1, 2, Tactics, the tabletop game, New Vegas. Probably that terrible BOS game too.

“Bombs Drop Event”

I’m not sure there’s any restaurant that has a drive-thru that I’d be willing to wait like >15 minutes for what they serve.  But in the beforetime I didn’t like the drive thru much, to be honest.

I’ve thought about marketing “instant gumbo” that is basically just deeply toasted flour, that you mix with liquid into a slurry that you then add to your stew to thicken it.

All fruits are fine.

It feels like the salvageable idea here is “pasta, held together with sauce and cheese, coated in breadcrumbs, and served on a bun like a patty.” He describes the pasta he wants to use as “like a girl’s hair bun”so I might consider those little tagliatelle nests. The sugar seems totally out of place.

Losing your mind because you want ice cream seems like a more plausible scenario in a disaster where people don’t have working freezers and can’t go to the grocery store. I’ve seen runs on weird stuff at the local grocers, but there’s always been ice cream available.

I think the best candidates for a “food with a holiday” would be “things which are delicious, but are kind of a pain to make”. So you would like to eat them more often than you are prepared to make them, and thus the holiday gives you the excuse of “well, now I’m going to make eclairs because it’s a holiday and that’s…

I’m allergic to shellfish, but I’d rather eat a murder hornet than a sea bug.

If you read the regulations, the big one is that you can’t have anything that gives your “process cheese” the flavor of cheese other than “cheese”. Which is a dead giveaway to what all the other ones are like.

Snoop

I imagine this is going to have the same problem I had with the dalgona coffee- it’s hard to drink something that is whipped thoroughly on top of something that’s pretty much just liquid- you tip the glass back and the milk finds its way through a crevice and then you’re left with a bunch of the whipped stuff and…

This feels like the sort of thing that wouldn’t be that hard to make at home. Getting the right level of sweetness or the sauce would take some trial and error, but Sicilian style pizza crust is not a mystery and we know how to put salami and green peppers on pizza. The trick for the cheese will to be to get good…

Assassin’s Creed started with a bizarre science fiction ancient aliens premise, has a conceit that memories are somehow encoded in DNA, and has gone towards the straight up magical in recent iterations (like you can fight an honest to goodness Minotaur in Odyssey.)  Anybody who complains about woman Vikings in…

I wonder if the “Mongolian Barbecue” (which is not remotely Mongolian, but I digress) model could persist.  You’ve still got the problem of “everybody uses the same tongs for the chicken” but you pick up a bowl, fill it with stuff, then take it to the station where someone cooks it for you.  If you wash your hands…

I mean, I live in this part of the woods and I have seen a lake scene that looks kind of like the image on the wrapper many times. I have never seen a woman of any ethnicity kind of levitating in the foreground.

It seems improbable that Chipotle would be worse at “not poisoning people” than even the absolute seediest of neighborhood taquerias, but here we are.

You can improve on their technique. For the meatballs, you’ll want to add the pork, aromatics, and spices (add some brown sugar, allspice, and nutmeg for a more authentic swedish meatball) then beat until pale. In another bowl, combine the milk and the breadcrumbs and let sit until the breadcrumbs are totally…

If I don’t pick the spoon does that mean that I can never use spoons?  Like am I going to have to eat the soup I make with my skillet and knife with a fork?

Not a weird purchase per se, but 4 weeks ago at Target I bought a half-ham thinking “well it will keep until Easter if nothing else.” I prepared it yesterday, and when you buy a spiral ham it always comes with a “glaze packet” which I will traditionally throw in the garbage as I make my own glaze.
