KFC’s honey BBQ sauce is very tasty. You’ve actually been able to get essentially this sandwich with minor variations under different names for several years. It’s a good chicken sandwich.

I know I’m out in the sticks, but I just put in my ZIP code there, and every one of the five restaurants it listed has been closed for at least 2 years.

It was such a treat as a kid when either Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was on TV. Because that was the only way to see them in the dark ages before we even had VCRs!

Ah, thanks! A mystery of life cleared up. I won’t dismiss your post. :)

Okay, seems like a good place to ask this. I have never seen a “Dismiss” option there. Even if I disable ad blocking, there isn’t one. I only see Follow, Flag, and Go to permalink. What am I doing wrong?

Ha! I actually mixed potted meat with butter and used it as a foie gras substitute when I made Beef Wellington. It seemed like a reasonable facsimile, and turned out pretty good.

I’m no expert, but I thought western shirts usually do have snaps.

Surely some of the effects are from the release of endorphins? I mean, I really enjoy the taste of my morning cuppa.

I’m roughly 300 miles south of you, and it’s smoky here, too. I remember a day like this when I lived in Dallas, when we had smoke from Mexican fires. As you said, it looks, and smells, weird.

I’ve told people who complain about Cats being a bad musical that it’s a poem turned into a musical stage play. Honestly I think it helps to think of it that way. Personally, I enjoy Cats. I even kind of enjoyed the weird movie version for its ridiculousness. :D

I regularly eat raspberries at lunch with salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar drizzled on them. I usually also mix in fresh blueberries. It’s delicious! It’s probably not as salty as this, but I bet it has a similar flavor profile. I’m having some today, in fact!

As mentioned, drugs and supplements can have a substantial effect. Vasoconstrictors like caffeine, decongestants, and some migraine medications, will raise your blood pressure. Vasodilators like nitrates, ED medications, and supplements like L-arginine and L-citrulline will lower it. Long-term PPI use for acid reflux c…

Not crazy signs, but I’ve always wondered how many variations there are on icy bridge signs. “Bridge may ice in cold weather”, “Watch for ice on bridge”, etc. It seems a little different in every state.

I tried the Cambell’s Chunky after reading that a while back, and I like it. As another commenter noted, it is a little sweet, but it also has just a little more heat that some other canned chili. I don’t like excessively spicy stuff, and the Chunky is just below the line for me personally. Slightly better…

I can speak from experience. My wife’s parents moved in with us in 2020. Because of their health, they couldn’t really remain on their own. We were able to move a modular access ramp from their old house to ours, which was convenient. As it turned out, my mother-in-law passed just a month later. My father-in-law is…

I bought a Simplehuman kitchen trash can about 20 years ago. I’m a fan, because I got some very good customer service from them once. The can originally had a plastic part in the pedal that broke, and when I contacted them, they sent me a redesigned metal one immediately at no charge. That’s been about 15 years ago,…

Is there not a really big penicillin suppository of some kind?

We did at least last week have a district judge rule that a warrant is required for a cell phone search at the border.

Growing up in the 70's, I immediately thought of rumaki myself. I wasn’t a huge fan of liver as a kid, so when my mom made it, she’s usually also wrap some chunks of potato in bacon and fry those for me. :)

I can eat kimchi, but I don’t especially like the particular flavor it has. It reminds my senses of taste and smell of rotten tomato, so even though it’s fine to eat, my subconscious is telling me it’s spoiled.
