I love making my own yogurt. As you say, there are benefits to having a supply of plain yogurt — if you want a particular flavor, just stir some fruit preserves, or granola, or honey and vanilla into that day’s serving. If you want to marinate chicken, marinate chicken. Yogurt-making is really pretty easy, and a lot…

This is pretty much it, most international cuisines just tweak the recipe for the American palate. Sometimes it the unavailability of an ingredient as well.

Nice, I hope you do give it a chance. Might I suggest if you’re feeling adventurous and haven’t yet tried it, ask for some mixed pickle on the side. At worst they won’t have it, at best you might get a nod and some extra cred from the server (assuming they’re Indian). To me no Indian meal is complete without some well…

When I cook Indian at home, it’s probably around 80% veg (not including rice) to 20% protein. I think it’s too bad more Indian restaurants don’t do a thali style offering that would get you much more variety and a better balance of veg to protein ratio.

I like the phrase “Add the right amount not the white amount” when it comes to various culture’s food styles. It almost always boils down to that recipes end up not being similar to the original version due to ingredient availability, the tastes and prefs of Americans, and process. A few people I go out for Thai food…

First, it seems wrongly sized for sandwiches. Secondly, $10 a loaf?! Fuggeddaboudit!

But not so long that a nascent civilisation starts to form on the lid.

Fun fact the McRib is made of Sheeple. 

“He’s just too extreme.”

Its almost as if racism and other undesirable traits are not intrinsically linked to one’s core political persuasion...almost as if people can be sorted into more than two categories...but thats just crazy, right?

I think that right-wingers are extremely selfish and do not care about other people, and they lack the intelligence/imagination to figure out why they should care about other people. Until they become the other people. But, they will only support something that directly affects themselves. Like this woman may speak…

I think that’s wishful thinking. This is a perfect encapsulation of what, to me, if the defining characteristic of your average conservative voter—lack of empathy. Something is bad or wrong until I am personally affected in a direct or adverse way by it. I tend to think this blocks most of them from even theoretically…

Agreed. The above trends aren’t slutty. I’m fine with slutty. But whale tails are just so fucking stupid looking.

It’s not protecting ME

How about random, shitty tiny tattoos that look like your 8-year-old brother drew on you with a Sharpie -- can THAT be over?

I saw an article today that touted how the federal deficit has been cut in half in the last year. IN HALF!!! How is this not in 1500 pt font on the front page of every news outlet? How is it not huge news across the entire country? Oh, because it occurred during a Democratic administration, so it just gets ignored by…

You don’t have to feel sympathy for her. Having people, doesn’t matter who, telling their stories like this is something that unfortunately needs to keep happening from now until election day because the American public has the attention span of a two-year-old, apparently.

The reality is that people like her are the only ones that actually have a CHANCE to change the minds of those around them. The voice has to come from inside the house. Conservatives have done a perfect job of created sealed echo-chambers and creating voters who automatically reject anything said by anyone they…

How am I supposed to feel about an ardent memeber of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party that only changes their mind after a leopard has started gnawing on their nose?

Republican morality at its finest. She wanted to hurt OTHER people so much.
