You have a good point—no one prompts more Dumb Copycats Done Dirt Cheap than MB. Four words which can strike rampant nausea and intellectual dread in a discerning movie goer? A Michael Bay Film.

Thank you for the quick and easy Pulled Pork recipe. There is a popular Pressure Cooker Carnitas recipe on the ALLRECIPES site I have used for years; pork shoulder—as you mentioned, still decently priced—start with a rub, place rest of ingredients (including a cup of OJ) into the Instant Pot for almost an hour, then…

Inane conversational snippets never witnessed in real life yelled at top volume and an edit every 5-7 seconds didn’t clue you sooner?

And BOOM! Already stuck in my head. Especially...........Pittah Puttah. Dammit.

I see how this type of series is not for everyone. I have to stay on my toes to keep up at times. I let the story play out and sort it all after the episode is over. I doubt I would watch anything causing a massive headache every week. Either you are overstating—references to your “feeble” brain supports the drama, or…

I don’t think it is elitist at all, though for me it is not much of a difficulty—8 bucks for an entertaining afternoon seems reasonable, but for the mom with three kids who want popcorn—yeah they really could look at making it better for them, but refuse to do so. I worked at a little theater, my first real job and…

I have been a “Gotta See It On The Big Screen” dinosaur for many years. My locally owned theater charges 8 bucks for a matinee and I still try to get there at least 2-4 times per month to support my local business (so $16-$32 plus maybe a snack or two), but I do it because I want to, not that it is cheaper or more…

But how can I get the painful response of hot molten fruit lava burning my tongue and roof of my mouth? Frozen solid, or too damn hot—FTW.

I haven’t eaten or baked one in a long time but the Pillsbury always tasted like their biscuit dough with Cinnamon undertones, kinda dry and needing something to moisten and flavor; the icing is a must. Cheap manufacturing with the cinnamon blobs instead of a nice ribbon throughout. The Doughboy should have his…

As far as I’ve noticed these employees switch stations and do all kinds of jobs, not just hand out coffee. I am able to afford my chai latte on a regular basis—I feel I certainly can afford a buck or two for the hard working people who are so kind and cheerful to me--they share the tips at our local SB and I am…

My brother got me one of these for Christmas years ago, and I remember getting those par-baked crusts and toppings for a get together and because it was new, everyone had a blast doing it. Plug in, turn on, it heated up immediately and was not too large to store away. Used it for several years myself and finally gave…

I have two kinds, neither are woven plastic. Shape is important—mine two types are rectangle and oblong and have really strong handles. One kind has zippers and the others are lined with insulation for cold items and velcro together so they stay closed but also in a stack. This will be their fifth year. I did have to…

I tried it when it first came out, hadn’t see any reviews. The chicken was soggy externally but oddly springy internally, not a good combo but worse was the weird dab of fake buttery maple flavor on the bun? It hit your nose like a freight train and lingered in your mouth like it was waiting for applause or…

When I was younger there was a British guy who lived locally and ran a record store—he dressed outlandishly every day (White jacket with big thick vertical blue stripes, patterned pants, etc.) but he was a colorful personality and the wild clothes became a visual representation of that personality. Clothes were a…

Riposa in pace, Signore.. My favorite thing about Sirico is he had that great character actor ability to make you believe he and Paulie were one. When his eyes would go cold and/or he became angry, you felt it to the bone.

As a young teen, I worked at the local movie theater and even then we knew to time popping that P-Corn just before the doors opened for instant salivatory response secondary to maximum stimulus of olfactory receptors. I am a veteran movie goer and by now you think I would be immune but it still perks me up when I walk…

I agree with you but would add another show The Gilded Age aims for accuracy and uses design and costume in development. HBO is great for promoting quality productions.  

Always interesting over the years, but in that season of Fargo? He’ll forever be cemented in my mind as one of the best out there: character or lead. He can go from hero to villain and back again with barely a change in his glance. 

Loved Ragnarok, found JoJo bold and very emotional at times, impressed by his choice of material and presentation. I agree about OFMD, though friends have said it does pick up some steam after the first few episodes—I made it to #3, may try again now that it has been picked up. WWDINS is always clever, fun to watch…

I appreciate the post and the list of substitutions, while somehow knowing you have a really tidy pantry. But will a small, half-sized container of CoT throw it all into a tizzy? No...No it won’t.
