I do my mise en place when cooking, my struggle is when reading the cookbook, which also knocks out your response to two and three. I'm not asking about how to cook faster, but rather how to understand what I'm reading, days in advance of cooking, before I've even bought the groceries.

That most recipes are written for people to follow in a hurry make sense, so thank you for the recommendations for more technical works.

Love the love for Chicago, but an article on holistic urbanism that doesn't even mention the Emerald Necklace, the Burnham diagonals, or the bike culture is leaving money on the table, as it were.

I remember Harvest Moon 64 had one.

Hence all the many business startups and crowded house and frustrated spouse.

If replying to emails was easy, everyone would do it.

IDK how you're making your hummos that it's not ending up buttery, but you're missing out.

Look, they're both legume patés that you spread on sandwiches. They both pair best with an acidic counterpoint. They both taste great with lettuce, or celery. I'm not coming out of nowhere with this.

IDK why everyone is saying they're nothing alike. There's definite similarities. But they're different enough that you should at least try hummos yourself to see if you like it.

Also, nota bene: If you tried peanut butter in Europe, it's very different from the peanut butter in North America.

This is not like "fag" in the UK meaning cigarette, a word evolving into two separate meanings only one of which is a slur.

You describe in your own comments that the word is considered a swearword, and that older generations still consider it that way. If I've misunderstood this so far, please correct me. That in mind, I don't feel particularly out of line venturing that it's still used to refer crudely to a woman's vagina. Correct so far? And it's also still used as an insult, albeit often a friendly one? Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

On the contrary, my repeated failure in learning to touch-type qwerty are why I learned dvorak: it was reported to be easier to use. And it is! It's not advanced typing, it's Easy Mode.

Uh huh. "I'm used to it and I don't want to change" is such a tired excuse.

Absurd? It's literally what OP asked.
