I’m glad to see that you found an actual funnel cake recipe. For some reason, Food Network has had multiple personalities flogging the idea that funnel cakes are deep-fried pâte à choux (Alton Brown, I’m blaming you for starting that ridiculous idea). The idea that carnies were making enormous batches of choux paste…

You can easily buy aleppo pepper via Amazon, but I get mine from The Spice House in Evanston (it’s just down the road from my house).

Every molecule of H2O that you ingest, be it from drinks, food, breathing humid air, some of the water you get in your nose when you swim, etc. hydrates you. A normal diet, eating and drink pretty much what you feel like, will completely satisfy your hydration needs. No one who is otherwise healthy is walking around…

I know Mike (from Mike’s Hot Honey) a little and that recipe is off. Hot Honey generally has some vinegar in it - Mike got the idea from a Brazilian condiment that he ate a lot when he lived in Brazil.

You could potentially substitute white miso for both the salt and the MSG.

The leaves (methi) are good as well - same maple-y flavor. I use them in Indian cookery.

The first hit is always free. ;)

I know, right?

Hating on Kreme? Oh Allison...

That’s also Cook’s Illustrated’s (and/or Kenji Lopez-Alt’s) method for faster caramelizing - add a kit of water every couple of minutes. Helps the onions break down faster and distributes the caramelized bits. Good technique!

(Add a pinch of baking soda at the start and it goes even faster. Baking soda enhanced…

Oh God, it’s Marnie’s “suck on a KitKat until its mush” take again! ;)

Pretty easy order for me -

Reese’s - It’s the OG best - salty, peanutty, chocolatey. Nothing distracts from it’s immediate salt / peanut / chocolate impact. Also one of the few brands whose line extensions are pretty uniformly good - in fact, the…

I’ve eaten at Arnold’s a number of times and given the sheer volume of lobster they go through, it doesn’t surprise me at all that they keep finding rare ones. (Seriously, in the summer, traffic backs up on the highway for a mile or so to get in - the serve a LOT of lobster rolls and those rolls are huge. Get the…

It needs pearl sugar, because then you end up with a discount Liège waffle, which is the best waffle.

tough kids, sissy kids, kids who climb on rocks

Are they though? Are they?

The Beefy was called Gravy Bread at the stands I went to. Also, if available, always choose garlic bread. Always. Always.

I assumed you wanted to mute a conversation I happened to be in and ended up muting me (I’ve done it - Twitter UI is lousy). No worries!

Realized you might not see my original comment if you aren’t tracking non-”The Dress” comments, so reposting here...

So, I think I must’ve gotten muted on Twitter (what did I do? I apologize!) but the reflected light seems to be the difference.

My local big box grocery stores carry it too - Mariano’s, Target, Kroger. I think even Walmart carries it.
