It was pretty funny, too:

No, actually, it’s not “all we can do.” We can turn out for off-year Congressional elections and state lege elections.

Just replace it in you mind with Charlie Pierce’s name for him: the zombie-eyed granny-starver.

I thought Olivia DeHaviland won this battle in 1937!

Ah, that’s cheating. Sweet corn is “milky.” When you make creamed corn, you “milk” the cobs to get the last milky deliciousness out of them.

If you need to continue, may I recommend pears and turnips? I found it in a hippie cookbook in their Finnish chapter, and it’s a lovely combination, and in season!

I caramelize onions in my slow cooker and freeze them.

I’ve been making creme fraiche, myself. Easy-peasy, unless it gets cold and you haven’t turned on the heat yet.

A lot of people dig mashed cauliflower! You might try them on their own before besmirching your meat layer with something you might not like.

I have a recipe for umami-ing up turkey burgers that includes soy sauce, sardines, and Vegemite. There’s also Maggi seasoning, which my Seventh Day Adventist-raised vegetarian friend likes a lot.

My church had Oktoberfest, and it sounded like everybody was going to bring hot potato salad or sauerkraut, so I chose to make a kohlrabi (and potato) gratin.

SYNERGY!

All y’all youngun’s going for safety razors are cute, but there’s a reason my mom (God rest her soul) and millions like her leapt at the Daisy razor back in the day.

I know, right? I just caught an old episode of PBS’s History Detectives that told the whole story. It really is interesting, with near-religious devotion to economic philosophy and skulduggery and patent attorneys!

What? So a late-night talk show host is supposed to go all Mike Wallace on people? That’s just dumb.

She did nothing of the sort. Why are you making shit up?

Yeah, science and dumbass.

Bless his heart.

Thank you. I just did the typesetting for studies that proved/disproved “common sense” when I worked for a pediatric medical journal.

There are credentials that can be stripped. Andrew Wakefield, the jackhole behind the MMR-autism study, cannot practice medicine ever again.
