I thought the same thing when i read that!!! Why grind up SPAM when there already exists a perfect version of that: Underwood Deviled Ham!! And people, if you haven’t tried it, you MUST. Sounds gross but it is AWE. SOME. It’s basically pâte for the less fancy people like us. As a sandwich on white bread with crunchy…

Nonalcoholic beer is a misnomer. It contains alcohol, but not enough to make you intoxicated. Usually .5 or 1%. It’s the same with some sugar free drinks, like Fanta Zero. As long as it’s under 1%, it’s considered sugar free.

My guess would be that the packaging looks similar to normal beer and it is easier to police since every place that sells to minors could just claim “Oh, I thought it was NA”

In the case of products that contain CBD, it’s considered a controlled substance. With many other products, it’s entirely bureaucratic and extremely silly. 

Walnuts must be defended. They are a great flavour counterpoint to sweet chocolate chips. 

This is off topic slightly, but ATK is off-the-charts better without Chris Kimball

I just needed to say that

Margarine was invented during the reign of Napoleon III. Seriously, Napoleon offered a reward for anyone who could come up with a substitute for butter because his army’s supplies kept running low.

1869, the result of a challenge by Emperor Napoleon III to create a butter substitute from beef tallow for the military and lower classes. Its origin was even earlier, in 1813, with the discovery of margaric acid (which, with oleic acid, became the origin of its name — oleomargarine; margaric acid was later found to…

Dude's from Scranton. It's gonna be scrapple. 

The only one in town.

I still don’t understand this. Restaurants are ephemeral and always have been. Outside of some chains, the life span of any restaurant is limited. You’re lucky if it lasts for decades.

We overlapped! I started my Ph.D. at the U of C Div School in 1989.

I am producing a documentary on this debate. I have interviewed several past debaters including the oldest living debater Bernie Weisberger. I have also travel to Krakow Poland for the Jewish Cultural Festival which also hosts a debate every year for the past decade. I would love to connect to anyone interested in or…

Generally fall on the latke side of the debate, but one advantage of the hamantasch is it provides a better vehicle to be made into an edible. Yes, I mean that kind of edible.

man, i love thumbprints. i almost submitted one i make for christmas (that includes chocolate!) but lapsed on the time. why do people gotta hate? honestly though, my favorite is a tie between sugar cookies (in whimsical shapes, obviously) and the basic chocolate chip cookie. growing up, my mom hardly ever made cookies…

Try tilting the wok slightly toward you, and “fold” in the ingredients with the spatula (from the heated area, to the top). Just like folding ingredients into a batter, only cooking at the same time.

Claire was referring to the one he mixes in the bar, which uses Teqila; and is a large batch. She mentioned that its a problem becuase it is such a large batch, so she can’t make it at home.

Thank you! I was amazed I hadn’t seen a mention of ribbon candy! Beautiful, lethal terrible stuff that it is.

There may not be Christmas candy where you live, but I get Christmas Dianedy.

Newcastle Brown is no longer brewed in Newcastle, period. Which did allow another brewery to market their own beer as “a Newcastle Brown”.
