I will never install an app in order to buy coffee, or tacos, or groceries.

Perhaps I don’t really understand big manufacturing, but it feels like “ginger” is not especially expensive and that you could afford to put more of it in.

Would “freeze the whole batch” be a reasonable thing? I’m not really functional in the morning, and can only really be summoned to the kitchen out of frustration (like when other people don’t know how to poach an egg.)

The best ratio of taste to pain-in-the-butt is like the 10-15 pound range anyway.

I mean, to be honest any time of day I would rather eat a meatball sub than “stuffed cheesecake french toast” or “tres leches pancakes” or “churro waffles.”

I’m not really a breakfast person. My favorite breakfast spot, when I would go places and eat there, my favorite breakfast order was rice, beans, eggs, and red chile braised pork.  My personal opinion is that the standard western breakfast canon skews way too sweet.  So I would kind of like to order off the lunch menu…

The problem is “eight steps” is too many steps when I want breakfast.  If I’m wide awake and ready to cook, I know of like eight ways to poach an egg, but the coffee takes a while to start working.

Man, the political of that whole Southern Caucasus region is really complex and fraught with peril (in large parts because it was used in a proxy war for centuries), if I were a large multinational corporation I would not want to take a stand there.

I would imagine that the dog toy is clearly parodic in nature.  I know a lot of people over the years have sued MAD magazine but I hope we’d have gotten this out of our system.

I’m in month 8 of “never leaving the home except to reprovision or walk the dog” so I really don’t want to be shamed for what’s in my pantry.

What I want out of a “McDonalds breakfast” is the egg cylinder cooked in the ring mold for the McMuffin.  Is that so hard to make an all day thing?  I’m sure it would be fine on a hamburger or chicken sandwich.

I give away Pearson’s Salted Nut Rolls and Swedish Fish solely for the novelty bonus. The kids aren’t going to get 2 of those in their bag, unless they just take two of mine.

So the culinary anthropological role of pie is- what do you do with fruit, which is delicious, but isn’t like “the best and most aesthetically appealing” and you want to use it up before it rots, if not make pie.  I would guess that “pie” being part of a culinary identity is more to do with “availability of large…

TV is really a better place for Assassin’s Creed (particularly since movie theaters might begone forever) because so much of the appeal of those games is “pretending to exist in an interesting time and place”.

The thing about a lot of these “hacks” is that they don’t really hurt. If you salt your pasta water ASAP, at least you won’t forget to salt it later. Shaking your garlic cloves in a jar will loosen them enough to make “completely removing them” easier (and will keep some of the mess in the jar). The chopsticks for…

Apples don’t break down the worms that are in apples and make more apple stuff out of it, figs do break down the dead fig wasps and make more fig stuff out of them.  By the time the fruit is ripe, there will be no trace of the wasp.

Just be glad that the dairy industry didn’t attempt to push “Halloween milk” or “pumpkin spice milk” or some weird orange milky concoction, and instead went with something that is at least good.

Your best hotdogs in terms of raw ingredients are going to come from your butcher, since the nature of sausages is “they come from trimmings” and your butcher is going to source better quality trimmings from the meats they cut than do big corporations who are just buying inexpensive leavings for their product.

If we’re excluding “plants which breakdown dead animals, or animal waste, in order to derive their nutrients” because “eww” then we’re basically going to have to stop eating plants. “This fruit eat wasps” is probably less disturbing than “we sow the fields with chicken and cow poop (i.e. manure)”.

I’ve never had a mcflurry-it’s basically just like a DQ blizzard, right?
