And then, occasionally, years later you get something (Watchmen) that makes the purist in you happy and even okay with the thing that really, really, really pissed you off at the time.

He’s like Tom Waits. Until he does/did it, you kind of wonder “why hasn’t anyone asked you to play Satan yet?” (Viggo Mortensen is still one of my favourites, though. 😂)

Honestly, you couldn’t do an actual Hellblazer movie, it just wouldn’t work for enough people to have a profit margin a studio would go for and an indie company probably would never have the budget to make it work. What we got was fun, and got the actual characters comics some good attention so I never did see any…

Americans of several certain shades are already used to being left in ER waiting rooms to die, so uh...welcome to the actual America, the rest of you?

Those micro cups were great as an ice cream mix in. I only ever saw them as that, though, I didn’t know there were bags you could buy yourself (probably a good thing, now that I think about it.)

No, gelatin and potato starch (probably konjac.) And yeah, finding a fresh bag is something that would keep them away from the top of a list for me too, but the different fruits they have would more than make up for that, so basically...I don’t know quite where I would place them.

No, I’m afraid I don’t. One of my uncles used to bring them for us when he came down from Michigan.

I remember a candy similar to the one you’re talking about, I think it was Canadian? It wasn’t an American one, I’m fairly certain. Haven’t had one since I was a kid.

Kasugai gummies. Probably the best textured and some of the nicest flavoured gummy candies I’ve had.

Pat in the pan oil pastry. Because my kitchen is the size of a postage stamp and fuck if I’ve got the room to roll out anything. I don’t think I ever even unpacked my rolling pin.

This actually can be done. Of curse, I have a great toaster oven with a little toaster oven broil pan set so...

Or with the hot-dog electrocuter! Let’s electrocute a steak! For science! And we can also waffle one for...more science!

That’s because A1 is for burgers. No good steak should be drowned in over-spiced sludge.

Did I mistakenly confuse them for the patties that the same factory is producing for Burger King?

I know it’ll be a pain in the ass, but could you do mini pies. Mini pie plates (the disposable kind) are typically big enough for one person to have a large serving or two people to have a small serving of pie, and if you can use the same crust for all the pies, the only variations you need to think about are the…

The issue is, it’s not for me, it’s a recipe for my mom that I need (we saw that one, and she rejected it.) I personally think she’s being too precious about it and should just go with the Betty Crocker recipe that uses whole wheat flour (she’s crunchy) and adapt as necessary, but she’s insisting on...well, I don’t…

It’s probably my favorite way to cook a smaller bird. If you can find it, Anne Burrell on an episode of Worst Cooks In America takes her team through doing it step by step (but I’m not sure what season that was.) Martha Stewart did one about five or six years ago on her PBS show too, but I’ve never had any luck…

Maybe they mean that this time, the factory will actually grill the patties before freezing them, vacuum packing them and shipping them around the country. As opposed to just painting the grill stripes on.

Huh. I always wondered why it was called Oil Down, but didn’t have anyone I felt I could ask.

Or, if you don’t like mayonnaise (or don’t like cooking with mayonnaise) soften butter to room temp, mix your seasonings into the butter, and spread that under the skin, then brown some butter (add some wine if you like) and brush a thin layer of that over the skin for extra flavor. Because of the butter under the…
