eh i'm just being fussy over applying personality & agency to foodstuffs, if anything then "lifestyle-affirming" would be most appropriate here

Thinking baout spices, was just reading a critique of CS Lewis's characterization of the Calormenes, and I never realized but he makes a huge point of them smelling like garlic and onions to show their evil foreign-ness, and I guess Lewis was infamous for only approving of extremely bland English home-cooking!! The inherent evillity of the Oriental, the Muslim, the foreigner who eats funny. "I had to add lots of spices" guy can STFU for so many reasons.

I'm more disturbed at the idea of someone keeping stock in their fridge for weeks and diligently re-boiling it every three days TBH. Maybe doing this affirms something deep inside.

Indie music has a long and storied history in Southern California, dating back to the punk scene that flourished in Orange County in the late 1970s...

can i just say that--at least before the ridiculous $35 chicken piece--I really like the Cooking with Dexter series! It's been interesting, especially compared to what passes for food writing in the NYT magazine these days.

we have made the fish tacos at least 6 or 7 times since the recipe came out

I still haven't made them! Mostly because my wife is breastfeeding and convinced she can't have cabbage.

well if we're going to talk about it, this was really the LOLiest bit imo:
Michael Shuman, the bassist for Queens of the Stone Age who went to Campbell Hall, is the son of Ira Shuman, a producer of “Night at the Museum” and the new “Pink Panther” films. The band is signed to Interscope Records and performs its psychedelic-tinged hard rock around the world.
I hope that description makes it into a QOTSA press release at some point.
ps Josh Homme's rant on Interscope from 2007 always bears repeating: http://www.antiquiet.com/interviews/2007/12/antiquiet-interviews-josh-homme-of-queens-of-the-stone-age/

yeah I had looked at the fish taco recipe and gone "meh"; Mr. Que, however, cooked up a batch and goddamn are they delicious. The sauce is really, really, really good.
Anyhow I came onto this thread hoping there would be more MeMe stuff.
More batshit crazy woman, please!!!

the article doesn't even go into why rich new yorkers go in for light colored carpet & upholstery -- pretty sure it's BECAUSE they are so expensive to maintain & keep clean, denoting status. the article presents some strange normative idea rich ppl prefering white because, what, they have more refined taste?

foyers with benches is a good thing for anybody. I hate walking into my apartment and standing in the door way struggling to take off my shoes, my jacket, my bag, put down my umbrella, all without walking 2 more steps into the apartment where I'd inevitably get everything wet.
