Isn’t David Puddy the role he’s most known for?

How about something a little more useful like a ruler? Think of how many recipes call for cutting something into 1 inch cubes, or for rolling dough to a quarter inch thickness. 

I recently read Jacques Pepin’s latest book, “The Art of the Chicken”, and learned that silkies have black meat and bones. I’d assume most people who have them in their backyards will probably never see it firsthand, but it would definitely be interesting to try cooking one up. 

I was hoping to learn something useful that I might do at home, but this wasn’t really that. Other than spending 3 months working for a caterer when I was 15 I have not worked in a professional kitchen. I don’t recall people shouting “behind” there, but I do this at home. I’m not sure where I picked up on it, but it…

I don’t really worry about that in the moment. Cowgirl is also our go-to, so that probably results in less of it getting everywhere. 

It’s a rare enough issue that I don’t feel the need to make that purchase. Most of the time  it’s apparent that there is going to be a mess, and if it’s a dish I remove from the pan prior to serving I’ll pour in a little water to “deglaze” the pan and scrape it with a utensil. That usually does the job. 

It depends on the pan. I cook with cast iron almost every day, and soaking it in the sink is a no-go. On the rare occasion it gets really gunked up, boiling some water in it usually does a good job to loosen things up. No, I’m not a cast iron fetishist, I use soap when I clean it and don’t think it’s some mystical…

I disagree with this one. My wife and I use lubricant every time, it and makes things more enjoyable for us. There is absolutely such a thing as too much though. If we go overboard there isn’t enough friction for me to derive a whole lot of feeling from it.

Not really, but one can dream. 

“Choose dark chocolates with low levels of heavy metals

I’ve been using this stuff for years, and it’s fantastic for many of the applications listed here. I also find it works great on my enamel gas stovetop.

I understand why that might suck, but that isn’t a good reason to force people back to work unnecessarily. Maybe go to the office even if you don’t have to? You would have a chance to meet other like-minded individuals who actually want to be in the office. Another option is to participate in hobbies outside of work…

My company is trying to coral us back into the office a few days per week. One of my coworkers who I genuinely like as a person told me that one of the few positives is celebrating birthdays in the office again. I told her how much I vehemently disagreed with her. I hate forced office birthday celebrations. I’m not…

I disagree with this. I’m a well-paid professional, trying to lure me back to the office with coffee pods and snacks is insulting, I can provide these things for myself. Also, I don’t need forced social events at the office. I have my own social life outside of work. 

I’m just holding out hope someone finally picks up the Tim Whatley spinoff Schtickle of Fluoride.

Woodward. It’s too busy, and I don’t like roads that run on a diagonal, unless of course I’m going in the direction where it is more efficient. 

It’s better than them forcing themselves onto my phone. I still can’t figure out how to make that damn album go away. Sometimes I think it’s finally gone forever, then it rears its head again. 

My biggest question about a successor is whether or not they outfit it with non-defective analog sticks. 

Eh, it also ruins the realism of the game for me. Are Hylians such terrible metal workers that their swords break after hitting a target a dozen times? 

I used to be the guitar player in a blues band, I understand this. I’m just being pedantic.
