It looks like it'd get really soggy and wilted. :( People also do yoghurt stuff in jars and put the granola in the middle, in between wet-rear end yoghurt, and that sounds just as soggy and gross as jarred??? salad???

Always gonna be my favorite trash bear. If I ever get banned or probated I want you to be the one to do it.

Also what's with the Drinks-In-Mason jars fad? Like it took off in my corner of Oz a year ago and now every loving bar in town is serving half their cocktails in jars like they can't afford to buy a loving glass. Hell some of the ARE just jars with handles pretending to be a mug.

Good thing they still have the sense to serve beer in a loving Schooners and Pots like a regular person would.

Cafe Rosa Rosa. I will clarify that Rosa Rosa's pizza was OK, I just always disliked the the spaghetti version. The Sugar Bowl opened up about halfway through my tenure at college and I don't think they served spaghetti pizza while I was there. I used to live down the street though and that place had really bad but really cheap pizza ($5 pies). Perfect for a poor college student looking for drunk eats.

The best pizza joint in Lancaster closed a few years ago. I was a transplant to Lancaster and had never heard of spaghetti pizza, but a bunch of my wife's coworkers raved about it. It was OK, but it made me feel way more white trash than growing up white trash did. It made me think that spaghetti pizza would be something off of My Name Is Earl. Like it was lovely leftovers thrown together.

When I was overseas, my wife made 40 cake in a mason jar and sent over a poo poo ton of frosting. The cakes stood up pretty well to a transatlantic trip through the US and Military postal systems. But the weird recent infatuation with Mason jars is loving weird.

Crock pot pulled pork- add a can of Dr. Pepper. Seriously. Use the GWS recipe, but add Dr. Pepper.

Apart from the fact that it was part of a really dumb flavour (Wagyu beef and wasabi cream. For a junk food snack), what the gently caress is Australian Wagyu beef? Australian "Japanese beef" beef. :bravo:

That's just what the breed is called. Apparently if carefully cared for you end up with a much more economical stock of cattle that has a high end market value and a fairly high dressing percentage which means more meat to internal organs weight ratio.

Aus has the largest Wagyu industry outside of Japan itself.

I can't speak to this fad in restaurants, I don't see it around here (Twin Cities). However, it's a very assholish thing to do to your dishwashers in a restaurant. Way slower than normal. It's not cute, it's not edgy, and should not be done to someone who has to wash 600 cups a day.

At home, I do use pint jars because I can and they're around. They're handy, but they are my problem, not some poor bastard that has to clean them.

I suppose the ingredients themselves look alright individually, but I can't imagine how awkward and messy it is to try to eat (drink?) one. It's a sticky, dripping mound of overflowing food smooshed together and precariously balanced on liquid.

It's actually a pretty handy way to make up a salad the night before. And yeah, you bring a bowl to dump it into after you shake it up so the dressing (if you want any) gets all over.

From the bottle I have right now.

Premium Alkaline Water
Naturally black from fulvic minerals.

Back- posted:

Have you been living under a rock?
Because we have. For millions of years, in fact.
Inside this bottle is on of nature's best kept secrets: fulvic trace minerals.

We source our organically extracted trace minerals from deep beneath the Earth's surface and combine them with purified water.

Don't let the color scare you, this stuff is black for a reason. The naturally black trace minerals react with the pure water which gives blk its black color.

With a powerful combination of electrolytes, vital trace minerals and an alkaline ph of 8, blk is pure premium hydration.

Tastes like really weak, cold coffee.
