One of these decades I’m going to finish the last PS1 game (Rhapsody: a Musical Adventure) in my backlog. Then I can move on to finishing out generation 6.

I’ve found the only real downside of the salmiak licorice is that after you eat enough of them, they start to taste like cat pee smells.  I guess that’s a built-in moderation effect.

I do not know Mr. Ashbach, but I can be confident in the knowledge that he is an assweasel.  “I didn’t read the fine print, so now I’m suing you” isn’t a good look in any context, but when the fine print concerns “benefits for restaurant employees” it’s an especially bad one.

I would have rather had Secret Recipe Tots, TBH.  But my preferred “fast food fried potato” is the Potato Olé from Taco John’s.

Can I at least dual wield them to pay tribute to a fantastic Dr. John album?

As someone for whom Bracssica oleracea is near and dear to my heart, the mishandling of kale when it was trendy was just tragic. The appeal of kale is that it requires less cooking to make edible than things like collard greens, so it’s handy if you’re in a hurry. This does not, however, mean that you’re not supposed…

Well, servers do put out a lot of heat which is bad for the electronics, so those server rooms tend to be cooled pretty aggressively.

I feel like Dragon Age 2 is a classic example of “people are bad at explaining why they like or dislike something.” The complaint you heard from everyone was “recycled assets” (which TBH made a lot of sense since you hung around in a lot of the same places even if it was a bit overdone), but ultimately the reason I…

I just can’t see a breakfast pile with a base layer of pancakes being all that appealing or fun to eat. Now if we’re talking potatoes, we’re going somewhere. Maybe Waffle House should open a fast casual alternative.

I mean, I just like saying something without actually having to say anything.  I’d rather just sneak it in (which is difficult!) and have people wonder “who on earth brought *that*?”

It blow my mind that in 2019 there are still people who think MSG is bad, instead of thinking it is delicious. I mean, it’s not something you want to eat a bowl of, but the same can be said of salt or sugar.

When in doubt, a croquembouche because I like to bake and I like to show off quietly.   But if there’s a specific hole in the menu, I’ll fill it with the most elaborate thing available.  I’ll honestly enjoy my time at home deboning the turkey, rubbing the meat with an herb paste and forming it into two cylinders of…

Should we also do away with the soy sauce packets you get with Chinese takeout?  Or the salsa packets at Taco Bell?  It seems like these are all the same question.

Feels like “if you have people who are different from you around, they will notice things that you don’t” is the sort of useful advice that can be had for free.

If it comes down to “who lies constantly and readily as part of their job” I’m enormously more likely to trust a Barista than a Cop.

I’m pretty sure it’s mostly “it’s sufficiently heavy that you feel gross if you drink it any time other than the coldest part of the year.”  So it’s appropriate for all of your winter holidays.

I mean, I’m trying on twitter but teens frighten me.

How is it that even though you’ve now got 12 different bowl options with a variety of floral patterns, they still don’t have a nice dark green color option?

I was planning on making prime rib for Xmas, so I had better plan ahead.

Could we do a pop-tart with a “hot mustard” or “beer cheese” core? I’d be more interested in a purely savory pretzel pop-tart.
