Pistachio oil is very expensive, but worth it. Frickin’ amazing on salads, meats, cheeses, etc.

Fresh young mustard greens have a flavor very similar to horseradish. It’s one of my favorite condiments to use with blue cheese on a burger.

Note that Portillo’s fries are not vegan: They fry with beef tallow.

Try the peanut butter + butterscotch morsels version

I also have some doubts that product grade is the same. I swear it has changed in flavor profile: less tea, less lemon, etc.

It’s less a matter of cost than delivering something priceless.
Homegrown tomatoes will be better than anything you can get a a supermarket, and better than 90% of what you’ll get at a farmer’s market.
A cucumber fresh off the vine is a delight of freshness, with no wax on the skin.
Homegrown jalapeno peppers actually…

The lack of room service — especially in higher-end hotels — has been a big disappointment for me on business travel. Often, I need to work and eat at the same time, prior to meetings or at the end of the day. I may be just-dressed-enough to take delivery, I *certainly* don’t want to go down to the bar to wait in line…

The clear reason why the shortbreads aren’t on top is the complete lack of butter. There’s some sweetened condensed milk, buttermilk and artificial flavors, but without butter, it just ain’t shortbread.

Yup, Culver’s is basically Shake Shack without the booze, with a lot more menu items, and at least $5/person cheaper.

Obligatory:

Everybody — I mean everybody — goes to the Magic Kingdom in the evening for the parade and fireworks. *That’s* the time to go to Disney Hollywood Studios for the Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon rides, the last couple hours they’re open you can practically walk on.

Got one under the deadline. Spicier than any of the mainstream chains (almost to Fry the Coop’s “hot” level), but not actually tasty, and really lacking in crunch. I’ll go back to Popeye’s (crunchiest if lacking in heat) or Fry the Coop (more expensive).

There are a few instant jjajangmyeon brands I like, I’ll buy whichever is on sale, or chapagetti if none of them are. Some have an onion-scented vegetable oil. As with many instant noodle packs, I’m fond of adding chopped broccoli, kale or brussels sprouts (the latter two from my garden blanched and frozen).

Heck yes: I ate better at counter stalls than the Michelin-starred places in Athens (where the same restaurant with the counter charges an extra Euro to be seated at a table for the same food, and gyros are pork or chicken — if it’s beef or lamb it’s doner).

Points for mentioning the Beef and Cheddar — still one of the best (and messiest) fast-food sandwiches out there, especially with extra Horsey Sauce.

I’m also of the age where in 6th grade we had segregated classes, 7th grade had integrated gym and electives. But in 6th grade, the boys and girls swapped shop and home ec for 1/2 of a semester. We learned basic sewing machine skills (made a beanbag frog and a drawstring laundry bag — used the latter through college),…

Thank you for a the quick and accurate summary of the US Medical Device approval process. You missed one aspect of FDA Clearance for Class I and II devices (which is called the 510(K) process, for the form used to apply): the clearance is based on the documentation of how this device is similar and different from…

How can they possibly make a trailer for Wolf Like Me without using TV On The Radio’s awesome song of the same name?

Just as important: Recycling. A pressed-cardboard egg carton can be recycled, but only if there’s no food residue.
