Haha, well, that's basically what a taco is (minus fries of course) when you make Old El Paso dinner kits...maybe with lettuce and tomatoes if you went down the produce aisle. Really, the blame should go to Old El Paso for convincing large swaths of American families that Taco Tuesday is their kits. Which I will admit…

Right...which is why I acknowledged people who truly can't eat gluten, you know, right there in my comment. It sucks big time, but is very rare compared to the number of people claiming "gluten allergy." So you can ride that high horse down the road.

Homemade mayonnaise. Really, it's not hard and it tastes so much better. Jarred mayonnaise truly turns my stomach with just the smell. Ugh, just thinking about it now has put me off my breakfast *hurk*. But homemade...is just so amazing...and you can add anything you like to it. Lemon and black pepper homemade…

I am intrigued by your hoisin pizza, because I love hoisin and will admit to being stuck in a pizza rut. I just love tomato sauce so much that I always order traditional pizza because I start really craving tomato sauce. What goes on top of the hoisin pizza?

They don't need vaccines...I'm sure they have wonderful homepathic "doctor" or herbalist who can make a lovely flower tincture.

When opening and working in a restaurant that caters to crunchy granola set, you're really just asking for lots of weirdness and stupidity, aren't you? Honestly, I'd expect that sort of stuff on the regular if my menu was raw, gluten-free, non-GMO, since those dietary restrictions already stem from questionable…

Seriously. My husband still talks about that one time a gay guy didn't stop hitting on him right away when he said no with total shock. But is puzzled that I don't look random men in the face while walking down the street.

It's because you italicized Gilead, which indicates a book title. Nation-states, even fictional ones, are not italicized in print. Book titles are either italicized or underlined, which is how you know they are books.

As a child I was only ever fed soup when I was sick, and then it was always nasty Campbell's chicken and stars (Mom thought that made it "fun"). That included being forced to eat soup as a punishment for faking illness. So, I still have the following visceral reaction to soup: I'm not sick! I don't have to eat soup!!…

This is funny because they teamed up for that stupid "Why does Coke tastes better at McDonald's??" commercial. Why, why would it taste better at McDonald's? McDonald's is good only when drunk or hungover. I briefly reconsidered my marriage when my husband's response to going out for ice cream was that we get…

Was it spilled all over? I can see myself leaving it in the trunk, but it would have been rolling around back there...

True story. I once found an entire order of small fries in my winter coat pocket after pulling it out of summer storage. They were completely unchanged from the day I assume I must have drunkenly purchased and put french fries in my pocket, completely forgetting to even eat them.

Ok, I could use an opinion how just how douchey something my Mom does in restaurants really is. I personally find it pretty embarrassing but would like to know if the pros brush it off, roll eyes, or mock/cropdust us relentlessly. My brother used to work at our neighborhood pub while in culinary school. It's a nice…

I attend MD Renn Faire every year, and will 1000% attest to the deliciousness of Pork Chop on a Stick. I will bite you if you try and get in on my pork chop. You go get your own. Cheesecake on a stick...I always get one, but really only like the narrow part, which is very chocolaty. Renn Faire makes delicious waffles,…

Would a commission system work in the restaurant biz, as opposed to tipping? There would still be a base hourly rate, higher than the tipped rate of course, plus a commission on food/drink ordered. The server would have the motivation to sell cocktails, apps, desserts because instead of a theoretically higher tip,…

This article would be more plausible if this not-news blog didn't also post articles speculating about and showing close-ups of Jon Hamm's and Jared Leto's dick bulges.

I miss Lindy so much...she is hilarious and skilled in making cogent arguments for feminism. I would like to join the support group for folks missing the former writers and struggling with being stuck in the grays.

I think we'd all be surprised in this situation, when a baby is born mixed race you had specifically requested a donor of your own race (not exactly a terrible idea). The article says they love and have bonded with their baby, but for the people saying that the lawsuit is evidence they don't, or their baby should be…

It's like you actually know what my two biggest irrational fears are and found a way to combine them.

Ugh, that last family makes me wish restaurants had some sort of first-class accommodations to which you could whisk the poor women away for special treatment while the jerks had to watch enviously from an economy booth between the restroom and kitchen.
