How did it take you so long? I figured that out when I was 5. My mom tells the tale of me and my brother singing a little song we concocted that went ...

Sacrilege. That photo might be worse than the teeth thing, whatever that was.

Whoops. We often refer to New Jersey as Jersey here, particularly here in NYC. And they of course grow new potatoes in New Jersey.

Reading comprehension tends to go out the window when some types of atheists are triggered.

Colby is indeed a bullshit cheese but I’m pretty sure it’s real. That list just lists a bunch of random cheeses that aren’t similar to Velveta.

Did you move across the pond?? Your slaw sounds like overkill, to be @"frank".

@"T Clark" emoji. :roll:

I never said as much. I've been known to enjoy a buche taco. I'll leave the etymology to you.

Dear satan no.

I just learned what a tclemoji is.

Not sure about your etymology, but all I know is that a brine is a simple salt water solution that meat is submerged in for a period of time, vs a mar...

*Thumbs up pic*

Yesterday was my first foray into brining meat, pork chops in this instance. The brine was water, soy sauce, mirin and orange slices. The recipe calle...

If anything I think the concept is actually kind of pretentious. A military vs. an artistic movement is pretty on the nose. As long as other novels ha...

Sounds sneeze-inducing, to say nothing of choking. If only all hardship could recede under the onslaught of good food.

Looks delish.

Wot's this eh?

What? Roasted bell peppers, pasta sauce, onions and Chinese food? None of that is intensely sweet when compared to a dessert, or slathering something ...

Well yes, the examples you give have very subtle sweetness to them. Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines for it's complexity; it literally has eve...

Fair enough. I just don't have much of a sweet tooth.

The jam is too sweet, at least in comparison to the preserves. My family are complete snobs about this. They complain when certain brands are out of s...

Left side actually. It's a rare condition.

Hmmm, pickles are an essential burger condiment for me. I prefer raw onion on a burger as well, but the caramelized ones just work on this burger. Nah...

I splurged on one of my favorite cheeseburgers in the city today (although I'm no authority on them by any means). It's simply topped with American ch...

As I'm about half Finnish, I've been eating Lingonberry preserves my entire life. I'm a lingonberry hipster. My family puts it on Kropsua, which is li...

I forgot to mention those dudes on that channel are equal parts funny and annoying. But I am subscribed and do watch their food content. As millennial...

Eh wot? Wot's a billabong? Mate? Tally-ho?

Wouldn't want to ruffle any feathers.

On the contrary, it’s the oasis of the meal.

Trust me, sliced sauce is where it's at.

Well, in the US there are two. Your typical preserve-style goop with actual berries in it. Then there's the canned kind, which blorps out of the can i...

Yes. I’m generally against mixing sweet and savory in a savory context. Whether I approve of your decision will be based on exactly what type of cranb...

Mediterranean chickens tend to be very animated and emotional, with naturally tan feathers. Alabama chickens are know for being more passive aggressiv...

You’re a true midwesterner. My family is the same.

A single egg? Do you need me to paypal you some dough?

It's very possible to have fruitful discussions on here; I've had many over the years. This is not one. Take care.

I did all of those things. My point stands. We seem to have lost the plot and are arguing about things that don't matter. This is partly why I don't g...

This week's dinner meal prep was a big win: Mediterranean chicken breasts with dill yogurt sauce. The grocery store had no dill (?!) so I went with ta...

No. The point here is to learn to not make assumptions when people make statements about their beliefs. This system of belief is not beholden to ratio...

The original NYPL is a beautiful building, but I was surprised to find the Detroit library to be even more beautiful. Philly has a good one too. The l...

I don't feel any need to broadcast my beliefs, here or elsewhere. If I simply state that I'm no longer religious, the onus is not on me to elaborate o...

Nice.

My dad has an entire room, a library I guess, in the basement of my parents house. For context they're very squarely middle class, so this is not some...

By the way, are those yours?

What a beautiful photo. I'd post a photo of my own shelf it I wasn't poor, and if the shelf wasn't horrendously cluttered.

Your assumption that @"Hanover" was a Christian because he's a theist is similar to the assumption about me you made in the shoutbox that I'm no longe...

I’m not sure what you mean by appeasement, but it does involve developing a deeper understanding of why people practice and message the way they do.

Just know that it’s possible to have been raised within a religion, to have left it completely, and to not have hatred towards religion. There is a mo...

Huh?
