So I have no idea what the pizza at Chuck E. Cheese is like now, since they don’t let adults without children in (for obvious reasons.)  But if I wanted to if Applebee’s is currently less disappointing than it has always been, I could have (pre-pandemic) just gone there.

I have a 10 pound bag of dry pinto beans that I haven’t opened because of the unwieldiness of the 10 pound bag of beans when most recipes are calibrated for the handy 1 lb bags you see at the stores.

I feel like, at least during a global pandemic, there is a moral imperative not to present “solutions” that actually do nothing useful, and indeed fundamentally cultivate a false sense of security.

Listen all of y’all- this is arbitrage.

This approach is going to work fine for like 95% of the dialogue in the game, but you’re really going to miss things like “Kris Kristoffferson’s performance as Hanlon” and “Wayne Newton as Mr. New Vegas.”  I wonder if either is on cameo.

The tortilla is made from scratch, so it’s both crispy and tender so you can break off a portion.  Sort of like the “triplelupa” from Taco Bell, but actually good.

The taqueria nearest to me sells something called “the Machete”. As you can tell from the picture, it does not travel well. I’d get the al pastor.

I’m wondering, legitimately, are what point it’s more sensible to just cut bait and stop paying people to work on the game, just have them do something else. Like I can’t imagine that there’s anything they can do to Anthem that would make me more excited to play it than “a new Dragon Age game” or “a new Mass Effect”…

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…
