Once it’s frozen, the texture is set so long as it doesn’t melt. Like ice cream, which is pretty ruined texturally if it melts partway and freezes again.

1. Good sushi has the proper amount of wasabi on it and you don’t need to add more.

The “wasabi” in sushi restaurants is nothing more than horseradish and mustard (and green food color).

So my nasal passages aren’t being dissolved from the inside until my head is hollow?

Pretty much true of any overseas travel anywhere? Or automobile travel in general.  Jalopnik is a blog dedicated to (mostly motorized) transportation so that standard would wipe out most of the articles, especially David Tracy’s Jeeps.  

I’m heartened that this new Dark Crystal iteration was a good experience, but I’m a little bummed at the assumption that puppetry is otherwise not to be taken seriously as long-form entertainment. It’s a 4,000-year-old art form, with cultures all over the globe having developed their own unique traditions of it, some

Would love to have been a fly on the fender for that discovery!

Very doubtful someone thinking about breaking into some cars thinks “I wonder which of these have a $20 hidden in the console?” and only targets those cars.

And unless you have hard evidence that the opioid epidemic is actually to blame for an increase in car break-ins, I don’t think that argument has a place here.

I’ll put it on my list!

If they do, I hope they at least keep it Pokemon-themed and be some kind of Rocket team.

Neat how one of them is also a Pokestop in Pokemon Go. Smart brand synergy, and if folks do indeed seek these out IRL, it would make them easier to locate if you can see them in-game too.

So you get pasta free and soup and breadsticks
But you gotta pay for drinks and tip.

This. It’s ridiculous to compare the veggie burgers to a plain beef patty. Nobody I know eats them plain. They add all kinds of seasonings, with sodium and sugar and fat. The veggie burgs come pre-seasoned. If that’s how they compare to plain beef patty, they are way ahead by the time you actually eat the burger.

My wife’s a vegetarian. This is the first fake burger that you could give me and I wouldn’t know. Beyond is close but Impossible wins. It’s really hard to sell the concept to non-believers, but this is just as good as beef.

That’s what I was thinking. My girlfriend is vegetarian, which makes me mostly vegetarian by default. She isn’t evangelical about it, she’s down to eat anything, she just became a vegetarian because it seemed like an easy way to cut down on her carbon footprint and such. My takeaways from semi-vegetarianism though are

I eat them for deliciousness reasons

Is anyone eating these for nutrition reasons though? Isn’t it mostly environmental and ethical reasons? 

My first thought was “WTF were they thinking?!”

Hell, my wife’s ex came to our wedding. I didn’t know him that well but I knew her and that was all I needed to know.
