Indeed. I strongly suspect that if banana/plantain peels had any real culinary use beyond stunt cooking—really questionable bacon imitations, etcetera—we’d be seeing them specified as an ingredient in Central/South American cuisines.

Looks like the recipe relies on process-to-sludge-in-food-processor: “Step 3: Weigh the bananas; you want 11.2 ounces (320 grams). Cut off any extra and refreeze for another use. In a food processor, puree the bananas and peels until smooth. (You may see tiny dark specks of the peel; that’s okay.)“

There’s a transitive usage listed at https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/american_english/balk that kinda fits—”[transitive] balk somebody (of something) [usually passive] (formal) to prevent someone from getting something or doing something * She looked like a lion balked of its prey.”. But the…

The map of favorite Thanksgiving sides, provided by Zippia, is surprisingly varied.

I think this is an outlandish theory. However, it explains a whoooole lot of nagging questions--so maybe people who’ve played the game should check their computers for syphilis.

Elle (Jessica Henwick) remembers her home being on a sunny street surrounded by trees, which doesn’t make any sense in the dystopia of Blade Runner’s perpetually gloomy Los Angeles.

Eh, she was the not-technically-a-wife-chief-concubine of the head of one of the great houses—someone important enough to own nuclear weapons and get handed the franchise to manage Arrakis. These are wealthy people; they’re going to be customers for spice, even if they’re not doing so much of it for their eyeballs to…

That “The Spice” thing that everyone who’s read Dune keeps going on about? One of the reasons it’s as valuable in the fictional universe as it is is it extends lifespan, up to a factor of about three. Thus, you could argue from canon for the woman playing Jessica to be eight years older then the guy playing…

Sugar’s LD50 (median lethal dose)

Nonsense.  According to my calculations, I’ve already eaten 261 pieces of fun-sized candy over the last fifty years, and nothing’s going to happen as I finish this o

SLS is a double whammy—it suppresses the sweet receptors, which I knew about, but also wipes out phospholipids in the saliva, effectively powering up the bitterness receptors, which I didn’t know about. (The American Chemical Society has a blurb around a two minute video here: https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressro…

Check the news. We haven’t even managed to get all the way out of the 1930s.

Last edited time, I expect. Note that the stock image yacht has been replaced with one of 3deluxe’s renders.

Varies from family to family. One approach is to get groomed and dressed before breakfast. I believe—but I do not have a citation for it—that this was also somewhat normalized by television in the 1950s. A morning breakfast scene would feature people already dressed to the nines without a hair out of place, who then…

“It does not include sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as an ingredient, a cleaning agent prevalent in toothpaste that contributes to the bitter aftertaste from brushing your teeth with toothpaste and then drinking OJ.”

Yeah, I flunked that one repeatedly.

Was that chocolate sauce?
