Just wait till you try making caramelized onions on the grill. You need non-stick foil and to watch the temperature, but you can get some really nice flavor from the wood/charcoal.

It is the packets that are facing manufacturing bottlenecks. There is still ample supply of the actual goo you slather on the dead birds and fried potato carcasses. You can buy bottles online or at most major grocery stores in the US.

People experience sour and bitter flavors differently as they age, with kids being way more sensitive to sour and bitter.

My guess, since the author didn’t get into how individual stores within a chain can vary from in quality between rich and poor areas, is that she’s only been to a HEB in a nicer neighborhood.

You can buy Gros Michel bananas from a number of growers such as: https://miamifruit.org/products/gros-michel-banana-box-pre-order

Gift giving is a big thing in Japan. Fruit is often considered a luxury item and given as gifts. There is an entire culture of growing the best, most expensive fruit. Melons can be quite expensive, especially the square ones, as can any top of the line fruit. At $10 that banana is pretty cheap.

PFOA and PFOS are no longer manufactured in the US. However, they are still produced internationally and if something contains them, it can still be imported and sold in the US. You can still find them in stuff like paper, packaging, coatings, rubber, textiles, carpet, leather goods, and plastics.

Used to have an actual mallard that was bigger than that. He was a rescue we rehabbed from a broken foot. Somehow he was able to fly despite being nearly the size of a Pekin. Pretty sure he broke his foot landing as his landings were rough. Were told he was found in a parking lot, so he probably mistook the pavement…

There is this:

The quick and dirty “fake fish” taco is shred mushrooms along with ground up nori, lemon juice, and salt. Cook in a neutral oil and add taco seasoning to taste. You’ll find it kinda fish like but the texture is probably not gonna do it.

I prefer the Tabasco peppers in vinegar (like you find on the table at Steak-n-Shake) than regular Tabasco sauce. It is a brighter flavor and you can use just the infused vinegar or take out the peppers and add them directly to your food.

If they do Serpent Society I would like to see them do it with Cap and Peggy in the past. We get the happy couple foiling their plots through the years, starting with a honeymoon gone wrong. Let the snakes be why Cap missed any big events through the years and wrap it all up with a final scene of Old Steve leaving the…

It is a US McDonald’s thing. I believe there is a different vendor for the Asian markets or they are made to a different spec.

When the actors eat/bite into the food it can be hell for props. Sometimes you just can’t make or get enough of whatever it is to accommodate a lot of takes.

Right to Repair is big deal. Yeah it is a kinda long read.

Saw that one yesterday, got distracted by duck stuff, forgot about it, then just so happened to have seen it on Ars right before I saw this story to hijack.

Everyone deserves to know about the secret code to access and fix the McDonald’s Ice Cream machines and cold war going on with the machines:

So many bread recipes actually allow for quite a bit of wiggle room. Once you factor in the flour that can be picked up on the board, it can be 10-20% of the total weight of the flour.

While the birds in my kitchen are more of a hindrance than a help, I can assure you I often bake without measuring. Usually for quick stuff like throwing together a loaf of no-knead bread, pizza dough, or making biscuits or pancakes.
