I stopped studying the cello. I started studying Arabic. I grew up on the other side of the middle of nowhere and am an inveterate urban dweller now. I like mathematics, fountain pens, and TTRPGs. https://sidewalks.meangrape.com

My 17yo daughter just asked me “is AD the same as CE?” The yiddishkeit is strong in this one

Yeah, the timing could have been better on that

How can I be sick with a sore throat and diarrhea? It should be against the law; one end or the other, pathogens.

I want pasta but don’t want to make pasta. I’m not in the mood for a protein shake even though I’m behind on today’s protein intake. I don’t want anything sweet. I should eat another 300-400 calories.

I should have gotten my late night calories from the tuna I made. Instead it was Entenmann’s donuts. Tuna tomorrow!

Just take your cinnamon and raisin bagels and go home

The time Hashem blessed us with their creation is not relevant here. Only your rejection of the ur-bagel. The only bagels worth eating are everything bagels and those bagels with toppings that are a subset of toppings you can make from an everything bagels.

I have discovered a local pie store a mile away from my house. However they close at 5pm on weekdays and 3pm on weekends.

I visited a friend this weekend. He lives in the lower East side. One night I wanted pie. What did I find? A pie store. Not a bakery that has pies but a pie store. A ten minute walk away. And not only is it open at 730pm, it is open until 11pm. Fresh pies until 11. I might have to move.

I’ve noticed it, too

99% of my Dunkin experience is with the one a few hundred feet from my house & all I can say is they’re never burnt.

The little hash browns are pretty good. The donuts are blah. The sandwiches are ok. Cold coffee drinks are better than Starbucks; hot ones, worse

Woke up with a sore throat so I took my temperature—96.2F/35.7C. Definitely not a fever.

I need to buy whole fish so I can get fish frames so I can make fumet to use this assyrtiko that’s sitting in my fridge. A type of culinary yak shaving

It is so hard to work with!

His starter has a magical rise. I’ve had it triple in 8 hours.

I can find my recipes for regular challah, 10-strand challah, miche (the new version and the old version), and four versions of brioche. I cannot find my panettone recipe.

You remind me I need to clean my refrigerator

Jay. @meangrape.com · 1d

I’m in the on-and-off-midst of making a recipe. I haven’t been thrilled with the ones I’ve tried from the internet. I’m ready to give it a trial run, but I need to get some sourdough starter from my starter guy.

Jay. @meangrape.com · 1d

I’m so sorry for all of this happening to you. I can’t do anything but wish I could. I hope you and things get better soon.

Jay. @meangrape.com · 1d

I have discovered there is a pie store within 2 miles of my house. They close at 5pm except for the weekends when it is 3pm. HOWEVER! There is a 24 hour bakery in the North End that sells pies. I’d have to uber there if I wanted a 3am pie though.
