I have a friend whose old Greek mother calls a microwave a “microwaven,” which I guess is a portmanteau of “microwave oven” and, combined with the very thick greek accent in a high pitched voice, just SLAYS me.

Any chinese market (and most asian markets) will have some variety. I’ve even seen them in mexican groceries. Basically they look like this:

Does “dried fruit” include my favorite asian snack: dried, salted plums? They are SO salty and sour my mouth waters just thinking about them. But so so good.

She deserves to never again live in a world where some gross old dude is NOT farting in the seat next to her.

Didn’t know Burger King sold snowballs...

Unfortunately my kid’s birthday coincided with election day, and if that weren’t bad enough I had to go to the bakery to pick up a cake. I hadn’t been to a bakery in a while since the shutdowns, but the line was INSANE. I don’t know if it was normally like that but people were definitely eating their feelings.

My school cafeteria used to serve those in little paper cups the size you’d get pills in from a psych ward, or ketchup from a fast food restaurant. Never liked them because they weren’t quite a chip, but also were not fries. But you ate them anyway because they were crunchy and salty.

I was always turned off by figs by the... grittiness. This doesn’t help

I generally don’t like smart appliances, save for my thermostat and front door lock. The door lock is batter powered and still has a key option. I enjoy going for a run and not having to take a phone or keys with me and just use my watch or the keypad to get in. Granted if I’m home alone and no one else is inside,…

Yeah, I find mild cheeses pretty pointless, to be honest. But isn’t french Munster a totally different animal than american Muenster? When I went to my cheesemonger years ago, I asked him for the stinkiest, most offensive, most flavorful cheese they had, and they recommended this french Munster. My wife got home and…

The main selling point of American Munster for me IS the fact that is a very good melting cheese. I don’t mind if, but I never buy it. But if I’m at a cookout and the option for cheeseburgers is Munster, i ain’t complaining.

I consider myself something of a cheese puff connoisseur, and I must say I am disappointed by your reaction to the Simply Cheetos White Cheddar puffs. On my refined cheese puff palette, they are prettttty damn good and have a more unique flavor profile, without, as you point out, the lingering cheese-powder fingers,…

Didn’t watch the video, because I don’t want to find out that the strategy is not to vigorously sneeze on any anti-maskers food right in front of them.

I’ve also seen nicer places make kids portions of regular menu items. Which is also pretty good if you just want a taste of something. There’s definitely been instances where I’ve ordered a kid’s sized nice ribeye sandwich or something for the kid, and ordered a mac and cheese “for the kid” (myself).

One of the best part of having kids is the insane amount of chicken fingers, mac and cheese, and buttered pasta I can order “for the kids” at all restaurants. 

I think you may be right about the scenario, especially given that the lowest price point is $250. Though I’m a middle class adult now, I’ve never gone over like $200 for a wedding gift. Whether it’s a complete stranger coworker of my spouse or my own brother, $100-200 is the hard-set range I’m working on for wedding…

I was out walking to the star during a day when the AQI was like 250, wearing two masks--my normal Covid mask, and and an additional N95 mask for the smoke--and not only did I pass people sitting outside crappy bars drinking and eating, I passed an obese woman walking down the street, no mask, smoking a cigarette. I’m…

If anyone’s a “Libertarian” in the Arrowverse, I think we all know its Damien Darhk.

I wish they just sold the hunks of roast beef. Since the pandemic started found a grocery that sells all kinds of deli meats in uncut blocks. I’ve pressed “add to cart” about a dozen times on home meat slicers. This would definitely push me over the edge. As it is, every time i’m about to order, I look at my kids’…

Just give me the onion roll and a huge vat of cheddar sauce and I will go home happy and never leave the house again.
