Incoming scathing Rude Negro comment in 5...4...3...

While I’m not judging you or your use of sponges (I exclusively use brushes), Microwaves only vibrate water molecules.. so If your sponge isn’t very wet this method doesn’t seem effective.  Microwaves don’t “kill everything” as some people might think and their penetration is often uneven.  Also, disinfecting anything…

Thank you for the explanation. I get it, some recipes shouldn’t be spun.. but as someone who cooks for their career I’m always looking for ways to tweak something out of the ordinary.. discerning palates are not going to go out of their way to buy a regular chocolate chip cookie so one must innovate in order to…

Inception, anyone?

Inception, anyone?

You, sir, are a philistine. Anise pairs well with chocolate and like the headline says, this is MY chocolate chip cookie so I invite you to go soak your head.   I haven’t even tried it yet and I don’t recommend putting all 3 anise flavors in there I was just brainstorming.

I’m a firm believe in simmering your bacon in water before frying it.  Hear me out, it actually works.  By rendering out some of the fat and warming up your bacon you mitigate curling and fattiness while maximizing juiciness and crispiness.  You don’t want to boil your bacon, you just want to put a small amount of…

Christina Tosi, of Momofuku fame, has one of the best chocolate chip recipes of all time. As for me, I like Bigass chunks of 70% or higher dark chocolate. Almond flour mixed with regular All-purpose flour. Crunchy but with a soft center (Tosi suggests baking them at 400+ degrees to achieve this texture).  I’ve heard…

Oof, ya got me. I shall tender my resignation immediately. Can I atleast keep my mint condition unboxed Captain Picard figurine?

Headline should read “World mourns as Lil Xan unable to eat enough Flaming Hot Cheetos to kill himself”

You are basically the fan of Horsin’ Around that Bojack mentions in this episode trying to point out inconsistencies in the set. His whole eulogy, while touching to people who can relate, was basically a comedy set. He told like 30-40 very dark jokes throughout the thing. The joke at the end was just the finale. I…

While I do love this story I, as a much older version of myself, can’t really get down with this movie. I think another series of Bellairs books would have been much better and darker for Roth to tackle: The Curse of the Blue Figurine and The Mummy, The Will and the Crypt.  Johnny and the Professor have a more…

I agree. My best friend is a trained sommelier and a fine-dining server and he would never use vinegar at work.  His regulars come in specifically for wine dinners and The people with wine palates would definitely be able to taste lingering notes.

Ugh, I was so disappointed with the way Diablo 3 came out and the pay to win/marketplace bullshit following release that I swore off the whole game completely. I’m probably better off for it but I’ll always lie awake at night and wonder what could have been... That being said, you never forget your first. D2: LOD will…

Water bender training, I’m pretty sure.

As someone who works as a line cook... we plastic wrap everything. We cook food ahead of time.. it’s the only way to handle large numbers of diners. The expiration date on any cooked, refrigerated food (besides meat) is 5-7 fucking days. These critics have no idea how a kitchen works or proper storage techniques.…

Just because nobody has died yet doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. Anyone that’s isn’t a small child or older person will probably be fine but keeping ANYTHING out for more than 4 hours at temperatures between 40 and 120 degrees will grow bacteria. I hope you don’t put meat in your chili, dude. With enough salt content…

While 4chan did start many Internet trends still alive today; this was not one of them. This is an old symbol that ties into Thelema, Aleister Crowley, Magick, sex occultism and other esoteric lines of thought. It’s sort of a calling card for anyone who is in the “Illuminati”, whatever that is or may be. These…

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist...

After being vehemently anti-pineapple I was recently converted because it was done right. The pineapple has to be small chunks and there has to be canadian bacon and regular bacon on it.

It’s basically just like tacos al pastor which is an actual, established delicious thing. Pork, pineapple, peppers and some sort of…
