It was always my dad who cooked, for most of my childhood. He had a certain ability to make edible food out of the absolute bare essentials.

Took the words right out of my mouth. 

Haven't you ever seen Sex, Lies and Videotape? 

That "flame-grilled" taste isn't really because the burgers are flame-grilled. They are, in a sense, but the taste comes from additives to the burger. Think something similar to liquid smoke. 

Yes, but that Big Mac’s despair tastes wonderful. 

The vast majority of people are incapable of frying something to this degree.

Just one would be fine if he’d actually hold it right-side-up, like anyone who isn't the antichrist would. 

Queso comes from the Latin word (as with most Spanish) cāseum, which literally means cheese.

Being “weird” in school is one thing. One instance of abuse or borderline abuse as a child is one thing, even.

They're being sarcastic. 

Oh they do sleep at night, like babies. It helps when you have no moral conscience. 

Jack in the box tacos; good Churro’s; good Krumkake; freshly made Cinnamon rolls; good Crepes; basically anything from Dicks (a Washington-based burger chain). 

Glad I wasn't the only one. 

If they’re writing “food-hacks” for MSN/Buzzfeed, probably not, I’d imagine. 

It works the same way with ice; salt lowers the freezing point and increases the boiling point (slightly), so water gets slightly colder before freezing, and vice versa. 

Basically anything that prevents oxidization, or contact with air. 

Once in a while I’ll catch our male cat on the kitchen counter (though, before we briefly adopted another stray male who harassed him, he never did). But neither of our cats - our younger male or our older female - get on the kitchen counters at night or when we are gone (to our knowledge, anyways).

Yes, it does work, for a while. Once the spoon gets hot enough and absorbs anough heat and water it will, eventually, still boil over. Which is basically what they said. 

I sincerely hope the chicken you buy isn't covered in notible dirt. Do you buy is locally?
