You might want to mention that's a Game of Thrones thing. I was sitting here going "Seriously? We're still bandying about that old Asian stereotype?" until I clicked through and realized it was something different.

I was looking for the "this post was sponsored by" but I guess there doesn't need to be one when you're pimping your own (former?) company's products.

I found flies inside a sealed bag of salad mix. The store manager practically fell over himself trying to apologize and seemed mightily relieved when I told him I don't mind, I know it's not his fault, I just want a clean bag of salad :)

That honestly sounds like "exercise bullemia", where you insist on burning absolutely every calorie that crosses your lips. Your body needs SOME calories just to survive (basal metabolic rate), and if you consume too few or burn too many, it goes into starvation mode, holding onto every gram of fat it can possibly hold. Go see a doctor and work out a more sensible plan, please! Our bodies are more complicated than simple math.

I got someone bacon-scented hand sanitizer as a gag gift. He tried to use it while on a road trip once. It smelled like rotten meat and the smell would NOT come off, no matter how hard he washed his hands or scraped the skin. He was eventually pouring hot chocolate on his hands to try and scald the scent off!

Just Hungry has a method of poaching chicken this way that always comes out moist because it's impossible to overcook. It also works for hard-boiled eggs. It's the same principle behind pulling a roast when it's a few degrees too low.

You can make fruity sorbets with just fruit, sugar, and some lemon.

Oh yes, I'm sure the lifelong allergies I developed as a child will magically go away if I eat enough dirt *eyeroll* there may be some basis in the idea of letting infants and toddlers get dirty, but once you've developed allergies they're not going away anytime soon.

"stir together smoked paprika, brown sugar, cayenne, black pepper, and salt"

I don't see cayenne in the ingredients list?
