And in related news, depending upon the grind, bison burgers can have nearly as much saturated fat as beef burgers because they have to add fat to make them more palatable.

I’ll be stunned if she does. Not that she doesn’t deserve it, but the Television Academy doesn’t seem to give much of a crap about superhero shows.

I noticed that, too, and was wondering if that was deliberate. Full House started in the 80's, so it would fall under this ep’s theme.

Elizabeth Olsen is a HUGE part of why this show is working so well. She is flipping effortlessly between an angry Scarlet With, glimpses of the clearly grieving Wanda, and wacky sitcom wife.

The best cheese curds are actually in the Twin Cities:

The shake:

My husband and I got the booze advent calendars for the holiday season - we figured if there was ever a holiday season for a drink a day, it was 2020.

He got the Scotch Whisky, I got the Gin. We’ve bought several of the gins - though to be fair, we’d had our eye on the Suntory Roku but being able to test drive a dram…

Here’s a blog post about it!  Looks like it was a limited edition candy bar.

It helps when you tip your cleaning people well.

I have this amazing Prime Rib/Yorkshire Pudding/Jus recipe from Cook’s Illustrated, and the jus was a really simple knockout, since you start by sauteeing onions in the drippings. Deeply beefy goodness results.

So, I just use beef tallow to sautee the onions and I can whip it up any time I’m making smaller Yorkshire…

I recommend these (the owner says 8 oz, I say 12 oz, or even 16 is okay if you want to stretch it to 2 less intense cups):

Sorry, I laughed at that mental image.  You’re in college!  Eat some pizza!  It doesn’t have to be nasty, just get plain cheese or veggie pizza or something.

The pisser was this RD and my equally shitty doctor (so shitty she was asked to leave the practice a few years later, and this was not a town with a lot of doctors) kept telling me it was okay if I was hungry all the time and felt like crap. I think they thought I must have been secretly mainlining Twinkies or…

And while you’re up in that part of the State Fairgrounds, wander over to the tractor-churned ice-cream and catch the Lumberjack show. Truly a MN State Fair Trifecta. ;)

I was put on one by a very, very, crappy Registered Dietitian in the early ‘00's.

Oh man, it was just a lot of info. Thinking about keeping to the primary McDonald’s brand while mixing up the looks, depending upon the expectations of the neighborhood. (i.e. - suburban neighborhoods might want nicer looking stores, where a smaller downtown storefront just needed to be functional and familiar.)

One of the most fascinating airplane conversations I’ve ever had was with a woman who helped re-brand McDonald’s franchises. All I can say is the thought and effort that goes into this kind of branding is insane. Unlike a lot of products, they don’t really have a single niche - they have to reach a huge amount of the…

Yep.  Less caloric than a full Big Mac so it was the occasional post-workout treat for me.

I had to explain to my husband - who did NOT grow up in the DC area but moved down in the late 90's - why DC-area residents of a certain age were geeking out over that.

Red Line escalators are some of the longest in the world, and one is the longest in the western hemisphere. When riding them down, I used to have to look straight ahead and keep the steps out of my eyesight because after a while, they could make me a little dizzy. Be discomforted by those all you want, no judgment…
