Just mechanically speaking, eating food with COVID-19 viral particles in it will probably just result in the viral particles being dissolved in stomach acid if the particles weren’t already killed during cooking. The concern would be particles that incidentally got into your respiratory system - say by putting your…

I thought Nocturne originally came without Dante, but then he was added in the director’s cut ~ which was the version that was ported to the US? 

They did a promo on Twitter which ended on the 7th where for promoting this silly ad campaign they pledged to donate 10 boxes of the product to Feed The Children. I’ll do any stupid tweet like this to send even a dollar from corporations to a food bank.

In other news I made Cheeseburger Mac for dinner last night.…

Right on! I use the microwave to take the chill off the water I’m going to bake with. I just stir it and give it a few seconds to even out the temperature. Just like like all microwave cooking ... you have to let it set a bit so the heat can distribute.

Somewhat, but it was an album that rekindled their popularity at the time. It went to 7 on the album charts and the single Ordinary World hit number 1.  That song will always be special to me because it came out around the time my mother passed away from cancer and it was a powerful coping song for me. (It was…

The yellow squash is hard right? It should last for weeks in a cool dry place. For the zucchini I recommend tacos! Just wash, trim, and small piece chop them up and fry along with black beans, corn, onion, and your favorite salsa to make a delicious filling. Season to taste or throw in a packet.

Later I recommend…

Duran Duran has 2 albums that are self-titled, the second one is covered with vintage pictures from the weddings of their various parents. Everyone started calling that The Wedding Album until it stuck... with it just being a word logo, well *waves hand* I’m just glad it was amicable. 

And I do see how it could be a very innocent mistake. It’s very common to refer to something as “the _____ album.” 

That is not dead which can encondiment rise, and with strange eons the mayo will again rise.

I will for sure agree on that point. For instance the last time I was in a store I needed to adjust my mask so I went over to a corner of the store away from everyone while I unlaced and relaced it. If employees need a longer break then maybe they should take an actual break and go out back or something like that.

Thanks for telling me! I guess my grill basket worked out as a decent substitute. I’ve also used it as an improvised baking rack... I’m just lucky the handles are flat rows of on top so if I flip it over it’s totally stable.

Consider heating up a pan with some oil and brisky stir-frying the left overs. You could add some new goodies if you like.

I like cooking boneless skinless chicken for chicken salad in the microwave.

This statement has elicited gasps and shock from people eating said salad. (It has tarragon in it. It’s a winner.)

The key is to just not overcook everything! With the chicken I put it in a casserole dish with a cover (slight gap) and the…

I ran out of milk recently and ended up combining in one bowl, multi-grain cheerios, full fat unflavored greek yogurt, whole almonds, and a generous tablespoon of Bonne Mamman strawberry preserves. It was amazing. And here I thought adding Coffee Mate flavored creamers to my cereal milk was so good.

I wanted to be angry but the last couple I’ve had have seemed ... different. Less tasty somehow. They seemingly changed the layering order. It used to be stupidly sideways so you’d get one layer at a time and now it’s not... and somehow it tastes worse?

Interesting! The one time I saw someone cooking these it was Kelis in a video, and she was grilling them on top of her stove on some kind of wire mesh cover. (No oil coat that I remember just toastiness.) So I went out and bought a BBQ basket and flipped it upside down and did it that way. It was a success! But…

In honor of the luscious graphic accompanying this article I just want to make sure everyone knows: you can microwave corn on the cob with NO prep work at all. NONE. NONE. 3 minutes on high for 1 ear, 5 minutes for 2-3, times will vary per microwave/not all microwaves can handle 3 quite as well. After cooking they…

More like a hush puppy with creamed corn filling.

Huh, the Ann Arbor fringe area stripmall location is staying open but the high end suburban mall location is closing... I suppose it’s a combination of the downward trend at malls and the affluence in Ann Arbor...

Thank you for the suggestion, I had really not considered them!
