The bread story somewhat reminds me of something that happened to me the first time I was in New Zealand.

Yeah, that troll don't bother me. My grandma used to say " who wants to go to Heaven and listen to harps and drink milk and honey? I want to go to Hell because that's where the party is! They probably have barbecue!" If there is a Heaven, she's there and I'm sure it's the party she wanted!

They did not unknowingly serve sei, or serve it posing as sushi. They went out of their way to get it, it is considered a delicacy in Japan (though there is a generational divide there where some older people eat it and many younger people consider that a problem), it wasn't listed on the menu but was produced only…

This is what the Peacock Flower looks like IRL. It's been renamed Caesalpinia pulcherrima. I've seen it used a lot in desert xeroscaping.

It's sad that the recipes didn't get handed down. We've got the internet now — everyone should have this information In Case Of Handmaid's Tale.

My grandmother was the go-to person if you were a girl "in trouble." She would never tell me the full concoction she used to induce abortions, only that it was "safe and clean." Her whole thing was about helping people rather than go to a back-alley doctor. (One nearly killed my aunt. It's a miracle she was able to…

Sriracha is the fedora of hot sauce accoutrement

I was behind someone in Golden Corral (I was a kid, no choice in the matter) and the guy in front of us tried to tell the server that he wanted his steak raw, not rare, but it was OK because he was a vampire.
They refused. #vampireseatgoldencorraltoo

I volunteer at a shelter kitchen, and I have seen guests dump all sorts of things into grits, including large amounts of sugar (before piling on the cheese). I have also seen people concoct drinks with half and half that make me feel like I'm getting diabetes just watching the assembly.

Sriracha on toast with avocado is amazingly delicious.

the first time i ever heard the word shit, i was a very young child and my mother was was making creamed chipped beef on toast because my dad was feeling nostalgia for the army. he told us that's what the army called it.

oh god its all so bad

Yeah, I was a back seat passenger in a car that was t-boned by someone running a red light. After we stopped spinning and came to a rest and we all stopped spinning, I realized I was on the floor of the backseat (not wearing a seatbelt), I could feel blood running all down my face and neck and I couldn't move my arm…

"Joyce Carol Vincent, 38, wasn't discovered for two years postmortem, then surrounded by the Christmas presents she'd been wrapping while watching television."

It's a dry insanity...

My husband came home one afternoon from running errands, looking like he'd seen a ghost, and seemed a little unsteady on his feet. Immediately concerned (because he's a really laid-back guy), I asked him what was wrong. He said, while waiting in traffic, he saw a man tending one of those big BBQ grills on wheels go up…

Poor Arby's....save a man from immolation, and he will still choose Taco Bell.

Wat.

Agreed. This was a biology class, the students are teenagers not little kids, they were allowed to excuse themselves from the class, and the teacher raises animals for consumption so he probably knew what he was doing. Maybe the result was some students decided they didn't want to eat meat any longer, maybe some…
