What neat food eating tricks have you discovered?
  • Hmm, onions used to bother me a lot but I haven't really thought about it in years. Apparently using a sharp knife makes a difference. At some point I got a nice knife set that I have been keeping sharp, and my onion issue disappeared but I didn't realize until you reminded me.

  • The number of bicyclists we lose in collisions with cars, just in Somerville and Cambridge, is tragic and terrifying.
  • I live in Boston. I fully agree with you though in this situation the guy wasn't in the bike lane, he was on the sidewalk.

    The biker was on the sidewalk, not on the road, when he got hit, and went flying over the hood of the car.

    I don't know how anyone would be expected to play defense against that situation.

  • Do you think your partner looks better with makeup?
  • I honestly can't remember how she looks with makeup on. She has worn it maybe a dozen times in the decade plus that I've known her.

    She looks fine without it. She seems happy without it. I don't really care either way.

  • When is the last time you changed your mind about something big?
  • For the most part, you are right, and I'll acknowledge that how I worded that it sounded more complain-y than I really meant to. If anything I was trying to say that I thought it seems silly that things like that exist, and not that I have a big problem with it.

    That said, I don't buy those products, but they still work their way into my life. If you have a vegan in your circle of friends or go out with one you'll eventually find yourself at a vegan pizza place, or being offered vegan "bacon" with breakfast.

  • When is the last time you changed your mind about something big?
  • I don't have a problem with veganism. I love eating vegetables, and enjoy plenty of meals without any animal products. What I could do without is the vegan products that imitate animal products. I am so much happier with a vegetable "burger" that embraces the taste of vegetables instead of one that tries to mimic the taste, texture and appearance of beef.

  • so, we're doing sushi, eh?

    I was never big on photographing my food but I found this one particularly pretty. It was over a decade ago, and I don't remember what restaurant it was. Somewhere in NYC.

    [Question] - What are things you like to cook that are better the second day?

    I find most foods are best as soon as they are made, but some things seem to get better when the flavors have more time to meld. The only two I can think of right now are chili and hummus. What other dishes am I forgetting, or haven't tried that you think get better with a little time?

    What is this connector called?

    I want to replace one half of this with longer wire, but I am not confident about the name of the connector used.
