I almost always use chicken thighs now because it’s so forgiving and it’s not impossible to find boneless thighs anymore.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.

I’m not paying $5 for a lottery ticket to win money, I’m definitely not paying $250 to get into a marathon lottery where I have to run 26 miles and pay for travel.

There's a bbq place here with those that are so satisfying to use. I would definitely get into a squirt fight if I had them at home.
