I’m so over the “they didn’t have a plan” narrative.

Shelled peanuts exist in Japan, it’s not as if the concept is totally foreign. I have some packets of a rice cracker & peanut mix in my cabinet. Can definitely relate to preferring a bento and also can see why if one wanted a handheld snack, peanuts by themselves might not be the most appealing option.

Can confirm that Taco Bell is pretty great.

Erm, no. What I said was factually correct. The character pre-dates The Black Panther Party. The Black Panther was used as a logo by an Alabama civil rights organization before the character.

Ryan Coogler, who is definitely not white, co-wrote and directed both Black Panther movies.

The character pre-dates the formation of the Black Panther Party by several months. The comic book debut was June 1966, the Black Panther Party was founded in October 1966.

You are confusing "normal" and "normal distribution."

Wait until you hear about Japanese wrestling....

Your objection to falling under the umbrella term of ‘queer’ seems more like a you thing than a Takeout style thing. Though I think there is a slightly different connotation to ‘queer,’ (“not ‘gay’ as in happy, queer as in ‘f**k you’”), just speaking as one queer identifying person; like, you do understand that the…

The whole “didn’t have a plan” narrative needs to go away, because it’s not nearly as explanatory as the sequel trilogy’s critics want to believe. Look, I’m not here to argue that the ST is the most cohesive trilogy ever, but there really was a plan. This is not even touching the fact that the OT didn’t have “a…

The ‘California Pizza’ is largely credited to Ed LaDou at Chez Panisse in Berkeley. I grew up in North Berkeley so Cheese Board Pizza (one pizza, different every day, always vegetarian) was basically the closest pizza place...ok, and Zachary's when we wanted a non-vegetarian pizza.

SF resident pro-tip: It doesn’t come in a bread bowl, but if you’re in town, get the clam chowder at Hog Island Oyster co. in the Ferry building (and maybe their grilled cheese too).

I see your ketchup/ranch and raise you ranch-a-que

Cascatelli at TJs would be great. It's a fun pasta shape!

Swedish Apple pie is a winner. I got called in to make a last minute dessert for a dinner one day. I had bookmarked the recipe, whipped it up in an hour or so and it was a hit!

Same company.

Extremely relatable post. Can't wait for live wrestling shows again, because seeing Finn in person is even better.

One of the most refreshing things I’ve ever had was a cup of fresh squeezed orange juice mixed with fresh pressed cane juice. There may or may not have been some Havana Club in there.

If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, grab the cultured butter from Brittany.
