I’m sure there are, especially if they’re particularly bad cooks, but insist on bringing food anyway. I mean, most stuff, you could take or leave. But some dishes are contagiously un-appetizing, and might ruin appetites. Bad/unusual smells would top that list. Beyond that, some dishes can be...

That’s another musician who was older than I thought.

We typically do a glazed ham as the main Christmas protein. Most of the sides options are similar to what we do for Thanksgiving, except we exclude dressing. OTOH, there’s some different potato dishes I trot out. I’ve never cooked one, but one of my cousins almost always brings 1-2 geese or...

I’m not sure the Chinese restaurants around D/FW are even OPEN on Christmas.

It’s such a thing that it was lampooned in A Christmas Story. (Yes, technically that’s a racist stereotype. But you’ll note the owner is trying to help his employees get it right. And a lot of Asians view it less as racist and more of a snapshot from an earlier time & place.) To be clear...

No one is EVER banned. (Some have been asked to bring ice, though.) I’m a firm believer that everyone has a dish they can cook well. It’s just that some haven’t quite figured out which one it is, yet. And a lot of people give up on that hunt. At past gatherings, we’ve had 2+ people bringing...

Sometimes, it’s NOT what you say, but the way that you say it.

I’m an American, and my family observes Thanksgiving. For context: We don’t have any illusions about European colonialism- our ancestors include Africans, Choctaw, Taino, Peruvians and others. But- like Christmas- we like to use the holiday to see old friends and bond with family over food...

Throughout my life, 99% of my orders from Jack in the Box have been Breakfast Jacks. I love those; can’t stand their burgers.

I order medium, and sometimes still cook mine at home medium rare. If I’m pre-cooking them intentionally for storage and reheating, I also go medium rare.

I read that with Bobby Hill’s voice.

Not mutually exclusive, you know.

This poster on Imgur has a whole bunch of videos about her jumping spiders. Perhaps you could offer it some cheese…errr…grubs to form a peace treaty:

There’s burger joints & restaurants (usually diners & steakhouses) in the USA that serve burgers with alternative patties. Variants besides beef I’ve had: Bison (buffalo) Boar Ostrich Chicken Turkey Pork Beef/pork blend Venison Mushroom cap Mushroom/beef blend Camel Black Bean/Tofu* beef...

Texas Toast also counts, at least to some.

None of them. If a show starts on one of those channels or gets removed from broadcast to streaming, it’s nonexistent to me. And the only thing added to any of the house’s smart TVs were added by other people so they could watch their stuff while guesting with us.

It’s been a while since I read that one.

There’s a video out there where a raccoon trundles out from under a car, beelines for a human, touches his foot, then scoots away.

That one escaped me, and I’m definitely an Adam’s fan.

That was it! And oddly, that toggle was NOT visible on the main bar- it was under one of the pulldown menus.
