“St. Louis Bread Company” evokes a place and food and maybe craft. “Panera” evokes a marketing committee and focus groups.

Well, grilled cheese and ketchup (or tomato soup) is just a deconstructed pizza, and who doesn’t like pizza?

I once had someone show up at my door uninvited. He gave me $10,000 to rent my house for two days to shoot a TV show.

Somebody’s been watching Goldfinger.

That’s first degree murder. Second degree murder (Calif.) requires only malice, which can be implied from circumstances showing that you ought to know your unprovoked actions will likely kill somebody, and you did it anyway.

If you can help, by all means help. Otherwise, safely clear away from the area you rubbernecker.

More like “Clog the scene with the desire to be perceived as having good intentions.”

I knew someone who commuted from Davis to Pomona (421 miles each way). Granted, it was only once or twice a week, but it was enough to destroy his lumbar spine and render him in constant excruciating pain.

Porsche 944. It should be trivially easy to achieve 50-50 weight distribution in an EV. And make it fast this time.

You know, this is basically a fancier version of German cucumber salad, gurkensalat, a very Old-World-y, comfortable, easy thing to make, and which is my favorite thing to pair with chicken paprikash or ghoulash.

Carl’s Jr.’s fried zucchini is awesome.

Green Burrito used to have a fantastic fish taco. I’m not sure if they still do or not. 

I’m sure the real reason is aesthetics. Animals that we eat don’t generally make psychoactive or pharmacological substances. If a burger, an egg, or a glass of milk is messing you up, you are going to get MESSED UP, and not in that fun kind of way. We don’t associate animal products with the ability to do stuff to us,…

I have never seen Turkish coffee served with any kind of dairy added. I’m not saying it’s never done - I’ve just never seen it.

You’re right, but I’d point out that they’re not really being malicious or greedy by doing so. They’re legally bound by attorney ethics rules to be zealous advocates. You could literally turn around and sue them if they fail to push every reasonable advantage on your behalf. It takes a bit of maturity, confidence, and …

“That makes you the plaintiff and your spouse the defendant. And that makes a big difference.”

You don’t need any of this fancy-shmanciness if you just chew them well enough.

I’m sure there are ways to make the drink taste good. Another café in my city has its own version made with orange blossom syrup instead of juice, and the so-called Spritzy Americano, espresso and soda water with just a splash of orange juice, looks promising, but these both require finesse on the barista’s part.

Do you apply that rule to yourself when you find a car leaving in a lot with, like, five cars fighting for every open spot? 

Carp is on the menu at many Chinese restaurants if you’d like to give them a try, cooked about a thousand different ways. You might not get one of the species infesting U.S. waters, but they’ll probably all taste about the same - pretty clean, not too strong or fishy, but with a faint flavor of mud. The flesh is soft…
