This ^^ — unless they’re changing manufacturing techniques and Lauren got a brand-new package, or use different equipment and techniques in different parts of the country, I’ve always found the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls to be of the spiral variety. The cinnamon was more of a dry paste/extruded slab than a crumble, but…

This is one of those things where the macro statistics really don’t matter. Maybe you’d like to run the numbers on the likelihood of a Takata airbag actually going claymore on your kid, then put them in a car with an original airbag in the steering wheel.

There’s also eggplant / aubergine and zucchini / courgette. 

Oh, that Hawaii move is prize-winning! It’s like they don’t understand the concept of “island.” 

I starred you, but ice cream pie >> ice cream cake, because there’s no sponge in there wasting space that could be taken up by more ice cream. Also, ice cream pie is extremely easy to make at home.

It’s deeply insane that the reservation system would allow a “nearest alternative airport” that can’t be easily reached by alternative means of transportation, much less is located in another country.

Sadly enough, this does make you special.

Really determined shoplifters will wear bags under baggy pants to carry their merch, and then wear bulky or baggy coats to disguise any lumps. I once saw someone shoplift multiple bags of Halloween candy this way.

A drink made with straight orange juice is going to be radically different than a drink made with orange flower water, simple syrup, seltzer, and “a splash” of orange juice. Not that I think either would be improved by the addition of a shot of espresso, but the latter concoction would stand up to it better,…

Yeah, this is the only way to eat a TB bean burrito without risking wearing the entire thing — they are just SO soupy. Seven-layer burritos (RIP) were similar, although the lettuce provided some structure.

How about we celebrate America this year by filling our hydration backpacks with water and hitting the streets to protest this bullshit.

I don’t have a vacuum sealer, so when I get a big pack of chicken breasts with the intention of freezing some, I just trim them up and individually wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before I chuck them into a zipper bag. Squish the air out, then double-bag, squish the air out again, and into the freezer. Things stay…

Oh for the love of Pete. Every brunch place I have ever dined at offered Bloody Marys, too. Order one with extra Tabasco if you want to prove your manhood to all (zero) interested parties.

BK has jalepeno cheddar bites, which are not-really-spicy little bricks of jalepeno cheez, breaded and fried. They also have mozzarella sticks, but I don’t know how well they do them.

I think they may have been taking aim at Burger King’s onion rings, which are more of a ring-shaped minced onion fritter. They’re tasty but they’re not proper onion rings.

This makes a lot of sense. I did notice that the “early” cherries were from California, and they were smaller than usual this year, probably due to their problematic growing season. Here’s hoping the Washington crop is ruined by late rain!

“Plant based” is not the same notification as “dairy free” or “egg free”, and it sure as heck doesn’t imply “gluten free”. If I needed to avoid those foods, I wouldn’t rely on “plant based” to get me there.

Unfortunately I live in an apartment and my balcony is north-facing, so growing anything isn’t really practical. 

Even the supermarkets are challenged to keep things in stock sometimes. We are theoretically in the heart of cherry season and I should be doing my best to eat my body weight in cherries before they go away for a year, but it looks like I might have missed the season! We had cherries for maybe a month, and now they’re…

Every word of this. Leaving aside any impairment she may have had, if she lived in that trailer park and either did not have access to a vehicle or did not want to spend the gas to get herself to/from wherever, she was on the best walking route the area offered her. The highway isn’t even that well lit, to look at it…
