For a while the classic ‘whack the ball of flavored chocolate’ proliferated into many variations including milk chocolate + raspberry and dark chocolate + key lime. I guess they burned out and shrank the product line back, and now have to ID this as “Chocolate Orange Style Treat BUT: mint chocolate”. Questionable move…

Well I had been craving sushi ... maybe I’ll just get a California roll.

Dennis for the win.

I got it stuck in my head for a couple days... but now that you describe it that way do you think he made it with the intent of adding remix versions to jazz it up later? I mean if he can get any members of BTS to dress up as elves, that justifies everything.

RIGHT? The joke was that he used Alexa for grocery shopping and she bought the chain last time...

Hm. I wonder...
Jeff Bezos “Siri, buy all of Taylor Swift’s early albums.”
Siri: “Ok I bought the masters to Taylor’s first six albums.”
Jeff Bezos: “Oh geeze it’s Whole Foods all over again...”

If you include spinach too, the situation is markedly more concerning. I think that the problem stems from so few commercial farms (mostly in California) growing all this produce. Contamination at 1 site affects a lot of the market. Really growing lettuce in a pot should be easy but it’s a struggle for me. 

The way romaine gets contaminated so often I feel like I really need to step up my salad greens efforts in next year’s home garden. 

I tried the apple fritter the other night. I thought it was pretty good, at the upper end of a grocery store bakery apple fritter. B+. However, it was pretty small and cost $2.29. I can go to the local family bakery which has a drive-through and for $1.20 get a 50% larger and 35% tastier fritter so... I guess it’s ok…

Not to mention the tasty tasty sauce that comes in two spice levels: yes, and no.

Well it’s an investment. You know you can engage in trade with the corvids. They’re that smart. If nothing else it could be good will money.

I’m going to guess that hash brown casserole is AKA cheesy potatoes, a casserole-like mixture of shredded potato, cream soups (usually 1 cream of celery and the other cream of mushroom but substitutions are valid), just enough milk to thin the soups, onion, sour cream, and a lot of cheese. My experience is a a…

I liked that she also mentioned charitble donations as an option. If you like a streamer and say they’re known for supporting some charity even if it’s local no-kill animal shelters, saying “You inspired me to donate $50 to the Humane society!” might be really appreciated.

That sounds great, I would try that! I’d love to get my hands on wasabi. Lately I’ve been thinking gochujang might be good but I’m mostly familiar with its flavor from making the sauce for bibimbap with it. I need to engage in deviled egg making lab.  OH and I suppose it goes without saying curry powder is a nice…

So English mustard is actually hot? That’s very interesting. The most common version in the US is a bright yellow type made of little more than ground mustard seed, vinegar, and a bit of paprika, salt, and pepper. 

Agreed. That’s just too weird for me, though the flavor of deviled eggs goes well with potatoes (i.e., egg-mustard potato salad).

The first kimchi I ever had was from a restaurant near where I used to live and I thought it was really good (maybe made in house? one day it was less spicy and I asked the lady who ran the place if she gave me the fresh stuff that wasn’t as strong yet and her response was basically “hahahaha oh look another…

I just checked and there is such a thing as peanut butter flavor syrup (Torani!) I bet you could make a decent cocktail with that, some simple syrup, a small amount of some kind of creamy alcohol like maybe Amarula and I guess vodka for a base.

I definitely think infusing vodka with flavor can really go awry. I tried…

Hm this is a little bit tempting! I’m single so a family meal catered would still be leftovers for days but that’s not necessarily bad. I actually never really thought I liked turkey much until a couple years ago when I cooked a fresh turkey myself for the first time. It was so much more moist and delicious! It does…

More saliently it’s actually bigger than a fat PS3! I looked it up and those were 98mm x 325mm x 275 and weighed 5 kg. So it’s about the same weight as the OG ps3.
