Who eats grilled romaine at all? Isn't it, like, lettuce?
I also wonder: what exactly IS liquid smoke, huh?

Liquid Smoke. I love Wikipedia.

What is even happening?
I particularly liked the bit at the end about how these wacky people on the internet want to add cheese to everything.Cheese is life, lackbrain. Why do you think we eat it? It's what keeps you going. Makes you warm. Makes your arteries hard. Eventually makes you dead, but what a way to go.

Damn right, Cindy.
And seriously, these people are talking about sprinkling a little parm or gorgonzola on top, not covering it with nacho cheese sauce.
I think the worst was the "people keep tinkering with recipes, nevermind that they've all been extensively tested by Gourmet magazine."
Oh, well, then. Guess we can't possibly do any better.
We had a bottle of Liquid Smoke in the cabinet growing up, but I never saw it used for anything. Wouldn't begin to know what to do with it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It's prescriptivist versus descriptivist as applied to cooking, really. I'm cogitating on an essay about pattern VS recipe knitting and I can see a kind of science vs craft divide there, too. Or maybe I've just got Craft Issues.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love the comments on epicurious.com recipes, but that's because I'm a cook like that, too. I have a recipe for lentils that I'd swear is what I use to make them, except I leave out a few ingredients and add a couple of others.

Funny things people have said in court: [link]
Q: You say the stairs went down to the basement?
A: Yes.
Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?
...
Q: All your responses must be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
A: Oral.
...
I've heard this one before:
Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?
A: It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

Wow. That's special. I mean, I mess around with recipes all the time based on what I actually have in the kitchen, and god forbid you have any dietary restrictions.
I mean, cut me some slack. I'm not a sous-chef! Sandra Lee is not representative of me!
