I’ve lost a deep endgame cookie clicker save on two separate occasions.  I take this as a sign from the gods that it’s time to stop playing cookie clicker.

I’m definitely that “I’ll take all the veggies that don’t cost extra” (except olives) person, regardless of what the sandwich is.  I have probably made some enemies at Subway.

Hello there! I just will probably wait for the Series X/S to get cheaper though.

“People with power over you will abuse that power when it suits them, given the opportunity” seems like a reasonable lesson to introduce your kids to at an age where the downside is just “less candy”.

What flavor is “Republican” just a lack of flavor?  Maybe “substitute salt for sugar”?

I think the thing about breakfast foods is that they need to be relatively quick to prepare. Sure, you could eat the leftover lasagna but since “leftovers” can be consumed at any time at all, we shouldn’t consider them part of the breakfast/lunch/dinner canon.

I like candy corn, but it’s a thing you leave in a dish in the house in the fall not like “a thing you get trick or treating.”

Never have, never will.  I started with an Atari 2600 and the only console I have even paid full price for is the Wii since those things were scarce for a long time.

I feel like all questions of the form “is there anybody who likes x” are either obvious and do not need to be asked (e.g. is there anybody who likes black licorice) or involve finding out things you really don’t want to know.

Restaurateurs.

I have absolutely put cinnamon sticks in the cavity of a turkey, so that flavor works with turkey.  Ginger more or less pairs with any meat, it’s a flavor that works well with savory things.  Allspice is paired with savory things in nordic cuisine, caribbean cusine, and a lot of of other ones.  Nutmeg is tricky, but…

I am officially an old person because “small bags of yogurt covered raisins in various flavors” sounds great to me. I mean, it’s not far from Raisinets, which are a perfectly cromulent halloween candy.

The important component is booze. Aged eggnogs start with raw eggs and gradually sterilize them over time by keeping them in an environment that is sufficiently alcoholic that it eventually becomes entirely sterile.

Costume Quest really is delightful.  I play it every year on Halloween to try to recapture the feeling of a kid at Halloween.

I’m a nog conoisseur, I make several variants of it every year (the aged variety is my gold standard). One year my eldest brother had heard of the fireball+nog thing and brought a bottle and a carton to the holiday festivities and proceeded to serve a truly awful pink concoction. One hopes this is better.

People need to stop going to places.

I voted a week ago and stopped to get some McNuggets on the way home.

Edible Gold: a clear sign that wherever you are eating, you should go somewhere else and not come back here.

“Food that’s good for you is pretty expensive” and “food that’s cheap and easy to prepare is generally pretty bad for you” doesn’t seem like a hard thing to understand.

I once got Bon Appetit for a year for free from my garbage company for some reason, and I couldn’t abide by the fact that it was >50% ads (I guess that’s why it was free). Is the Food Network magazine similarly encumbered with advertising? I’m a long time Cooks Illustrated subscriber, so maybe my tolerance for…
