame for your life? All of it. Everything that happens in it, and not just a few problems or accomplishments. Who is to blame for all of it? Wait. Don’t answer that just yet. I want to set up a few scenarios and see what you think.
You are on your way to work. Driving through your usual route at 8AM. As far as you are concerned, you are a pretty decent driver. You can drive a bit above the speed limit and still handle the road safely, as you normally do. Slow drivers usually annoy you. Oblivious drivers annoy you. Heavy breakers annoy you. People not using their blinkers annoy you. I mean, they annoy me. So anyway, you’re driving to work, weaving in and out of the slow pokes, drinking your fresh cup of joe, feeling sexy in your nice work clothes, with your combed hair, your fresh deodorant, and your new cologne. Unfortunately, the car next to you has a driver who is clearly texting, and while staring at their phone, they stop paying enough attention to the road and swerve toward you. You, being the pretty decent driver you are, see this coming and avoid it, saving you and all the other red blooded hard working Americans on the road. Congrats. You’re a hero. But, as good as you are at driving, I guess you’re just not as good at keeping the coffee in your cup when you swerve out of the way of an asshole driver. I’m saying you spilt coffee on your sexy outfit there, bud, and now you’re pissed. You don’t have a change of clothes and you have shit to do at work that involves standing in front of people. You proceed to be pissed off for a while and don’t quite get your head right the rest of the morning. Your vibe is thrown off and you’re just not being your best self. Who’s to blame you?
You’re a young woman, around the age of 27. Recently, you think you have found a crazy passion in restaurants, but to be more specific, eating at restaurants. Everything about them. You love learning about the cuisines. You love hearing about the ingredients. You love tasting something new everyday, but don’t worry, you never over indulge. Not only do you love doing these things and more, but you love talking about it, writing about it, vlogging about it, blogging about it, etc etc etc, or at least you would love it. To put it simply, you could spend your whole day doing all that crap and you would be a happy little princess doing it. But thats not what you do. You are a nurse. Nothing to do with the food business. You actually have a decent nursing job now that pays your bills. It’s OK and you are OK with it. Unfortunately that has nothing to do with this new found passion of yours. You tell a few friends about your new love and they say they think it’s cute, but after a minute of entertaining the idea with you, their interests dwindles away and they change the subject. Mom and dad aren’t really for it either, seeing as how to them eating out is a delight that maybe happens once a week, plus it’s def not something you can spend time doing for work, right? Deep down you know this is your true passion and your heart longs for it, but eating out everyday is too expensive and you’re not actually completely unhappy nursing, you’re just OK with it. Who’s to blame you?
You want to lose weight and get back into shape, but it is the holidays. You are visiting home and mom makes the best cookies. You tell yourself you will start your fitness and nutrition program after new years giving yourself some fresh motivation and a news years resolution on top of it. So you enjoy yourself. Who’s to blame you?
You want to get a raise at work, but your boss won’t seem to give you the time of day. You keep waiting for the right time to get his attention, but it doesn’t seem to present itself. You are ready for the moment, but because it does not clearly come you do not get to prove yourself, and therefore have not yet gotten a raise. Who’s to blame you?
You have to stay up late finishing some work. The next day you wake up and you are exhausted. Your day is dull and you just go through the motions at work because you can do it blind folded anyway. You just want to get out of there, go home, watch some tv, and then get some sleep.  Who is to blame you?
You get first place in your home towns 5k. Who’s to blame you?
If you haven’t already caught on by now, there is only one answer despite the scenario. If it is your life, it is your fault. If you stay upset because something as meaningless and some hot liquid got on some sewn threads you wear on over your body, which you have about 10-12 of in your closet, it is your own fault and you are to blame. Anger, happiness, they are both emotions and we are in control of them. It is your responsibility to master your body. It is your responsibility to be able to fine tune your attitude to what you need and want it to be. 
You are a 27 year old girl who wants to give her passion some more attention but won’t because no one in your circle gives a shit about it? Who cares. It is your life and therefore your responsibility to do what you know will make you happy. You don’t have to freaking quit your nursing career, and yes, I did imply that ya sucka, but of course you don’t have to. Start doing your thing as a side gig. If you are great at it, which I am sure you will be, then it will grow and one day, if you want to, you will be able to quit and do it full time. This goes for anything that you are passionate about.
You want to lose weight and get back into shape. It is your responsibility and no one else’s to do so. How bad do you want it? Obviously not that bad it you can’t pass up some cookies that you can literally have your mom make you at any point in time. Put down the freaking snickerdoodle and hop on that treadmill.
Your boss won’t take time out of his day to give you special attention so you can give you? Aww. Poor baby. Put your head down, work your ass off, go above and beyond your duties, and you wont have to wait for him to fit you in at the right moment because he will come to you. It is your responsibility to make the moments you want to happen come to life.  So stop crying and start working.
You have to stay up late to do work for a job that you go to with no energy or excitement? That is your own fault for taking the job you don’t like in the first place. It is your responsibility to enjoy your day and to live the life you want. If you do not enjoy your job, take any free time you have to find one you do, because when you are doing what you love, it does not matter how tired you are, you will never just go through the motions again.
You won a 5k.....congrats. That’s actually pretty cool.
It does not matter the scenario, if it is your life, you are to blame. It is your responsibility to make the life you want. It is your responsibility to make yourself happy. It is your responsibility to find your dreams and follow through with your goals. We all need to take responsibility for our lives. When we do, we will have no more excuses, and we will start living the lives we have always wanted. Become better, and take some responsibility.

How to Cook Spaghetti Squash
I LOVE spaghetti. 
Growing up, I would get made fun of by my family for how much of it I would eat (seriously, two or three massive platefuls in one sitting).
Not enough of a visual?
How about this: as a toddler, I’d run into the dining room struggling to rip my shirt over my oversized head so that I could eat my spaghetti as fast as possible without getting sauce on my clothes.  After dinner my parents would have to practically hose me down in the backyard I was so messy – totally worth it.
Now, in my quest for a healthier lifestyle over the past few years, I’ve learned that…gasp…gallons of pasta at each meal isn’t the healthiest thing in the world!  So, I’ve cut back drastically on my pasta intake – I probably eat pasta once every few months now, when I’m out at an Italian restaurant with friends and feel like letting go for a meal.
If you are a paleo person but love pasta, I feel ya.  This could help.
Maybe you’re not paleo, but you’re looking for an alternative to carb-heavy pasta.  This will help you too.
Today, you’re gonna learn how to cook Paleo Pasta.  Now, this recipe takes a little longer and is a little bit more complex than the easy Chicken Stirfry I taught you how to cook before.
If that was level 1, this is level 2.
Yeah, eating a small portion of regular spaghetti every now and then ain’t gonna kill ya, but I found preparing paleo spaghetti and meat sauce to be a fun challenge, it took me out of my comfort zone in the kitchen by making me do new things, and actually turned out to be freaking delicious and nutritious.
Let’s level up your cooking.
WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY POST!
Ingredients
1lb. of Grass-fed Ground Beef (my grocery store didn’t have grass-fed, so I went with regular)
1 Onion
2 Tomatoes
2 Small Cans of Organic Tomato Paste (check the ingredients – it should only contain organic tomatoes…though look for JARRED tomato paste or make your own.)
1 Garlic Clove (it’s the small part that you’re breaking off a garlic bulb. i’ll explain more later).
Pepper…and salt if you want some.
Italian Seasoning (it’ll be in the spices aisle – pick the one that’s labeled “ITALIAN SEASONING.”  To be sure, open and smell – if it smells like ITALIAN SEASONING, you’re on the right track.  If you can’t find it at this point, you should probably just sit down and give up).
1 Medium Spaghetti Squash – will make enough for two people.
Olive Oil – I like extra virgin olive oil.
Supplies
1 Iron Skillet/Pan
1 Medium Sized Pot
1 Cookie sheet
1 Sharp Knife
1 Spatula
1 Cutting Board
Tin Foil
Oven and Stove
If you’re like me (a nerd who generally stays away from the kitchen), half the stuff on the grocery list will be new to you.  I can certainly say I’ve never purchased a spaghetti squash before.  Honestly though, I found it fun to go exploring in new parts of the grocery store and track down these items.  Just keep the ingredient list with you, ask people for help if you need it, and pretend like you’re a contestant on Super Market Sweep (not that I do that…every time I’m in a store….).
Preparing YOUR SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Start by pre-heating your oven to 400 degrees.  This will take a while to get warm so it gives you time to chop up your veggies and so on.
Chop your onion in half, and then peel off the outside layer – we only need half of it.  Put the other half in a plastic bag and stick it in your fridge.
After that, start slicing and dicing like a mofo until the onion is all chopped up.  Yeah, you might cry – suck it up.  If you have a food processor or a Slap Chop (you lucky bastard), this will be way easier.  I don’t have either of those, so I did it the old school way.
Next, rip off a clove of garlic – we only need a little bit of it.  Hang the rest of the garlic bulb around your neck to ward off vampires.
Take that little section, break it apart, and then carefully chop off the tiny ends of each section.  Then, use the side of your knife to smush it by pressing down hard on the side of your knife.  Peel off the outer layer, and then chop up the inside of it as small as you can without chopping off any fingers. That would result in a lot of blood, and the vampires won’t care about your garlic necklace, and you’re gonna have a bad time.  If you don’t feel like buying/chopping garlic, you can use garlic powder to add to the meat later, though it’s not nearly as fun.
Grab your two tomatoes (not a euphemism).  No seriously though, grab those two tomatoes.  Use your knife to carefully carve out the top part of it…
Then cut them in half, then chop them up into smaller pieces.  Depending on how you like your spaghetti sauce, cut them to your desired size – bigger chunks in your sauce or no?  The choice is yours, sucka.
Next, take your spaghetti squash, and use your knife to cut it in half.  Because the middle is kind of hollow and full of gooey stuff (like a pumpkin), I found it easiest to cut into the side of the squash, and then work the knife around it the long way.  Watch this video for a good demonstration.  JUST BE CAREFUL.
Use a spoon and scrape out all of the middle junk in the squash.  Yup, it’s kind of gross. Get over it.
Take your hollowed out squash, and drizzle the insides with olive oil, pepper, and tiny bit of salt. 
Give them a minute or two to sit and soak in the oil, and then put them face down on the cookie sheet, and stick them in the oven (which is now at 400 degrees) for 40 minutes.
Making the Sauce
While the spaghetti squash is cooking in the oven, put your skillet on the stove, add a little bit of olive oil, and drop in your diced onions.  After a few minutes, they’ll start to take on a clear/yellowish color as they sizzle and cook.
Now it’s time to add the garlic, and mix that around for a minute or two…
And then add the beef!
Using your spatula, chop up the beef and mix it up with the onions and garlic.
Now, make it rain with your Italian seasoning and pepper.  And by that I mean “sprinkle it liberally.”
Continue stirring and chopping and mixing like a boss until the meat is a nice brown color.
When the meat is done cooking, take the pan off the stove, and place it on one of the other not-hot burners…
OR, you can strain the beef and get rid of the grease.  I chose to strain our meal for the evening.  Use a strainer, collect the grease in a bowl, and then when the grease cools down, dump it into a coffee canister or other container that you can keep in the freezer and then eventually dispose of properly.  Google “how to get rid of grease” if you need help here.
Combining the sauce AND THE SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Now, while your meat is cooking, take your empty pot, open up your two cans of tomato paste, and use a knife to scoop them out and pour in.  Then add your tomatoes.
Put the pot on low heat.  Around now, your meat should be cooked. 
Then dump in the meat, onions, and garlic into the pot and mix it all up.  If your sauce isn’t saucy enough, take your empty tomato paste can and dump in a can-sized amount of water (do one and see how the sauce looks, and then add a second if necessary).  At this point, feel free to add some more Italian seasoning and pepper.
You can leave the pot on really low heat and cover it up, while you’re finishing up everything else. Just stir it every so often so the bottom doesn’t burn.
Putting it all together
Pull your squash out of the oven after the 40 minutes is up, and using a pot holder and a knife/fork, flip the two halves over over.
Having two plates ready, use a fork to pull apart the inside of the squash…it’ll come apart very easily and look like spaghetti. 
Hollow out one, put it on a plate.  Hollow out the other, put it on the other plate.
This is the point where you say “OHHHH SO THAT’S WHY ITS CALLED SPAGHETTI SQUASH!”
Add your sauce on top, and BAM you have your home cooked, paleo spaghetti meal.  Finish off with a glass of water, red wine (not technically paleo I guess but hey, live a little), or some Drain-O and you’re good to go.
I’m kidding. please don’t drink Drain-O.
Any questions?
The dinner table is set.  Flower in empty wine bottle and Shadow of the Colossus on PS3 are optional.
I honestly had WAY more fun cooking this than was expected.  (thanks Jessie for helping me out and making sure I didn’t chop off any appendages).
If you’re struggling to come up with a fun date idea…nothing goes over better than cooking a meal together – and I think the total cost of the ingredients was around $15.  This meal made full servings for two people with enough sauce left over for two or three more servings.
If you don’t have anybody else to cook for, no worries!  This meal will make plenty of food for you to have for dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow, and beyond.  Plus, you can eat your spaghetti WHILE playing Shadow of the Colossus and nobody will yell at you.
I’m thinking of doing some more “how to cook easy meals” post here on NF real soon, coming from the perspective of a newbie in the kitchen.  They probably won’t all be paleo/primal, but they’ll be healthy and super easy to cook.
Is that something you’d be interested in every few weeks?  If I do, anything else you’d like to see in the posts?
Any thoughts, comments, or questions?
Let’s hear it!

Drake Honors Pat Stay Following His Death
Tumblr media
After finding out that one of his favorite rappers had passed away, Drake paid his respects. The battle rapper, whose name is Pat Stay, was allegedly stabbed in the wee hours on Sunday. Reports also say the rapper was at a local bar in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. Later that day, Pat was announced dead at a nearby hospital. The Halifax Regional Police came to the scene around 12:36 am near the 1600th block of Lower Water Street.  Police didn’t know of Pat’s identity. It was his brother who made the sad announcement.   Drake expressed his gratitude for Pat Stay’s influence in the battle rap game through his Instagram Stories.  Attached with a picture of the legendary rapper at his OVO and King of the Dot “Blackout 5″ battle rap event was a short paragraph from the 6 God. “RIP to the Sucka Free Boss @patstay_902, one of my fav rappers ever,” he wrote.  Other musicians also voiced their sorrow about Pat Stay’s death on social media.  The Alchemist said on Twitter,  “‘I can moonwalk with steel toe boots on. Rest in peace, Pat Stay.”  He continues,  “Battle Rap icon and king. If u know me, you know I always thought he was the best. I’m hurt.” Royce da 5’9 paid tribute to the rap star with a picture on Instagram, saying “a GREAT man...Rest Peacefully." Statik Selektah even mirrors this same feeling of remorse. On Twitter, he penned, "That Pat Stay news is horrible. Rest In Peace. He was dope. Stand up dude." Stay's known as one of the greatest rappers out of Canada. His slew of rhymes were so exceptional that he earned the nickname King of the Dot Champion.  Eventually, he went on to retire and utilized his other talents in the boxing ring.  Following his death, Stay's family started a campaign on GoFundMe. The donations from others will help with funeral expenses. It says, "We are setting up this fund to help raise money for our fallen brother’s family. He has been taken from the world far too soon and many will be devastated forever. Pat Stay was a very honorable man who was on his way to a bright future."

How to Cook Spaghetti Squash
I LOVE spaghetti. 
Growing up, I would get made fun of by my family for how much of it I would eat (seriously, two or three massive platefuls in one sitting).
Not enough of a visual?
How about this: as a toddler, I’d run into the dining room struggling to rip my shirt over my oversized head so that I could eat my spaghetti as fast as possible without getting sauce on my clothes.  After dinner my parents would have to practically hose me down in the backyard I was so messy – totally worth it.
Now, in my quest for a healthier lifestyle over the past few years, I’ve learned that…gasp…gallons of pasta at each meal isn’t the healthiest thing in the world!  So, I’ve cut back drastically on my pasta intake – I probably eat pasta once every few months now, when I’m out at an Italian restaurant with friends and feel like letting go for a meal.
If you are a paleo person but love pasta, I feel ya.  This could help.
Maybe you’re not paleo, but you’re looking for an alternative to carb-heavy pasta.  This will help you too.
Today, you’re gonna learn how to cook Paleo Pasta.  Now, this recipe takes a little longer and is a little bit more complex than the easy Chicken Stirfry I taught you how to cook before.
If that was level 1, this is level 2.
Yeah, eating a small portion of regular spaghetti every now and then ain’t gonna kill ya, but I found preparing paleo spaghetti and meat sauce to be a fun challenge, it took me out of my comfort zone in the kitchen by making me do new things, and actually turned out to be freaking delicious and nutritious.
Let’s level up your cooking.
WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY POST!
Ingredients
1lb. of Grass-fed Ground Beef (my grocery store didn’t have grass-fed, so I went with regular)
1 Onion
2 Tomatoes
2 Small Cans of Organic Tomato Paste (check the ingredients – it should only contain organic tomatoes…though look for JARRED tomato paste or make your own.)
1 Garlic Clove (it’s the small part that you’re breaking off a garlic bulb. i’ll explain more later).
Pepper…and salt if you want some.
Italian Seasoning (it’ll be in the spices aisle – pick the one that’s labeled “ITALIAN SEASONING.”  To be sure, open and smell – if it smells like ITALIAN SEASONING, you’re on the right track.  If you can’t find it at this point, you should probably just sit down and give up).
1 Medium Spaghetti Squash – will make enough for two people.
Olive Oil – I like extra virgin olive oil.
Supplies
1 Iron Skillet/Pan
1 Medium Sized Pot
1 Cookie sheet
1 Sharp Knife
1 Spatula
1 Cutting Board
Tin Foil
Oven and Stove
If you’re like me (a nerd who generally stays away from the kitchen), half the stuff on the grocery list will be new to you.  I can certainly say I’ve never purchased a spaghetti squash before.  Honestly though, I found it fun to go exploring in new parts of the grocery store and track down these items.  Just keep the ingredient list with you, ask people for help if you need it, and pretend like you’re a contestant on Super Market Sweep (not that I do that…every time I’m in a store….).
Preparing YOUR SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Start by pre-heating your oven to 400 degrees.  This will take a while to get warm so it gives you time to chop up your veggies and so on.
Chop your onion in half, and then peel off the outside layer – we only need half of it.  Put the other half in a plastic bag and stick it in your fridge.
After that, start slicing and dicing like a mofo until the onion is all chopped up.  Yeah, you might cry – suck it up.  If you have a food processor or a Slap Chop (you lucky bastard), this will be way easier.  I don’t have either of those, so I did it the old school way.
Next, rip off a clove of garlic – we only need a little bit of it.  Hang the rest of the garlic bulb around your neck to ward off vampires.
Take that little section, break it apart, and then carefully chop off the tiny ends of each section.  Then, use the side of your knife to smush it by pressing down hard on the side of your knife.  Peel off the outer layer, and then chop up the inside of it as small as you can without chopping off any fingers. That would result in a lot of blood, and the vampires won’t care about your garlic necklace, and you’re gonna have a bad time.  If you don’t feel like buying/chopping garlic, you can use garlic powder to add to the meat later, though it’s not nearly as fun.
Grab your two tomatoes (not a euphemism).  No seriously though, grab those two tomatoes.  Use your knife to carefully carve out the top part of it…
Then cut them in half, then chop them up into smaller pieces.  Depending on how you like your spaghetti sauce, cut them to your desired size – bigger chunks in your sauce or no?  The choice is yours, sucka.
Next, take your spaghetti squash, and use your knife to cut it in half.  Because the middle is kind of hollow and full of gooey stuff (like a pumpkin), I found it easiest to cut into the side of the squash, and then work the knife around it the long way.  Watch this video for a good demonstration.  JUST BE CAREFUL.
Use a spoon and scrape out all of the middle junk in the squash.  Yup, it’s kind of gross. Get over it.
Take your hollowed out squash, and drizzle the insides with olive oil, pepper, and tiny bit of salt. 
Give them a minute or two to sit and soak in the oil, and then put them face down on the cookie sheet, and stick them in the oven (which is now at 400 degrees) for 40 minutes.
Making the Sauce
While the spaghetti squash is cooking in the oven, put your skillet on the stove, add a little bit of olive oil, and drop in your diced onions.  After a few minutes, they’ll start to take on a clear/yellowish color as they sizzle and cook.
Now it’s time to add the garlic, and mix that around for a minute or two…
And then add the beef!
Using your spatula, chop up the beef and mix it up with the onions and garlic.
Now, make it rain with your Italian seasoning and pepper.  And by that I mean “sprinkle it liberally.”
Continue stirring and chopping and mixing like a boss until the meat is a nice brown color.
When the meat is done cooking, take the pan off the stove, and place it on one of the other not-hot burners…
OR, you can strain the beef and get rid of the grease.  I chose to strain our meal for the evening.  Use a strainer, collect the grease in a bowl, and then when the grease cools down, dump it into a coffee canister or other container that you can keep in the freezer and then eventually dispose of properly.  Google “how to get rid of grease” if you need help here.
Combining the sauce AND THE SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Now, while your meat is cooking, take your empty pot, open up your two cans of tomato paste, and use a knife to scoop them out and pour in.  Then add your tomatoes.
Put the pot on low heat.  Around now, your meat should be cooked. 
Then dump in the meat, onions, and garlic into the pot and mix it all up.  If your sauce isn’t saucy enough, take your empty tomato paste can and dump in a can-sized amount of water (do one and see how the sauce looks, and then add a second if necessary).  At this point, feel free to add some more Italian seasoning and pepper.
You can leave the pot on really low heat and cover it up, while you’re finishing up everything else. Just stir it every so often so the bottom doesn’t burn.
Putting it all together
Pull your squash out of the oven after the 40 minutes is up, and using a pot holder and a knife/fork, flip the two halves over over.
Having two plates ready, use a fork to pull apart the inside of the squash…it’ll come apart very easily and look like spaghetti. 
Hollow out one, put it on a plate.  Hollow out the other, put it on the other plate.
This is the point where you say “OHHHH SO THAT’S WHY ITS CALLED SPAGHETTI SQUASH!”
Add your sauce on top, and BAM you have your home cooked, paleo spaghetti meal.  Finish off with a glass of water, red wine (not technically paleo I guess but hey, live a little), or some Drain-O and you’re good to go.
I’m kidding. please don’t drink Drain-O.
Any questions?
The dinner table is set.  Flower in empty wine bottle and Shadow of the Colossus on PS3 are optional.
I honestly had WAY more fun cooking this than was expected.  (thanks Jessie for helping me out and making sure I didn’t chop off any appendages).
If you’re struggling to come up with a fun date idea…nothing goes over better than cooking a meal together – and I think the total cost of the ingredients was around $15.  This meal made full servings for two people with enough sauce left over for two or three more servings.
If you don’t have anybody else to cook for, no worries!  This meal will make plenty of food for you to have for dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow, and beyond.  Plus, you can eat your spaghetti WHILE playing Shadow of the Colossus and nobody will yell at you.
I’m thinking of doing some more “how to cook easy meals” post here on NF real soon, coming from the perspective of a newbie in the kitchen.  They probably won’t all be paleo/primal, but they’ll be healthy and super easy to cook.
Is that something you’d be interested in every few weeks?  If I do, anything else you’d like to see in the posts?
Any thoughts, comments, or questions?
Let’s hear it!
