I’m perfectly fine with Jell-O as a sweet dessert or treat (my sister makes good “broken glass” Jell-O) but I can’t for the life of me figure out who ever thought aspics were even remotely appetizing. I know our favorite tome The Gallery of Regrettable Food made them look horrid, but I can’t imagine them being any…

to be fair a lot of times that’s not the fault of MS or Windows. I got stuck in that trying to update my desktop to Win10 v.1909. it would download the update, do a bunch of stuff, start going, and when it got to the point of prepping to reboot to upgrade, it would say it “failed” with an error code. I had to do some…

well, we at least know there’s at least one numpty who is still running Windows XP.

just to be clear, they apparently did this of their own choosing, so whiny right-wingers needn’t turn into pissbabies over “political correctness.” They’re a private entity doing something to broaden their appeal and (hopefully) increase their sales, which is something “free market” types should be all for.

are you shitting me?

the point is that you need boiling temperatures to inactivate the lectins.  baking soda won’t help you there, only heat will work. 

thanks a lot, Micheline. now I want a falafel wrap.

if using dried beans, soak them and BOIL THEM FIRST or else you may regret it, especially kidney beans. a slow cooker doesn’t get hot enough to inactivate the lectins which can give you serious issues.

sorry, Moe’s, but that looks like latex house paint base.

and for those who still believe mayonnaise is the enemy at the heart of so many picnic/potluck potato salad food poisonings, it’s almost assuredly not the mayo. it’s most likely the potatoes, other (improperly washed) vegetables like the celery, or cross-contamination during prep. Mayo is too acidic and has too…

On occasion I peel and eat lemons like they’re tangerines.

Wow, this is a first. I literally don’t have any of these things in my freezer. Had to vote with Aimee ads the closest to what I would have, if, you know.

make it clear what you expect pickup/takeout customers to do when they arrive.  I ordered from a local place last weekend, and when I got there they had a posting on the door saying “for the safety of our staff and customers please wait in your car for your order.”  But nobody working there was coming outside, and…

even in a cylinder bore (open choke) buckshot spread is only going to be a few inches at typical defensive distances.  you still have to aim.  and the shotgun is going to kick the crap out of you. 

if I’m legit worrying about looting, I’m keeping these at my side:

I did a pound of navy beans in the instant pot a few days ago, and on a lark threw in a few pieces of kombu dashi.  it doesn’t bring any flavor, but after cooking the aquafaba was a nice, hearty “stock” that just needed a bit more garlic and onion to round it out.  I’ve been eating these beans by the bowlful daily…
