The staunchest opponents of Lucasfilm’s expansion are now being accused of driving away the filmmaker and opening the door to a low-income housing development. That has created an atmosphere that one opponent, who asked not to be identified, saying she feared for her safety, described as “sheer terror” and likened to “Syria.”

otherwise i feel like the paper is getting on board w/ her sense of "what syria is like"
lucas should build this low income housing and name it "Syria"

Anastasia, do you have any idea how much money I make?”I flush, of course not. “Why should I? I don’t need to know the bottom line of your bank account, Christian.”His eyes soften. “I know. That’s one of the things I love about you.”I gaze at him, shocked. Love about me?“Anastasia, I earn roughly one hundred thousand dollars an hour."Fifty Shades Darker, p. 78.
For some reason this reminds me of:

“DON’T you know the mayonnaise trick?”
My friend Dori and I were standing in front of Empire Mayonnaise in Brooklyn, the city’s first and only artisanal mayonnaise shop, ogling its wares: flavors like lime pickle and, of course, bacon, when she asked me that.

The first time I tried it, I achieved the lightest, most ethereal mayonnaise I’d ever made. It tasted deeply of the good olive oil I used, seasoned with lemon and mustard. We ate it with roasted asparagus, dunking the spears two, three and four times into the tasty sauce until we swabbed the bowl clean.

And what a trick — a potential game-changer, the kind that turns homemade mayo from a special-occasion recipe into an everyday endeavor, ending our dependence on subpar, corn-syrup-filled commercial stuff.

I mean, why would you even put corn syrup in mayo

EXACTLY, that's why we have to help these little artisanal shops stand up to big corn syrup whenever we can

"corn syrup" is a metonym for "shitty processed food" i guess
― judas, a homo (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 24 May 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
if they only used natural corn syrup instead of whatever this horrible "calcium disodium EDTA" is then you wouldn't even have to stir it when reopening
the bias against corn syrup in mayonnaise is ruining what could be a great product

don't worry I've started producing my own small batch corn syrup, will be aging it in whiskey barrels and opening a storefront soon

is "supermarket mayo has corn-syrup in it" the foodie version of "bubblicious is made from spider eggs"?

agree with icey on the straight EVOO; doesn't taste right at all. Canola or veg blend for me--maybe I'd put in a little olive oil, but would not make it the primary.

Compare the advent of digital recording to an event in the history of food or agriculture.
Mayonnaise is as it is now known a bastardization of the Sauce Mayonnaise every saucier learns to make his first season as an apprentice. Pre-packaged mayonnaise sold in jars is almost nothing but tasteless vegetable oil and water, emulsified by gum and gelatin. I think this product is analogous in many ways to the CD, and it's introduction has degraded the standard of eating in much the same way digital recording has degraded the standard of music.

“The sauce was invented as a new sensation for jaded palates at court by the duc de Richelieu, at first known as mahonnaise after Mahon, the chief port of Minorca, the scene of the duc’s dubious ‘victory’ in 1756 over the ill-fated Admiral Byng. Basically Louis’s drug dealer and pimp, Richelieu, known for opium recipes to fit all occasions, is also credited with the introduction into France of the cantharides, or Spanish fly.” She gazed pointedly at Kit’s trousers. “What might this aphrodisiac have in common with the mayonnaise? That the beetles must be gathered and killed by exposing them to vinegar fumes suggests an emphasis on living or recently living creatures — the egg yolk perhaps regarded as a conscious entity — cooks will speak of whipping, beating, binding, penetration, submission, surrender. There is an undoubtedly Sadean aspect to the mayonnaise. No getting past that.”
Kit was a little confused by now. “It always struck me as kind of, I don’t know… bland?” “Until you look within. Mustard, for example, mustard and cantharides, n’est-ce pas? Both arousing the blood. Blistering the skin. Mustard is the widely-known key to resurrecting a failed mayonnaise, as is the cantharides to reviving broken desire.”
