Chipotle mayo

...and get shoe leather when you attempt this outside of the US...

Rare to medium rare depending on the cut. Bleu when in Paris...

Sipping from your drink is okay, it’s generally quiet. It’s the idiots that keep repeatedly sucking on the straw long after the cup is empty that should be hunted down by blind, audio sensitive extraterrestrials...

I loved the bit where Bjorn, just about to serve, looks McEnroe straight in the eye and says ‘you will be assimilated; resistance is futile’

I’ve been disagreeing with AVClub for years- No wrath. Or maybe I’m Wrath-Blind...

I think the episode where Homer works at the Kwik-E-Mart to pay for Lisa’s pony indicates that Apu is the owner of the shop- Much Apu About Nothing takes that idea further and indicates that he’s a franchisee...

Knobs? My stove has touch sense buttons on the surface (which you can lock out if you don’t want anyone messing with them).

The current variant of this is the Greg Wallace/Chicken Rendang kerfuffle...

It was okay, but it really didn’t go anywhere in the end.

I think he’s just pissed off because he hasn’t been in the press recently. I’m looking forward to him drugging and kidnapping Stephanie McMahon next (before forcing her to marry him).

Other good sources of umami (I use both). Mushroom powder; and dried seaweed.

You prevent diacetyl but giving your beer a diacetyl rest- any brewer should know this (even homebrewers know this). Leave the beer on the lees until the yeast can reabsorb the diacetyl (and acetyladehyde)

A ready-to-eat, roast beef, Sunday dinner. For one. Sold at the local petrol station.

You neither “drink” or “eat” soup, you “take” soup. Barbarians.

Think of it not as “only has 20 cupcakes” but as “only has 20 cupcakes left”...

I get perfect rice everytime. And I don’t own a rice cooker.

But I can buy a 10kg bag of basmati rice for the price of two packets of that.
