I’m sure cans are cheaper to make, but how is the tube not more popular? Unless you need the entire can for one recipe, the tube is the only way to actually get to use all of the tomato paste you bought.

It’s true. Being hungry always makes your problems worse. 

I really didn’t need to see this episode. Now that I work from home, and my wife’s started law school, I need to find social hobbies that I can do with other people. But instead, GBBO’s convinced me to become a master bread maker.

“I recommend buying your tomato paste in a squeezable tube that you can keep in the refrigerator, not only because it keeps for a while, but it’ll remind you to use this magical ingredient more often.”

Having recently (and very stupidly) done this trail in a 2008 Subaru Forester, I really, really wish we’d decided to add a lift kit. Even two inches would have made the entire experience 100x less stressful.

I’m not sure Kroger offers the same deal, but if you live near a Ralph’s, buy your wine six bottles at a time so you get 30% off your total. The ultimate deal, though, is when Ralph’s has one of those promotions that gives you a grocery discount if you buy six bottles of wine. In addition to saving 30% on wine, you…

Isn’t the bigger danger blackmarket THC vapes and not e-cigs?

But for the cost of one bottle of Argyle, I could probably buy six bottles of something more affordable at Ralph’s.

I guess you could say I leave the best for last, but often, that means giving priority to foods that don’t taste as good as they cool off. In a hypothetical fast food scenario, that means I eat the fries first since the burger will stay warm longer. Who wants to eat cold fries?

Wait, people regularly spend more than $10 on a bottle of rosé? Have I been doing this wrong?

As a big fan of wings, I was super excited to see my new apartment was a literal one-minute walk from a BWW. But then I made the mistake of trying the Korean fried chicken down the street, and I don’t know if my wallet will ever forgive me.

I’ll have to keep that in mind for future college graduation gifts.

Baking is probably more of an issue than cooking, but you can always wake your laptop back up with a clean knuckle.

It’s possible I’ve just missed the cookbooks that do this, but I feel like one of the biggest challenges for people learning to cook is that they don’t always know how to pair sides with a main dish. But they also don’t want to learn the theory first.

I’m saying that as an editor, the worst submissions I get read like a thesaurus vomited all over the page. Either because they want to show off how many big words they know or because they think using big words will make them sound smarter. 

Personally, I can enjoy an ultra-hoppy IPA, but I’ve really appreciated more bars and restaurants adding saisons to their beer lists. Even if American brewers keep cranking up the ABV like it’s a Belgian tripel or something.

Everyone saying yes is wrong unless she thinks her InstantPot Mini is too small for some dishes. There are very few, if any, things a Dutch oven can do that an electric pressure cooker can’t also do.

Sorry, but there’s a reason editors early in my career beat it into my head that words cost money. Using 27 letters where four will do is just bad writing. Show off how smart you think you are somewhere else.

Having spent far more than my fair share of time in bars, the best advice I can give is to stop going out on Fridays and Saturdays. Swipe the apps while munching on charcuterie and drinking wine that’s 5x nicer than what you could afford at a bar. Play cards with friends. Go watch a band that uses instruments to make…
