I don’t mean to diminish these people at all!! Some of my very best friends are eaters of the weird, gross, “why is it sour though?”, cucumber offal.
They love to talk about that whole “cilantro tastes like soap” gene. But call me when they figure out the splicing variant that renders some unbothered by a mouthful of cucumber seeds and associated viscera.
Taking a short personal moment away from my identity as a kohlrabi hate account to ponder the existence of the second dumbest CSA prestige vegetable (the lemon cucumber).
There is not a single use case for kohlrabi that is not more enjoyable when served by another vegetable. Why this cultivar was ever perpetuated when it seemingly cropped up as a prank vegetable that minimizes every desirable brassica quality is beyond me.

Going to pick up my homesteading ass SIL and forgot to bring her the kohlrabi from our fridge. The best thing to do with kohlrabi is gift it to a vegetable nerd. They won’t want it either but they will have to pretend they do.
My hot take is that no one actually likes kohlrabi and it is only cultivated as a prestige vegetable so people can tactfully signal to others that they have patronized a farmer’s market or CSA.
Oh yeah? Well I recently saw him do an even tinier jazz gig on the plastic bongos on a playground where we happened upon him and his family and almost misplaced our toddler because we were trying to confirm from a respectable distance it was really him (yes this is a true story)
Just saw Flea do a jazz gig in a tiny venue in Paris and it was MAGICAL
Imagine a year without five consecutive hours of sleep and it’s the same year everyone starts talking about sleepmaxxing
It simply can’t be legal for an eleven month old to still be feeding every two hours over night someone come put my baby in baby jail can you factory reset a baby I don’t know I just want to sleep so bad ok send tweet
Feeling more and more these days that I am not online enough to meaningfully connect with online people and too online to engage substantively with earth people. Result is just me asking my husband “do you know what/who [this] is?” twelve times a week.
"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking
My mom famously got a math degree because her sixth grade math teacher told her girls didn’t really need to know math.
Funny story: my career in drones exists because I have a arithmetic learning disability, tested awfully in math and couldn’t study STEM in college, and became so angered by how normal it was to look down upon non-tech people in the 2010s that I decided to master a hard tech field out of pure spite.
Tell your friends not to seek out this knowledge. The heaping praise from the “I thought I hated Turkey” crowd is all some of us have to carry us through to new years.
skill issue and for God’s sake I really do want to offer free “how to make a good turkey” tutoring to people in the internet age it is simply not hard to find the not-at-all-hidden knowledge about how to make a turkey taste good though

/3 But a huge plurality, at least, of the modern GOP is of the opinion that noticing bigoted trash is more un-American and destructive than BEING bigoted trash: that dehumanizing fellow Americans based on immutable characteristics is morally superior to criticizing anyone for doing that.
Ok returning to this...I cannot stress how much pastry is not a strength of mine but I do wonder if this is a case where a blind bake + stove top filling might be a route around oven time. How to best handle the top crust is a question here. Yes I know you can make pies the day before.
...getting a filling to the requisite 200˚F takes FOREVER and is not ideal on a day with such extreme oven traffic so I think I made it to about 195 which wasn't enough to slay the raw flour taste. This all kind of killed my motivation for the original idea which I do think would have ruled.
We are not Mac & Cheese for Thanksgiving people but this popped up shortly after we discussed throwing it in the mix this year for a change of pace. The feta/sage/sweet potato combo is calling to me.
It’s Canadian Thanksgiving and although I know the Sweet Potato Macaroni Cheese that’s #RecipeOfTheDay doesn’t exactly fit the bill, it’s such a favourite, and I thought it could just possibly find a place at the table! www.nigella.com/recipes/swee...
Tried to get my husband a milkshake on my way home last night. Burger place wouldn’t take my online order because it was under $8. I called and an AI picked up the phone. I asked to order a milkshake. It told me pickup orders could only made online and texted me the link. I hate it here.
Wife did a gravel order from Lowe’s for me to pick up. I drive to the pick up dock. Guy with a radio comes out. I show him the order receipt. He radios inside. They tell him to tell me to tell my wife to download the app so that she can check in on it to let them know I’m here to pick up the order.
