@Caitlyn PenzeyMoog, I work at a small-town newspaper in rural Middle Tennessee. Normally, we focus pretty much on our own little coverage area, but once a week I do a column of fun activities that includes other places within a reasonable drive. About a week ago, I was looking up stuff for that column and the (much…

Oh, my, this is good. Best chicken salad ever.
Mister Roberts.
Well, the two shows were connected — “Night Court” creator Reinhold Weege had been a writer on “Barney Miller.” There was a recurring storyline one season on “Barney Miller” in which Harris creates a fake porn production company for some sort of sting operation, and it’s “Starry Night Productions” — which is what…
OK, after repeated mentions, you have finally made me order a tube of Kewpie mayo from Amazon, for probably twice as much or more than I’d pay for regular mayo (even the better brands) at the store. I just hope you’re satisfied.
You forgot the most-appropos comparison — the episode in which Garth Brooks was the host and Chris Gaines the musical guest.
My naming pet peeve is “boneless wings.” There is no such thing. Those are chicken nuggets or tenders or whatever you want to call them. Tossing a piece of chicken in hot sauce does not transform it into a wing. End of pet peeve.
Two words: Instant Pot. (Although, it was only through the Instant Pot group on FB that I learned the trick about rinsing the rice first.)
“Her suitors include actor-director Xavier Beauvois, Denis regular Alex Descas, and Cyrano De Bergerac himself, Gérard Depardieu.”
According to Wikipedia, Matt Lauer (ugh) and Tom Bergeron both hosted local versions of PM Magazine early in their careers, and Dennis Miller did an Andy Rooney-style commentary on his local version.
Wikipedia says it ran “in most areas” until the late 80s, but lists the last episode as being in 1991.
Being the pathetic old geezer that I am, I could not help but notice the “PM Magazine” logo on the camera. I had not thought of “PM Magazine” in decades. It was a syndicated show/format of the late 70s, which lasted into the late 80s in some markets (I don’t think it lasted that long here in Middle Tennessee). It was…
It was also, believe it or not, the subject of a 1979 board game, cheekily titled “Chap Acquitted”: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/29186/chap-acquitted
I have always wanted to try making gravlax — don’t a lot of gravlax recipes call for aquavit?
I have a big jar going right now with (ominous music stinger) two serrano peppers in it (each pepper is halved, and with the stem end removed, to make sure I didn’t have any air bubbles). Not very traditional, I know.
I know a man at our church who brings his own bottle of Hunt’s to church functions rather than use the Heinz we keep in the kitchen.
Every few years someone “invents” and tries to market a blend of salt and pepper in a single shaker. This is an answer to a problem that does not exist. It also ignores the fact that not everyone wants the same ratio of salt to pepper - some people might like heavy salt but only light pepper, or they might be a pepper…
In the Instant Pot Community on Facebook, one of the ongoing discussions is a recipe for using the IP to cook something called “egg bites” similar to ones sold at Starbucks (I’m not a coffee drinker, and the nearest Starbucks is more than a half-hour’s drive away from my rural town, so I’ve never had them). I remember…
Wow, I will have to look at my food processor when I get home. That’s genius. Interesting that Bittman gives the option of using all olive oil. Some other recipes I’ve seen claim (I have no knowledge) that olive oil is somehow negatively affected by really aggressive whisking or blending and suggest using a mild oil…
