Just the logistics of “tearing a steak with your teeth” seem unpleasant/unwieldy unless there’s some exceptional culinary acumen on display here.

Since I really don’t want to open the windows I think I’m going to do this in a pot on a single burner induction cooktop I can plug in outdoors.  Now I just have to check which of my saucepans are magnetic.

When I had my wisdom teeth removes I also had to be put under anesthetic. First thing I did upon waking up was “stand straight up and run into the opposite wall” at which point I fell down and drooled blood all over my white shirt.

I think the important thing is that the hypothetical “Timberwolves Hotdish Hat” is not a ballcap but something warm you can wear in the winter, like a PolarTec Fleece Beanie.

I’m glad it’s “select cities” since a Timberwolves hat with an image of hot dish on it would be the saddest thing I owned.

Still no leafy green cruciferous vegetable emoji?

As a Minnesotan who has voted for Amy Klobuchar a bunch of times, and someone who is interested in and somewhat knowledgeable about food, I have to say that I hate hot dish. I have yet to encounter one where one could not rearrange the same ingredients in a better way... unless it’s like a roundabout way to create a…

Now living next door to North Dakota, I’m pretty sure “keeping cold in the winter” is pretty easy but I am intrigued as to the best way to do it.

I think it makes some sense because it’s New York. You’ve got a lot of famous people and people who have a lot of money and you wouldn’t want to turn away ones you have a pre-existing relationship with. Plus no one has a lot of space so a lot of people eat out a lot.

As I understand it- at Rao’s all of the tables are reserved for regulars and their guests. In the event that one of them just doesn’t show up that night, you can get in as a regular person but that’s not a thing you can make a reservation for.

My concern was it’s just going to come out really different if I do red and yellow bell peppers than if I pick out some pretty orange habaneros.

The joke is that this is the sort of thing that you will only ever learn in graduate school for pure (non-applied) mathematics once you get beyond the “taking classes” part of your post-graduate education and into the “just reading books and talking to people who already understand the material” part of your…

It’s like they don’t even teach Model Theory in schools anymore.  Oh wait...

How do I know if I’m overhydrated? I drink water as a nervous habit, so I usually drink 6-8 litres in a day (just keep filling up that Nalgene bottle).

It’s interesting to me that Moby Dick is so loathed. Certainly it’s a long book, and you kind of have to be in the right mood for it... but the same could be said of the beloved Brothers Karamazov (which is nearly twice as long). Is the difference just that “Moby Dick is considered appropriate fare for high school…

What are some examples of”colorful peppers” if I was acquiring them from a grocery store in a frigid icy place and not a beautiful Caribbean island? 

Are you still taking pie questions?  Most of the time when I blind bake a pie crust, I have the fluted edge flush with the lip of the pan, but it ends up slumping in the oven.  Do I need to add more pie weights (I use pennies), or just let the gluten relax more?

I’m just going to stand my ground on “Gold on food is gauche”.   A garnish that isn’t actually food or something that enhances taste has no place on the plate- ever.  If I go to a restaurant and anything comes with gold leaf on it, I’m leaving.

In the last couple weeks I have learned that there exist both a “Foodgod” and a “Salt Bae”. I wonder what wonders horrors I’m going to discover next.

I just realized- trying to bake cookies in space is almost exactly “attempting to bake cookies sous vide”.
