So they’re wild (about) oats.

Does either AV Club or The Takeout intend on reviewing this season at all?

But that lack of confidence could hurt the chef when it comes to a team challenge. I’d like Sara to advance to the top 4, but I’m nervous she’ll be out on the back half of episodes, from either second guessing something she’s not familiar with or getting bowled over by another headstrong chef.

I can’t wait to reach the final level, where you share your homebrew with your friends and ask for criticism, only for everyone to agree “it’s good. You should open a brewery” and offer no other opinions on the beer.

There’s a great Not Another D&D Podcast segment where they discuss someone eating an entire rotisserie chicken during a D&D Session. It starts at 20:36 in this link

I’d never consider eating anything while playing something involving holding a controller or using a keyboard.

Over christmas last year, I did this with my daughter as we made gingerbread cookies. The bake time was all off (as expected), and with gingerbread, it’s really tough to tell, since you can’t see if it’s browning or not. But it was still a lot of fun. 

I’m more partial to the warm lobster roll as well, but when I made them at home, I’ll always do the cold one (with a homemade aioli), as that’s easier to make for multiple people. So it’s rare that I get a warm one, but when I do, it’s absolute heaven.

Not really an answer to the question asked, but when I was in Italy 6 or 7 years ago, I bought a 30 year aged balsamic vinegar for, I think, $120 euro (so, around $150 US). I’ve barely cracked a dent in it, because there is only a very tiny difference between that and the reduced balsamic vinegar syrups you can buy…

For the 10 lbs of crab... how does that ship? Is it picked meat, or the full thing? Is it frozen? Do you freeze what you don’t use? 

My local supermarket has parmigiano-reggiano, with the branded on wording on the rind and all. It’s sometimes extremely cheaply priced (around $8/lb, instead of the $20/lb typically seen), and it tastes like ABSOLUTE CRAP. I can swear you can taste the wood pulp. I will never get it from there again. There’s a whole…

Looks like it was pulled (or maybe it was accidentally released early). For now, a trailer is all I can find.

I sat through the full first episode just to verify it was actually going the supernatural route, but yeah, I gave up on this once I realized it was just a procedural show. It’s definitely not my cup of tea. 

When my dishwasher doesn’t fully dry the dishes, I threaten him or her with termination of employment. But usually I leave these duties to the head butler or head housemaid. One gets lost identifying the roles of their staff’s responsibility, you know. 

Well this guy certainly seems to love hearing himself talk, as well as talking about himself.

Human, or other?

When I was 9, my older brother and I spent the full summer with my grandparents in Dominican Republic. One night we were having leftovers, and one of the things we were having were habichuelas guisadas (stewed red beans). Well, in DR, some of the cockroaches are about the same size and color as those stewed beans. Ask…

He looks like a pinkie that you ran inside a used coffee filter. 

I’m sure we can pinpoint the exact area of the assembly line where this happened. It was the crust station. 

No lie, my toddler loves floss. But she just bites it, since it’s mint flavored.
