This is shameful, but I legit thought that photo of Nicki was you for a fraction of a second. (I don't really recognize her instantly as I am an Old Blob of a person.) I'm glad you put that disclaimer in.

I think it's pretty apt. Also, now I need something with paneer in it for dinner.

Same here! I was at a family party dancing with some fella who asked me how old I was. I replied "Fourteen" and he looked really shocked: "You're FORTY?!". When I clarified that I was fourteen, he scuttled off - I was massively confused at the time ("Why doesn't he like meeeee?") but in retrospect I'm like "high…

I'm just impressed they aren't 13 year olds. One of my friends knows this girl, who is like 16 now and works as a professional model. She started modeling when she was 13 and my friend once showed me some of her photo shoots. Granted, she looks older than I do (I'm 20 with a baby face) but she has the body of an…

When can I expect lard replicas of cauliflower to be hitting the shelves?

Also, I feel like the Midwest has had a lock on the whole "everything is meat" game for a while, so it's nice to see other areas getting in on the action.

Just don't ever ask me to eat ground-up spiders.

I'm picturing in my mind right now, the beekeeper riding in on his trusty stallion. He tips his hat back slightly, (one of those Australian ones that had the ring of corks hanging on stings around the brim, of course), squints at all the bees and says, "Looks like you have a bit of a bee problem.".

"Command, this is Condor. It's a bad situation here. I'm gonna need a beekeeper and a tanker truck of Sweet Baby Ray's."

No, don't you see? He's adding to the magic. Because a bee vacuum could go in reverse. In a tense situation, the beekeeper throws the switch... and has a bee bee gun.

At least they aren't WASPS.

Oh, I can never keep track of all the styles. North Carolina has tomato sauce, South Carolina is mustard and vinegar, Texas is all about sweet sauces, now which kind comes with bees?

I love this headline I love that tag I love this story.

meanwhile, at guy's american kitchen & bar:

Just let me live in wonder, damn you. *mumblegrumble fucking science people and their compulsive need to explain shit whether you want them to or not grumblemumble*

Stop ruining the magic of the moment, Charles. Let me live in wonder.

Bees are regularly transported for agriculture. They pollinate. The farmer basically rents some beehives during the appropriate time for their crop. The cranberry bogs behind my house bring in a few hives every summer to maximize pollination and thus maximize their berry crop.
