I think I judge food writing these days strictly if it makes me want to cook, and those never do

i've been liking 'the cheat'--especially the fish tacos piece
― still counting on porcupine racetrack (G00blar), Monday, 22 June 2009 17:09 (fourteen years ago) link
we have made the fish tacos at least 6 or 7 times since the recipe came out
― Mr. Que, Monday, 22 June 2009 17:10 (fourteen years ago) link
fish tacos of the ruling class

haha
I still haven't made them! Mostly because my wife is breastfeeding and convinced she can't have cabbage.

well if we're going to talk about it, this was really the LOLiest bit imo:
Michael Shuman, the bassist for Queens of the Stone Age who went to Campbell Hall, is the son of Ira Shuman, a producer of “Night at the Museum” and the new “Pink Panther” films. The band is signed to Interscope Records and performs its psychedelic-tinged hard rock around the world.
I hope that description makes it into a QOTSA press release at some point.
ps Josh Homme's rant on Interscope from 2007 always bears repeating: http://www.antiquiet.com/interviews/2007/12/antiquiet-interviews-josh-homme-of-queens-of-the-stone-age/

yeah I had looked at the fish taco recipe and gone "meh"; Mr. Que, however, cooked up a batch and goddamn are they delicious. The sauce is really, really, really good.
Anyhow I came onto this thread hoping there would be more MeMe stuff.
More batshit crazy woman, please!!!

All white or beige is so sterile, it would drive me crazy (even without the constant maintenance involved).

the article doesn't even go into why rich new yorkers go in for light colored carpet & upholstery -- pretty sure it's BECAUSE they are so expensive to maintain & keep clean, denoting status. the article presents some strange normative idea rich ppl prefering white because, what, they have more refined taste?

you do need to have a pretty sweet place and expensive stuff for a super-white scheme to look good

but how sad for millionaires, being tinged with the same soot as the common beggar, if the rich can't stay clean then who can??

foyers with benches is a good thing for anybody. I hate walking into my apartment and standing in the door way struggling to take off my shoes, my jacket, my bag, put down my umbrella, all without walking 2 more steps into the apartment where I'd inevitably get everything wet.

yes and yes
the style section is relatively new; has become markedly more appalling in the last 10 years - to the point where it's such easy pickins it's almost not fair

"observers of baby consumerism" are quick to point out that babies, as a demographic, are not very discriminating shoppers and will likely choose the product that most easily fits in their mouth
seriously what is an "observer of baby consumerism" and is the pay any good

why do first-time parents write books about becoming parents?
i am generally suspicious of ppl whose whole identity is subsumed by their role as parents but i guess having baby-brain 94/7 affords certain niche marketing advantages
