Kudos to you for making pfeffernusse. I tried once to honor my grandmother and what a pain in the ass.

A 27 course tasting menu should add up to an entree

Really... Folgers....? This dude doesn’t love coffee. He’s just a masochist if he wants more of that vaguely coffee tasting dirt.

Besides what’s been mentioned, a little sliver of smoked salmon, a few capers, and a sprinkle of dill on a deviled egg is very good.

Capers really make piccata, francese and puttanesca.

Only when it starts losing its structural integrity. I had a grillednveggie wrap last week that after 3 bites just fully decided to dump out on my plate. At that point it became a salad.

And the thing about fan service is, it does the opposite in the long run. It’s just catering to existing fans, but not creating new ones. I doubt any younger people who didn’t grow up with the Ghostbusters will see this film and think, “Yes, this is the franchise for me!” It will just seem weird and inscrutable, full…

Especially when the stores are already doing online BF things. I don’t get why someone would want to be physically in a store at that time.

Part of me says the places shouldn’t be open as it means someone is going to have to come in to serve people, but then there is the reality that not everyone has a family to gather with for the holidays but still wants to have the holiday meal (at least for the ones that normally have a meal associated). So there is…

Olympic athlete is a stretch but kid is a top tier dancer. He’s had a physically demanding career and probably knows the tune of his body and its performance backwards and forwards. If it’s declining in some way he would notice, and it’s not to be unexpected that he can’t do backflips in his mid-20s the same way he…

I don’t get these people either. “He had a messy divorce. Jos used language” is really underplaying what happened. No, Joss Whedon is not as bad as the worst people in Hollywood. But that’s a ridiculously low bar.

By all the accounts so far, Whedon was a psychological terrorist and emotional bully, but not a sexual abuser. Not saying the former isn’t horrible, and Carpenter, Benson, and others are still clearly dealing with the trauma of it.

Jesus ... here’s the Whedon apologist who 1) wasn’t there and 2) is giving A LOT of credit to not much information about the “why” of his behaviour. 

I’ve written about this before but always happy to reflect on: Cuban Thanksgiving.

The year I was born, a dear friend of my parents suffered a terrible loss, her mother and daughter died in a car crash. My parents offered to be with her on Christmas. Her husband was not a fan of turkey, we did not eat ham, so we had roast duck with wild rice dressing. As the years went on, more people were invited;…

Perfectly normal. I once accidentally ate three-quarters of a Ford Escort during a particularly un-mindful driving snack. Only noticed what was going on when the engine burned my tongue.

A lot of good ideas here regardless of the size of your kitchen, but not this one:

“Despite her groomed appearance, there was no holding back from Adele.”  What a weird line.

Omg…now I’d like to try that Lemon Cake Shake with half strawberry/half vanilla…while also ordering the Chocolate Cake Shake…

The throughput at any Portillo’s drive-through absolutely dwarfs that of any other drive-through I’ve ever been in.  Period.  The fact that it doesn’t take a half an hour every time is nothing short of miraculous.  I hope that quality is maintained as they go wide.
