Eh, my two cats don’t really keep each other company so much as tolerate each other’s presence.

This also aides the cheese in melting, since the inside isn’t cold.

You can make any cheese melt like American as long as you don’t mind the process of melting it as low as possible, adding melting salts, remolding it, and rechilling it.

Clearly you need to wear a never washed loin cloth made of leaves from a native plant.

Yeah, emails should just be short and to the point; otherwise it's a waste of everyone's time. I'ma keep ignoring your signature that's twice as long as the body.

Having conversations in other languages is key, at least for me. I don’t have so much trouble remembering the vocabulary, and I can understand alright, but come time to have a real world conversation, I clam up on the response.

Yeah, I don’t use any vinegar, just lemon juice, and I also add mustard (big fan of Grey Poupon’s course ground Country Style Dijon). I don’t add sugar, and I don’t add salt (if a sandwich needs salt, I’ll sprinkle it on when constructing it).

Lol, currently need to find a barber/stylist familiar with longer men's hair styles. When I keep it short, I just cut it myself, but there's no way I can do my shoulder length hair myself. It's been a year since my last cut, but I'm starting to get some frizz and split ends that need to be cleaned up.

Neon yellow mustard is disgusting. Gotta get a spicy brown, or a course ground dijon.

Look. I’ve been cooking professional for a decade, did a stint as head chef of a modernist restaurant, I’ve lived on the other side of the planet and eaten things most people have never heard of.

On a similar note; can we stop pushing our high schoolers to go to college?

Diamond Crystal is a little more corse than say, Morton's. If you switch from one to the other, there's a small learning curve to get the right salt content.

Roasted broccoli is the only way I like it. Sure, I’ll eat it other ways, but roasted is the only good broccoli.

Currently have no kids, and no current plans to have them, but an honest question that popped into my head; is it ok to hire and pay a babysitter to watch the kid(s) a time or two while you are home just to judge their compatibility?

“They are also incredibly cheap—even the extremely expensive bougie store had them for less than two bucks per pound.”

I always look for the “off” cuts at the bougie stores; they are cheap because most people who shop there pass them up for something more generic.

I got just over a lb or pork belly the other day for…

Much easier than all that, if you have an oled screen, is the app PixOff. It lets you turn off a pattern of pixels to save battery, and has a setting to black out but not lock the screen when the phone is inverted.

Between Boy Scouts, Lifeguarding, and Ski Patrol, I’ve been trained and retrained for many years. Whoever is taking charge needs to directly call out assignments.

I use the ThermoPop in a professional setting; I really don’t see a reason to have a Thermapen. It’s too bulky to be practical. Honestly, that’s also my only complaint with the ThermoPop, too. When I eventually need an upgrade, I’ll go with the ProNeedle, since it will rest in my chef coat nicely.

You clean slag off of a hot billet (think forging), not welds, but I’ve never thought to pick up one of those brushes. Will do.

To be fair, if it was made with ground chicken formed into a patty, I would call it a chicken burger. And veggie sandwich brings to mind something totally different than veggie burger. And if it’s not ground beef, it’s a steak sandwich.
