If you say it correctly, New Yorkers won't be able to guess that you're from Iowa. Also, memorize the phrase saltpepperketchup.

Take a trip with me to NYC and we'll visit the corner store to get a comforting breakfast sandwich all wrapped up for us. Then we'll make a great version to call our own at home.

This. But also, I can't stand the phrase, "I wrote a new blog."
No you didn't, you wrote a post on your blog! The blog holds the posts. Geez Louise that frustrates me more than it should...

I wish people would stop using the term "Substack" as a medium instead of blog/newsletter. It's hugely detrimental, often excluding writers who chose other platforms. If I referred to Pellicle as my "Squarespace" that would just be fucking weird.

If it's too cold outside to go to work and all the stores are closed, that's the perfect time to bake some bread. I have a bunch of recipes here. Let me know if you have specific ingredient substitution questions. boundedbybuns.com/recipes/list...

I tried another viral social media recipe that usually uses ground beef or lamb, with the goal of converting it to use chicken. Then I tucked that crispy chicken meat inside of soft warm pita with tomato, red onion and a creamy yogurt based tzatziki sauce for a fantastic gyro-style experience.

This is a bad take, but I respect the conviction.
1. Mayo is the single most disgusting concoction ever devised. It serves no purpose. Sorry your food is dry, make it better next time. Even a sandwich cut with a knife that had once had mayo on it is instantly ruined

I painted one of the original Kronos Gyros models. Kronos Foods is one of the largest manufacturers of gyros in the world, and it's located in Glendale Heights, IL. These posters were very commonly seen all over the Chicago area (and other parts of the world) in hot dog stands and Greek restaurants.

No one that watches News Nation has ever willingly eaten a corn tortilla that wasn't a fried hard shell from Taco Bell or a grocery store box kit.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."
