Star Wars is like a poorly knit sweater. You pluck one stray thread and the whole thing comes apart. So it’s best to ignore all the stray threads. Rule of Cool is the usual governing device.

The couple of times I’ve tried the Hidden Valley brand it had a very strong plastic taste. Homemade is the way to go.

What he needs to do now is go to Dagobah and re-train with Master Yoda. After he rescues Leia, of course.

And if you don’t like corn syrup, you can buy Dr. Pepper with sugar.

I would just like to post that some soft butter spread on a plain potato chip with some freshly ground pepper on top is very nice. I was bored during the pandemic and tried it. Don’t eat too many; you don’t need that much butter. Just a few.

What’s a good combo for hard apple cider? Watermelon? Cantaloupe? Honeydew melon?

None of these sounded appetizing to me, but I once went to burrito place that had a Super Veggie Burrito - it was a veggie burrito with a chile relleno (no stem) in the middle. It was pretty good.

My grandmother called American cheese “slick cheese”

Are there different “classes” (melee, magic, ranged, etc...) or do you just build your vampire as you go along?

Chech out The Tassajara Bread Book. It was first published in 1970 and was written by the baker/cook at the Tassajara Zen Monastery in California. Fun to read with good recipes. Very charming.

Not training your dog is a big one. We have a chocolate lab in my building that just wasn’t trained at all. He’s a sweetie, but jumps all over you if you say “hi”

You left out a few. ;)

Got Kinja’d - Oh well.

On cottage cheese - I had a Bulgarian Potatoes recipe that started with putting 4% cottage cheese, melted butter, salt, and pepper into a blender and then blending until smooth. It tasted SO good I didn’t want to finish the recipe.
