Yeah, I think that’s exactly the reason why. Cutting into florets would make a better product (IMO), but it wouldn’t be as ‘satisfying’ for non-meat eaters, I guess, because it wouldn’t look like a main course. Though if one eschews meat, why does one need/want a dish that evokes a meat dish?

Honest question: Does the cellular structure of cauliflower prevent osmosis? Are the cell walls less permeable than meat cells?

Same here. Never ate/didn’t like it because it was served either raw (which is just eh) or steamed (ugh). Then had it at Girl & the Goat in Chicago - Roasted Cauliflower with Pickled peppers, Pine nuts, and Mint. It was amazing! Now I’ll roast it at home usually just with olive oil, salt and pepper. It’s great. 

shredded brussel sprouts with shrimp/furikake stir fry

Pickled sprouts, you say. Hmmmm.... So, like little sauerkraut balls? I’m intrigued.

This is patently false. Roast or grill them (EVOO, S & P) and they’re great. Flash-fried are even better. You can even throw bacon in there, if you want, but certainly not needed. Dates also go well with sprouts. They’re just little cabbages, so raw (as in this salad) it’s basically a cabbage salad. IMHO sprouts have…

They also put constitutional amendments on the ballot this cycle, which would have taken power away from the executive and put it into the hands of the legislature. And they put the most milquetoast descriptions of said amendments on the ballot to try to lure voters into approving them. Fortunately, they both lost —…

Seriously!! Who the fuck thinks he looks 49?!? He could probably pull of 59, but no one is being suckered into believing he’s under 50. (OK, I know I shouldn’t say “no one” because there’s likely some dimwit out there who would, but come on....)

And what point was proved? That you can have it your way at McD’s (which wasn’t a thing originally but has been a thing for decades)? That McD’s will gladly accept your dollar for a $0.02 slice of cheese?! Shit, it took the orderer longer to input the order than it did for the worker to “make” it. I’m sure McD’s would…

No - principles of federalism mean that the fed AG has no control over state AGs. So if, say, the NY AG were to charge DJT Jr., Erik and Ivanka with fraud and consipiracy under NY laws, there’s not a damn thing Whitaker (or POTUS, for that matter) could do about it. 

Two things:

See, I don’t agree with that — unless the cap is pretty damn high. There is a substantial risk associated with working on a contingency basis, esp. if one does class action work: If one loses, one doesn’t get paid. And because no lawyer wins 100% of his/her cases, the compensation from wins helps to pay for the…

Lawyers get a bad rap, and lawsuits like this one is a big reason for it. It likely won’t happen, but I would love for plaintiff’s counsel to be sanctioned for bringing such a ridiculous, frivolous suit. 

The orderer ordered a cheeseburger; it says so right there at the top: “1 x cheeseburger”. He/she just deleted options from it. That he/she ended up paying a dollar for a piece of cheese is a self-own, but I guess it was ‘worth it for the ‘gram’ or something like that.

It hasn’t. What also hasn’t changed is that many, many, many, many low-/middle-income GOP voters vote R even though they benefit from Dem policies and programs and are disadvantaged by R policies and programs because ... reasons: For some, it’s abortion or other social issues (so much for small government); for…

FREE BEER!!! 

a genuine Constitutional amendment enshrining the right of all adults to vote

Good on them for discovering the issue and proactively addressing it. But I’d be pissed if they didn’t try to alert me to the situation. (Hey, FYI, all of your accounts have been deactivated, your ATM card and checks will no longer work; you might want to contact us before entering into any financial transactions.) 

BofA allows a bunch of different alerts, including all of those you list. I think Chase does too.  

Getting Hannity off the airwaves and into a WH office would be a huge win for America. He won’t stop his obsequious shilling for POTUS, so his no longer having the facade of impartiality would be a welcome change. But Sean isn’t giving up his day job for that. He still has the outsized influence with POTUS, gets to…
