Mornay!

People shouldn't act like they own or invent a kind of gag. There are millions of ideas floating about, a ton of shared creative spaces, and the tendency for writers to work the same jokes out over and over again in different contexts/with different twists. Just like Stephen King writes the same ideas over and over again to explore them, comedy writers will take a gag and do different versions of it (I've seen John Mulaney work out the same gags numerous times over years). I think this is one of those gags. I've seen it before numerous times in various iterations.

So the question for me isn't necessarily "is this a new gag?" it's "what version of this gag am I going to see? Does it add anything new? How are the performances? How are the timing and the length?"

If MAD Magazine hadn't done that exact thing I would be shocked. I'm shocked it wasn't 40 years ago, that feels more fitting.

In the Garfield Halloween Special they had a version of the monsters are real gag when Garfield is pulling all the masks off and gets to one that has the same exact face under its monster mask.

I swear, the 70s and 80s were full of masks being pulled off. I feel like as a child I assumed there would be more masks when I grew up but so far I've been disappointed.

No salad? In LA? Actually, I can see that in LA. "We have to go there, they're so serious they don't even have salad!"

Turn your water down from rolling boil. Cooking them at a full boil causes them to break open.

I have a weak spot for both liver mousse and cheese mousse. And smoked fish mousse.

I'm not really a cake person (ironic since I love to make them) but that particular kind of cake, with its metallicky frosting and weird preternatural fluffiness, I avoid fervently. Which is fine, because then all you do is pass your plate to the next person! It's an office party, Brenda, not a night out with Jay Rayner.

I make it every year. I get grade-extract beans from this company. I actually still have some vacuum-sealed because I bought a bulk when the price dropped.

I use a combination of everclear and a bit of Meyer's rum to add a little extra oomph of flavor. I let it sit in my dark cupboard for at least 3 months, then gift away.

If you're using both spinach and ricotta, I would go for the spicier sauce as well. It will make a nice counterpoint to your filling. When I've made vegetarian lasagne in the past I really enjoy doing a red sauce with calabrian peppers in it.

Oh man, I love southern molasses cookies. I didn't realize there was a type specific to KY, although I'm not surprised as the culinary traditions of KY are pretty awesome.

The whole food fight between US and UK is starting to feel like an abusive relationship. Like the U.S. left, UK was all "you'll never have your own life, I made you! You're garbage without me!" US was like "I'll show you what I am, and by the way your shit's on your front porch!" And now neither of them can get over each other even though they've both ostensibly moved on.

Ah, yet another denizen of culture who thinks we get all our celebratory cakes from the cooler at Wal Mart.

I agree! It's not the same. It's pourable, it's not as sour, it's awesome.

There's flavored sour cream in that people often flavor it with other things (lemon, curry, vanilla, etc) so I was just being clear, there are no other flavor agents in the dish. It's just that combo of banana-sugar-sour-cinnamon. And it really works!

The number of frittatas I've made for this reason is staggeringly high.

Then something about the live broadcast syncing was off, because that did not look right at all.

I had to look her up because I hadn't heard of her, sorry that I offended the fans. She's definitely not bad, just...very dull IMO.

For me the time bothered me more, because it just shows how little the poster knows about how much time it takes to plan, shop, prepe, cook, and clean. What it sounds like to me is that they want a meal service, just one that has a human figurehead attached for abuse and skapegoating. Just do what your neighbors do and buy a meal plan service. It will be boring, it will be overpriced, but you'll have more time and energy.

Pay your cooking staff better! Hell, pay all your staff better...

I know he goes between NYC and LA and has a huge apartment in Manhattan, so I'd bet sometimes if he's in town, why not if they ask? He's there in no time by train and he doesn't have to rehearse.

I saw the gag coming and it's very obvious, but the performances sell it. James Austin Johnson is doing some Harry Shearer-level voice acting here.

The jokes were bad, but those suits and their physical comedy, that part really worked.

Chloe T. I think they're going to make her the next voiceover person the way Aidy and Cecily use to be.

Sabrina Carpenter's second song is so dull that it doesn't even sound like a song. How can a person be this vapid on stage? Love her dancers, though.

The lip-sync is terrible, too.

That's because the movie totally missed the point of the book. The "powers" in the book are a metaphor for dissociating from trauma, in a sense--the main kid is being horribly abused and discovers that he can "teleport" out of abusive situations to save himself. As a hero origin story it starts out pretty bleak.

It's in various Latin American countries, but they're talking about Mexico (where it is fairly common, usually called plátanos con crema or fresas con crema as I ate them, because we used strawberries). It's unflavored thickened soured cream put on or tossed with the fruit and sugar (usually a lot more than you should have) and cinnamon.

It's basically like a thinned-out sour cream (thin enough to pour). I eat it on strawberries, bits of grilled meats, whatever.
