Maybe it was an Anglo-Saxon trait but her mom was a 2nd gen Latvian Jew, which makes sense because our people will eat gefiltefish, chopped liver, matzo balls, or anything so long as it's bitter, boiled, and textured like a ball of slime. Even the bagel is us seeing bread & going "oh let's boil it!"

My Midwestern mom boiled them and slopped them on our plates. I took it for some kind of generational trauma, like religion or being a Lions fan, that was important to continue to remember our ancestors couldn't enjoy food.

I went looking for the article I learned this from and found the NPR link but I'm sure I must have gotten it from this XKCD comic originally. I'm such a big fan I once cut my own (far smaller) book signing event short to go to Munroe's.

From Culinary Dud To Stud: How Dutch Plant Breeders Built Our Brussels Sprouts Boom Brussels sprouts used to be scorned. Now they're trendy. And one reason for their renaissance sits tucked away in a basement storage room in the Netherlands.

Brussels sprouts were yummy until a yield-expanding variant took over the market and made them bitter and gross for a few generations, made worse by a cultural practice of boiling them. Sweeter sprouts and better ways of cooking them only came back recently.

This the Rainbow Realignment, from the time my daughter wanted her own Road to Glory dynasty and spent the afternoon moving teams around aesthetically. Tough division with Tennessee, Texas, Syracuse, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Illinois and Miami, plus Bowling Green and various UTs.

I saw this play when watching Bama before the Whateverquest Bowl (from the start of the 4Q of last year's Iron Bowl), forgot to remark on it, and noticed it again doing Justice Haynes. Sets up a tunnel screen then goes outside. Diabolical. Plz steal for Semaj.

THE BOOKS HAVE ARRIVED.

Going to hold to my promise not to lock addresses until 9PM tonight, but if you or someone you know is on the Wall of Shame it's time to get that taken care of. I spent all afternoon contacting the stragglers individually.

Thank you, Royal Oak, for unshittifying this. I got nailed with a bs ticket at the last Sklars Show, gave up after having a bitch of a time fighting it, and have been consciously avoiding Royal Oak for anything since.

I'm certain there's an all-Big Ten receiver in there you just gotta get to the bottom.

Okay, yes, agree to all of it, but I still hate Daulerio.

First read of the EO is it uses words the NCAA wanted but is so vague and sloppy the agencies might be better off ignoring it.

The Citrus Bowl better known for the Clowney hit.

Adidas cost M a game against MSU by springing bees unis after warmups. Instead of changing the gameplan to deal w/ a trashnado they were all trying to squeeze into the small fit.

We literally celebrated in the streets when M switched back to Nike.

My apologies to my hockey comrades for any role I may have played in turning Michigan red.

Also, and I will die on this hill, Fahrenheit is better than Celsius. When I talk about temperature I usually want to know whether I can go outside (<0 or >100: do not) and have a broad range of options in the middle to decide what I should wear. I have never wondered what state water is in.

Relevant perhaps to whether Title IX is still necessary today, Memphis softball went 6-44, and 1-26 in the AAC last year, and 8-43 (2-16) the year before, while the school had those athletes taking extra classes to free up time for men's basketball.

They asked us if there were any particular athletes we would want to interview and I responded Max Bredeson please.

A photo of Tucker the black and tan coonhound, with the text: "ABTCR would like to help Tucker, a 10 year old boy, and need a foster home. His owner passed away this week and Tucker was taken in by a neighbor. He's in good health and well-mannered, has always been a housepet. Currently located northwest of Detroit, MI."

First up: Michigan friends, if any of y'all can step in here, Tucker could use a couch to snooze on. Senior hounds are generally very chill and just want to hang out with their people.

Do you have a dogless couch? Let's fix that, shall we?

Percent of people who backed our Kickstarter who got their surveys in who...

Used an AppleID: 45% (22/49)
Everyone else: 90% (1965/2178)

Thinking we need to start telling people upfront I can't offer support to anyone who uses an AppleID when they purchase. Wish Kickstarter would fix this.

Wait'll you see the print edition.
