Food Hot Takes are some of the worst Hot Takes :(

The lake is probably cold, folks. Did George Costanza teach you nothing???

“Tea” needs to use the leaf of Camellia sinensis to be tea. “Herbal teas” which may contain many wonderful things but do not contain that plant, are not tea but are “tisanes” or “infusions”

I find about halfway through a burger I flip it upside down. My “bites” aren’t even so I end up eating more of the top bun, if that makes sense. So halfway through I flip it so I don’t inadvertently eat the top bun while there is still lots of burger to go. 

I showed up to late October house parties

Heh I went to that exhibit and gingerly touched the rock, hoping that when I did everything would light up and I’d be whisked away to become Sailor Moon. The rock was waiting for me, you see.

I love Rockets!!! Or as they are known in the States, Smarties.

Hmmm. I see where you’re coming from, watching it so many times you almost become desensitized, but I don’t want that.

Candy. Candy candy candy.

Yes but Hollywood is more conducive to such things and a physical distance from it would be helpful.

I only know the Kardashians from Jez and maybe Buzzfeed.

For the longest time I never understood the “Late Night Gamer and Their Giant Mountain Dew” trope since MD didn’t have caffeine in Canada (something-something non-colas/clearish pop can’t have caffeine?). It made sense once I learned that in the States MD is VERY caffeinated.

There’s a pleasant lack of Parental Hot Takes where if your kid isn’t eating 100% like an adult You Are a Terrible Parent and Your Child is Doomed and I Did it This Way And Was 100% Successful My Child Also Speaks Six Languages And Never Has A Tantrum And Clearly You’re Just Not Doing it Right.

PC Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Jesus. I am totally gonna be that horrible parent who gets their kids dumb phones and severely restricts internet time. But by that point there will something newly terrible that I don’t know about :/

I think he’s been pretty vocal about the physicality of the part is really hard on him (I think he said he hurt his back?). Superhero-body is that much more difficult to achieve and maintain than successful-in-shape-actor-body. I think Hemsworth has dialed his workouts down, too.

Thin People Nonsense 

Martha Stewart sells a lifestyle that modern influencers can only dream of. I love it and her and her calming presence whenever I catch her on tv and the oh-so-perfect magazine thatconvinces me I could do it all.

People who buy this swimsuit don’t go swimming. That would ruin their no-makeup makeup and their perfectly tousled beach hair that took hours and would be ruined by water.  They are there to be *seen* before they go do a line of coke and get ready for the nightclub. 

What is your recipe development like? How many iterations/tries before you are happy with a dish to put on the site?
