Having lived along the Gulf Coast for 53 years and many many many hurricanes, I can tell you it varies if you don’t live DIRECTLY ON THE WATER.

What’s next, Pittsburgh giving us Roethlisberger Ln?

In the showbiz industry it’s known as the Q factor or* likability factor
*Don’t ask me why Q
I’m two weeks from 70 and I watched her show at times.I won’t watch Kelly Ripa who I consider clueless after I watched her talking about jetting to Aspen for the weekend or going to her home in the Hampton’s for the weekend…

A woman asked my aunt in a judgmental tone: “Where are you from?”

Dad’s family escaped Germany (via Ellis Island) in ‘40 to Nebraska. Opa was a Mennonite minister and therefore thrifty. My Oma made Welsh Rarebit with Velveeta and unknown spices on toasted white bread. Didn’t like it at all but I ate it whenever I visited them or Dad in his dotage. (Dad also preferred Miracle Whip…

I’m more a butter-only grits kind of guy, and far from a lover of cheese — but people who love to hate on Velveeta’s processed nature and “it’s not even cheese” really need to pick a different hill to die on. 

Velveeta makes things yummy.

Well that person is at least real.

Do we know where in the Gulf they’re getting this particular shrimp for the Food Banks? I wouldn’t be concerned if we didn’t have a current administration that seems to be actively trying to kill elderly, poor, and brown people...

I’m an old, but it takes courage for Swift to make a clear statement like that. Most celebrities get mushy-mouthed about politics, which is understandable due to the potential of alienating a significant sector of the public and their livelihoods. Swift will lose many country fans for this (yes, she still has country…

We need all the voices to dump Trump. Time is running out. If Swift can influence whatever number of fans to vote, good on her.

It’s an iconic restaurant that’s served families well

Last October, Morse was 30 years old. Do we know how old Andrew Abramson is?
I agree hitting on a student isn’t a great look, but if we’re talking about a 30-year-old flirting with a 25-year-old grad student, that’s a different vibe than a 45-year-old chasing freshmen.
In any case, I guess it’s good to remember…

I am sure you are already aware since you are bringing up Roth, but just in case, all the (real) Deadspin folks including Roth are starting up their own thing at defector dot com.

Extra confusing, what with him being the wettest pussy in any room he enters.

These are almost the same thing as the German Mennonite Bierock (or Beourack, depending on which church cookbook you use). The biggest difference is that the dough is made with shortening as opposed to butter. In my first Bierock attempt I used butter and the end result was a pastry with a crispier texture. With the…

This is NOT an authentic runza but a “foodie” version of. A real runza is made with a few simple ingredients that would have been available from on the farm. My husband’s family is from generations of Nebraskans and they know how to make these right. Of course, there are always different versions of anything but you…

Allison, I will allow your Runza blasphemies in service of a better veggie Runza. They serve a black bean one that’s alright, but I love mushrooms and will be trying this very soon, even though I will inevitably fuck up the dough.

Czech food and culture is also huge in Nebraska...many of our towns are directly named after Czech cities (there is a Prague but it’s pronounced “Pray-g”, and Bruno is Brno for American tongues, and UNL is one of only a few universities in the country to offer Czech as a language course.

Ever since Pine State Biscuits opened a location here in Reno and I had their Ale Mary, which is basically just a bloody beer, it’s been something I’ve craved often. Usually I just buy a bloody mary mix and then add to it. Usually there’s not enough horseradish and hot sauce in it but beer + vinegary/spicy really is…
