I would have thought “around State Fair” time would have been corn dog season.

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.

The fundamental problem with making the movies about John, and not Sarah is that even if we take “John Connor is the only person who can lead the Resistance” as we’re told, none of the movies that were about John actually presented anything special about him that would recommend him for the job.   

Really, the only misstep was Solo, whose main problem was “a Han Solo prequel that resolves every single mystery about the character” was a fundamentally unnecessary thing to have.  It made the Star Wars universe smaller, not bigger.

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.

I think Cabin in the Woods hasn’t aged that well, since the choice to “blow everything up instead of choosing the lesser evil” plays a lot differently in 2019 than it did in 2012.

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