That’s how I got good. It was either starve, go broke, or figure out how to do things economically and well.

Bleh. I’m in Ireland and coddle has thankfully disappeared from most menus that don’t cater to naive tourists (the food scene is pretty good here these days).

Oh my God, this is a glorious idea. 

It was a lovely headline either way. 

There are definitely differences in bean flavors, though this probably has a lot to do with the freshness of the beans and minor differences in preservation and strain. This did read like an advertisement for a particular bean company though, so perhaps next time the editors could invest in a range of fancy beans for…

America is the only place that uses such distended, tasteless chickens. Hopefully this is a wakeup to the major producers.

Oh yes. I’ve also used a splash of brandy before I added the stock. 

While at a French brasserie in Lebanon, they sent out a little cup of this as an amuse bouche and I almost abandoned the menu to order a giant vat of it for my meal. Done well it’s amazing. 

Good call. Good stock can make a real difference.

I’m not sure if it’s the chieftain of puddings. Unless you count Robert the Bruce’s leprous father in Braveheart (although apparently he wasn’t even Scottish).

I’m cool with salmon, but cod can suck my balls. 

When I lived in Lebanon, I ate some combination of olives, eggs, flatbread, beans, cheese/strained yogurt and vegetables for breakfast and I loved it. 

I spent a week and a half in Sweden during September a few years ago and the only thing about the place that wasn’t alarmingly nice, pleasant or convenient was the conversion rate between Kroner and dollars, which was clearly my problem and not theirs. I was definitely not prepared for how good the food would be.

My favorite childhood pizza place in Phoenix made pizza in this style and now I miss it. 

That’s probably fine, just don’t drink or cook with it. 

The heating does potentially leech metal from the heater cistern, and we also have to remember that the cisterns that store the hot water are probably fucking appallingly dirty and filled with sediment and residues that form during the heating process. Mains water is better, filtered is best, but never the hot water.

N…

It’s kind of both. Soleimani is detested throughout the Arab Middle East by parties and groups who oppose Iranian influence and/or are threatened by the militarization of certain groups of their society. He’s not popular among many Iranians either for his role in the crackdowns on protesters. Many of my Iraqi friends…

What you’ll need depends on what sort of crisis you anticipate facing. The few scenarios where one might need a go-bag would be things like high intensity hurricanes or fires, where you need to GTFO quickly. For most crises you want to stay put and hunker down because your home is literally your shelter, which will…

I’m just hoping my hotmale.com account wasn’t affected by this.
