Did you say buns? I’ll grab those for you.

As a woman who used to work in the food industry (as a server many years ago, then later as a pastry chef), I can confirm that the food business is very much a boys’ club. Heck, when I was a culinary student I was told by my male chef instructors to expect to work twice as hard as the men for the same respect, and to…

I hate going to the doctor, and the nurse yells for “ShortPale&Adequate”. People always stare, it’s embarrassing ;)

Between this and Louis CK’s Cinnabon bit, I’m starting to think that cinnamon buns are some kind of secret pervert symbology.

While his orange crocs may no longer be his top offense against humanity, they always suggested to me that he was sketch and probably pretty gross as a person.

co-owner Steve Crane warned him: “Don’t even think about messing with the waitresses—they’ve been through hell with Mario.”

I do think the fact that the linked recipe is just instructions on how to brush some butter and cinnamon sugar on pre-made store bought pizza dough should get Batali some bonus demerits. “I’m ‘sorry’ everyone is mad at me, a great man. Here is a ‘recipe’ I stole off a tube of Pillsbury dough.”

I’m wondering how the Red Menace plans to “regain the trust” of women who he groped and slobbered on in the rape room. What does that involve, exactly? Do we even want to know?

Well, of course he had to self promote. Abusers are all about themselves.

It’s hard for these PR/crisis management teams to write an “apology” that sounds marginally different from the ones that they’ve just written for their other client pigs. Someone must have thought “this pig’s a chef - we’ll throw in a recipe!”

Came looking for SNS, stayed for disgraced TV chef. Way to take the situation seriously, big guy.

Both playing down his assault and trying to play up his “contributions to society”.

This fucking county...

Their funding gets cut, and people get fired. That is what happened to the National Park Service when they refused to fake pictures from the inauguration to show bigger crowds.

I was wondering that, too. Of course, people will pipe up with cries of “They’ll fire all the scientists!” Fine: fire all the scientists. The scientists will still be here; dictionaries will still be here; the words will still be here. And sooner than not, that cunt Trump and his troupe of traitors will be gone.

So basically they are sending a message to scientists on the direction their research should take especially if they are ambitious. And also making it harder for the media and the public to understand the full import of these reports.

This is just the next doubleplusgood step in the happy ruling of our Great Leader.

Probably. Antique dish sets practically look like doll house dishes compared to stuff you can buy now. You literally can’t mix and match the two types on a dinner table because of the difference in scale.

I’m going to just punt they were most likely much smaller due to how expensive both fine china and coffee/tea was in those days.
