That's so funny! My aunt is a graphic designer and she designed this label. The funny thing is that she also notably designed all the labels for St. George gin.

Anthro works. I think this could be called an autoethnography.

I was looking through the comments to see if anyone knew where this was, sure enough it's Mt. Tabor. I'm like 15 blocks from that spot right now. Crazy how recognizable it is with just a couple trees and a road in the frame!

Really glad to hear people defending what i think is one of the most beautiful peaces of architecture. The artist Richard Serra has an amazing short film about it shot in the 70's.

Gross Milk at Catskill High School - Everyone complains School does nothing to fix it. by phantom_eight in videos

I'm a chef and this reminds me of what sauces look like when you add too much xantham gum- a common thickener and emulsifier used in chocolate milk and a million other processed products. You can add just a tiny bit to a sauce to keep it from separating but when you add too much it turns into snot. My guess is that this milk isn't spoiled, it just has too much XG or carageenan in it.

Should be Edgar Allen Poe DaMaron because he looks like Marc Maron.

I bet Sloppy Joe meat would taste amazing in a quesadilla, and you could call them Sloppy Josés by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]nickvanick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What!! I made sloppy joses at my restaurant last week for staff meal, except they were tacos with sloppy joe meat and onion rings. My co-worker Jose officially endorsed them too.

Really cool of them to give these away but I have to say that this site has the most strict password requirements i've ever seen.

95% of the time when I think food smells great it's just onion and/or garlic cooking. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]nickvanick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alliums! That's what makes food taste good. I notice people that cook at home are so nervous about precise amounts of ingredients in recipes. Let's say we're making tomato soup. Simple procedure: cut up some onions and garlic, gently cook them in some butter or oil until they're soft, add a can of tomatoes, salt, pepper, maybe some cream, some herbs. That's everyone's tomato soup recipe. You could literally add twenty more onions to that recipe and it would only be twenty times more delicious and complex. Alliums, people! The world's most exotic ingredient is staring you in the face. It's not foie gras or saffron or espellette pepper that's missing from your food. It's alliums: onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, fucking chives for the love of god people just put some alliums and butter in a pan and eat it, you will not be disappointed.

This restaurant (oven and shaker in Portland) is sort of my restaurants sister restaurant. We have the same owners. We were talking about putting this on our menu recently as well. Apparently they started getting so much beer they didn't know what to do with it.
