Geek of food and tech. Plus sundry other things.
💯 Not verbally abusing customers and coworkers is a pretty low bar.

Firing or disciplining abusive people is pro-worker. Everyone deserves a safe work environment.

What is it with journalists who can’t tell the difference between building bridges and selling bridges?

I was trying to be supportive, but I clearly did a shit job. I apologize for that.

I sincerely hope that you find a good solution. I know it can be incredibly difficult.

With that I’ll fuck right off, you clearly don’t want to hear more from me.

That sucks.

Different transdermals aren’t really equivalent. I have family members who gave up using them because the varying adhesives or patch materials were causing bad reactions.

Refills were like Russian roulette. A good drug could be replaced by a nightmare without warning.

Soon they’ll figure out how to read the first as “Congress shall make … law respecting an establishment of religion…”

This and the Epstein Island photos are perfect examples of how no matter how rich you get, you can’t buy good taste.

Just an absolute lack of discernment.

Once you realize how easy it is to make tortillas, this isn’t an emergency. Flour, fat, salt, baking powder.

Or it that won’t work for you, reach for a bowl and cut the tortilla into strips and fry it for a bit (or not).

I am the Nexus One, I want more tacos buey, I’m not done.

The best way to do tamales is to have a tamal making party. Invite friends over and use a giant tamalera.

Drink, roll tamales, steam tamales, eat tamales, send everyone home with tamales for the freezer.

That’s very generous.

I rank them as being only somewhat better than the flavored topical anesthetic gel they use at the dentist before giving you a shot of novocain.

Looks amazing.

If I had to keep only one of the three it would be the food processor.

But the OP blender can do things that nothing else can duplicate.

It can make amazing gravy thickened with dried mushrooms or roasted veggies instead of roux.

Tahini and hummus both come out smoother than any other method.

The blender and the food processor both make mayo pretty well.

But you can’t beat the convenience of a stick blender for making mayo.

Dump all the stuff in the jar and pull the blade up slowly and done.

No slow drizzling of oil or nothin’.

Stick blenders are unmatched for soup and mayo.
