I made this for Thanksgiving with the last of the fresh sage from the garden, and it was amazing! So good on the mashed potatoes, and, well, everything really. Thanks for the idea!

It’s so easy to make, I feel Dennis is doing a disservice by calling it a finicky dish. I’ve always said, you make a simple custard base, and if you freeze it you have ice cream, if you add a little spiced rum you have eggnog, and if you bake it and torch some sugar on top you have crème brûlée.

I bet the cranberry grilled cheese would be good. I saw a TV show years ago where they were making grilled cheese from randomly selected breads, cheeses, and jellies/jams. Just about every combo was tasty. I’ve found cheddar and raspberry jam on wheat to be excellent.

When I was in high school, every day on the way to school we’d pass a house with a white ‘63 Ford Falcon parked in the driveway. For several years, that was the car I wanted. It had to be a ‘63. After that the design became more angular.

If I didn’t wear a belt on my hat, it would fall down around my ears! 

I just recently re-read his Eon trilogy (Eon, Eternity, and Legacy). They’re some of my all-time favorite SF stories.

I guess I’m bored. I read through them all. I don’t know about funniest of all time, but there actually were some pretty funny ones sprinkled in there. Among some that just made me go, “Huh?”

Arabic versions, too, which I think lean a lot more towards cumin and cardamom. I have part of a big bag of it my daughter sent me when she lived in Abu Dhabi that I use mainly with chicken for shawarma, with lamb, etc. I’d have to take a fresh whiff to be sure, but I feel like it wouldn’t go great in a sweet dish.

More cultural appropriation by the Disney machine!

It pairs well with this.

Me, too. His cover is pretty arguably more well-known than the original.

It’s a 1/0 mix of...[operation undefined]

I served on a jury for a murder trial two years ago. I really think there should be something that then exempts you from ever doing it again. It’s a little traumatic hearing all the testimony and looking at crime scene photos and evidence that are real, and not part of some TV show or something.

What an interesting looking car! I really like that color.

I’m willing to be proven wrong if you’ve actually measured those temperatures shown in your diagram. Most of the time there’s not high heat at the bottom, as the coils aren’t actually on very much once the oven is up to temperature. In fact, you’ll find a lot of info online that most ovens are hotter at the top. But…

It’s not expected to be renewed for a season 2, is it?

If you don’t have a convection oven, this just doesn’t seem like an actual problem. In a regular oven, there isn’t really air flow. For the amount of time that you cook a turkey, the heat is going to be a lot more evenly distributed throughout the whole area, I think.

I’m sure she does look good, but as a 50-something myself, the thing that struck me when I saw her on some talk show a couple of years ago (don’t remember which one), was wow can she dance! I’m no expert, but she seemed like an amazingly good dancer on that show.

I think I’ve mentioned it here before on an orange-related post, but my wife and I really like Gold Nugget mandarins, which are also only available when they’re in-season. They’re ugly but delicious!

I don’t actually know the answer to this, and now you’ve made me wonder. What about the fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, and oregano from the garden that I dried myself last month in preparation for Thanksgiving? Is it somewhere in between? I feel like they’re going to be more...potent... than store-bought dried herbs?
