No, it doesn’t. Someone still using is not considered to be in recovery. In a lot of programs someone who hasn’t used for years might still be considered “recovering”.

Moscow Mules were invented to sell Cock ‘n’ Bull ginger beer and Smirnoff vodka. It’s not that unusual an origin story for a cocktail, honestly.

I don’t get this:

Cooked avocado is so gross, though... slimy and weird tasting.

This is a dumb take (“Fredo” is not an ethnic slur, it’s an insult based on a fictional character. “Guido” would be) but it’s also kind of dumb that Splinter wastes so many inches on the authors’ Twitter hate-crushes.

Looks cool.

The chewiness is the best thing about an elephant ear!

Indian fry bread is visually similar to an elephant ear, but elephant ear dough is yeast-raised while fry bread is chemically leavened (baking powder). Also, elephant ear dough is richer and has sugar added.

That’s what we call an elephant ear in Oregon. The pastry Kate shows above is known to me as a palmier. I’ve never actually seen a funnel cake but I have a vague idea of what it is (and it is unlike either an elephant ear or a palmier).

Yes. Not only is it not sliced as thin as the heirloom, but Chang’s photo shows several layers of thinly sliced tomato. I still think he’s wrong overall, but this is an apples and tomatoes comparison.

It’s not really an important mechanic, though. You can beat the game without it, and it only has a limited impact early on since he leaves after your first conversation.

It’s just annatto.

This kind of reminds me of how multiple coworkers I was discussing this game with recently had no idea whatsoever that korok seeds could be traded in for anything. Because instead of going on the clearly signposted route to the first main plot event they wandered off at random and ended up visiting Kakariko Village…

Why do you do this? What purpose does it serve for you?

I always got a bit of a “protesting too much” impression from Guinness about Star Wars. He wanted the fat stacks but also to be seen as too good for the material. I’m sure it was tiresome being so well-known for a role he didn’t really think was great, but...

Yeah, I thought the article was actually really positive about something that’s increasingly striking me as a very intentional affectation. I don’t actually believe Paltrow is this out of touch with her work, but I do believe she’d like to be seen as someone who’s just kind of floating through life experiencing things…

More cynically, it’s about as easy to see how a Sims movie would work than, say, a movie about emojis (which made four times its budget) or a Lego movie (7x its budget). It’s a brand name, an aesthetic, and plot-wise a totally blank canvas. My guess is that the only reason it hasn’t gone into production is because the…

I was going to object to saying Duke Nukem sucks, but everything you said about him is true. He does suck. It’s just that he’s supposed to suck. Like Travis Touchdown.

My favorite thing about this and the other videos I’ve seen of Pépin making omelettes is how he’s clearly “protesting too much” in his repeated insistence that country omelettes are just fine before going back to talk about how amazing the classic omelette is and highlighting desirable qualities of it that differ from…

I think even if the really wet scrambled eggs aren’t to one’s taste, most Americans could do with cooking their scrambled eggs like 25% lower and slower to get it to “tender and fluffy” rather than “bouncy”.
