"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

OK, I went to the supermarket tonight for deodorant, cereal, and bread, and ended up buying $64 worth of groceries. Which did not include bread. Though some of that is due to finding frozen chicken Kiev after several years doing without and getting 8 meals' worth.

I am also left to wonder what the point is of roasts that weigh less than a pound and a half before cooking. Isn't the whole point making enough to feed several people?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How closely can you approximate roast in recipes with other cuts?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

For me, the whole point is to eat roast, for lo, it is tasty.

I dunno... usually I cook single-serving cuts of beef in a skillet or on a grill, and only use the oven for roasts. I guess you could cook prime rib the same way, though.

I was just sent this by e-mail and thought to share: They Didn't Study.

I love the "elephant in the way".

I'm with bt: It's the roast I'm after. Nice roasty taste. Mmm.

I read that NYT article and thought, "I'd bet money that was billytea's therapist." And I was right! I win at, um, something!

That's really quite impressive. What gave it away?

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

Random, trivial question that probably nobody knows the answer to:

If you drop a bottle of soda, how long should you wait before opening it (so it won't foam all over the place)?

Maybe we could guess, and then see who's right....
