Call Ford credit, see if they’ll give you the 6 month waiver they’re now offering.

Caught “Counterpart” when it landed on Prime recently. I’d suggest it for anyone who wants some flu pandemic-adjacent scripted drama.  JK Simmons and Olivia Williams are both fantastic in dual roles.

I make a chicken pie - with pastry crust - that is a huge hit with anyone who eats chicken and pastry. Crust, layer of shredded cheddar, layer of sauteed mushrooms and onions, layer of barely cooked chicken breast (thinly sliced) or thigh meat, more cheese, layer of blanched broccoli (or spinach or other green veg you…

This.  Democracy is ugly and you never get everything you want.  Suck it up, put on your big-person pants and keep fighting.  Change doesn’t happen overnight and big change only happens rarely.

There’s something I find remarkable about my own capacity, even three-plus years in, to underestimate the absolute reckless incompetence of this administration.

“Reading these comments makes me think that Florida is YOLO at the moment.”

Yeah, out here in France catering is tanking stupidly fast too. No more big events allowed, and most companies are implementing meeting restrictions too, even small events that could still be ok are being cancelled because people don’t wanna take any risks...

It’s being hit a lot harder than restaurants for now, even…

Pluto TV already has a lot of old shows streaming with ads, including vintage “Doctor Who” and MST3K on their own dedicated channels 24/7. They work off of, mainly, the Shout Factory, Sony, MGM, and Paramount/Viacom catalogs. If you’re looking for some low cost goodies, there you go.

Someone gave me a bottle as a housewarming gift. I had 1 shot, never touched it again.

Can confirm. I’ve been making wine for nearly 20 years, I’m much more likely to have a beer or bourbon when I’m not in the cellar.

My daughter -a former bartender - loves Fernet. To me it tastes like a combo of Kiehls musk, Hi Karate aftershave and Scope.

That last one tracks.

While all of the wine professionals I know (winemakers, owners, bartenders) all have extensive wine collections, every one of them said that they don’t drink much wine outside of work because they’re around it all day.  

I’ve got no scruples and a WaPo subscription, so here ya go:

Thank you for writing these interviews out again, rather than just using video.

This is news?? National Pancake Day (February 25) came and went with nary a word here on The Takeout. I’m not one to cry about food, but this really made me sad.

Rough equivalent of this is steamed fish - ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, black mushrooms, etc etc etc - oh! and fish - in large platter, steam til done (actually quite fast) top with julienned spring onions and pour some very hot oil over them, serve.

Yeah, no.

Foam rolling is just another form of massage. If you do it with accepted techniques in mind you’ll do wonders to stop a clicking joint or relieve tendinosis pain from trigger points etc

My first couple of batches were just really good, buttery rolls - but they do get easier. Land O’Lakes has a great recipe online that I use that calls for the butter layer to be mixed with flour (three sticks and 1/3 C) and I also modify the liquid ingredients by blending them all (water, sugar, salt, milk - I use…

PB CRISPS!!!! yes!
