When I was a kid I'd occasionally do cocoa crispies with orange juice.  But I was a weird kid and I hated milk (still do... Only use it as an ingredient).

Have to respectfully disagree.  I've loved the Popeyes chicken sandwich, but I've been saying since the beginning (to myself obviously) that the sauce could use more acid/vinegar.  This sounds like a perfect fast food chicken sandwich. Can't wait to try it.

I know this post is about milk bar and not powder, but I gotta sing the praises of their ice cream. The corn flake chocolate chip marshmallow ice cream is a total revelation... Particularly the texture from the corn flakes. The corn flakes are the best part of every pint. Highly recommended.

The cast iron flat top griddle is my godsend. For about the last 8 years, it only leaves the stove for brief jaunts to the sink. You get so much real estate to work with, plus the ability to have two temperature zones. No it can’t do sauces or boil water, but that’s why I have two other burners.

I eat a banana almost every day for breakfast, for basically the same reasons as the author: cheap, filling, delicious, and their built in wrapper makes them easy to eat in the car if I’m running behind.

I know I’m probably going to regret this post, but while I’m real glad there were good republicans in the Reagan admin who cared about policy (and honestly, I don’t mean this sarcastically)...the republican party has been fomenting this monster for decades, going back to the birth of the Southern Strategy in the 60's.…

Still live in Chicago. Raced out of Belmont when I was kid. Basically all summer long, from the time I was 11 until I was about 16 or 17. Mostly 420s and 470s, but also some Lightnings, J22s and J24s. Ocasionally would hitch a ride on a nice older couples T10 for a race. Got burnt out on racing, but now that I’m in my…

Chicagoan that lived through this. Was what Mayor Daley did a little (a lot!) shady? No shit yeah, he bulldozed the “X’s” in the airport in the middle of the night.

Fuck this site, fuck this site, fuck this movie.

Chevy is just lucky it was a white robot car. Pretty sure there would have been some drugs in the cabin, conveniently “in plain sight” of the cop, if that robot was a different shade.

And, many went out of their way to conceal their identity so as to avoid any special treatment that may be granted to a critic. The goal is to sample the restaurant the same way as a member of the general public. I think it was Mike Sula, from the Chicago Reader, who would wear a wrestling mask in all of his press…

The only one of these I really disagree with is Sprinkles. I know much of the Takeout staff is in Chicago; so I implore you to hit up a Do-Rite Donuts and get the birthday cake donut. I know it looks like something a 4 year old would order, but it’s perfect in it’s simplicity. Great donut, vanilla frosting, and the…

My favorite Peeps’ Hack; and it’s really fucking delicious; and you get to use your cooking torch if you have one:

I love my toaster oven for toast (and many other things).

I really appreciate the author’s sentiment, but the issue issue is far too complex to have a one-size-fits-all response.

Agreed. Plus, this whole idea that a wife needs sticking up for is kind of fucked. She wasn’t being physically attacked. She’s not some meek creature in need of protection. JPS is quite capable of fighting her own battles. The most “honorable” thing a man can do in that situation is stand back and provide support.…

I have to imagine any Western investment in Russia is done for, regardless of what happens in Ukraine. These planes are Exhibit A as to why. Who’s ever going to enter into another lease with multi-million dollar assets... And even if you can find someone crazy enough, no one’s gonna insure it anymore. Same thing for…

Just another garage queen that’s sadly gonna gather dust behind velvet ropes in some bar and grill while the yokals ogle and slurp down 25 cent wings.

I just got back from family vacation from universal Orlando. We ended up cancelling two of three dinner reservations because kids were having too much fun doing other stuff. I didn’t care at all. Yeah we ended up waiting in a 30 minute line for a hard rock cafe at 11pm one night... But I didn’t care. Kids ended up…

What about cupcakes with a filling?
