I recently got my soft Octoberfest-style pretzel recipe hitting on all cylinders, AND discovered that I can get decent spreadable pub cheese here in CA (not just in Wisconsin and Illinois).

Love soda, but I rarely drink it. If I’m enjoying one, I definitely going full octane, preferably Cherry Coke with cheese fries and a burger or hot dog. I’ll never for the life of me understand diet sodas. I’ve tried them, probably a couple dozen times (my wife used to be a Diet Coke fiend), and they just taste like…

Do they record the real thing? The video was nice, but it’d be great to see what they saw.

No fat or salt was added and I plunked ‘em in frozen! no thawing!

Second the questions.

i’m only slightly upset you didn’t try to make a hashbrown out of seasoned curly fries 

I find your question interesting as well, but more broadly - how did people end up eating a lot of the things we eat? There are so many examples of food that doesn’t look like food unless you open it - most shellfish, many types of fruit, etc. How did those things become a regular part of our diets? Food history like…

That goes to show how different each location can be. There was only one BK in my hometown 20 years ago. This was down in Orange County. We only had one Wendys too, and the Wendys was by far the better of the two.

I’ve lived in SoCal my entire life I have never heard anyone say “I’m surprised to learn it’s hated”. Everyone hates BK.

Nahhh.

To be fair, here in SoCal, Burger King’s quality went teats-up in the late ‘90s when they started letting their beef and grilled chicken sit in warming buckets for 30 minutes before either handing the customer a cold burger or throwing it in the microwave to dry it out and ruin all the toppings and then handing it to…

Sounds like Sonic.  Everybody wants a Sonic and then they opened up one nearby to me.  I tried it for the first time here and it sucked major balls.  Burger tasted like it was made 2 hours before.  The onion rings taste funky (buttermilk?) and the tot’s were the only good thing I got. The wait was overly long for the…

There’s only one way to get the real answer to this. We have to go straight to the top. The one man on the planet who knows for certain. Luckily, I know how to reach him.

You just have to write to him...

Actually, it’s always kind of annoyed me that I can’t order off the kids menu. If I want a damn grilled cheese and tater tots, I should be able to order that, not locked out by age.

If there’s milk in my fridge it’ll probably be there a long time bc I rarely drink it and hubby is lactose intolerant.

Yes, the shaking of the milk jug, and the subsequent cursing because the last person didn’t put the cap on all the way.

Not everything needs shaking but there’s no harm in discussing what does.

I shake most/all juices. If they’re in a clear bottle you can usually see stuff settled on the bottom so I figure it should be “re-homogenized” before drinking. I don’t shake milk though. I think it’s homogenized well enough that even without shaking there’s no sediment or residue at the bottom.

i love this case so much

If they have two different types of chicken and can only keep one, it should be the shredded chicken. I just always wanted a full size shredded chicken quesadilla, but instead I have to get two shredded chicken mini dillas. It’s leaps and bounds better than their non-shredded chicken
