No I was thinking he was going to reprise a version of Hot Fuzz Dalton

Get over yourself and down the driveway. I would have a hard time as an actor turning down an original period piece leashed to a popular franchise written by one of our best writers working today co-starring a hand picked talented veteran cast with star billing. This isn’t some second string bare budget teen horror…

My Italian mother loved the flavor so I was exposed to all manner of almonds, no new info here. Delicious in all kinds of recipes. I found with my own experience it is easy to overplay your hand with the extract. In a dark brownie with a few drops maybe not, but it shouldn’t be a 3D Comin’ at ya! sensation in anything…

I sure miss AR, all her inspired concoctions, cooking hints and tips and her “What the what?!” taste tests. Multi-hyphenate talent who elevated this site to MUST CHECK status. 

Hope you have your Christmas miracle... The more you use it, the more you will realize what you were missing and dismissing. For me I can do a couple of chops ahead of time and have an easy protein to sear for dinner in a snap which is not dry or tasteless. Steaks can be easy, though some are deceitfully less tender…

Yes! It is kind of a mind freak in texture and color at first. Hit it with the instant read just to make sure I wasn’t making a huge mistake. The other really memorable first time was a good steak, you have probably found this out as well.. Mine was from our local butcher so it had nice marble and moderate thickness.…

I have had mine for about four+ years now and I remember the first thing I tried, chicken breasts, so moist and tender it was startling—like is this cooked? Because I was expecting a drier texture. But I’ve done meats, veggies, etc. and for someone like me, a nurse working 12-13 hour shifts, I can prep for the week. I…

Perhaps I have bumped into him under another name—Well, thank God the dullness isn’t infectious.

Naw, already in the black when I posted, but duly noted and will not make the mistake of engaging again. Your name I recognize, his was a new one to me—fool me once. 

Thank you, I was confused why all this vitriol and spun out anxiety was expelled over a bit of purchased food. As an ICU nurse I see someone foaming that much I am going to call for immediate containment until the virus can be isolated and identified. 

Frothing aside, I think the majority of people across demographics (except for a narrow subset) are content simply to have a reason to come together; food is a way to make it memorable. Relatives and friends are always happy to bring a dish or something even if it is just a simple side. I’ve not been made to feel…

You make a great point, maybe for the newer cook—part purchased and part homemade. These are some of the easiest meals to assemble. Most of the time I try to make most items since I’ve done it for so many years but if time was crunched or space was limited I would try my best—for instance I don’t always have the oven…

Came to the comments to see if my reaction to the ridiculous price point on every item was shared—I mean yes, a reasonable mark up so it is worth it for Goldbelly and the businesses they showcase but these prices are ridiculous and way above gouge territory. There is no way it costs them so much to make and ship 12…

I had a good time with this episode, with confident hosts, lots of sketches, lively taped bits and no need to cover for deficiencies because these guys know the game. I appreciated the comfort the rest of the cast has with two seasoned Pro performers, not just Heidi and Cecily but everyone looked like they were having…

Close set eyes, sloping forehead, large jutting jaw—why is this Neanderthal missing link specimen still in office? Found her Prom photo anyway... 

Some of those types are familiar in my line of work as well. The big ones, I am on guard but when some little old frail geriatric ends up having the strength of 12 Angry Men, it is a surprise. I am sure also like me you have some things you wish you could “unsee” or forget. But hey you got through and are still alive…

Not to celebrate schadenfreude but there must be a tinge of satisfaction when they make a big show of WHO THEY ARE or who they know and then collapse when you called their bluff? As an ICU nurse we get our problem patients on an ongoing basis, especially this time of the year but I can’t imagine what you dealt with as…

Nice succinctly sensible thought process there, thank you. He sticks his nose in every debated topic whether or not he is involved or has any reason to have an opinion, yet every time something happens in his own life (and things happen a LOT) he suddenly needs privacy. Texans can’t possibly like the guy to vote him…

I think most of the things I’ve read the past few days were generous to her career and character. She had some good moments as an actress, some questionable beliefs and views IRL, but whenever she popped up, I think about her screaming FETTUCCINI! in the diet commercial. She did what she wanted for good or for bad,…

I can see from a “no raw egg” perspective, but prepackaged mayo always has a bit of an aftertaste and a bit salty. Last resort for me, but I understand why some would try.
