I give the burger a B because I really thought the burger patty worked well with the melty cheese, lettuce, pickles, and ranch, on a really fresh, soft brioche. Those all made up for the disappointment of the pickle fries. Disappointing for a pickle lover, but satisfying as dinner, if that makes sense.

For advertising, that’s true. You can’t use mashed potatoes to replace ice cream if you’re shooting an ad for an ice cream product for people to buy, for example. But stock photographers are not beholden to those rules because the object of the photo isn’t for sale.
Moodle is taken! That’s the educational platform some of my college professors loaded assignments onto. They all hated saying “moodle.”
I struggled with this, but for the sake of non-Simpsons fans I figure it’s best not to get bogged down by context...
Not rude....brilliant.
Agreed - and the cereal milk ice cream with cornflake crumble is very fun to make at home, too!
Thank you! That correction has been made.
No joke is funny when you hear it 25 times a day
Totally understandable. One thing about the tilt-head model, also, is that you can’t lift it up too close to any protruding kitchen cabinets or it’ll run into them.
I bought the KitchenAid custom dust cover for $24, which is nice because it’s washable when I spill flour on it—and I’m sure you could find all sorts of substitutes if you want to spend less! The best part of the cover is that it’s a dark color, allowing it to fade into the background when not in use.
I agree with you! I definitely don’t think people “need” to buy a mixer, and I didn’t intend to imply that they must, especially if they don’t tend to make the meals a mixer is best suited for. It’s more about looking into why a mixer continues to cost so much, even though on its face it’s a rather straightforward… Read more
You don’t need one, but if you have one, you can go ahead and cook salmon in it!
I will say that the paper towels kept the smell from emanating that much. It really wasn’t as odorous as I was expecting. But on the point of how fish in the microwave is a sin, I must say—NOTHING smells good as a lingering scent in the microwave. Remnants of baked ziti, the ghost of chicken noodle soup....it’s all… Read more
Yep, had the mild taste of salmon. No seasoning, since I was following King’s instructions to the letter. But yes, salmon doesn’t need much to be satisfying.
They satisfy different cravings, I think!
Yes! That would certainly explain the inconsistent fonts and photocopier fuzziness of those pages, ha.
We chronicle the adventures of trying out both versions—but yes, sweet potato works better! https://thetakeout.com/vegan-cake-frosting-recipe-made-from-sweet-potatoes-1848214287
Definitely! Another one shared identically between cookbooks are the “helpful hints” pages, which include things like “A good quick frosting is made by boiling a small potato, mashing it and adding powdered sugar and vanilla.”
The two types of chips definitely don’t melt in exactly the same way. But if you go slow using a double boiler then it should all come together!
Fixed!
