Operating w/o a license is, I would imagine, cause for the Health Dept. to come and padlock your doors. No armed law enforcement needed.

No doubt. I suggested he ebay a couple, but he kept one for himself, gave one to me, and let some other folks have another bottle or two. Hell, how much did that stupid bottle of Schezuan Sauce go for?

A neighbor’s kid works at McDonald’s. March this year was... atypically slow for restaurants, even fast food places. Result: His store had an extra *case* of Shamrock Shake mint syrup, and the employees were told to help themselves.

if you’ve been eating the same burrito since 1993, I’d suggest maybe swallowing and, you know, trying a churro or something.

True!

Da, comrade. But first, KEEL moose and sqvirrel!

If it’s instant (or bread machine) yeast it likely has a shelf life of a year or two, assuming you keep it nicely. Active Dry might be a little more dicey.

You can finally reliably find most types of flour and most importantly YEAST on store shelves again. Pasta and rice are starting to be less picked over, too, and still regularly go on sale for $.99/box

It probably won’t help at all, because yes, pigs ARE pretty smart.

There are NUMEROUS decent-to-very-good Seattle pizza places for all sorts of styles. Hell, they have a Paxtis, which a very respectable Chicago-style west coast *chain*, of a all things.

Google: NYT choc chip cookie recipe. Now, forget what it says about mixing bread and cake flour. too much hassle. 17 oz AP is just fine. Also, swap the amounts for the white and brown sugar. you want 10oz white and 8oz brown. For crispness. Also, you need 16-17oz of chocolate. NOT 1.5 lbs. I know, I know, but with…

Training IS about ‘how to hide things’. When I’ve done sexual harassment seminars (as required by company policy), they NEVER attempted to determine or proscribe any personal *attitude*. They emphasized BEHAVIORS.

Rolling your crust thin doesn’t prevent you at all from giving it a 24-48 hour ferment. in the fridge. Most places do, on both deep dish AND thin crust pies. I certainly do when I make it at home. Let it sit for 36+ hours and it gets almost a little beer-y.

they can’t be out of balance because they are smaller than the palm of one’s hand! Unlike the floppy NYC slice, which, if not just the right consistency, will either crack on folding or collapse under its own weight even if folded, the square-cut is perfect for taking in hand and finishing off in 2-3 bites. And you…

Yeah Whedon was held to an impossibly high, god-like standard because Buffy was a *thing* for a lot of folks. And it was pretty damned groundbreaking at the time. The fact that a *man* managed to connect with “the ladies” made his rep as some sort of ideal dude. “Finally someone who gets it!!!”

Clearly, there will be an authority evaluating each patron and directing them to the appropriate restroom. A ‘sorting’, if you will. Maybe this authority can take the form of, say, a codpiece, like a hat for one’s genitals. It can detect if you’re a ‘real’ or ‘fake’ man or woman and guide you to the correct stall.

The same way the original dudes who created the Slayer were patriarchal. We’ll force this power on a woman, but we’ll subtly kneecap her so she isn’t SO powerful that she can threaten us. And we’ll do this so WE don’t have to deal with some ugly/dangerous chore, possibly of our own making.
