We do not know one another through any medium except here, so far as I know.

Tabasco is great if you use it for what it’s meant.
giving a lil bit of heat to something. It has little flavor, because it’s not meant to.
It’s the only hot sauce I ever use, because I never use just that.
Very flavorful hot sauce are great, but like, once in a while. Otherwise all your food end up being the same. And…

Tobasco sauce is an ingredient. It makes food better by going in it, not on it. Franks and Cholula are condiments. They make food better by going on it. 

Always 7-up for a stomach ache but something my mom used if we split our lips or lost a tooth in a dramatic fashion was powdered sugar. She would lay you across her lap and spoon the sugar on your cut or in your mouth. It would miraculously stop any crying and after a few spoonfuls, make you feel better.

Sure you can get it anywhere, but food with a name and a story tastes better. Scientific fact.

Also, thank you :)

I’m on it. 

Bingo—if you have the principles, you’re good. When I cooked meat, I checked tables when I made turkey, to ensure that I gave enough cooking time for the weight of the bird, and I didn’t make turkey often. When I’d try a new technique or a new ingredient, I’d read up on it, and when I had that down, it became part of…

Jacques Pépin has the best advice for this topic.

I wrote a poem a few years back that had a little bit to do with tacos

OK, only a few years before I arrived. I don’t know why, but Buffalo wings seemed to have made their way to southern VT/NH well before I was in Burlington. Maybe it was just my grandmother knowing her way around a deep fryer + her love of Frank’s Red Hot? She did, in fact, put that shit on EVERYTHING, and absolutely…

mustard museum is totally legit. there’s gobs to do in that area if you like history or nature. kettle moraine state park still has a shot tower. hubbard avenue diner is a nostalgic trip. bring your claritin if you go to the house on the rock, it’s a bit musty. and driving isn’t boring because it’s not flat. people…

Sadly Lou’s Living Donut Museum no longer exists. I used to have a t-shirt from there.

Funny story:

T.S. Eliot is the other famous St. Louisan widely assumed to be English. Many people also assume Sir Stanley Musial was  English, hut he was originally from PA.

A little surprised Takeout is still pushing this “isn’t it gross/crazy someone put grapes on a pizza” angle when several folks in the comment section of the last article pointed out grapes on flatbread is an authentic Italian dish. Schiacciata is a traditional Tuscan flatbread (similar to focaccia) that can be savory…

This “problem” already had a solution, and that’s the Recipe Filter extension I use on Chrome. You still have to click on the page so they still get the interactions but you don’t have to read unless you’re interested.

I’m sorta confused by this - they’ve been around for years, like ... a decade or more? I remember going to a Yelp Elite party at one when they were expanding in Chicagoland. And then they all closed a few years later. I guess they’re trying again? Anyway, I remember the food being good, the rosemary garlic fries were…

Southern VT native here, can confirm about the dinner/fundraiser thing, although I don’t remember any of them being waffle dinners - pancake breakfasts, New England boiled dinner (around St. Patrick’s Day at the Roman Catholic church’s parish hall), or barbecue/burgers/hot dogs for the volunteer fire department.

People still do community suppers afaik. The last one I attended myself was 2015, a grange corned beef supper. I imagine that chicken and waffles wasn’t really one after a certain point because of the requirement for the equipment to turn it out for a crowd. You’d need a dozen or more wafflemakers and multiple friers,…
