Just because one time I told him that supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical public relations campaign.

Food for Extreme Pleasure. They even highlight the X.

This is food for f***ing.

Maybe Heinz will release Currychup here. (It already exists in Germany)

Why does the King love his Italian subjects more than his American ones?

Steeling yourself for Bush’s second term?

Yeah, commercial fryolators are set to stay at a specific (generally high) temperature. My point about starting in cold oil is that there is a home kitchen hack for decent single-fry french fries that starts the potatoes in cold oil. As the oil heat, the potatoes “blanche” in the warming liquid and once the oil comes…

Well-done just means a longer single fry. The problem is the single fry.

Spangler’s also makes the greatest nostalgia candy of all time - orange colored, banana flavored, peanut shaped, marshmallow Circus Peanuts.

Culver’s has custard, cheese curds and better burgers. The fries at both places suck for different reasons (In-N-Out are fresh cut but not blanched, Culver’s uses frozen crinkle cut fries, i.e., the worst kind of fries).

In-N-Out fries suck not because they are fresh cut but because they are fried once. Look at any guide to making good fries and every single one requires the fries to be blanched at a lower temperature (to cook the starch properly) and then fried at a higher temperature for crispness. There are one-fry hacks that start…

Black cardamom is used a bunch in South Asian cuisine, so there’s always that (I originally bought it for making dishes out of the Dishoom cookbook, which I highly, highly recommend).

But I’ve taken to crushing a couple of pods and adding it stocks and stews - it’s one of those subtle things (like bay leaf) that…

I noticed that Alton Brown has updated his own chocolate syrup recipe (take THAT, Cocoa Carl!) to include black cardamom. Having recently discovered the joy of black cardamom (add it to your stock pot folks), I must give it a try. Maybe I’lll combine the two recipes - the butter and brown sugar from yours, the black…

Back in the day, I had that soundtrack on repeat. I wasn’t a huge soundtrack guy (regardless of the genre of music) but that one slapped.

Butter on Club crackers - even if the side soup you got with your meal disappoints, Club crackers slathered with butter will make you feel better.

Ironically, “Dalgona coffee” is itself an appropriation - it’s called “hand whipped coffee” in Macau and is not “inspired by Korean culture” - it simply became insanely popular there due to the mukbang craze and then traveled around the world.

I’m popularly known as The Fat Magnet

Gotta get a caffeine patch!

You aren’t missing much. Jeni’s gets a lot of love and they have very cool parlors and flavors, but I find the actual ice cream itself to be kind of meh.

Are we simply ignoring the fact that the guy’s name is “Horn Weasel”?

I was attempting to make a very simple point that seems to have been lost in statistical haze, which is my fault.
