The good news for riders is that the sardinelike conditions may soon be coming to an end: subway officials have pledged to run more L trains on the weekends, starting in the summer of 2012, according to State Senator Daniel L. Squadron, a Democrat representing parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan whose office requested the study.
An extra train will also be added between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on weekdays, to ease the load on Manhattan-bound trains that are currently packed to capacity. That extra trip is scheduled to begin in December, the report said.
NJ Transit @ Penn Station, rush hour.
I was sitting on the train going wherever I was going.
The train stopped at it's usual stop. Everyone was standing near the doors, eagerly waiting for the doors to open.
Instead of the doors opening as expected, the train moved up a few inches.
Everyone stumbled over at once.
I desperately tried to hold in my laughter. How funny to see hundreds of people stumble over in unison.

Luther improved to 2-0 following a 71-69 victory over Marian University (WI) in a semifinal game of the Bethel University Perkins Tip-Off Tournament.
Luther led at halftime 37-25 thanks to some long range shooting. The Norse finished the night connecting on 11-of-25 three pointers.
The Norse extended their lead to 17 (61-44) at the midway point of the second half. In a seven minute stretch, Marian put together a 23-2 run and battled back and took its first lead of the game (67-65) with just a little over one minute remaining. Six consecutive free throws, four by Jake Martin and two by John Androus down the stretch, secured the victory for the Norse.
Androus, Aaron Huber and Nathan Meyer all tallied 11 points. Martin chipped in eight and collected a game high 11 rebounds. Huber was 3-of-4 from behind the three-point line, while Meyer was 3-of-6.
Luther will play tomorrow night in the championship game at 8:00 p.m. The Norse will face the winner of the other semifinal match-up between UW-Eau Claire and Bethel.

At the consumer electronics show which took place early in January of this year, Google Android swept across a variety of booths, appealing to the tens of thousands of visitors to the convention. Android, after all, had a number of strong items to showcase. Its Nexus S phone, newly released in December, was sporting the snazzy Gingerbread (2.3) system; a wide lineup of tablets, including the best in show winner, were running the Honeycomb (3.0) Android OS; and, according to rumors, an Android 2.4 smartphone was even spotted.
This OS was initially thought to be dubbed "Ice Cream," although the VP of Engineering at Google allegedly told one journalist that it would actually be called "Ice Cream Sandwich." (The journalist believes this is the case partially because the Android HQ receives a new sculpture representing each OS, and that plain old "ice cream" would look too similar to Froyo). Far more important than rumors of the OS's name, however, are the bits of information about its possible release date.
Current predictions slate it for June, or some time later during the Summer. This fits appropriately with the recent schedule for operating system releases, with a summer release for Froyo and a holiday release for Gingerbread. It would also make sense with the name; not only is "ice cream sandwich" an appropriate summer treat just like Froyo, but it falls right into the alphabetical order of the release names (Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich). Additionally, publicity reasons make a summer release highly convenient for Google, as the Google I/O convention would be the perfect place to announce an upcoming OS update — just as they did last year with Froyo. More details are expected in upcoming months, but details should be solidified by the Google I/O in May.

Jolin Tsai dances the night away in Singapore
The pop princess turned dance diva floored local concertgoers with an astounding repertoire of dance numbers and slow ballads
Text: Joanna Goh
Photos: One Production
Videos: Teng Siew Eng
While dancing was never Jolin Tsai's forte, the Taiwanese singer relentlessly trained and pushed herself over the limits to achieve this newfound identity. Likening herself as a wound-up ballerina figure who "jumped out of her musical box", Jolin showed the local crowd what she was made of last night at her "Myself" World Tour concert in Singapore Indoor Stadium.
She kicked off the night with her first dance song 'Hua Hi Die', and performed a total of 10 upbeat tunes, one after another while displaying her insane costume-changing speed of 20s with different outfits to each song.
From a nude bodysuit draped with white beads to a intergalactic outfit with silvery spirals crafted around her, and a white mini 'durian-like' dress that also resembles a feather duster, this adroit dancer's concert outfits were bold, fanciful, over-the-top and very Jolin.
Calling out to the stadium chocked full of fans, she teased the 8000-strong crowd and asked, "Singapore, is that all you've got?" making reference to a widely-acknowledged fact that Singaporeans are slow to "warm-up" in a concert.
The 31-year-old then cajoled the crowd into standing and asked for cheers to go louder, "Show me your sultry side! You have to show it now, if not it will be too late and I'll say bye bye when you guys eventually show it."
Also in town for her best pal Stefanie Sun's wedding shindig on Sunday, it was as if Jolin's pleas worked its charms on concertgoers. Taking a break from her dancing shoes and hypnotic 'voguing' hand moves, she had the entire stadium crooning along to her next ballad song, 'Tian Kong' and the popular duet she once performed with Jay Chou, 'Dao Dai'.
From sexy to cute in 'Ma De Li Bu Xi Yi', the fervent crowd went electric the moment Jolin hit the dancefloor with 'Wu Niang'. Her much-talked about gymnastics routine with the ribbon twirling performance had fans cheering wildly in exhilaration as they watched her flaunt her agility and grace.
Telling fans to treat the stadium as "a nightclub" for her concert, the event morphed into a major dance-out as Jolin and her entourage of dancers came out in fun, nautical outfits. After performing to her earlier up-tempo hits of 'Ye Man You Xi' and 'Kan Wo 72 Bian', the concert came to a show-stopping finish when Jolin started dancing vigorously in a water fountain which spouted out of the stage.
The Taiwanese Pop Princess of yesteryears is now a sexy dancing diva.

Is man more aggressive than animals?
As we all know, some animals, such as tigers, lions, snakes are aggressive, but are man more aggressive than animals? In my opnion, some animals are aggressive because of their instincs. But for man, robbery, killing, war... How to explain? Still instincs? I don't think so.
Comment deleted
May 10 2013: I would argue that animals can be greedy. Think of the fat cat swatting at the younger cat trying to indulge in the food bowl. Sure it could be considered an instinct, but also consider Chimps in their gang mentality and how obsessed they become with status and the aggressive measure they take when nothing is infringed upon them.
May 10 2013: Hey Austin!
This reminds me of a quote by Jonas Salk, that Sir Ken Robinson quoted in his presentation "Schools are Killing Creativity":
"If all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish."
We represent the end of the food chain, but our need to survive now has very little to do with our biological needs. Sure, we know we have to eat, but when it comes to the newest gadget or car or *fill in anything of material value here*, that is where greed comes into the picture and aggression.
I was a kid in the 80's, when the 'Cabbage Patch Kid' hype was nothing short of out of control. I remember being in a department store with my parents one afternoon, when I heard an enormous ruckus that frightened me to my core. Then, I saw in the toy department, where the noise was coming from. Apparently, a new shipment of 'Cabbage Patch Kids' had arrived and about fifty people - adults, not children - were literally exchanging blows to get their hands on one of these things. I remember the fear, and that I wanted to run away. And this was happening on a national scale:
Aggression at this level, that has nothing to do with our basic need for survival, is perhaps now more subtle?
May 8 2013: I am a wildlife artist and have studied animals all my life, which includes all their many facets, and I can assure you- any animal can be aggressive for various reasons, but humans go a step further by being greedy.
Aggressiveness is only a small part of instinct- a very small part.
Humans are greedy while other animals aren't, hence wars etc.
Humans have lost many instincts that other animals possess. We have to track by foot prints while other animals track my smell & sight.
Animals are not aggressive when they hunt, they are focused & hungry. They don't dislike what they hunt they are just getting food. The only other animal that hunts like a human is a chimp. And we all know how close our DNA is to chimps. And chimps only do this when a leopard is near. They set out in a group and hunt the leopard down with clubs cause they know how to hate.
May 8 2013: Agreed, George. As Bob Marley once sang:
"Them belly full, but we hungry;
A hungry mob is a angry mob."
If aggression is motivated by hunger, people will go to more extreme means to fill their bellies than animals. People are psychological. They will manipulate, lie and deceive to survive.
May 8 2013: Hi Austin,
Did you mean "more aggressive than OTHER animals?", We cannot forget the fact that we, too, belong to the animal kingdom and share many traits (including aggressiveness) with other species.
Based on what i have learned, I share the opinion that the human brain is a complex organ that works most of the time autonomously, outside of the control of what we consider "us" (namely, our consciousness). Under this view, humans do not differ from other animals because "they are driven by reason, while they are driven by instincts".
We are as driven by instincts as other animals, and there seems to be some level of consciousness (of course, not as developed as ours) in other species.
Some research has found that certain genes, that manifest in slightly different brain physiology, make some humans more or less able to control the instinctive aggressiveness that lives within all of us.
My hope is that as we learn more how is it that the brain performs the delicate balance between subconscious drives and conscious control of behavior, we will be able to help reduce the effects of our aggressiveness and will be better equipped to teach our children how to deal with it too
May 7 2013: Who said these animals are aggressive?
I've never seen an aggressive animal before, I have been told that there are aggressive animals, but that doesn't make it true.
You have to ask yourself, what's aggression? Because a lion, as well as any other animal's main concern is food, and property protection. I don't think that hunting for prey, and protecting your pack makes an animal titled aggressive, in fact even watching discovery or animal planet films and shows, all of the animals seem pretty laid back to me.
If you wanna talk about animals attacking when they're being enslaved, whipped, and put in cages to be stared at, well, what would you do if that was done to you?
I get aggressive when Im hungry, I get aggressive when protecting my pack and property, but I'm a pretty laid back person.
About the whole human aggressive thing, we're greedier than animals. No one wants simple, everyone wants bigger, better, and faster, because we have been conditioned through media, sales, and people around us, that that's what life is about. We still have some humane humans on earth though, but they're so simple they don't get attention or recognition for us to be aware of their lifestyle and how healthy it is. Nope, just focus on the people who want more, to show people to buy and use more.
And because people feel the need to always have more, the killing, stealing, cheating come into play. Especially in terms of money, it's sickening what people will do for meaningless pieces of paper that kill our trees. But unfortunately, we've been conditioned to believe that's what we need to survive, so we retrieve it by any means. And well all these mental illnesses, I don't know any animals with as many mental illnesses as humans have, makes you wonder where they come from.
And humans don't have instincts, unfortunately, we just have reflexes.

What Have You Been Most Surprised (or Embarrassed) to Learn in the Kitchen?
Reader Discussion
This question was prompted by a really great NPR story about things people were surprised to learn as adults. Some examples: a writer who used the word nonplussed incorrectly for years, and a home cook who didn't know the difference between a rutabaga and a turnip.
→ Read (and listen to) the whole story here: I Was Absent That Day at NPR
"Stuff You Can't Believe You Just Figured Out" is always a rich topic of conversation and we'd love to hear your stories of this in the kitchen. What made you slap your head or say, "I can't believe I didn't know that!!"

Couscous is made of durum wheat, so it is a grain. Quinoa is not a grain, is that what you mean?
Nevermind! It's a pasta! Doy...
@KirstenWI, no, I mean that couscous is more like pasta than a whole grain. (I recently had someone tell me that they're trying to eat more whole grains and therefore they're eating more couscous. I was all - wellllll... I hate to break it to you, but... ;)
I just learned that Coriander is the seed for Cilantro. I actually got in an argument over it, INSISTING that it was not true, then google made me feel like an ass.
I didn't figure out until college that filet mignon is steak and not fish.
The best, though, was when my now-husband/then-boyfriend was first invited to my family's Thanksgiving. My mom made him responsible for bringing deviled eggs. Now, my whole life, whenever we made deviled eggs, we always cut them on the short side. My mom did it, my grandma did it, and I did it. It's how we did it. It was always an exciting crap shoot: some deviled eggs would be super deep, some deviled eggs would have the shallowest of dips. But that's what we always did, and we liked it like that.
My husband shows up to dinner, and his eggs are cut lengthwise. My mom THROWS A FIT. "How was I to know what was how you were supposed to cut them? You trying to make me look stupid!?!?!" To be honest, until I saw his eggs, it'd never occurred to me to cut them lengthwise, either. But now, a decade later, my husband is still in charge of the deviled eggs, and my mom still gives him grief about how he cuts them.
That when making marmalades, you should not discard the seeds, but put them in a cheesecloth bag and cook them with the pulp and rind. Apparently all the pectin is in the seeds!
My husband--nobody's cook--is always schooling me on the right way to store things. I thought bread lasted longer in the fridge and that it's OK to keep potatoes in the fridge, although I don't--wrong on both counts!
It took me SUCH a long time to stop storing my shallots in the fridge. They kept getting moldy before I could use them all, then I finally read something that said they should always be kept in a cool pantry. No more mold, they keep forever now!
Two stories that still make me laugh ...
When I was 16, I went to a fancy restaurant and ordered the halibut - I pronounced it "ha-li-BU" (I really thought that was correct). The very kind server did not correct me, but barely made it from the table with a straight face.
And, when I was little, I asked my dad what kosher meant - he told me it meant that some food had been specially blessed by the Pope. I was in my twenties before I straightened out that one for myself.
I just learned a few years ago that pickles come from cucumbers. I always assumed there was a pickle plant out there somewhere and that's why other things could be "pickled" such as pig's feet - they got put in a jar with pickles. Wah wah.
More amused than embarrassed, but when I was little I read in a book somewhere "those who live in glass houses should not throw scones" which seemed pretty apt (I'd never eaten a scone but they can look pretty hard/crunchy and could break a glass house).
I still prefer it over the real proverb!
When I was 16, I went on a fancy date and we had a platter of shrimp served with a side of marinara dip and lemon-flavored dip, which was my favorite! At least I thought it was lemon-flavored dip. Apparently it was the bowl to wash your fingers with. My date kept a straight face the whole time until we were almost done.
One word: sweetbreads
When I was 17, I decided that I would make my parents a special dinner for my dad's birthday. The recipe called for 3 cloves of garlic, and I did not realize that the cloves were the small pieces inside - NOT THE ENTIRE BULB! Mom took one bite and said oh, honey, I think ya messed something up. My dad, on the other hand, insisted that it was fantastic, but he's pretty doting AND will eat Lebanese garlic sauce by the spoonful!
That A1 steak sauce wasn't "Al" steak sauce.
My mother loves to cook with wine, so much so that I went to college thinking that food was sautéd in wine. Just wine. Sauté in fat? Deglaze? What?!
That marzipan is actually delicious and semisweet. I'd always thought it was an overly sweet goo that was best avoided.
I found out recently that prunes are dehydrated plums. Someone forget to send me the memo?
I always thought chocolate came from a bean, not fruit. When i was in Colombia photographing farmers, i accidentally stumbled upon cacao farmer (this guy http://www.jeremymerriam.com/asp_scripts/print_image.asp?WebsiteID=36139&GalleryID=111012&MediaID=3126596&Print=0 )
lol, it was such a tasty and sweet milky fruit. Be cafeful because the seeds are tempting to eat as I did, only to spend the entire night tossing and turning. They are super powerful like the affects of chocolate!
In fact just yesterday I was looking for chickpeas to make hummus. On the shelf there were navy beans, pinto beans, lima beans, garbanzo beans, but where were the chickpeas?? D'oh! I didn't realize garbanzo beans were chickpeas.
This winter, I learned that bacon and avocados are delicious.
A chipotle pepper is just a dried jalapeno pepper...
mayo is just egg whites and oil...
Yam vs. sweet potato.
That vanilla is an orchid; tomato is in the nightshade family.
That pumpernickel bread wasn't made of pumpernickel flour/plants/seed, whatever. I pictured fields of waving pumpernickel......
It took until my fourth year of college to discover that not all meat was dry, stringy, and tough and not all vegetables were mushy, bland and canned. My mom's cooking has improved a bit since then but she still cooks steaks until they're leathery.
Yesterday the cashier at the grocery asked us how we had the patience to peel kumquats! My husband explained very tactfully the best way too eat them.
mayo is egg *yolks* - not whites - and oil
chuckle...mayo is egg *yolks* and oil
I didn't realize how Brussels Sprouts grow (or that they're called BrusselS sprouts and not Brussel sprouts) until a couple of years ago when I saw them on a giant stalk at a farmer's market and was all "What is THAT?!" I never really ate them as a kid so I guess I never stopped to think about how they grow.
I learned that a dead mouse under the refrigerator smells just like old onions.
Chilean sea bass was originally called toothfish. Canola oil was originally rapeseed oil. Most "crab" in sushi restaurants is in fact imitation crab. Oh, marketing, how insidious you are.
That things that seems SSSSOOOO scary to make aren't really scary at all.
Crème brûlée (http://www.joyofcooking.com/recipe/creme-brulee), chocolate truffles (http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/medrich/0998/truffles.html#axzz2Lwvtrxq1), osso bucco (http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/osso-buco-with-gremolata.html) and prime rib (http://www.lawrysonline.com/all-recipes) have to be the easiest things to make, thanks to the great recipes I have discovered over the years.
Growing up having these "fancy" dishes at restaurants I just thought I'd have to go out to eat them. Nope!!! I make them at home and impress all my friends and family.
I was at the farmers market a few years back and asked what are those?
The farmer said those are "gourds".
I said "I never tasted those before, are they good?".
He said "You do not eat them, they are for decorations".
I said "Well then that explains why I never tasted one"
And added "I learned something new today and that makes this day a good day".
So, i just learned that chipotles are dried jalapenos. Totally missed the boat on that one and feeling pretty dumb right now. More so because i was about to comment that they are in fact NOT THE SAME THING... that is until i google'd it. Whoops. :)
My friend watched me in awe the other day as I cut an avacado. She was always struggling to peel it before cutting it off the seed. I blew her mind when I cut around the seed and used my knife to remove the pit.
I also had a roommate who didn't know the rack in the oven was removable! I had to explain to use an oven mitt to pull it out!!! Crazy!
I will rat out my 22-try old son...he took a dozen eggs out of the fridge that had been given to me by a co-worker who has free range chickens. The eggs were in a recycled egg carton thus the expiration date on the carton had passed. The extremely smart son (3.8 GPA soon to be college grad) asked if the eggs should be tossed since they had turned brown!
Last year I realized that baking soda needs an acid to become activated. It was a revelation, thanks to Joy the Baker.
oops ;) ... still learning
That filberts are hazelnuts
We went out to dinner once and my dad ordered a bottle of Merlot. The waitress replied, "Oh, you mean Mer-LOT?" Her pronunciation was especially humorous since my dad is a winemaker...
Many (many!) years ago, I occasionally did some work for a caterer, just working at parties to serve food, refill trays, etc.
Well, I arrived to one party and was informed I was going to play bartender. I had NO idea how to tend bar, was only 20 so had never been IN a bar. I protested but was put behind the bar.
I got club soda & tonic mixed up all night, and compounded the problem by being sort of ... belligerent ... about it when people questioned/complained about their weird drinks.
& bonus, this isn't about food, but I JUST realized about a year ago that "Twinkle twinkle little star" and the alphabet song are the SAME song, melody-wise.
- In my mid-20s, I went to a fancy wine-tasting which included a bottle which would now cost a couple of hundred dollars. Wow. Light-years better than the Gallo and Almaden served at my family dinners. I finally understood why people could get serious about wine.
- that blintzes are folded after rolling; my mother didn't fold the ends and the cheese always leaked out into the pan.
- that the secret to good potato salad is to toss the hot drained potatoes with vinegar, then cool them and add the mayo or sour cream.
@Elizabeth Lena, a Spanish friend who speaks otherwise flawless English also once ordered the hal-i-boo. He will live it down half past never.
At a seafood restaurant, my then teenage sister: "Wait, shrimp have heads?"
After asking what was on tap, ordering a Woodchuck, and drinking most of it:
Friend: This is the worst beer I've ever had.
Me: That's cider.
Friend: Well, then that's why.
When we were kids, my brother (he was actually probably about 16...) was cooking a can of condensed soup and couldn't figure out how much a "can" of water was :)
Been almost crying with laughter as I read down thru these. With you on the coriander/cilantro; I only learned that this year. After under/over baking hundreds of dozens of cookies, it finally dawned on me that--wait for it--YOU CAN USE A SEPARATE TIMER FOR EACH OVEN SHELF! Woohoo! I'm only 57, there are lots more cookies in my future.
NOW I know for sure that a clove is the little piece in the big garlic! ;) I was never sure and luckily I was one to just toss in a few little's to a recipe, not peel all the little's in the BIG clove and toss into a recipe. YES, laughing at these posts..haha.especially,,'what does Kosher mean and the dad's answer' :)
I missed years of fluffernutters at daycare as a kid because the only white stuff in a jar we had at home was mayonnaise, and I knew I didn't want a peanut butter and mayo sandwich. I was a teenager when I learned the truth.
After being a vegetarian for many years I was working with adults with developmental disabilities and during my FIRST cooking lesson I was helping a guy make chicken breasts. I said "well first you want to turn the heat up really high so it cooks fast." We seared the chicken breasts on both sides and it LOOKED beautiful- then I sliced into it, and as you would assume, it was bright pink aside from the outside. I totally panicked, had no idea what to do- I was 27! The fire alarm eventually went off and I ended up buying this guy a sandwich at the deli down the street. It was actually thanks to a great how-to on the kitchn that I learned how to make really incredible chicken breasts.
Recently found out that most boxes of plastic wrap, tin foil, wax paper, etc...have "push-in tabs" on the ends of the box. No wonder the roll would always come out when trying to tear it off!
Since we're clearing up misunderstandings here...chipotles are smoke-dried ripe jalapenos and mayonnaise is an emulsion of egg yolks and oil.
Sherri S... I never knew that about the boxes of plastic wrap, tin foil, etc...
Mind Blown.
I had that moment too about three years ago at the Jean Talon Market in Montreal. I actually gasped out loud! It just made the vegetable more magical to me... :)
Oops - that in response to @kerry81480 regarding brussel sprouts.
Um, what's all this about plastic wrap/tin foil?
I didn't know the vinegar + milk = buttermilk thing until waaaaay late. Far, far too many weekend morning trips to the store JUST for buttermilk for pancakes have been made.
At age 9 i was home alone (dont remember why), hungry and wanted pancakes but did not know HOW but was hungy enough to risk it.... then it dawned on me the box had instructions on the back so in fact I COULD made them .... about a month later i figured the instruction on the back of the boxes were recipes and if i can follow one i can follow the other... so i could use the old recipe book and make my own meal without having to wait for my mom to get back or up and do it for me. (and the result would be edible)
Around this time my mom decided to "teach" me for security sake after she discovered i had no idea how to properly grab a knife, or any idea of how to dice a tomato or not to mix hot oil and water but i would try to cook eitherway.
Bonus: At almost 50 my dad decided to learn to cook and asked me how to make pancakes...i pointed out the instructions on the back of the box... he could not believe that was it.
My son's disappointment and astonishment when the pizza he took out of the oven was still cold and rubbery after the 10 mins stated on the instructions - he'd never been told about preheating!
My partner eating prawns whole, head, carapace and all, always seems to amuse people.
It's more an international thing, but I was terribly confused when I started reading American cooking blogs. Different names! It took me a while to realise that cilantro meant coriander (we use the same name for the seeds and the leafy part) and that arugula was rocket. I actually have a recipe jotted down which has a footnote to find arugula somewhere, when we had a salad that night with rocket in it...
After reading 14 pages of comments on a pregnancy message board about this topic (not about food, just generally) the tabs on plastic wrap and foil were the top answer followed by a really disheartening number of adult people who had been using their teeth or even pliers to remove that cap thing on a new container of deodorant.
Whoa, what?!? Game changer.
57 years old, and I'm just learning that there are tabs to secure the wrap rolls?
I was 18, I think, when my younger sister and I were home alone and about to bake some freezer pizza's.
I actually asked her if I was supposed to take off the plastic before putting it in the oven... Probably avoided a house fire there.
Sherri S - Now thats something they dont tell you on food netwrok.. and I just had to get up from my seat n check that !!! thank you!!
sweetbreads, took me a while to figure out... I thought it was bread with fruits n nuts...
Couscous I found out about after 2 years of cooking pasta, that it was not a grain... so I was very skeptical about Quinoa :)
milk in the US does not need to be heated before using.. In India all milk bought needs to be boiled before use.
and am still shaking my head and laughing at a few of the above!!!
I was thoroughly embarrassed when an older friend corrected my only-read-in-cookbooks pronunciation of cumin. I said "come in" and was devastated to be be schooled like that in front of our friends. Of course, the thousand times I've been wrong since have made me realize I likely do have more to learn.
I remember learning that a tiny pinch of salt in cafe con leche makes all the difference...
That "Arby's" is is just a funny way to spell "RB" or roast beef. Had always assumed that a guy named "Arby" started a roast beef sandwich restaurant.
I've always pronounced "gratin" the way it's spelled, the ugly American way. Gra-tin. The snooty person at my local kitchen supply store corrected me most snootily. Apparently it's grah-teen.
Whatevs. She coulda sold me a nice Benriner but she was so snooty I gave my dollas to Amazon!
^ WTF? I thought it was some guy name Arby as well!
^ WTF? I thought it was some guy name Arby as well!
Rice Crispies are made from actual rice.
Being from a different country, I had only had pizza a few times (age 5 back then)... I decided to make my own pizza with mom's help of course... I used pita bread for the crust, ketchup for the sauce, and american cheese on top. My mom let me bake it–probably laughing whenever she left the room. I ate it a bunch of times apparently and enjoyed it (I was a weird kid)... When I was in college, I had those same ingredients in my fridge and nothing else, so I tried making it thinking, it might be good. I gagged and choked so hard, I couldn't eat (real) pizza for a really long time afterwards...
I'm not very visual, so I felt stupid when I first read about the push in circles at the ends of rolls in a box. I found them only on aluminum foil and immediately pushed them in and it really helped. However, the next box didn't have them. I just checked in the drawer right now. I have 4 boxes, parchment, plastic wrap, aluminum foil and wax paper. Only the "Saran Wrap" has push in circles at the ends.
When I was a child and read directions to " hand mix" batter...well...I plunged my bare hands right in and started mixing : )
As an adult, that red, green, orange, and yellow peppers can be from the same plant.
They are different degrees of ripeness.
That there isnt a seperate green bell pepper plant and red bell pepper plant. Haha!
I used to think the sickly, sugary, overly sweet frosting on grocery store cakes was "icing" and that the wonderful buttercream version was "frosting." Until years ago when I was detailing how much I hated "icing" and much preferred "frosting." My coworkers pointed out my error and now I know that there are different kinds of frosting, that "icing" is something different altogether and it's good!
When I was cooling newly steamed lobster tail in an ice bath recently, from my peripheral vision, I saw a bubble coming from one of the tails, similar to while
debearding mussels in cold water. As I looked directly to the tails, it happened again. Is that osmosis or what?
The color of a chicken's egg is the same as the color of its earlobe.
dont put barley in a slow cooker for 8 hours!!! unless you want to make glue
Great posts :)
For myself -- Over 30 years ago, making dinner for the first time for my in-laws and found out the hard way that rice really, really expands in the rice cooker.
And just last week, learned that baking powder has baking soda in it.
I was always a picky eater growing up; lots of things were no bueno as far as I was concerned (especially Seafood!) and for the most part, soup was my main go-to meal. My favorite soup was clam chowder. (Manhattan OR new England...didn't matter- loved them both). I was 12 before I figured out clam chowder =seafood chowder. BUT! True to my seafood hating self, I never realized why I left those little rubbery things in the bowl while I ate everything else UNTIL I realized at 12 that they were the clams...ie, the seafood that I still didn't like. I am consistent with that, even in the present!
>> I JUST realized about a year ago that "Twinkle twinkle little star" and the alphabet song are the SAME song, melody-wise.
Now I want you to sing Baa, Baa, Black Sheep...
According to <http://www.arbys.com/about.html>... it "stands for R.B., the initials of the Raffel Brothers - although many suspect the R.B. stands for roast beef."
They had a commercial where they sang that it stood for "America's Roast Beef, Yes Sir!" so I always thought it was a five-letter acronym! Mark me as learning something new today...
actually, all the pectin is in the peel, not the seeds!
There are push-in tabs? WTF!!!!!!
I never learned about hot sauces until my mid-twenties. I had never worked with Tabasco in my life, and used half a bottle to make one bloody mary. A few years later, my boyfriend introduced me to Sriracha, explaining that it's a mild garlic chili sauce. I was left unsupervised with the bottle and a plate of eggs.
I learned how to peel ginger with the flat back side of a knife. I was ridiculed by my vietnamese friend for using a real peeler and wasting ginger...
I did not know that you shouldn't put eggplant in the fridge. And I only found out in the last 6 months that aubergine is eggplant (I was so annoyed reading some recipes.)
Oh and that brown rices TAKES TWICE AS LONG TO COOK than white. And if there is any water on your vegetables, your oil will spit back at you in anger. Thanks for the scars, grapeseed.
Seriously? I have never heard "gratin" pronounced any other way than "grah-tin". And if my college French serves me, it could be "grah-tan" but grah-teen? Yeah...no.
Seriously, different colored peppers don't come from different plants? Gonna say that is my "I can't believe I didn't know that before."
Discovering that a glass, pyrex dish can't withstand direct heat from a gas burner... of course I learned this valuable lesson while hosting my first Christmas dinner for my entire family.
Glass. and. vegetables. everywhere.
growing up I always thought Brussels Sprouts brussel sprots lol were baby cabbages
Calm down about those foil/plastic-wrap tabs everyone: they really don't work that well.
When I first moved to Boston, my brother explained to me that I should never use hot water directly from the tap because it leeches lead from the old pipes more than cold water.
Also, when I was 5 I heard "chopped liver" as two words for the first time and stopped eating it forever.
When I was 15, an ice storm knocked out the power in the house for two weeks. My dad brought in the old gas camping stove from the garage so we could cook food. The first day everyone was gone and I was left to my own devices to try to cook something, I turned the knob on the stove and couldn't figure out why it wasn't getting hot. I turned it to high, and nothing happened. I eventually turned it off and ate something else. My mom got home a bit later and smelled that the house was full of gas, so we had to open all the doors and windows to air out the house (and let in the freezing temps).
It wasn't until college when I had a gas stove that it all made sense.
Hey, I still do that! I find it's the best way to mix cookie dough :) And then I really can say I made them by hand!
@Elizabeth Lena--I'm a little late to this thread and don't know if you'll see it but I just have to tell you how hard your halibut comment made me laugh. I'm still laughing. It's so cute and hilarious!
It's actually grah-tehn, the French way, no "een". You could've snootied her back!
Many of these revelations are blowing my mind. Chipotle peppers? Tabs in foil wrap? Amazed.
I went to a Thanksgiving dinner where the host discovered, upon removing the roast ham from the oven, that he hadn't removed it from the plastic wrap, so he'd lovingly basted a plastic wrapper for hours.
My cousin had to make vichyssoise for her French class potluck, and her mother went into the store asking for the ingredients to make "Vicky - o- see".
If you twist the ice cube tray all the cubes fall out very easily. Prior to learning this 6 months ago, I broke many trays by banging them on the counter and having the cubes fall everywhere.
You can stick the ice cube tray in a ziploc bag, and then bang away - I discovered this last summer.
As a youngster, if I was making pasta just for myself, and not the entire box, I thought I had to reduce the amount of cooking time proportionally. Never dawned on me to try the pasta, so I ended up eating a lot of practically raw noodles.
For me, it was the fact that Pam cooking spray has chemicals in it. I honestly never thought about how they made the oil spray from the aerosol can, though now it seems like the most obvious thing ever.
Here at the hospital working a night shift and trying SO hard not to laugh out loud! "hand mixing" is one of my faves.
Being a nurse I felt remarkably stupid when I realized 3 years ago (age 26) that ribs are from RIBS. I was really grossed out by the thought! I think I still ate some though, yum ;)
So many of these are funny! And some are the same things that once embarrassed me too. : )
I have to out a dear relative because it is also funny. She is older and very polite and considerate. She says "war-chester-shire sauce", while I say "whist-er-sher sauce". I learned of our difference while teaching her a recipe that called for Worcestershire Sauce. I kept hearing her whisper something but couldn't make it out (I have very bad hearing). I finally managed to lean in toward her at the right time and heard what she was saying. She was trying to correct me without letting my family hear! I finished out the cooking trying to remember to just say "the sauce" and then had a chuckle to myself when she was gone. I tried explaining it to her the next time I saw her, but she's convinced she's right. We agree to pronounce it differently. :)
