It would have been so great if they had Laura Linney voice Abigail Adams.

No. I pureed fresh blueberries and used that in place of water.

ChatGPT is going to get wind of this and some undergrad somewhere will have this statistic in their 19th century transportation history paper.

My rice cooker sings a song when I start it and when the rice is done. Should it have a 401k?

We had the technology to google “what temp is done for turkey” before we had AI.

The idea that we need AI to tell us how to cook a turkey because we don’t want to ask other humans ignores the many millenia of people finding ways to give each other answers without asking someone they know.

Years ago the NYT had a fantastic recipe for cornbread dressing made with cornbread muffins. It was so good. I don't know what happened to it but link I had for years doesn't work anymore and I can't find it on the website again. Anyway, dressing is good, stuffing is an abomination.

I just googled it on my computer, and the answer is:
"Clearjel is not thermoreversible in the way that it can be heated, cooled, and reheated indefinitely without losing its thickening power."
This is closer to the actual answer. Though it's not about thickening power, it's about melting.

I just heard “Fort Duquesne” spoken for the first time ever and that is NOT how I was reading it in my head all these years!

Always learning!
