According to a reverse image search these appear to be from the Moon Cutlery collection by a brand called Horne:

They look pretty nice, so good find!

Are you dating women in the 60s? Cooking is an incredibly popular skill and hobby these days.

Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.

Basically AoE2 with a Star Wars skin and a few new unit/building types. I must have put thousands of hours into this game in my lifetime and I still play it occasionally.

Meat.

They most definitely do, they use a clamshell flat top that cooks both sides at once.

Which fast food places are not using a flat top for burgers? Just Burger King?

Also ymmv because my local McDonald’s always has a functioning ice cream machine!

Ice cream has to be at least 10% butterfat and 20% milk solids according to the FDA.

DQ soft serve is 5% butterfat so would not legally qualify as ice cream, though it would qualify as low fat ice cream.

I do believe that most soft serve is a similar fat percentage, and also has much more air per volume than traditional ice cream.

Also, I must say as an ice cream aficionado, I do love me some soft serve and I would never disparage it by calling it “not real ice cream.”

Definitely depends where you are. Lots of big cities, regions, or states will tend to identify as from those places first. Here in Chicago people generally identify as Chicagoan and you’ll see many more Chicago flags than American flags. But that’s also in part because our flag is the best flag ever.

Ohhh, POOP!

And yes, I know the solution would be “cook at home!” But that also wastes a lot of freshwater from dish washing

I don’t think this is a good point. Just by living you’re going to be using resources of some kind, it’s simply unavoidable. I would worry less about trying to consume zero resources and more about particularly harmful things, like single-use plastics. Especially since fresh water is not an issue in some places, like where I am.

Honestly, if you’re going to a table service restaurant, it might be even better than eating at home. You’re not going to get much plastic waste from single use items like you would with fast food, and because of the scale of the operation I could believe that restaurants are creating less waste per meal than individuals cooking at home. Think of a case of chicken breast versus individually packaged ones and the amount of plastic each uses, for example.

Life’s too short to fight about arbitrary rules of food combinations my dude. Za and let za I always say.

Whatever you want on food belongs on food!

Really great video game channel with unique content. He played all the same games I did growing up so it’s really nostalgic for me as well.

The “unremarkable and odd places” series makes me feel some kinda way. And check out the huge back catalogue of his glitch show Eggbusters.

Cheeseburgers

But they’re performers, performing is their job.

Yes! Looking for one for my office, it’s really gonna tie the room together.

Going to the UK for 10 days in October, very excited for that.

London, Salisbury/Stonehenge, and Liverpool. 10 days total. I’ve always been a bit of an Anglophile, a big history nerd, and a huge Beatles fan. I can’t wait!

Going to the UK in October, looking forward to it!
