  • I'm also running All-Clad. Not sure/don't think All-Clad meets all of your specifications, but so far mine are absolutely BIFL. I use mine on induction, propane, and sometimes natural gas (I bring my cookware with me when I'm going to be cooking for people).

    Here's my pitch: we live on our sailboat. These pans get knocked around hard. Pacific Ocean storms, salt air, salt water washing, all stainless cooking utensils (my partner knocks the utensils on the rim and the inner surface :/ ). I've had some of these for ~13 years of this abuse.

  • The United States was founded on principles of liberty and equality for all.

  • The Reuben at Greenburg's Deli in NYNY is always on my must-have list. Pretty much anything at Block 16, China Poblano (Mexican-Chinese cuisine), and Momofuku in The Cosmopolitan. If you like tasting menus, Partage is excellent. And if you like tiki bars, Frankie's (classic, divey) and Golden Tiki (next to Partage) are both great experiences.

  • For anyone unfamiliar, I'd say that Tacos El Gordo alone is worth making the trip to Las Vegas. Everything is amazing. My faves are al pastor on sopes, but you seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't panic if the line is around the corner; it moves quickly. Absolutely get a michelada while in line and the michelada woman is selling.

  • RA... oof. That shit is a curse*, a giant FU from the universe. I hope you get the relief/management you need. Tangential: does the prednisone get you all hyper?

    *My aunt had it. In my pre-teens, my mother sent me to live with and care for her in final years (it wasn't the RA that got her), so I deeply empathize with your health struggles.

  • Bruddah/sistah/non-binaryah, I know your pain intimately. I got my first shot in the knee 3 months ago. "And to think... I hesitated." Sending warm recovery thoughts your way. What kind of physical therapy regimen does the sawbones have you on?

  • Season has... begun? Are you implying that grilling season ever ends?

  • I know ricotta doesn't go on stromboli.

    That's just food abuse. And I'd still mow down a bunch.

  • Roland AE-30 (wind synth). It's great to get back to playing "saxophone," as well as use it in my MIDI setup to control other synths. Added bonus: it's small enough to pack just about anywhere, and I can practice anywhere, anytime with headphones. Even just running scales is chill, meditative time, especially during stressful workdays.

  • I interpret "guilty pleasures" as things that are not-so-great, but I enjoy them anyway. No shame implied in my head. Some crappy, simplistic EDM track, but is still a total earworm... sign me up! Nothing like that for you?

  • Velveeta, specifically a Velveeta cream sauce on thick al dente pasta.

  • Wait ... Is it even legal to eat Oreos without dipping them in milk?

  • My guess it's even older than that. My bullshitspiration is that peristalsis enabled more complex digestion when our quadruped ancestors needed more nutrition options.

  • He made a step, perhaps a bit too long in a mistaken direction, but understanding didn’t and won’t stop with him. How everyone reacted to his theory was also part of the fault.

    These are excellent points and spot on. We're all looking for the silver bullet and elevator pitch, even those of us who know better. "Oh, just stop eating fatty meat, eggs, and salt!" Except it's way more complex than that. To Keys' credit, he also highlighted the importance of weight management/obesity, cardiovascular health, and "regular" exercise. The definition of "regular" of course keeps getting modified.

    Too much fat is still bad.

    Agreed, although too much of anything is bad. "The toxicity is in the dose." Keys pushed replacing saturated fats with PUFAs, which became a whole different problem with industrial PUFAs becoming the norm. Industrial PUFAs are high in Omega-6 EFA while being low in Omega-3 EFA. Humans don't actually need any digestible carbohydrates to survive, but we very much need fats and protein to live. Nutritional research has merely been negotiating on where the borders are.

    But it doesn’t make the harm of cholesterol moot. Or do you now want to ignore the other data yourself?

    We worry too much about exogenous cholesterol, when endogenous cholesterol is the real problem. Cholesterol is a lot like that joke about the guy looking for his keys in the middle of the street. "Did you lose your keys around here?" "No, but this is where the light is." Cholesterol, especially back when nutrition policy was being set, was what we could easily measure, and that was a correlation that science pursued. Epidemiological studies are notoriously tricky, sometimes just a step above anecdote. And to discuss these things in any serious detail requires a couple book-feet of text, most of it being contextual qualification.

    Regarding the importance of cholesterol as a risk indicator: What's probably closer to the truth is balance of HDL to LDL and cholesterol to HDL, with triglycerides being a case-by-case basis. If I recall correctly >500mg/dL being the absolute level for concern and interventions, with >200mg/dL being considered abnormally high.

    I think in the end, we all have to find what works for us at our given point in life. Because no silver bullet and there's no way to discuss these things simply and quickly.

  • But ya know what has been proven to contribute to heart disease, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, NAFLD, hyperinsulimia/Type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation? Refined carbohydrates (Taubes, Lustig, et al).

    I kinda understand the downvotes because we've had 50+ years of saturated fat fearmongering. But when you start digging into this long running, test-in-production experiment on human diet and health, it's hard to avoid conspiratorial thinking.
