Don’t know the details. But we see those surprisingly often (notice one a year?) across the bay in Berkeley, where the weather is truly much nicer.

There are very few statements that are true. Most of what we say - if we strive for accuracy- requires hedging and exceptions; it’s not only about rhythm and length of pause. I can’t write what I think

Semicolon and other semi-necessary punctuation (oxford comma?) are the only way I can think; a sentence should be the happy - or not - meeting of several discrete thoughts/phrases

Straight from scratch pan gravy is best, but mix Emeril’s gravy with some store-bought for volume and texture and wow your friends (and even enemies). This gravy is the primary reason people think I’m a good cook

Wet brine is better still. Takes space and a brining bag. But completely worth it imo. The salty pan drippings lead to fantastic gravy. www.food.com/recipe/emeri...

I first made this turkey for Thanksgiving in 2001. It was the best turkey I had ever had, and I have never been tempted to use another recipe since.

You’re gonna hate on some poor scammer just because they like mercury? Would you have bought their ticket if they liked loadsss and winterqueen?

And while we’re on the topic of bad Greek: why is pathology not the study of feelings?
