Maybe because MSG is not something my family ever cooked with. Or not a kind of food you can find in traditional European cuisine (which heavily influences my cooking), but it never occurred to me ...

I own a spoon rest and it's a lot better than a plate (too big) or bowl (the spatulas with long handles tend to tip out of those and fall on the floor making a mess). But the rest yeah...

Immature and passive-aggressive, good thing airline companies are onto this.

There's nothing wrong with fur, if it's made out of animals that are also used for meat, given that those animals are raised and slaughtered in a humane way. If you don't think there'...

No appetizers: the full meal is enough food...
