I’ve found that lemon juice works wonders for potatoes. It adds just a hint of acid and seems to make them a little less sticky.

If you ask someone for a sandwich will they give you a hot dog?

When you get into beers with high initial production cost (large malt or hop bills) or high storage cost (beers aged for months or years) we’re already seeing people willing to pay a premium. Six-packs well over $10 are pretty common and single 22oz/750ml bottles can easily hit $30-$40. Combine low production rates…

Just look at those gorgeous chompers! The milk is an important part of maintaining his pearly whites.

Vermonters take their maple syrup seriously.

I’ve visited the Bahamas several times and it was a toss of a coin whether the drivers seat of the rental car was on the left or the right. Always fun times.

I wish there was a data saver option for Gizmodo sites.

As someone who has been a live donor (kidney) and also lost a family member whose organs were donated upon death, I can still understand someone not wanting that. Death is so traumatic that logic tends to go out the window.

I would add TJ’s “21 seasoning salute.”

Vodka is a neutral spirit. Multiple distillations strip out all the character of the base material so it really doesn’t matter what you use. Some countries have laws as to what base is used, but that is primarily to protect local growers and distillers. The difference in flavor between vodkas has more to do with the…

As someone who moved from the Northeast to the Southwest, the annual launch of the pumpkin spice latte is another big reminder that I am missing seasons.

Yeah I have a hard time waking up. I can hit the snooze button 5-10 times and be fully asleep between each one. I somehow doubt that this would actually wake me up, but I’m willing to give it a try.

Keep in mind that ESB is a much maltier, sweeter, and stronger version of a British bitter. It was actually created (and trademarked) by Fuller’s and is not representative of what you will find in an English pub.

Pickled ginger is not a garnish for sushi. It’s a palate cleanser.

Agreed 100%. It’s a completely unneeded solution that was never thoroughly tested and now is a headache. I’ve found that if the nozzle has a weak enough spring it won’t click off so I’ve mapped out all the pumps at my local fill-up spot so I know which ones to use.

This is entirely untrue. Blends are made when a winemaker is trying to get a specific end-product. This is most common in European regional wines. The famous Cotes du Rhone is a blend and can use up to 11 different varietals. Bordeaux reds are almost always blends. If you discount blends as trash you will miss out on…

The devs have talked about this a lot. Realistically there are 15-20 tiers of content at level cap, between 5 man heroics, 5-man mythics, different levels of each raid, etc, with some overlap. In order to make meaningful differences in those tiers you end up making the power growth over the course of an expansion very…

I associate mall food with Sbarro more than any other chain. Long before Auntie Annie’s and Cinnabon were stinking up my local mall Sbarro was there. It has outlasted DQ and A&W and watched as that weird Chinese place has changed its name 15 times. It still sits there among the giants of McDonald’s and Subway and that…

Exactly. Coconut milk has been around for many years and there were no issues because it didn’t intrude on the dairy space.

I wonder if they controlled for synthetic vs naturally occurring nitrates.
