Elon Musk objects to cancel culture that says that calling him retarded is offensive.

Everyone seems to assume that systems preventing drunk driving would be these blow-in systems but I’m not sure that’s true, at least not in the future. There are other technologies that exist that are less intrusive and probably others that could be developed. If there were a camera that could accurately read alcohol…

My sister feels the same way. I just don’t get it. I could eat a fresh tomato like an apple and be truly happy, if only for a minute.

Raw tomato is gross? I mean, you’re not alone, but you’re definitely wrong.

It’s an interesting argument, I’ll give you that, but ultimately I think we need fewer traffic stops, not more.

If you turned off that podcast after hearing that he hates spaghetti, you missed out. That was a very entertaining and enlightening series.

Airplane coffee makes airplane coffee taste like shit.

It’ll all become clear when you put on your magic underpants.

True, mostly, but I’ve gotten a few good food ideas from things that have trended on TikTok. These are not things invented by TikTok-ers, just things that have been made popular because the platform so easily allows things to go viral. TikTok quesadilla trick (and similar trick with nori to make a quick and easy hand…

Curious. I read a few years ago that overmixing pancake batter leads to pancakes that don’t rise, and I’ve found that to be true in my own experiments. Does your order of adding ingredients result in fluffy pancakes or flat?

I wonder about that. I grew up on frozen as well, back in the 70's and 80's, and it was fine. But the food industry has advanced dramatically since then and I would imagine the quality of frozen concentrate may have benefitted from those changes. They say the best tomatoes that you can get, other than the ones you…

I don’t know.. even if it wasn’t intentional, I think there’s an argument to be made that Buffalo wings served with ranch are actually not authentic, and therefore cannot be called Buffalo wings. Like the guy who decried calling chicken tenders “boneless wings.” I will die on this hill.

My sister lived in Buffalo for awhile. And yes, the proper way to eat anything Buffalo style is with blue cheese dip. But are you suggesting that when anything with a Buffalo wing sauce is served with ranch instead, that it be deprived of it’s capital-B Buffalo and be relegated to lower-case buffalo? Harsh, but maybe…

Buffalo buffalo burger sounds pretty good.

Why does it have to be one sauce? Why not have ranch on the top, Buffalo on the bottom?

To each their own, I suppose, but I think cavatappi is the best for noodles in a cheese sauce.

I’m not going to argue about the sauce recipe, but I will say that if you’re making sauce from scratch, why ruin it with boxed shells or worse those tiny little macaroni noodles? Use something that has good surface area and forkability like cavatappi. Otherwise you’re just eating mush with a spoon.

The worst indignity is the cracker crust.

I’m not sure I understand... are you anti-pizza, or just against this style of crust? How do you feel about focaccia? What about focaccia with tomatoes on top?

I actually have put strawberries on a pizza, with balsamic vinegar. It was actually surprisingly good.
