Institutional mashed potatoes are likely made from a commercial instant potato flake, especially in the (unmentioned) context of how bad our food was that year. (VERY.) So, pour out flakes. Add liquid, olives & pimentos. Mix, cook, serve. (Or possibly mix in the olives & pimentos after...

“You mean…we were saved by Bored Ape?” Suddenly, this makes more sense! https://www.enworld.org/threads/seth-green-gets-scammed-out-of-his-nft-and-it-tanks-his-new-show.688767/

It absolutely is. Think of it as a metaphor for how muddled that trailer comes across to me.

Oh, sweet summer child… My freshman year at college, the main cafeteria (the others were all being renovated) served mashed potatoes mixed with pimentos & olives. Served with white or brown gravy, if you asked. Very unappealing visually. I worked for years to create my own recipe for oven...

This is truly odd looking. I’m reminded of some of the coke-fueled movie pitches I’ve seen/heard of from the 80s & 90s. Hollywood is healing.

I gotta say it’s probably a bad day. My anaconda definitely don’t want none.

There’s a phenomenon I discovered where people open restaurants, build up a clientele, then embezzle the money generated after a particularly lucrative event. I’ve seen it happen at least 3 times here in D/FW: that Irish pub, a Greek place, and a pub. It’s a long grift, and it demands some...

Mod Note: Your rhetoric is right at the edge of acceptability here. You might want to dial it back to a more civil level.

The one in Texas is located at a place in D/FW not all that far from me. It’s also not exactly convenient, either, so even though it’s on my radar, I haven’t gotten there yet. TBH, the burger described sounds good but not special. It could still kick ass, though- I had a Wagyu burger with...

I was reading a paywalled article on CNN- via someone else’s machine*- that was exposing ELSA (the FDA’s own AI) as being as prone to hallucinations and misrepresentation as general purpose LLMs. Some of the employees interviewed basically said that ELSA was not saving them time because they...

Kenneth Washington has died. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/kenneth-washington-dead-hogans-heroes-1236468054/

I never went THAT hard; I was just…anti logo. My parents probably privately rejoiced that their son wasn’t attempting to keep up with the Joneses by asking for Polo, Izod, Nike, Gucci, etc. like his classmates, but instead preferred unmarked store brands, Seiko & Reeboks. That said, part of...

I knew what they were, but TIL there was a formal name for them.

I like Sonic. Not my fave, but good. One knock against eating THERE (as opposed to takeaways) is the way too many Texans go there and eat with the windows up and their cars idling to run the AC. If- like me- you’re going to sit there with the windows down and enjoy your meal in the shade on...

Nope. There’s LOTS of iconic pop culture that I’ve barely or NEVER experienced. GoT is one. The Sopranos and Friends are others. There’s many and varied reasons for why I don’t opt in on these, but I’d be lying by omission if I didn’t cop to having a strong contrarian streak that is often a...

As the person who started the Unusual Sandwiches thread, I will respectfully disagree.

For me, white chocolate is almost completely banned (except in particular cookies) and I’ll probably never eat grape jelly again, both due to overconsumption. I had to rely on PB & grape jelly sandwiches for a LOT of meals my freshman year of college. While PB is still welcome, its companion...
