Based on my sample of one other Michigan resident I’m convinced it might just be something that occurs in random Chinese carryout restaurants regardless of geography. 

I suspect but have no way of confirming that the more working class/blue collar the area a restaurant is located in, the more likely they are to have rolls. I grew up in the south end of Warren, at 9 mile and Gratiot, at the time my grandparents lived in Detroit at 7 and Gratiot. Rolls were always provided at the…

How old are you? I’m 39, and now that I think about it I think it was more common when I was growing up. It could also depend on where in Michigan you live. I grew up in more blue-collar type neighborhoods. I now live between Royal Oak and Troy. Our “regular” Chinese place in Clawson gives them out, but we haven’t…

I’m also fully vaxxed with booster, have had covid since last Wed and it has not been pleasant. The same is true for the rest of my household. 

I don’t think it’s inconceivable at all. I was born in 1983 and spent most of my life in Metro Detroit. I don’t recall of hearing or seeing of pineapple on pizza until I was in high school in the late 90s. 

Is it a Mass thing? I live in Michigan, and dinner rolls with Chinese carryout seem to be a thing at most places here as well. Here they are a very specific type of roll, they are very dense, too dense IMO. 

Window coverings.

Nah, I’m just bored waiting to get through my first bought with covid. I’m someone who takes food safety very seriously, for example I always use a meat thermometer when cooking chicken, etc. I also happen to realize that it’s a bit alarmist to suggest storing food at 45 degrees vs 40 degrees for a day is going to…

Yes, I agree that some of Campbell’s best guitar work is on Mojo. I myself am a hack guitarist, and he is one of my biggest influences. My other favorite Mike Campbell album (and probably top 5 Petty) is Echo. Tom himself wasn’t a big fan of that record, but I absolutely love it and think it’s an underrated gem. It’s…

Oh Wildflowers is probably my favorite overall Petty album, but I sometimes find it a bit chill for a road trip. I also overplayed it a bit after I bought the ultra-mega-super deluxe version. I’ve been trying to give it a rest so as not to overdue it.

“If you’re taking the freak show on the road (traveling with small kids): Disney movie soundtracks, if you are interested in preventing mutiny.”

I’m not really a greatest hits album type of person, I stopped buying them for anyone years ago. I found that if I like someone enough to buy their greatest hits, I end up diving into their proper studio albums and then have no use for the greatest hits collections anymore. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers amazing Live…

I replied to that commenter as well, but it’s never cool to comment on someone’s body, even though it is still more acceptable to do so if they are thin. You weren’t really insulting like the OP, but you still have no reason to believe that she has any issue causing this.

This is an ignorant and insensitive comment. Do you have some sort of inside knowledge of why she is thin?

My wife and I are both big Tom Petty fans. There are a few albums that are almost always part of our road trips. They aren’t necessarily our favorite Petty albums, then again I probably couldn’t choose a favorite if I had to. They are:

Look at the 45 degree mark on the chart. At that temperature bacterial growth is very slow. That chart also tells us that 45 degrees was code from 1965 until 1993. Was there an epidemic of people having food poisoning for that 30 year time period?

Honestly though it is “mostly safe” at 45 degrees as this chart demonstrates. As one would probably expect, the risk goes up with temperature until it reaches the point where it kills bacteria. You can see here that food kept at 45 degrees poses a lot less danger than food kept at 80 degrees. Time is also obviously a…

At least he could write a coherent paragraph. That’s saying something if you compare him to a recent US president. 

I’m wondering if there is a curve that shows the likelihood of foodborne illness vs temperature. While I fully understand why a fridge should be at 35-40 degrees, how big of a health risk would a 45 degree fridge truly be? I’d imagine it also depends on the specific types of food. 

I find the best test is cooking burgers or steaks on a cast iron skillet in the kitchen.
