I don’t remember anyone pulling me into the kitchen and teaching me any specific recipe, but I grew up in restaurants and one of the first books I ever owned was a cookbook, so I learned a lot that way. I used to make a cheesecake for family holidays when I was nine or so.

I’m a pro cook who once taught middle schoolers a simple cooking class. I went with recipes that build on themselves. Roux>white sauce>bechamel>cheese sauce> mac-n-cheese. Sauteed onions and garlic, brown beef,add spices, can become either chili or spag sauce. Baked chicken is great because you can then turn leftovers…

Breakfast! Scrambled eggs are easy. Pancakes are easy. Bacon & sausage is easy.

Finally, an expert opinion I can trust.

It’s to the death, it doesn’t get more competitive than that.

Carburetors, man! That’s what life is all about.

It’s a semantic argument over a chocolate that’s barely chocolate in the first place.

Counterpoint: People who like white Reese’s deserve to be lied to

Report it to state and federal labor authorities. As taking tip money is almost always illegal wage garnishment. IIRC its illegal federally and in most states. Its nothing to do with the minimum wage itself. Employers can not touch tip money. And they can not take wages you are fairly due (which includes tips). Its…

No way, I drink marzens, Vienna lagers, and brown ales pretty much any time I see them. 

Personally I really enjoyed the character of “Euron” in this television show.

This is also why his final…

I’m sorry, but that headline and graphic had me anticipating something much, much more ambitious than a set of sausages with toppings inspired by the flavors of other dishes (well, 5 dishes and 1 liqueur).

I was literally expecting a pizza run through the grinder into some sort of casing and then grilled and dropped on…

I mentioned before how, when bingeing a series, AVClub writers miss obvious points and nuances in episodes. Amongst the many, the 3 biggest ones for me are:
1. Smartphones (and digital assistants) can be used to covertly listen to you- there’s evidence of this happening now in the real world.
2. Social Media operators…

Hot fudge is the ultimate topping. It works on everything, and even works wonders by itself. And it’s one of the few toppings that you can never get enough of. It’s simply the most universal.

Yes this episode was cheesy, but I think it was done on purpose. Just finished watching it, and at first I thought it was cliche with a cartoon villain, but I think that’s the point. It was structured just like a Disney movie. Ashley=Hannah Montana?

in the Southern Hemisphere the bread is hinged on the opposite side. Wild!

An auxiliary verb, to be specific. Even if it's omitted, an auxiliary verb implies a “real” verb.

I have a friend who toured with St. Vincent once.  So St. Vincent and I are basically, like, items.
