Two problems with that: 1) that means I need cream on hand 2) that’s real buttermilk, but most modern recipes mean cultured milk when they say “buttermilk”

Whiskey is self-sterilizing. At least that’s what I tell my fiancee.

“Mocktail?" If you can handle politics in 2019 sober you are a stronger person than me.

The best advice I ever got when I was a kid was to learn how to have fun without drinking before I added in alcohol. I tried out a similar line to that on a friend in college who was pushing me to try her white russian and she was like, ‘how do you know unless you try?’ People don’t like boundaries. I should also…

I neither hate Guy Fieri as people once did nor do I embrace him as people strangely have begun to do in the last few years. But I will say this, everything Guy Fieri makes looks like something that would be served at an Applebee’s owned by Smash Mouth.

It’s because they feel called out. I don’t drink, never have. Will be standing around minding my own business with a gingerale and some schmuck will invariably ask me why I’m not drinking. It then devolves into an increasingly desperate interrogation from the other person about why I don’t drink:

If you can’t trust the CEO of the company who gave us gritty queso and food poisoning, who can you trust?

I mean, would anyone trust chipotle with plant based meat considering how they basically became an e. coli farm?

When I first started as a busboy, the busers and waitstaff regularly ate off the plates. At first, I thought it was disgusting, no way would I do that. Then one day, I brought back some sauted halibut strips that was only half eaten, and was getting ready to toss it. A waiter grabbed the plate and shoved one of the…

If you’re using flour to thicken a sauce, perhaps a roux is what you should be using?

“Nearly 20 years” is a pretty good run for a restaurant these days.

I don’t think these meat-alternatives are necessarily trying to create new customers based on taste; I think they’re trying to give customers who are trying to lower their red meat footprint another option, and also trying to expand their offerings for vegans/vegetarians (assuming those last 2 groups decide to eat at,…

I did attend a whisky tasting once, where the couple behind me didn’t touch their sample of Macallan Rare Cask.  Me and the fellow next to me weren’t shy about snagging those.  I couldn’t do partially consumed food though... if nothing on the plate were touched at all, maybe, but if they ate one single fry, I’m out.

I disagree they should disclose it to potential employers.

This. It’s remarkable how good the air circulation can be under a big, long skirt. And the all natural fabrics would have breathed, unlike modern synthetics.

Fine linen & cotton garments were a thing then, too - the traitorous Confederate south didn’t have to experience maximum swamp-ass all the time, but the infrequent (by modern standards) bathing certainly didn’t help any.

Thanks for reading! Buy my books!

This is why linen became the predominant fabric among those who could afford it. If you’re gonna be hot and sticky, might as well wear something that will suck it right off and let it evaporate away.

1) the rich people didn’t move around very much. 2) everyone smelled so it is less noticeable 

Why isn’t everyone passing out or complaining loudly?
