Out of the Express Line if you have more than 10 items, please!

I really hate it when a CSM suggests which line I use. It has never, ever been helpful. Once they suggested a lane which was closed. And in fact the only open lanes were the one I was trying to use, and the u-scan. Thanks for the help!

BUTTER OVERLOAD

Poach meats and fruits in butter.

Make other butters out of it, like parsley butter, garlic butter, and so on.

Brown a bunch of it and keep that in the fridge to add to things like carrots, grits, desserts, and so on.

Make biscuits. Butter on the inside, and more butter on them when you eat them.

From Behind the Bar: On Running Two Bars

A doctor is not a "great brick-and-mortar establishment."

I think you know what he meant.

And I hardly think that the doctors of the Good Old Days of our imagination are like the ones we would visit now. I paid $50 for a consultation where the doctor told me the date that I would have my operation, and that was it. I didn't even get a lollipop.

Foodisphere Erupts Over Paula Deen Diabetes Announcement

@strum40

I'm not sure if I want to laugh, or what. I feel some appreciation for what you've done, but I just don't know how to express it. I just sit here sort of reviewing your comment in silence.

The Vegan Experience, Day 5: Say No To Faux

You'll eat McDonald's meats but not vegetarian-friendly fake burgers? (I mean in general, not for this)

I've probably had about three McDonald's burgers in the past ten years, but I remember the last one I ate, I took the meat off and tried a bite of just that, and it tasted like nothing.

Get to Know Us: Yvonne Ruperti, Chocoholic Columnist

I got to the part where it's revealed Ruperti is married and then I got sad and quit reading.

Eyewitness Booze Investigation: Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow and Whipped Cream Vodkas

Since I manage to burn through 900 words a week on the way to saying "This rum was kinda gross but also kinda OK for the price..."

This was my favorite bit. When I try to explain Will's stuff on SE to people I know, it's basically summarized like that.

Chocoholic: Chocolate Avocado Milkshake

Oh my goodness. I was making some chocolate pudding last night, and glancing every now and then at the avocado on my counter. I happen to be eating it right now, but it nearly ended up with the chocolate.

Banana-avocado shakes are a little more obvious, but they were so successful that I am a full believer in avocado shakes now. This is definitely happening in my near future.

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Hiram Walker Butterscotch Schnapps and Original Cinn
