Yeah, I was really hoping that the video featured a cross-section.  Hopefully some enterprising food journalist will get one and record it for posterity.

It feels to me that if you’re a food magazine with a test kitchen, a good argument for dropping beef is “the ways to make beef taste good are well documented and generally uncomplicated”. So trying to come up with new ideas here is a waste of time.

Unfortunately I can only eat about half of a triple double crunchwrap and I never knew how many that was.

The best thing at the Fair, most likely, remains these french fries:

Low key funniest part of WAP is Meg starting a verse with “Your honor, I’m a freak bitch...”

The ironic thing I’ve found is that those game fans who are the most vociferously suspicious of print journalists being paid by games publishers to bias coverage, is that these people take most of their cues from gaming youtubers who literally are paid by games publishers to bias coverage.

Nonetheless the BMIS scale is more scientific than the BMI scale.

Chicken parts ranked: Thighs> Breasts> Drumsticks > Wings.

It’s not really a mystery how the stuffed marshmallows are made. Marshmallows are basically gelatin+sugar syrup, so they need time to set.  During that time it’s possible to like “stick a lump of chocolate in there”.

I’ve never seen them powdered, I usually just toast them with other spices then grind them all together.

Does “annatto” refer to something other than achiote seeds?  I’m only familiar with the seeds, which you probably wouldn’t want to put in the breading.

If my air fryer only goes up to 400, am I better off baking?

Why *pink* lemonade though?

There is good barbecue in Minnesota, but I’m not aware of any outside the cities (Jordan is a city of 6000 people, most places with 6000 people don’t have great dining). Big Daddy’s in St. Paul closed during the pandemic, but are looking for a new location and Black Market by the High Bridge are both legit.

While the number of Home Depots I’ve been to is limited (I tend not to frequent hardware stores in places I don’t live), I don’t think I’ve been to any that had a hot dog vendor in house.

I’ve always kind of enjoyed wandering the grocery store and covid complicated that mightily.  What I struggle with now is how much to defer to the instacart or w/e people who are there doing their jobs, when I’m just trying to pick out beets or whatever.  It’s a weird dynamic to have people at work rubbing shoulders…

People who are shorter than I am, and people who are taller than I am, are weird. Why can’t they just be the right height?

This isn’t really something you see in America, but throughout Scandinavia there’s a variant of the waiting room/lobby coffee in that basically every store will have, tucked into a corner (usually towards the front, but not always) a little urn of very strong coffee along with a little plate of ginger cookies.  It’s…

His defense of himself rings especially hollow when you realize that nobody is under any obligation to donate any money to any political candidate, and nobody needs to find out who you voted for.  Donating money to races in states you’re not even in demonstrates a level of activism for whatever politics that reflects.

It’s not about the player character, since you’ve always been able to play a Khajiit, one of several kinds of Elf, an Argonian, or an Orc if that’s what you want. It’s about the setting and the NPCs. By having most of the people around being human who participate in human culture makes the whole thing more…
