I think the only hot sauce I would go out of my way to ensure I’ve got is Marie Sharp’s Hot Habanero.  There are hotter sauces in the Sharp canon, but I think the “Hot Habanero” does the best job of balancing heat and flavor (the Belizean Heat is no joke!).  I’m a big fan of her grapefruit habanero sauce too.

A lot of super poisonous mushrooms look a lot like tasty once (and some of the deadly kinds are tasty when you eat them, it’s just a bad idea). So if you’re not super-confident in your ability to identify mushrooms there’s probably a better hobby to find. Remember, fungus isn’t poisonous for tactical reasons (like…

I think the clearest example, even moreso than wine grapes, is onions. More sulfrous soul-more pungent onions, less sulfrous soil- sweeter onions.  So for example, Vidalia GA has soil that is particularly low in sulfur, hence the iconic “Vidalia Onion.”

Well, I knew that Kotick and Palmer Lucky were absolutely terrible trash fires of supposed humans, and that Tim Schafer is a decent guy, but it’s nice to know that everybody between Kotick and Schafer isn’t a total disaster.

Yeah, I can go to the grocery store at the time when there aren’t a lot of people there.  If you let me know which flights are going to have like only 6 people on them I’ll be sure to take those ones.

I haven’t had one since 2014 or so, and my memories of it were primarily “disappointment”.  But honestly, as far as marketing stunts for McDonalds as far as I’m concerned it beats tie-in meals for celebrities I’m only vaguely aware of.

I’m going to do my best to keep thighs from becoming trendy (and hence expensive) by continuing to not order from Wingstop and just cooking my chicken thighs at home.

I already voted, so I wonder if there’s any way I could just go into a medically induced coma for like a month.

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.
