Nobody cares about food.

Video to watch right before you go to sleep if you want visions of (cinnamon)sugar plum fairies dancing in your dreams.

(I would think it‘s butter you brush on generously, and not egg wash. Maybe these are cheap l versions.)

The Guardian: Latte-swilling ‘performative males’: why milky drinks are shorthand for liberal

Wow. Modern media is truly afraid for the effeminacy of men, aren't they?

 

[Isabeau]

And this shaming of men showing any kind of what society deems as being feminine isn’t only done in conservative circles. Anything that doesn’t conform to traditional gender ideals is suspect, even in leftist/liberal groups. Man buns, tofu, veganism, and yes, lattes, is viewed as silly.

Of course there may be those who might try to fake it, but you can apply that to just about anything.

Faking a man bun? I'd like evidence of that. Would it be a clip-on?

Right across the street? Seems way too close for those "gee, I'm feeling hungry" moments. The pizza parlor in my neighborhood requires a walk of several blocks, and I even consider that a bit too close.

How soon can I move in?

In my early Navy days, I lived in an apartment that was literally right across the street from a Taco Bell and a Pizza Hut, back in the days when Taco Bell was still dirt-cheap. I am glad I had a high metabolism back then.

2025 Ig Physics Nobel Prize goes to perfect pasta sauce

The researchers found that the key to the perfect sauce is the right amount of starch. Simply stir starch powder (2–3% of the cheese mass) into the water until the water becomes clear and thickens. Now mix this gel with the cheese at a low temperature so that the starch binds with the proteins and prevents lumps. Then season with pepper as usual. Mix the pasta with the sauce in the pan and add a little pasta water if necessary to achieve the right consistency.

(The Ig Nobel prize honors surprising research achievements that first make people laugh, then make them think. It celebrates the unusual and imaginative in order to spark fascination with science, medicine, and technology.)

Here are the 2025 Ig Nobel Prize winners.

Prep time is never 15 minutes.

(I remembered I had beef stew meat and decided to crockpot it this morning before starting my day. Clean up should also be included)

These are good though, without the whipped cream, because they have actual pumpkin puree in them so they taste like the pumpkin. Whipped cream is just awfully yuckoblecht on anything and, frankly, I can do without the spice as well. Just give me the yummy pumpkin.

Enjoy.

This is a most accurate video portrayal of pumpkin-related preparations.
