(And by extension, marshmallow anything can go to hell.)

This is very true of stir fries, where you flavor the oil with your aromatics and then cook in the aromatic oil. But typically the cooking time is short with lots of movement so you don’t end up with a pile of burnt garlic.

In my area (so cal) most of the hispanic markets sell fresh tortilla chips that are slightly puffy and flaky, while the restaurants all serve the typical thin tortilla chips. The fresh ones are amazing, but also much more salty and greasy than the normal ones (go figure salt and fat taste better).

Since when are you not supposed to chew them? I understand that many people just slurp them down, but I give them a a few chews to savor all that briny goodness.

You know what’s great at separating food? Other food. Mashed potatoes, tough bread, long veggies. Use what’s on your plate. Or use the plates with built in dividers like other people have mentioned. These food cubbies are gonna end up in a yard sale or the landfill in a couple years.

I double-dog challenge you!

Just think of the poor sod that ends up with a Toyota mouth and BMW nostrils.

I find that adjuncts like honey and maple syrup are harder to notice because they are linked with sweetness in our minds. Honey in particular is difficult because the flavors and aromas are very delicate and get quickly overwhelmed. And then if the honey is noticeable people often say its sweet despite most of the…

One of my favorite pubs (sadly now closed) served their signature burger on an english muffin and I very much agree with your assessment.

Trader Joe’s cream varieties are a total win! Personal favorites are banana and vanilla.

The real question is whether Motor Trend has the rights to air the old Top Gear episodes with the original music. After streaming it on Netflix, watching reruns on BBC America with the crappy replacement music is really jarring.

It was available for streaming on Prime for a while, and its really not worth much. May wasn’t even on the show yet and they had lots of segments that didn’t age well, such as random car bargains off the internet.

Probably the worst thing I’ve ever done was plugging a front USB port into a firewire header on the motherboard. I didn’t realize what I’d done until I destroyed 3-4 USB devices by plugging them into that port.

James May has money, right? He should buy this and do a Reassembler episode.

It’s all marketing. The amount of money spent on convincing people that my product is better than yours is staggering. The veggie burger people want to grow their market by making their product appeal beyond the standard vegetarian wanting a patty, and that cuts into the beef people’s market. There’s so much money at…

It’s rather unfair to say that people who fall into conspiracy theories are lacking in logic. Many of them are very intelligent and will go to great lengths to attempt to prove their theories through objective study. However, the very nature of a conspiracy theory is that all the logical gaps can be filled in by…

My second monitor is a 17" CRT. I’ve thought about replacing it with something newer and nicer but its a perfect perch for my cat, especially once it gets warmed up.

This 1000x. The back seat of a 4 GC is a terrible place for adult humans.

Neither was “google,” but such is the nature of evolving language. It would be fun to see a sneak peak of etymology in a hundred years.

Walk into a hair salon and say that. I dare you.
