There is a way to praise small cities for their culinary achievements, and it’s to start with an assumption they have them.

A few pounds??? Damn.  That’s some good eatin’.

Camping trip in Arizona’s Apache National Forest. Gorgeous scenery with fantastic views - I highly recommend it.

The only pertinent left media outlet is...Jacobin?

Redaction of the full report was ongoing at the time Mueller sent the letter, so he had no basis to make that complaint in writing. I’m sure as hell making it, though.

Holy flippin’ crap, that’s an ascent right there. We don’t have truck ramps that big where I live - generally 1 to 2 trucklengths long, tops.

Labeling Republican politicians corrupt is a whole other thing from labeling Republican voters deplorable.

can Barr really be considered to be hiding anything when the entire report is public for anyone to take the time to read themselves...?

About the only pertinent left media outlet you didn’t link to in here has a great rundown (or two) on the structural obstacles the two party system has put in place to prevent any other party from ever rising to compete within the system, ever again:

I mean, I prefer my Thanksgiving dinner roasted in an oven, but you do you.

Vicious circle.

There’s a hell of a lot of heated, self-righteous rhetoric around that, but police officer isn’t even in the top fifteen deadliest jobs in the United States. And even if you narrow that down to being shot in the line of duty, maybe you can repurpose that fucking stupid thin yellow line flag (“loss prevention” smdh) in…

Ya know, I was just thinking that what this dish needs to finish it off is a touch of super-thin sliced red onion...

Sounds fantastic. Personal preference - I might need to include a splash or two of rice vinegar, especially if I’m including that half-tsp of sugar. Not enough to really acidify it, just a tiny bit to brighten the dark flavors and allow them to sing bass instead of groan subsonically (if that makes even a tiny bit of…

This is the most difficult one you guys have done. Instead of picking who got more of my most favorites, I’m reduced to counting “how many of those could I live without if I got kidnapped to a desert island or ejected into space or something?” Allison takes it by a hair over Kevin, but only because I can’t stand raw…

My wife and I snuck a bomber each (Sierra Nevada iirc) into Up. Fortunately we took longer than the heartwrenching opening sequence to finish them off. Unfortunately it was still a fairly quiet part when I knocked her empty bottle over.

Hey now...

That Gondor thing is phenomenal.  Gotta look through the rest of this stuff, thanks for sharing!

No more than I’m going to try garden-fresh heirloom tomatoes for the fortieth goddamn time expecting a magical new result.

The biggest thing New Haven has going for it isn’t what allegedly makes it its own distinct “style” (it’s just super thin, yeah? OK, cool, that’s a thing that sometimes you want instead of other styles, but there’s nothing that makes it consistently better in some way, except...), it’s the innovation of pairing clams,…
