One of the best tips I ever got was to not try to “cube” potatoes, as you’ll never get them the same size due to the vagaries of shape and size.

Eat Just (aka Hampton Creek) started out making vegan eggs and mayonnaise, so in this case, the egg came before the chicken.

I was all out of boiling water in a can. Now my sherbet is all melted and I’ve got some super-thick gelled lemon juice...

You can walk in with me, pick what you want and then we go together to the checkout. It shouldn’t be a problem. Let me know.

The URL is “recipe-3-ingredient-orange-sherbet-jello-mold” but the recipe is for four ingredients. Your SEO search team is lying, lying I say! 😉

Can’t say for sure, but they sell packs of little pot de cremes that are surprisingly tasty, plus you get “free” porcelain ramekins.

That kid is not smiling for canned vegetable omelette. It’s a lie!

Yeah, from a quick glance over the abstract, this is a kind of garbage study in that it is purely correlational - they don’t have any theory of the mechanism for alternatively sweetened beverages (ASBs) causing heart disease. Given that it wasn’t even for a specific sweetener (aspartame, stevia, sucralose, whatever),…

Yeah, I know, but a CANZUK deal has been talked a lot separately from an overall Commonwealth trade deal. CANZUK could have freedom of movement as well as free trade, so it felt appropriate to list them separately (sorry, NZ, but you seem the least interested in CANZUK).

Is “fleeced” code for the Grimace Grope? 😉

That Brexit has been an implementation nightmare is undoubtedly true. I’m not sure it was a good idea at all (I’m not British, although I have a number of British friends, mostly Remainers). But free trade deals are notoriously difficult even when both sides want one. Britain has been in serious discussions with the…

I followed the actual Brexit arguments pretty closely. While there was a nativist element to some of it, it wasn’t primarily racial, it was immigration from lower-income “white” countries. The “Polish plumber” was the main nativist complaint, not refugees (although Germany’s unilateral decision to accept a million…

In your Hamburglar erotic fan-fic, does the original Grimace (a four-armed bad guy) figure in at all? The guy is a walking, talking MeToo gropefest manifested in puppet form!

No, but not because we would have looked down our nose at that. There was some sort of melted Velveeta one on top of something, maybe sauerkraut?

Avocado toast will go away? So, there’s no downside at all to Brexit, then... 😉

One of the main drivers of Brexit was that Britain wanted more free and global trade and had been frustrated for decades with the protectionist tilt of the EU. They couldn’t even have free trade with their Commonwealth partners (Australia couldn’t get in!).

My family comes from Wisconsin and the use of cocktail rye as a platform for all sorts of finger food at get-togethers is a core tenet of Wisconsinism. Eating raw meat is pretty common too - it’s all that Northern European background.

I can simultaneously believe that Colin Kaepernick does some good work on various social issues and also that he was a bad quarterback who probably would be out of the NFL regardless of his activism. Kaepernick was benched and cut for being worse than Blaine Gabbart, who has been benched and cut by more teams than you…
