Yakov: I thought of Just Pies, too! Used to live a couple blocks away from it. Also, their pies are horrid =(
Re: Flan: I've only had it twice so far down here. But I did have brigadeiro last night, and ho-lee-shit:
Spoiler:
And I've made flan from scratch at the house. Baked six ramekins worth. It's quite easy, actually. Requires almost no work at all. The caramel on top so makes it. Melted brown sugar is so fucking good.
Re: yogurt drinks: I hated them for ages, but now I love them. Took some getting used to. Seems like they're not all that popular, at least among crackers. -
I fuckin' love kefir. Though around here we call it Gogurt because we ain't bougie.
-
Kefir is still a bit thick for me, but I'm getting there. I've really come to love the thinner kind, though. The flavor is incomparable.
-
The one in westerville was pretty decent, though I only go there on Pi-day. Last year I tried a chocolate-mint pie that was good.
-
Westerville, eh? I've only been to the Clintonville/Beechwold one. I'll have to try the other one if I'm up north again someday. It will probably follow another overindulgent trip to Taco Nazo on E-161. Have you been, Yakov? Exceptional tacos.

We call it gogurt because gogurt is possibly the most hilarious word ever created. And I hear the rent is too damn high party disagrees with your bougie self assessment.
-
As a member of that party I agree. What the fuck is a door man? Bedroom with a sink and call it an apartment? Bah!
-
Gogurt is a pretty great word.
-
We always called it kefir when I was a kid, but that was before the existence of gogurt so we had no choice. I have a mercurial relationship with Kefir. Sometimes it seems delicious, other times it is just disgusting.
Keifer Sutherland needs to market his own line of "Sutherland Kefir."
I haven't listened to the podcast yet, so sorry if you guys already made that joke. -
I had probiotic kefir to recover my microorganisms after my recent bout with antibiotics and the kefir gave me the runs. :(
-
I had a bug assigned to me today with an attached image titled "NoPie.jpg". Never before has a filename made me so sad.

Terrible confession: I'm not a fan of tacos.
-
-
I want tacos RIGHT NOW. THIS INSTANT.
-
Tacos are not a good food. We have the buritto, the taco should have died out hundreds of years ago.
-
Pizza just arrived and I don't even want it now, because I've been reminded that tacos exist and are amazing.
-
HOW DARE YOU COMPARE TACOS TO PIZZA! Tacos aren't even fit to be in the same sentace as the miracle to the world that is pizza.
I demand satisfaction for your insult. -
Knin: consider a fecal transplant.

Have you been to a proper taqueria?
Is that like a Pizzaria? Because it's 2:42am and now I want Tacos. Damn you. -
More or less, yeah. A place what sells only the tacos (or whose specialty is tacos, at least). I would be hungry for them if I had not just had a cherimoya and some cheese bread. And coming up: feijoada! I'm going to weigh six hundred pounds =(

-
I have a question - what purpose does the podcast-ending clap actually serve? I assume it's used for syncing two recordings up, but is there a reason it almost never lines up perfectly when you put them together?
-
AAAAAAARGH what is up with double posts?
-
I think the double posts are fake. If you come back after a moment the extra post seems to be gone.
-
Well then fine. That comes off as incredibly awkward then.
Yes the clapping is for syncing. Doesn't need to be perfectly timed, it's just a reference point. As long as it's close enough you're good. -
The clap doesn't line up because of skype lag or just poor timing on our part. It's just nice to have a big audio spike so you can tell where to position the tracks.
Also, I have never seen this double post thing that people are talking about, only people complaining about double posts where there are no double posts.
If anything, it's probably because vanilla has an autorefresh now so it's probably autorefreshing when it sees your post, thus making a phantom post. -
Dude, I've done that granola/yogurt combination many a time. It feels sinful.
-
Well this show made me hungry, and the thread steers me towards tacos. Which are DELICIOUS. Come on, who can really hate tacos?
As for my uppercut question, seeing as how it somehow led to referencing sexual healing and UFC fighters kissing each other, its lack of context was for the best. -

Ever had that muesli stuff mixed in with yogurt? It's so damn good. -

Hey, Dave if you're going down this not-really-MMO path, play some Vindictus! -

I drink a lot of kefir, and whenever it's on the grocery list, my wife pronounces it as "Kiefer." I am 100% sure this is not intentional.
I'm also growing to like Chinese/Korean yogurt based drinks. There's a non-carbonated version and a carbonated version, which are both good. But probably the one that surprised me the most was the yogurt sake/soju booze at the Korean karaoke place. Pretty good stuff. -
As carbonated stuff goes, I'm a fan of Milkis. It's all the bad shit in soda mixed with milk, and I look forward to it shutting down my heart someday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkis
-
It's good, but don't know if it ousts my favorite drink that ends in "is" of all time, Calpis aka Cow Piss.
Also good are those tiny Korean yogurt drink shots with names like "Yogu Time" or my favorite, "Yogu Farm." If they made those in servings larger than 2 oz. I would buy so many. -
Also Dave, where'd you go for lamb? The price differential between lamb at a Western grocery store and a Halal meat place for lamb/goat is pretty huge. I remember my mom would always just go to one of those since a Halal butcher is essentially a lamb/goat specialist, considering its popularity in cuisine in basically every region between Greece and India.
-
We just got it off Fresh Direct because we're incredibly lazy.
Still eatin' that shit. Now I just chop it up with some salsa, cook it in a pan with eggs. Breakfast burritos. -
Spanks: Yes, the yogurt shot packs are awesome! I love that stuff.
Lamb: always go to an ethnic market or a specialty butcher. It can mean the difference between good lamb and horrible mutton. Even sad ol' Columbus has several good choices in this regard. -
Lamb is so good. I feel like it's not as big in America as it should be. Where's the promotion? Where's the multimillion dollar ad campaign? Where are the celebrities with a mouthful of lamb who look at the camera with a panicked expression as a caption reads "Got Mint Jelly?" or vice versa.
-
Americans don't eat lamb (or mutton in general) for the same reason they don't eat dogs and cats--"sheep" are coded as "cute" because when we see them in cartoons they're all fluffy and puffy.
-
I love lamb and living in a Greek neighborhood it's everywhere but yeah RB nailed it.
-
I don't know if I completely agree with that. Yeah, lamb is harder to come by but I feel it's just more an American focus on cows, chickens, and pigs due to availability. Sheep just aren't raised in the same quantity in the states. Saying it's the same reason we don't eat our pets implies that I just need to find the right gyro stand to get some labrador.
-
Sheep are pretty weird looking. Maybe in cartoons they're cute, but IRL they have the crazy eyes.
-
IRL sheep are generally covered in mud and sheep shit, and where they aren't they're covered in spraypaint because that's how herders identify which ones are theirs.
-
I grew up around farms in Michigan when I was a kid. Sheep are not cute in person. They are really pretty dumb, not like horses or dogs or whatever. Pigs actually are pretty smart too, but sheep just kind of stand there. Of the farm animals I liked to be around, dogs were first, of course, but next were horses and then goats. Goats are jerks, don't get me wrong, but they have personality. Sheep and cows just kind of stand there and eat.
-
Yeah, centuries of eating the fiesty ones first (because they're annoying) will tend to breed a placid population.
-
Okay "Wi-Pi" is not something that seems like the name of an actual place, it's more like the kind of place that you'd see on Big Bang Theory to show how Waaaacky Fun the world those guys live in is.
Also, if my wife's experience is anything to go by, you kind of get burned out on sweets pretty quick when it's your job. (plus which buttercream icing is actually kinda gross when you learn that it's basically Crisco with butter flavoring.) -
If you're making buttercream with anything but high-fat butter or lard, you're wrong.
-
Real buttercream is amazing. Fake buttercream is gross
