On 'Crash': The Most Loathsome Best Picture Of Them All
@Lionel Mandrake That movie was amazing, yet you and I are probably the only people who ever watched it.

On How Did 'Forrest Gump' Ever Beat Out 'Pulp Fiction' For Best Picture?
@Danzig! I'll agree with the assessment that the Academy Awards are a silly popularity contest that have little to do with actual film quality, but I think Quentin Tarantino is just as overrated as Forrest Gump, if not more so. The only redeeming quality of Pulp Fiction is the soundtrack.

On The Sunday Night Facebook Cooking Club
@Frantastic Did Mark Bittman really tell you to cook cabbage rolls without any liquid other than the tomato sauce? Because if they're anything like stuffed grape leaves, the rice will definitely cook inside the leaf, but it needs water, broth, or any other liquid that you would use if the rice weren't all wrapped up.

On What Was Your Weirdest Celebrity Sex Dream?
My most embarrassing is definitely the dream in which Mayor Bloomberg and I were in a long-term, serious relationship. He admitted he was embarrassed to be seen with me because I was too young for him, and I yelled at him that I was the one who should be embarrassed, since I would never want anyone to know I was dating a Republican.
Once I dreamed that Angelina Jolie and I were hiding together in a cupboard, but sadly, nothing happened.

On Perfect Tarte Tatin in 10 Easy Steps
I love the idea of just tossing the apples in without worrying about placing them prissily in concentric circles, but real puff pastry makes this so much better! And it's easy to make, too! (OK, it's not as fast, but most of the time you're just chilling it while watching TV or doing whatever you want, so it's not actually active time.)

On Six British Candies: Which Tastes Best?
@BadUncle I don't like English sweets at all (the chocolate isn't chocolatey enough), but those flavored crisps are amazing. I wish we had them in the US.

@Old Bricks That's what you do with Tim Tams, too! I thought it was only an Australian practice.

On 'Crash': The Most Loathsome Best Picture Of Them All
@NorieY This reminds me of the time I watched Higher Learning as (I think) a 12-year-old. It took a few years to realize that "LOOK RACISM EXISTS" wasn't an insightful commentary on anything at all.
