Personally I prefer to call them turnips.

I call the guys on "the weather channel" "yuk yuks." To use in a sentence, "some yuk yuk hanging on to a sign pole for dear life is supposed to confirm the presence of a hurricane. Did you look at the fooking radar? How 'bout when you were on the way to beach like Clark Griswold in the WallyWorld parking lot and everybody else was driving the other way?"

That's the first step into degrading a recipe: what follows is degrading an entire cuisine.

Thankfully, in Italy, we have strictly enforced laws against such things: don't fuck with our food.

Yep. Used to be a thread here called "what did you last eat?" It turned into "my food is better than your food." So I stopped going.

Kind of a work around the "my candidate is better than your candidate" you see on every other message board. I stopped going to those too.

Some people seem to feel derailing a thread is an accomplishment.

Anyone attempting to make this in the States, should set their ovens to 320 to 338. My accomplishment is that I've translated that because not much cooks between 160 and 170.

And I'm not to the "making my own pasta" stage (and don't intend to go there.) However, I make lasagna with a nine cheese blend. Contamination equals future.

It's the old Celsius v Fahrenheit thing.

Celsius makes more sense to me: water freezes at 0, and boils at 100. Easy to understand as a temperature gage...

True chads use Kelvin.
Jokes aside, I too don't understand farenheit, especially given the fact that, to my knowledge, only the US uses this system.
In general Matric & Celsius are so logically beautiful...I don't understand a word with electic cars and 5G still measuring things in feet and inches....

Sold a five gallon bucket of bolts out of my garage for fifty bucks. If I start spring cleaning now, I might be finished by summer.
