Please let both myself and Kelis know the moment Impossible Pterodactyl is available.

Definitely with you on the fire roasted. Someone - I can’t remember if it was Contadina or Del Monte - had a chipotle variety that seems to have gone away. I used that in my oven roasted vegetable stew recipe. (The juice was used to marinate the meat, which was prepared separately; the tomatoes were mixed in with root

I usually keep at least 4 cans, 2 “plain” and 2 flavored either “Italian” style or “probably good in chilli” style.

I also am a big advocate of having a huge selection of dried herbs. If they’re dried properly, stored by you properly, and replaced when they need to be, they can even have more flavor than the fresh

I hate my fridge, in order to keep the freezer at near 0 the setting I use keeps the fridge section at about 31-33. I have had eggs freeze in their shell before. One time I didn’t drink water from a pitcher for a couple weeks and it froze into a glass-clear cylindrical plug with a beautiful hexagonal fault in the

These sound amazing. I’m just grateful that someone on Facebook mentioned they found a good whole wheat banana bread recipe and shared it when I asked, because it really was good and I only had whole wheat here in lockdown. It’s getting me through the mornings at least.

I feel like putting ranch on top of a good pizza is like adding sour cream on top of your baked potato that already has toppings. It’s a valid option but maybe not a go-to every time. It can vary a lot depending on the exact ranch and exact pizza. I do really like having ranch for the crust’s outer edge, which we used

I love mixing fresh minced garlic into softened butter and olive oil with a bit of salt to make fresh garlic butter and then just broiling any nice crusty bread with that slathered on.

And if you have garlic bread leftovers (hah, I know) or enough ingredients to make a 2nd batch, after you’ve had spaghetti fresh the

Ok but Mark Kanemura is having daily IG dance parties (5pm Eastern, @MKIK808 on Instagram) and last week on “Cut to the Feeling Friday” the Queen of Underrated Bops herself, Carly Rae Jepsen, put in an appearance. So grab your wigs, your lashes and your Pride wear because we’re having an MKIKi.

I watched all of AJ & the Queen and it was very bad but various episodes had good parts with guest appearances by different queens. The guy playing the evil ex-boyfriend gave up on not making everyone else look bad and just started killing his part as a conflicted self-loathing grifter and you know, made everyone else

I think it’s easier to say that there are 3 protagonists and their stories start at different points in the past and they slowly catch up until they are in synch. I actually thought flipping from one timeline say 20 years previous to the 2nd to see what the shakeout of certain actions was, was interesting and

A local hotel/restaurant/banquet hall closed and what they did was list their food and supplies for community purchase; you buy online, call when you’re at their site, and they’ll come out to put your groceries in the trunk of the car. Some other restaurants are doing similar curbside delivery to your trunk, so that’s

I blew up the video and I’m pretty sure there’s an egg disk there too, definitely 2 layers in its mouth. Probably the cheese is helping the egg stick to the top piece of bread.

I love good zingy gingersnaps! I recently got Facebook friends to scour their libraries to find out when Joy of Cooking stopped suggesting we add “a few grains of cayenne” to the book’s recipe. (Wildly it disappeared and reappeared at certain years and in certain editions that weren’t supposed to be different.)

Marnie I’m going to go with you for the win on this one. Unfortunately, while I adore apple pie, I didn’t like Aimee’s other entrants nearly as well. Things were very close between you and Allison but I had mincemeat pie once and uh I’m voting hard no for that whole roster because of it.

I’d like to share my own apple

I ask this just out of curiosity, if the requirement is just no-yeast, would Chinese spring onion pancakes be a valid item to eat as a break from matzo? They’re so delicious anyway...!

One of the things I dislike most is when an Alfredo sauce simply doesn’t taste cheesy. Like, at all. It’s just some kind of generic vaguely creamy white sauce. If you can’t make it at least as cheesy tasting as a jar of 5 Brothers (now Bertolli) Alfredo, don’t bother serving it under that name. Just call it pasta with

What IS this revisionist history nonsense? They listed the Baja Chulupa and completely erased the Santa Fe Chalupa. There used to be original/supreme, Baja, and Santa Fe style options. Santa Fe had a roasted corn/pepper mix and I think a few black beans mixed in. It went away first and then we had Supreme or Baja

I do not understand this hate for dried thyme. I think it’s perfectly fine and thyme is one of the easiest herbs to dry properly and it lasts very well when properly stored and holds its flavor. I can understand preferring to use fresh sprigs to make it easier to pull out as opposed to using a little cheesecloth bag

Wow these options don’t look nearly as good as the OLD Wendy’s breakfast menu I didn’t know had been discontinued until I heard about this new one.

Seems pretty obvious they want to do this game as a service. You buy it and then buy it again each year as you add another episode to the content. If they stay 99% the same system for every episode only tweaking system bits that don’t work, it’ll save them a lot of money. The question remains is it going to be an epic
