@jamiegoode Is was not that long ago the same thing was taking place here. Of course, i am not so sure that is still not taking place here, though to a much smaller audience.

Bad jokes-my favorite kind

@DrPronoun @Canaansdad1987 And Ruth's first contract was with the Orioles, then a minor league team.

[Aaron Mandel @MandelAaron]

@DrPronoun @Canaansdad1987 No, when Ruth signed there was no team called the Cleveland Indians. Ruth signed in 1914 when Cleveland was called the Naps. Before that, they were the Bronchos.

@TRidesmith No, I was not familiar with it. It looks pretty fun though. Thanks.

So far, academia has absolutely nothing to worry about.

I see the Google doodle honors scones today, complete with recognizing the "cream first" and "jam first" debate.

It's gastronomy, but sometimes the ad cuts off at just the wrong (or right) spot.

@vinofictions @TRidesmith @Photos_in_Chile This recipe called for Raisins. I used Apricots.

@TRidesmith @Photos_in_Chile We all have our issues with different foods.

[Aaron Mandel @MandelAaron]

@TRidesmith @Photos_in_Chile I've made the traditional chicken salad many times. Sometimes, you need to explore new styles and flavors. It's what makes cooking fun.

[Aaron Mandel @MandelAaron]

@Photos_in_Chile @TRidesmith It turned out delicious. Admittedly, I used more curry paste than called for.

[Aaron Mandel @MandelAaron]

@Photos_in_Chile @TRidesmith Chicken salad does, indeed have mayo. Usually a mayo/sour cream combo.

@MerriamWebster Master class. Everything is a "master class," even if it's for beginners

@vinofictions @TRidesmith @JohnBGilman This is Missouri. He'll probably become a senator

[Aaron Mandel @MandelAaron]

@vinosity @Photos_in_Chile @CourtyardDairy You need to find the right cultures and make cheese without fear. If you make a mistake, you may have invented a delicious new cheese (or at worst a mess to clean up)

[Aaron Mandel @MandelAaron]

@artisanswiss Other than possibly assisting in the breakdown of the cheese by holding the b linens closer to the cheese, it didn't appear so. Mostly, it serves as a way to keep the cheese together once it breaks down: It's very soft

[Aaron Mandel @MandelAaron]

St Cera (left) a spreadable washed rind cheese, aromatic, earthy and mushrooms but with a soft-buttery texture. St Tola (right) lightly aged goat cheese with a light goat tang.

@VinoSocialNancy It ain't Iowa :-D

[Aaron Mandel @MandelAaron]

I had to visit the cheese cathedral, Neal's Yard. Sadly the producer of Edmund Tew was flooded, so none is available for a few weeks. But I obtained a St Cera (washed rind cows milk) and a St Tola (goats milk).
