So this then is the Sip of Theseus.

I assume the fireworks would be to get the drivers attention. BUT.....it would be really awesome if they did setup fireworks to trigger every time someone hit the bridge. Kind of like a homer during the playoffs or something.  A couple of big sparkly fountains on each side, lots of rockets and concussions.  

I like creamy except if I’m pairing it with jam.

You can pick up a Motocompo for about $3500. Is this one really worth $11,500 more just because it comes in its original packaging?

You could also just by real frozen/refrigerated puff pastry instead of Pillsbury crescent rolls. Most stores have that.

mmm, delish...

Here’s a hack: When you first get up in the morning, try peeing half in the toilet, half on the floor. It’s a great way to wake up!

I hated brussels sprouts as a kid but I think it’s because my parents (and most parents) just boiled them. As an adult I revisited them roasted and maybe it’s just because my tastes changed but I fell in love with them. Still pretty sure they’re bad boiled. With few exceptions, boiled vegetables are useless.

heh. It’s like your staff is packed entirely with fussy 5-year-olds. Gwen, does the guy who used to “eat things (bananas???) for the first time” still work for the company? 

Oh God help us when my grandfather would find a way to get fresh durian and he’d parade it around the house in a lap of honor, just in case there was a corner of the house that didn’t smell like his beloved Bangkok klongs. I’m sure it’s not the ONLY reason my grandparents slept in separate rooms, but it probably

Posts like these make me think of how fortunate I am that —barring a few foods like papaya and durian where the scent triggers my gag reflex beyond any supression— as long as it’s well-prepared, I’m pretty much down for whatever.

My lame superpower is that I pretty much like all food items and pretty much every type of cuisine I’ve ever had.

Cereal milk. I will never understand people who drink the milk out of the bottom of the cereal bowl, that is disgusting and gross. Same with dipping cookies in milk — I enjoy that on the cookie, but I sure as hell am not drinking the milk after.

not french either, and the only thing the french know about coffee is how to charge more for serving it (with a snooty attitude) outside

Yeah, no, Dunkin Donuts coffee is disgusting. It’s so damn sour.

Oh, we use those little stovetop Mokas—seriously, I have them in 4 different sizes—and he ships us the Goppion coffee.

i must be in an alternate universe because every DD coffee I’ve had is watery dribble

not italian but seriously you got a weird president, the biggest debt in history which basically means china owns you and a crumbling infrastructure. So who are you kidding

You are wrong on this.
