    I don't really watch Matty Matheson as I was introduced to him when that one channel was doing Eats everything at
    He popped up in other videos but I don't go looking for him

    God, I genuinely love the internet. Can you imagine what it was like not to have a hive mind to pitch random nagging trivia at? It makes sense why a beer brewer would create a global infrastructure just to write a book about it.

    Our company's website is celebrating the IT department this week, and one of the team members posted a cartoon of... a dog and a raccoon? sitting on a couch. Dog says "I just thought of something I'd like to know more about," and the raccoon says "Sucks to be you." The caption was "Life before Google"

    Ah-ha! Found it! I had some details wrong. I don't know what to tell you, I've been drinking.

    My mom, who just turned 75 and is otherwise really bad with tech, loves the Google search on her phone. Like when I was driving them to/from Denver last week she'd just look up the topic of whatever conversation and start reading off facts about it.

    Drink Death Cult Update:

    Last of Jedoc's half-dozen. Pumpkin Pie.

    Fucking nothing man. Totally fine after the others. Was just a basic pumpkins spice flavored beverage. Like I wouldn't drink a whole bottle of it, but I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin spice anyway.

    I still like him a million times better than that one guy who seems like a real asshole but whose food doesn't look all that good. Can't remember his name, but I'd know him if I saw him.

    Does, "Guy who seems like an asshole and makes bad looking food" really narrow things down much when talking about YouTube?

    good point

    he reminded me of some kind of lame food mobster but I can't remember why. I watched all of three of his videos so I'm not going to be much help. Also, I don't really care if I ever find out because I'm not going to watch him anyway :winky:

    This smoothie has chopped kale, milk, yogurt, banana, frozen pineapple and chia seeds. Usually I use spinach but I had some kale in my fridge so I swapped it out. Big mistake. You shouldn't be able to chew a smoothie.

    maybe its the fresh vs frozen kale then. the frozen kale in mine is basically already chopped up to oblivion so it mixes up well

    By the way, speaking of Matty, his book Homestyle Cookery is probably my most used cookbook. It's got a really good range of recipes with excellent pictures and explanations.

    Plus, these are still the best enchiladas I've ever had or made:

    Also if you are blending any leafy greens, blend them first by themselves. You'll get a much smoother consistency than if you just blend them with everything.

    Speaking of magical and powerful, if you want to check it out before you buy, the ebook is available on Hoopla, and both of the local library systems have it on Overdrive. Don't know what you're working with locally, but your odds seem good.

    I was going to say kale is good in this country-style kielbasa & potato soup from Cook's Illustrated that I make, but it's leeks, not kale.

    TLDR: Kale sucks.

    Kale looks way cooler than it is, but I will give it props for working in the zuppa toscana recipe we've used around here for the past decade or so.

    What I am saying is that I've found one recipe in 10+ years where it works pretty well, and I'm pretty sure it's just impersonating spinach under a sea of cream in that recipe anyways

    My main experience of kale to date is as non-edible, purely decorative greens on a salad bar (which I used to maintain, and tear down at the end of every night).
    I suspect that may in fact be the best use for it.

    I find both kale and arugula too unpleasant and overpowering of a flavor to mix with anything, it feels like I'm wasting the effort of making the thing its overshadowing. But they are very good as heavily sauced salads, or pesto
