To Canvas Bag or Not to Canvas Bag

isn't it possible that some of you that are saying you have xx many bags from the trip to the grocery store, are getting the heavier items double bagged, which would be eliminated by having a canvas bag?

Fuchsia Dunlop's General Tso's Chicken

i made fuchsia dunlop's general tso's chicken a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. i'm not a fan of the 'sweet' chinese dishes, and this one definitely did not fall into that category. the chicken was nicely crisp from the cornstarch, and the sauce was sticky and had decent heat.

Fast-Food Chains Move Toward Self-Service

when i lived in nj years ago, the wawa by my work had these machines. you would follow the sequence of screens, as if you were confirming an e-ticket for a flight, and a receipt that you ordered printed out for you, and another for the people behind the deli. but sure enough though, even though the exact specifications of my order was right in front of them, the sandwich makers would inevitably get my order wrong. this happened 4 out of 5 times, so i decided to stop going there. the machines may help speed up the ordering process, but i don't think it will help minimize getting the orders incorrect or mixed up.
