For the sake of pedantry, would it still be a ‘shelf life’ if it has to be refrigerated? Doesn’t the name imply “the life of an item while it sits on the shelf”?

But your commenting on an article that says this method has been tested and shown to be effective but inefficient (which means ‘wrong’ in the restaurant business).

Have you tried it cham’s way or are you just dismissing it out of hand because that’s the way you were taught? If the pasta starts cooking at 180, then…

The ‘everything in moderation’ mantra needs to die. We know, for example, that there is no safe level of consumption for processed meat. Eating it, even in moderation, is harmful to one’s health. The same is true for trans fats.

Legumes are anything that grew in a pod - so peas, beans and lentils. Peanuts are kind of the odd one out in the group and I haven’t seen anyone specifically recommending them (without conflicting interests) since they are high in fat and don’t have any benefits not present in lower-fat legumes.

And seafood has been…

Love me some hydrogen chloride on a cold Christmas morning.

I was referring to the upright-recumbent tandem. The story makes it even more awesome :)

That is possibly the greatest invention of all time.

Using a baking sheet as opposed to a deeper dish prevents you from making turkey broth when you cook your turkey.. Add a bit of water in the bottom of the pan with onions, carrots and celery and when the bird is done, pour off the drippings, separate the fat and solids, and add it to some roux and you have nearly…

I thought those jumpsuits were horrible first time I saw them. They look awesome in context, though! And those proton guns are going to be HOT in the cosplay scene. Hope the movie is good... I’d hate to have yet another childhood memory trampled on

I think like love, passion comes with understanding. The very second I understood what could be accomplished with programming, I had an immense passion for computers that never died. It did develop, but even if I were to leave every computer behind for a decade, I would still have that passion, because it spoke to who…

Well, James Earl Jones’ face doesn’t make my heart go dokidoki. His voice is pure gold pressed latinum, but his face is only awesome because it contains the hole his voice comes out of.

“Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s fork out lots of money to get the most beautiful actress in the business today and then make her entirely CGI!”

I know Lupita’s value goes beyond her appearance, but if I’m paying for Lupita (by proxy in the ticket) I should be able to see Lupita.

So, we’re blaming climate change for earthquakes now? I’m sure it’s causing these mass shootings, too. Can we pin any other ‘Scary Thing’ on it?

Botulinum toxin is not heat stable. It is deactivated at about 180 degrees F

I think it was one of the greatest choices in the season. No one would have mourned for Robyn (they’d be glad to see her go). Most people probably didn’t mourn Ruben either, but seeing Robyn’s grief is in very sharp contrast to how dehumanized they were earlier in the season.

It’s a very calculated move. You can see…

The IPCC has downgraded our climate change alert status from ‘fiery flood red-orange’ to a ‘slightly drought parched lawn yellow-green’ (these are new Crayola colors that were actually submitted by Al Gore. I really like his ‘drowned polar bear white’ best.).

This should be very easy to substantiate or refute. I can’t think of any other group of people who would be more willing to submit to testing than those who are neurotic and want proof that they’re not. Put them in a clean room for a week and cover them with non-linting clothes of a single fiber type and note any new…

I’m not OK with this. Meteorology is a science. These women are scientists, so their uniforms should CLEARLY ALL BE BLUE. The anchor should be wearing gold, the sports girl should be wearing red (because eff sports). That’s just common sense.

The sword is cool and all, but a perfectly looping gif of real world action??? Epic!

I think my CFO read this article this morning.. At our townhall meeting he said “You notice that we didn’t get into the green on all of our goals. That’s OK. If we were all green, I’d say we weren’t being aggressive enough with our goals.”
