This won’t be new to some Gen-Xers, at least. My grandmother poured soda & milk for us in the late 70s, as a way to stretch a single small Coke bottle between two kids. We called it a Brown Cow. She also did it with 7-Up. Pretty tasty, IMHO.

When I was a kid (in Indy), the local line was that St. Elmo’s cocktail sauce was “a third, horseradish, a third ketchup, and a third lighter fluid.” You’re right that the fresh stuff is hotter.

I'm not even fine as heck.

My secret ingredient: celery salt

I’d always heard that Indy and Columbus, OH were oddly high on the nuclear target list because while the immediate impact location would not be considered an important target, the jet stream would sweep the fallout east to affect a large portion of the US population.

Beanee Weenees. Yeah, I said it.

Please stop filming me in my home because I just ate one of those $5 packages for lunch literally today

Concept is a good group game, easily flexed with house rules — you can play it in teams or not, you can score or not. “Select icons to help your team guess a secret word or phrase.” You could even forego their word/phrase cards and make up your own answers for your group to guess. There’s also a separate kids’…

I love the original, and like the US remake. The latter has a sharper (meaner, snarkier) edge to its comedy which makes it all just a little less...nice, but that’s where American comedy seems to be right now. I like the US ghost archetypes quite a lot — the sardonic Native American, the Viking, the scout leader. But…

Thank you for putting these lists together, I always find at least one or two items to add to my library & wish lists.

Eh, I’m OK with “the motions” sometimes. It’s fine.

I tried this tonight, and it was delicious. Had it half-and-half with chicken in a salad, but next time will try it on its own. It had good flavor but no real kick; the spice mix was pretty true to ground chorizo (not the fancy artisanal dry-aged stuff).

You are an excellent writer.

I also found Miller’s whole Scylla backstory to be fascinating. Great book.

I looked up this exact question — had to dig on their site, found it in an image.

This issue was mentioned to me during the in-the-chair questionnaire given by the nurses before both of my vaccine shots.

Came to suggest these, leave with the rye idea. Win!

I still have my Droid Factory:

Also TV charlatan Peter Popoff and his “miracle spring water” -- how is that man not in jail? And I’m not talking about the crime that is his wig.

My snobbish aunt has never been so honest as when she said once — surely a slip of the veil, unintended — “I liked it because I thought I should.” She’s never come close to such a revealing clue before or since. We have a lot of interest overlap, but she cannot understand why I’m not watching every single PBS show…
