I have long believed that one of the reasons Jell-O caught on was that previously in history “something suspended in gelatin” was only the sort of thing that fancy people who had a kitchen staff could have, since it involved boiling bones for hours at a time to get the gelatin out.  Aspics have been around since like…

Really, the one they should drop is the Eggnog Latte. Don’t get me wrong, I l love eggnog and am passionate about it. But eggnog is not a thing that should be heated.  If you want something that’s like eggnog, but hot, what you want is a Tom and Jerry (which is put together in a different way.)

Less my “achilles heel” and more my “white whale” is the recreation of the 1966 Pillsbury Bake-Off winner “the Tunnel of Fudge” cake.  The original recipe requires an ingredient that is no longer produced, but there are many recreations, none of which I have pulled off to my satisfaction.  That this is a huge, rich…

I’m inclined to trust the biologists that harvesting apex predators who take a long time to grow to maturity is not a great idea no matter how ethical the fisherpeople are.

Counterpoint: dril.

I have paid virtually no attention to “who the Victoria’s Secret models are” in my life and I’m also unfamiliar with John Legend, but his tweets are also good.

Sometimes I think about how if I were to travel back even 100 years in time, and give someone a single stick of Trident Tropical Twist gum, that would be the most mind-blowingly flavor packed thing that person would ever experience.

Chrissy Teigen is a person who I have absolutely no clue why she’s famous, but her tweets are good so I’m just going to assume it’s related to that.

Fundamentally I think what he’s getting at is “Marvel Movies are not highbrow” (how could they be, they’re the most popular things out there?) and “we should not treat them as if they were the height of culture.” Or to paraphrase Film Crit Hulk- “Pornography gives you what you want, whereas Art gives you what you…

So I’ve never been high personally, but I had imagined that Thumper would be exactly the sort of game I’d want to play while high.  Well, that or Street Fighter.

I guess some people might want some Panopticon with their pancakes.

Well, the secret incredient is the herb.

While the Twin Cities aren’t bereft of donuts, the outer ring suburbs certainly are.  Which, I guess that’s just what you get when you live in Edina or wherever and only shop at chains.

I still have this one:

I hope he sticks with it.  A lot of celebrity restaurants fold because the titular celebrity just doesn’t care to bear on despite the travails of the business.

Grad school- I decided I’d rather stay home and hand out candy than go out and collect it.

I vaguely remember being dragged to the Dayton’s Sky Room as a youth, by my mom who was attending some event or another.  I think I had the meatloaf.

Peanut butter and spicy brown mustard.  You try things when wilderness camping with a limited pantry, and some of these will surprise you.

The ICE guy’s claim of “discrimination” rings hollow since all of those people could just quit their jobs, for example, because they found them unethical or abhorrent.  “Just following orders” does not have a strong track record of absolution, after all.

One thing about those brown butter chocolate cookies- they are the perfect chocolate chip cookies to deliver to someone else.  I once mailed someone a batch and he ate them all in one day and got really sick.  That ranks on my “proudest moments as a baker.”
