Except RBG is elderly and fighting cancer. Simone Biles is young, healthy, rich, and an enormously successful athlete. I’m white, so I won’t pass judgment on whether it’s racist, but I can’t imagine any similar article being written about a male athlete. Ironic condescension is still condescension. (Oh, and she’s…

Exactly. Pepperoni & pineapple pizza, with a generous shake of red pepper before serving, is the Food Of The Gods.

Ghirardelli dark chocolate (or double chocolate, in a pinch) mix brownies really are The Bomb. Every time I bring them somewhere, people ask for the recipe, and I don’t even doctor them. 

Yup, 7Up with sherbet is a winner. A fruit sorbet would probably also work just fine. 

Not at all! My mom’s made-from-scratch recipe is on the top of the pyramid (bechamel FTW!), and the Whole Foods hot bar recipe is quite nice -- very cheesy! I’ll even eat & enjoy KFC’s version.

I tried that once, and the egg didn’t remotely fit in the hole. Even the yolk alone didn’t quite fit.

Yes, and here it is: take your block of frozen ground beef and put it into a hot skillet. After the outside layer thaws, cooks, and browns, flip it over and scrape off the top layer. Repeat until all beef is cooked. Extra grease can spooned off as usual.

If you want to pull a “No True Scotsman” and argue that no entertainment site that “matters” is covering this, OK I guess, but in fact, many other outlets, including Rolling Stone, Bloomberg, Deadline, and Vulture, have also covered this story.

Can confirm: my first experience with Spam was on a class camping trip, and the smokiness of the fire indeed made it delish.

Aimee. She’s the only contestant who picked 5 truly essential items.

One tweak for an automatic drip coffeemaker is to double up on the filters. Slows things down a little bit, maybe enough to fix the sourness issue.

Once you’re done “straining out the solids”, send them straight to me, please & thank you!

Alternative: Buy a pint of ice cream.

Agreed. And 46 orders in 1 month is also not a very large number. They’re not going to annoy that many customers if they just decide to stop doing this.

Are we really all so jaded by COVID that someone dying, and the possibility that 6 other people (at least) may also become very ill or die, are secondary to our sorrow about not getting our favorite tortillas for a few weeks? I’m really appalled at the tone of this piece.

Absolutely, and that’s not even what Conlon said — “the restaurant for the foreseeable future is dead.” I think saying that it’ll be a different landscape for, perhaps, the next year or two is accurate, but I do believe that dining out will go back to its pre-COVID ways after that.
