Nah. Go 80/20, and season the meat simply; I go with onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Roll it into balls (about 1/4 lb each), let them chill in the fridge for a bit, and then smash them down into the skillet with a light amount of grease (I usually go with bacon fat), trying to make them just about as thin as…

This article ignores the other major problem with Bond’s drink order... when Fleming was writing the books, “martini” referred solely to a gin/vermouth combination, while a mix of vodka and vermouth was called a Kangaroo Cocktail. Having suave spy James Bond saunter up to a bar and order a “kangaroo, shaken,” would…

I’ve somehow managed to make it onto some sort of robocall list where a woman named “Ann” is trying to sell me health insurance. Ann calls me at least a dozen times a day from numbers around the country (what a traveler!) to let me know about all the deals she has available.

Similar note: try Pimento Cheese on a BLT.

Exactly!  Although I also add dill, cream cheese, and pickled jalapenos to mine. But I read this recipe and thought “why on earth wouldn’t I just make pimento cheese instead,” which, I can assure you, is fantastic on a burger.

“Huey Long Assassinated, Cajun-Style: Dies Real Spicy-Like”

I went to one for the first time recently. My general impressions:

This is just a ploy to kill Drew Magary, isn’t it?

The “Turkey Cheese Head” shirt is actually the artwork he designed for Julee Cruise’s second album: The Voice of Love

He did pragmatically admit the reality of the situation. If he kept going out to gay bars, he’d get outed and fired. That was the reality and completely out of Roger’s hands.

The nonfiction book (a major bestseller) was released four years before Allen’s comedic adaptation of it; I tend to think it’s more of a reference to the book (one of the first sex manuals widely available) than a reference to Allen, but I don’t have any proof one way or the other.

Yep; I never even really saw the slogan as clunky, mostly because I never really saw it as anything other than a direct reference to the book. The book was, of course, a massive bestseller, and it had a massive impact on changing American attitudes towards sex. In that regard, the show’s use of the slogan could…

And, of course, the elevator needed to travel up, around a curve, horizontally, and back down again doesn’t exist, apart from the one belonging to a Mr. Wonka.

Donald Trump would like to push German automakers off of American roads.

You forgot Cafe Brulot. Boozy coffee counts as a dish, right?

EXACTLY!

I’ve been telling him and his awful schtick to go to hell for YEARS now; hopefully he’ll stay there.

I usually end up making a giant bowl of punch for a few parties each year, and honestly, I’m happy with just making one giant block of ice for the bowl, and letting it slowly dilute the drink over the course of the evening. Sure, the drink is not as potent later in the night as it was at the start, but in many ways,…

I’m apparently so lazy, I didn’t bother calling myself an activist, or referring to sometimes avoiding a place as a form of activism. Which, you know, would have been a little funny if I had, right after saying I do eat there.

There definitely are, and I make use of them whenever I have the time. But in situations - far too common - where I have 3 hours to travel 180 miles in order to pick up my kids on time, or 4.5 hours to get from, say, Houston to Baton Rouge for a meeting, I often don’t have time for that (though, in that last case, I…
