Don’t figs require a wasp to develop?  Can that be done in the home without also creating a wasp infestation?

The recent trend is to do your trick-or-treating before dark--especially for parents of younger kids.  As such, parent-teacher conferences could interfere at least with “getting ready” time, if not the actual trick-or-treating itself.

FWIW, at the time this story broke, there wasn’t (and still isn’t) an “egg-yolk omelette” on Balthazar’s menu. Just a regular “omelette” and an “egg-white omelette.”

That’s weird. Ever since they started offering the option of making appointments in advance, I’ve been in-and-out in minutes every time.

This isn’t about Subway

Regarding “F is for Fake” - Welles’ radio broadcast of “War of the Worlds” didn’t create a panic; newspapers fabricated stories about a panic that never happened (most likely in a bid to discredit radio... “people will believe anything they hear”).

When it comes to taste, there’s no such thing as objectively good or objectively bad. All taste is subjective. That’s just how it is, full stop.

Taco Bell is usually good, and sometimes great; you’re spouting nonsense.

Recipes are hacks when they get you results by doing something novel and likely easier than the traditional method.

I’d be willing to bet that “empty ice cube tray” means a vintage metal ice cube tray with the metal insert (that creates the cubes) removed.

I don’t know how long it would last, but 2 weeks feels too long to my gut.  Former restaurant employee here, and nothing got a date longer than 3 days from opening or preparation.

Can’t wait until they release the child-free version of this sim, eh?

That’s only true if you don’t eat them regularly.  When you expose your digestive system to lentils (really, any beans) regularly, your body adapts and produces more of the enzymes that break them down better.

The kind who recognizes that floss is cheap, and it’s affordable to buy two flosses as the same time: minty waxed floss for the teeth and plain floss for the kitchen.

I live in Michigan; anybody can set up an appointment.  During the peak of the pandemic, it was appointment-only; walk-ins are now welcome (but why would you want to do that to yourself).

Just here to defend the app/drinks folks, and even the “just a coffee for me, thanks” people.

Because of tipping culture. Eliminate tipping (in favor of a living wage) and we no longer have to police whether your check was large enough to be fair to your poor, poor server.

I know, right? It’s almost as bad as people that don’t know that punctuation goes inside the quotation marks. Like, were these people taught anything growing up? Did they even go to school?

Current patron here; feel free to go ahead and drink coffee as long as you like after you’re done eating. No contract exists between you and the restaurant; you have no obligation to free up your table before your evening’s entertainment is complete.

Yes. This would be a problem if the scent of vinegar lingered in any way. It doesn’t.
