The entire shift from focusing on the demographic who built them to the 18-55yo male gaze contributes, I think, to why so many more people than previously have problems in the kitchen...esp over the past 4.5 years.

Out here, smoked hocks is a thing (Mennonite, German settlers)...I might have to try it...

Goodness...that looks good. Have to admit (as I cut cable years ago and stopped watching Food Network Canada long before) the name didn't ring a bell, so I looked him up. Ugh.

I've fallen in like with it only after making Salvadoran tamales--the stock needed for that was *so* much better. Unsurprisingly, adding tomatoes, peppers, and coriander leaf makes it so much brighter than the usual.

I remember when my parents bought their behemoth microwavé (in the '80s??) the included instruction manual recommended putting a crumpled ball of tin foil in the chicken's cavity (it's a big micro). It worked. Nothing bad happened except for flavourless, dry chicken cooked in a microwave.

Yup. They're doing"fake it till you make it" just in a different way.

The one I use is "Yummy yummy yummy" when I taste something that brings me a certain type of joy. (I *rarely* if ever use the word)

Such a fantastic family who runs it and they know my spice levels, so they know they can go super hot. And every time I go in, they're working on something new and I get to sample it. Yesterday it was a mystery tea drink. I got two of the three ingredients. I blame this cold for not getting the 3rd
