Depending on the sea it came from, it very well may taste different than mined salt. It’s not pure NaCl. Her mistake was using big flakey coarse salt, instead of fine sea salt. You pay a premium for larger grain, which gets dissolved away in the water. 

Hi Caitlin! Great piece, and I’ll definitely be picking up the book when it’s out. Even in, as a Pendery, the Penzeys are the competition. :P

Oh wow, that makes me sad. It’s been an awesome regular column. I am IN the industry, and share it out to my team every Monday morning because there is often good, relevant information that they benefit from.

Lines happen, and are understandable. Great BBQ place? Absolutely. Ramen? Sure. Pizza? Ok! But it should be illegal to have to wait in line for salad.

It is absolutely worth it. Don’t judge it based on one batch that not only had a hiccup in its production, but also came from ALLRECIPES of all places... Use a much more trusted resource.

Yeah. BFV is already real good, and they just announced today a lot of really good balance/QoL changes coming up.

Woah woah woah! BFV owns. It’s got a few bugs that will probably be fixed soon enough, and not really more than the average game these days. It’s honestly the most fun I have had with a Battlefield game since BC2.

I am very much looking forward to dipping my beard into barbecue sauce every time I want to take a sip of my lemonade. I can save that sauce for later, and brush it onto my next meal. 

I will start off by saying, I am a food snob. The sum value of my cooking appliances, utensils and gadgets exceeds the cost of my not cheap car. This includes an outdoor wood-burning oven, more than one stand mixer, two fridges, two freezers. I have not bought broth or stock from a store in years. I have a dedicated…

TBF, 90% of Salty’s answers can also be boiled down to “Tip more always, forever.”

It really sounds like you have forgotten that WoW has a monthly sub fee... Destiny’s xpac cycle averages out to WAY less than WoW. 

That’s freakin’ crazy! I paid about $120/month on my Volt, and am around $110/month on my Bolt. I’m a 35 year old (today!) guy, with 2 totals on my driving record and middling credit. 

Holy shit finally some great news! Fahey, you’re the fuckin’ best and I’ve missed you.

Oh, I am with you on the Sylvanas thing, as I mentioned in the comment you are replying to. Seems like a pretty terrible move.

This almost sounds like you actually liked Metzen, and want him back... I am not a fan of the current Sylvanas, but Metzen has been actively in the way of talented writers doing anything actually creative and original for years.

I wasn’t aware that “Leave out on counter” was considered a lot of effort. 

I mostly agree, but I separate the two like this:

Honestly, it sounds like you did what I did the first few times, and didn’t use nearly enough salt. It takes much more than you expect.

Yup! I worked on three games last console cycle that were ready to go for cross-platform play, and while Sony was all for it, Microsoft told us to get lost.

It’s time for Cliffy B. to fade away in the sands of time, along with the last of the “rockstar game developers”. One charismatic dude with 3 plucky programmers can’t make a massively successful game anymore.
