I always just use kohlrabi in stir fry. Creamy soup would be a very intriguing outlet for it, though.

It's garlic scape season! WOOOOOOOO!!!! Last night's dinner was whole wheat pasta with garlic scape pesto, and it was so, so good. Especially awesome is that scapes and basil are converging; we've had so much rain that my little basil plants are just big enough that we could have fresh basil in the pesto, instead…
This is why I could never understand Stuart Little. Charlotte's Web was my favorite book as a kid, so I naturally figured I'd love Stuart Little, but then I couldn't get into it at all because WTF??? She gave birth to a mouse? And no one is commenting on it? 8-year-old me could believe a spider who spells, but…
If it's any help, @PugsMalone:disqus , that huge, unplugged Tzadik hole is a problem for me, too. (I should probably see a doctor about it…)
Seriously, when @avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus describes it so eloquently, it sounds like a fantastic movie!
This is what happens when a lobster gets bitten by a radioactive spider.
Wait — what flavors are in a roll of Lifesavers now? How do they not have lemon or lime? @avclub-d542a3419c3ad57206a96bcc86155ebc:disqus is right — our society is heading for disaster, all in the name of candy innovation.
Don't believe this people telling you circus peanuts are marshmallow. The fact of the matter is that they're just orange chalk, in the shape of a peanut with gigantism.
Exactly! Sour apple is only acceptable as a novelty candy. It's supposed to be the Jolly Rancher candy that all the seven-year-olds are afraid of and challenge each other to try to eat more than one. Who wants sour apple to be an everyday candy? Especially mixed in with normal fruit flavors? IT MAKES NO SENSE! I…
It's so true — and so weird — that lime is a billion times better than lemon. You'd think they'd be interchangeable, but apparently there's just something tasty about the color green. (And NOT in a sour-apple way.)
It's my mother's favorite candy, a fact that makes me really wish I was adopted. Out of concern that liking circus peanuts might be a hereditary trait that skips generations, I'm never going to have kids. I wouldn't want a child of mine to have to live like that.
It's a shame those lobster potato chips are apparently disgusting, because that packaging is adorable. I mean, who wouldn't want to buy a snack with that smiling lobster on it?
I'm glad there's someone else here outraged by this shameful handling of the lime flavor. Lime is the best flavor. Period. (Well, for fruit candies. I mean, duh — chocolate, but I digress…) Sour apple is an atrocity. This is not opinion; it's fact. I don't eat a lot of candy, and definitely haven't kept up on…
Congratulations! Now do you just get to sit back and rake in the big bucks?
Exactly. I'm a worrier about going to concerts (because I'm a huge dork and am afraid I'm going to be pointed- and laughed-at by the cool kids), but recently realized that, as a fan of bands that were cool in the '90s, if I'm going to a show it's going to be music by old people for old people. So, yeah, that Oct. 15…
In a battle of ear-destroying horribleness against ear-destroying horribleness, that "One of Us" song definitely wins. Actually, considering how awful "What's Up" is, it's impressive how handily "One of Us" manages to beat it. Who knew that there could be that much more ear-destroying horribleness packed into one…
@avclub-8487b0689da6771599d41a721015a725:disqus Nah, I just got dyes from Dharma Trading Co. Making dyes would be totally hardcore!
Urgh, crawlspaces. My last house had one (it's the only house I've ever lived in that wasn't slab or basement), and one time an electrician had to go down there. He resurfaced all cheerful, telling us what a really nice crawlspace it was — apparently it was roomy and dry and had nice lighting set up in it (!?!). I…
The other thing that's amazed me with the vast difference between fresh-and-local and grocery-store-and-god-knows-how-old is garlic.
Awww. That's so sad. @avclub-4a51fda79bbd54b4e7327dd6559b6c4d:disqus is right, though — your next cat(s?) is (are?) out there looking for you RIGHT NOW!
