Not only did you nail the frico on the crust, your pepperonis are perfectly cupped and crisped!

For the love of all things rational, hearing all of their voices is just delightful!

Yes. Is baby. :)

The “need not discussion so goes in announcements” thing is actually brilliant.

Wait, what? Can this power be taught? :)

They really are! The last batch I grabbed from HEB were so mild I left the membrane/seeds in. The ones I got yesterday I seriously wondered if they were cross-bred with ghost peppers. :)

Thank you for writing this "behind the scenes" piece. I discovered yall with You Need Better Friends. The videos were amazing and absolutely looked like a lot of work (I have a video editing background) and, not surprisingly, they were. :)

I am so glad you were able to recover it. In information security we have a saying: "offline, versioned backups." All of us eventually learn the hard way that cloud syncing is not a backup. If something gets corrupt, like yours did, it'll sync the corrupt version repeatedly.

I had a Prodigy account for awhile....1989, I think. It was unique being all graphical (albeit slow on 1200 bps). My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I remember it really lacking the forums that CompuServe, GEnie, and AppleLink/AOL had. (I also think it was just $10/mo and not per minute.)

Similar to what I do. I stick it on the top shelf of the pantry and quite literally forget about it. :)

Coincidentally, I have a batch going. How long do you typically go? I'm looking to go eighteen days (doing pastrami this weekend). I wish I had started it earlier.

(Just realized, somehow, I wasn't following you on here.....which probably explains how I had no idea you had written a book. Also....jealous of the Princeton University Press imprint.) :)

I had no idea you had written a book! This looks like something I would enjoy immensely. August 4 can't get here soon enough. :)

While my university is getting much better at this, sometimes I think no one wants to be the first to blink and close. Then, right after one closes, they all close, often within an hour. The K-12 school districts, of course, announced their closures two days prior.

BABY!!!! :)

Relatedly, as I have been in the infosec realm for a great many years....I start asking myself more and more.....have we really moved the needle? Have we? Or maybe we just convinced the employers that we have.

Same. They, over the years, have made some really overpriced stuff, but things like the AcousticMass speakers were just simply astonishing. All that sound from those itty-bitty things!

In all seriousness, kinda into how the shelves and doors work/are arranged.

HEB tortillas. :)

Yours doesn’t have the made-in-store ones? (Or were they out….mine was….but I have some in the freezer, thankfully.)

I need to give this a listen. I mostly enjoyed VI, but something(s) bothered me about it and I’ve never been able to really put my finger on it/them all this time. Walter’s opinion might give me some insight.

I am very glad you persevered to finish it; it is absolutely gorgeous.

I mean this will all reverence and sincerity: that is one of the most awesome and stunning things of which I have ever seen (and I have some knowledge of the effort cross-stitching takes). :)

Huge baby is huge! :)

I know, right??!!

Never can go wrong with M51. :)

Big baby cat!!! :)

Does it really look the way it does in photographs?

A little sprinkle of that white powder tends to make anything better. :D

I need to try one with serranos and garlic. I find most recipes either way too sweet or too acidic. My base is one cup each of water and white vinegar, then just one tablespoon each of salt and sugar. One red onion and all in quart mason jar.
