I could see being bothered if the stock photos were proof that the recipe hadn't been tested by the magazine (which may in fact be the case), but..I'm really not getting the moral outrage here. A picture of a hot dog "undermines everything we [vegans] stand for"? Really? Everything?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
JZ, I think you can wait until Monday, if you want to.
You can. Filing deadline is the 18th, this year.

when they made the recipe it looked nothing like the photo.
"Is there a picture of that in the cookbook? Is it supposed to look like that?"
Yes, I went to a Carlin place. I'm having a low-empathy day and just being amused by the outraged vegans. But I'm often amused by vegans. I apologize to any local vegans for the insensitivity.

Yes, it is the 18th this year b/c the 15th is Emancipation Day in DC.
ETA: Your state tax return may still be due on the 15th, but Federal is the 18th.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, that blog has a huge history of that sort of hyperbole. They were also the ones who tested food from a bunch of vegan restaurants in LA a few years ago and "proved" that a bunch of it wasn't vegan. (There was one restaurant where I believed it -- that restaurant claimed to use a particular brand of vegan cheese, which is a widely-available brand, and I've seen a bunch of pictures of food from that restaurant where the cheese is obviously not that kind. The other ones, though, the tests mostly picked up small levels of egg and dairy, and I think that levels that small might have been cross-contamination from either the factories where ingredients were made or from kitchen workers not washing their hands thoroughly.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Your state tax return may still be due on the 15th, but Federal is the 18th.
You almost had me relaxing. I filed Federal ages ago. It's state I'm leaving until the last minute. I'll do it when I get home today. Which might be soon. This week sucks abjectly.

I once made a loaf of challah that could have been a recipe illustration - that one time it came out absolutely gorgeous. I got the braid perfect, the egg wash on the surface came out the perfect shade of brown ... sigh ... tasted good, too.

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