Sure, but things changed over time. Modernity, not so much.

I recall scrambling for a pencil when Julia Child came on TV, although I have no memory of her specific show, later the same thing with The Galloping Gourmet in Canada. By Martin Yan’s time I was learning more technique than copying recipes. Today, all…

I wish I could show you the video link but it isn’t worth searching for.

I’m being sincere.

I knew you were going to mention that because I’ve seen it on TV commercials.

As a Canadian—indirect price comparisons—I was surprised at the improvement in quality from Taco Bell (TB) to TacoTime (TT), so I listen when Americans joke about TB. TT can be sad but I like them for what they are. The worst thing about TB was everything else like attitudes, mistakes, atmosphere, and tiny servings.…

I recently watched an online video from some self-promoter who was demonstrating how to eat while homeless for $10 per day.

After some internal “oh c’mon, man” I realized your advice is sometimes the foundation of TV shows. There must be people out there who shop like you described and think nothing of it, regardless of budget. I hope things like cut fruits mostly appeal to people with needs, like my aforementioned C6(maybe?) friend who…

No. Good point, but I’m not about to defend the nameless; I’m talking about people who claimed to be trained on MSOffice.

That would explain why the wiki page kept mentioning corned beef to bacon. I just assumed bacon was a given in North America from a North American author’s perspective, but it makes sense if the Irish wished they had corned beef instead because of English denial, even if bacon was available.

At least Liz got her ramen first. I suspect somebody who would write that doesn’t like ice cream.

Your wisdom is beyond the realm of online participation, sifu.

I’d support the exact opposite; who cares about the cart when everything will be handled several times anyway, while I can at least protect some cold items in my insulated bag until they get in the fridge at home, which could be over an hour.

Fake news! Next you’ll be telling us a 1/3lb burger is bigger than 1/4lb when it’s obviously a smaller number.

I can confirm there are people using computers daily who do not know copy/cut/paste exists. And I’m an asshole for trying to explain the advantage of it.

Excellent point about packaging, no distinction between in, out, or delivery. Breakfast at Tiffany wouldn’t exist if the food came in a wrapper. I hate the idea of doggie bags, like I’m desperate to retain caloric potential, and fish en papillote needs to be sans the damn paper if it’s on my plate.

I shouldn’t be so hard on Angela, but she’s definitely Queen of Trivial. Now, I check the author first and read with adjusted expectations.

Now that you mention it, steamy broccoli, maybe with sauce, is great, but on pizza mixed with other toppings is just wrong. Read what you can into that.

If you poke a hole in the top and the bottom, you can shotgun pudding. A lot of that fun went away with plastic containers because they implode.

I prefer tuna in broth, excellent eating straight or for any purpose, drained or doctored. I find the most expensive canned tuna to actually be flavourless texture, like buying the most expensive triple-distilled fancy vodka when Stoli has real character.

I thought people ate KD from the pot because they didn’t actually own any dishes.
