Oh I know, I was making a really lame attempt at internet comedy.

I do need some ammunition to hit back with, though... you wouldn't believe the poo poo I get on phone calls about the Red Sox, and I hate baseball.

Fake edit: If a server asks you if you want ranch while you are eating, say yes. Try it, but even if you don't actually like/want it, it is rude to refuse a people's most defining delicacy.

Oh loving gross. I hate ranch dressing; if that truly is your people's "most defining delicacy", then maybe I'll stick to Mexican. :colbert:

So I read a scientific study that if you don't think cilantro tastes like soap that means you're dumb. It was proven with science.

Actually due to a spreadsheet error it was scientifically proven that it's the other way around and if you don't love cilantro so much you could eat handfuls of it by itself, you're autistic.

I just ate seared beef liver that was basically like beef liver tataki - totally raw in the middle. It was unbelievably tasty and tender. I was shocked how good it was.

It'd been frozen so I think it's safe? If it's safe I strongly recommend it.

Well no poo poo. Liver is the best mostly raw. Just be careful for liver flukes: make sure you trust your supplier. Things are generally ok in North America but I wouldn't go bottom barrel.

by that logic you should ban cars and guns and raw meat and alcohol and pet snakes and babies and

93% of people with a listeria infection are hospitalized. And the other 19 to 25% of them die. The 50 to 25% of the hospitalized end up with lifelong debilitating problems.

It's a ubiquitous organism too.

It thrives in dark wet and somewhat saline environments.

Kinda like cheese aging places...

Ok I'm confused about these numbers. Are you saying that of the 100% of people infected with listeria 19-25% die? Or of the 7% of people not hospitalized 19-25% die. Or of the 93% hospitalized, 19-25% die?

I am having a few work colleagues and my students round for dinner at some point soon, and I want to cook something French. From things that a few people have said in the lab, I have decided I have to make a pâté starter, and do crème brûlée for dessert, but I don't know what to do for a main course. I did coq-au-vin last time I did a French menu, but there are a couple of overlapping guests, and I don't want to look like a one trick pony.

Try to y'all CDC statistics into my phone using Siri while my break from work doesn't work I'll like right.

I will leave that one on there because that supposed to say trying to yell statistics from the CDC website using Siri as a translator does not work all that well.

I'm not an epidemiologist. I don't know how they come up with the statistic of 93 percent of infected end up hospitalized.

The scary part is: in hospital for listeria infection-1 in 5 die.
A quarter to a third (maybe half depending on on the survey) end up really hosed up.

I think cassoulet and boeuf bourguignon are good options. Bouillabaisse is out because one of the guests is a retarded man child who doesn't like ANY seafood.
