The correct answer is generally “Tacos”.

The “he prefers a well-done steak” doesn’t really compare to all the other terrible things the man has done, but it just sticks in my craw every time I am reminded of it.

I had two criteria Disney needed to fulfill before I would sign up for Disney+:

It’s still bizarre that EA paid all that money for the Star Wars license and did so little with it.  I guess it’s worth less now than it used to be, but still.

Is there any indication that Rowling’s bigotry hasn’t gotten even more intense with time?  Like by 2022 I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s advocating for reeducation camps for non-gender conforming individuals.  If the trajectory of the BBC is any indication, that might be a mainstream view on that isolated island in a…

I mean, Brexit was idiotic but are you telling me that he didn’t even try to just house the sandwich before they took it away from him? It’s not the best way to enjoy a sandwich, but it’s better than having it confiscated.

At least if you have decided to grow eggplant you probably have some insight into how to use them (or if a friend is offloading their eggplants onto you, you can ask them).  The people who really get it bad are the people who sign up for CSAs and get huge amount of eggplant, which is not the easiest vegetable to use.

I dunno, serving an eggplant based salad inside of an eggplant you carved to look like shoes is kind of clever.  As anyone who has ever grown eggplant, or known anybody who is growing eggplant “too much eggplant” is a real problem!

They do it to “get a longer warranty on their pots” as though the big aluminum vessels they use to *boil water* are big ticket items.

Corporate leadership at Olive Garden decreed that they stop salting the pasta water in order to cut costs. If that’s not an indictment of capitalism, I don’t know what is.

I drink a frankly reckless amount of water, and have never had a UTI (these things might be related, I dunno) but I do love the flavor of cranberry.

Considering rechargeable AAs are useful for lots of things, and can basically live on the charger until you need them, I find “swap out the AAs on the charger for the ones in the controller” to be more convenient than “plug in the controller”. Since sure, if you set the controller to charge when you’re done, there’s…

This might be an unpopular opinion, but Twitch would be better without emotes.  I don’t know what any of them signify and I don’t like seeing them and it just makes me want to close the chat pane.

Escargot is one of those things that the process of making it at home (specifically the sheer quantity of butter involved) make you kind of not want to eat it.  At restaurants, that stuff is out-of-sight/out-of-mind.

The community Christmas decorations tend to coincide with the start of Advent (like the Gävle goat that people like to burn down), but the start of it in homes usually coincides with Santa Lucia’s day, so December 13th, on which the eldest daughter is supposed to put candles on her head and hand out cookies.  I’m the…

As a Swedish American, I’m always confused about people who drag their trees out before January 13th (Tjugondag Jul), which is the designated day you start taking your Christmas stuff down.

I think this is the year I finally clear out my PS1 backlog.  Just one game left in there (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) and my PS2 isn’t going to work forever.

Historically though “non-boozy eggnog” was basically not a thing before pasteurization since the alcohol is what kills the microbes that would cause spoilage in a medium incredibly prone to it (i.e. dairy+sugar+eggs). So they wouldn’t have had eggnog to begin with.

Have you all not been participating in the cultural event of blaseball?

Based on my recipe, to make enough eggnog to support 4 gallons of whiskey you’d need about 384 eggs.  Did the cadets have unlimited access to eggs?  You’d think that “that person is carrying around almost 400 eggs” would be more of a giveaway than the whiskey.
