Thank you! I’m a huge fan of Zankou Chicken in LA, and from the photo and your description I’m pretty sure this is the same spread. I’ve asked them for the recipe at Zankou, and they “gave it to me”, but what they told me to do was to put the garlic and a ton of olive oil in a food processor and mix them together for…

Though I wasn’t well acquainted with her work, from what I knew of her she really bugged me. Nonetheless, I’m finding myself unexpectedly very saddened by this news.

Hmm. I read the original post when it first went up on Slate, and something about it rubbed me the wrong way, but I didn’t realize what it was until reading your essay. The framing of the question and Prudence’s answer both had of course you wouldn’t invite him! as their unstated premise. Maybe a question to ask is:…

As a white person, I just want to say that I’ve never encountered, or even heard of, raisins in potato salad. Ugh. That’s just wrong.

When I bring in my own reusable cup, they almost always look at me and ask “Is this a tall or a grande?” I have no idea (and the number of ounces isn’t printed on the cup), so I just say “However much coffee fits in this cup!”

Whenever I find myself in a Starbucks (which isn’t often), I refuse to order a Tall, a Grande, or whatever the third one is. I usually ask for a small, medium, or large. The problem is that the barristas usually have trouble mentally mapping Tall, Grande, and Whatever to small, medium, and large. So sometimes I’ll…

Still puzzled by the first moon fact: “People in the southern hemisphere see the moon upside down compared to the north.” Even looking at the illustration, I’m not sure: what would this say about the appearance of the moon on the equator?

On the one hand, this episode tied together almost all the loose threads. (Except for LubeMan, but Peteypedia answers that.) (And except for who the guy was on Angela’s porch in episode 2 or 3 who wanted to see the kids.)

Peteypedia this week confirms that Petey is Lube Man. It also is sort of a bummer in what else it tells us about Petey’s fate.

Gotta say, I enjoyed episodes 7 and 8 of Watchmen (An Almost Religous Awe and A God Walks Into Abar) a lot more than This Extraordinary Being. Maybe it’s because I’m into the show for the storytelling and am a sucker for a good love story, and only tangentially care about its exploration of racial issues.

The “tachyon cannon” bugged me. The show brought back the Intrinsic Field Subtractor (at least in conversation, and also in Veidt’s play), and the Teleporter. But the comic had no “tachyon cannon”, and why would a massive blast of tachyons destroy Dr Manhattan? In the comic we saw that tachyons affected his time…

I’m not going to pretend to understand what it means, but I loved that in a show so devoted to the exploration of how people change when they put on a mask, that Dr Manhattan’s mask was his own face.

I stumbled into this article because of something in the headline. I’m not a Modern Family watcher; I’ve seen maybe five or six episodes of the course of the first few seasons, and liked it ok, but not enough to watch it week to week. So I’m genuinely curious: is this show any good? I know it’s been around forever…
