Done that once, do not recommend. I forget exactly what I was frying (except for my fingers), but flipping it by hand was very nearly a very bad idea.

Making cherry yogurt by combining plain yogurt with grenadine syrup does not work as well as I had hoped it would

I can confirm that the Arrested Development Special* is not great on its own, but entirely tolerable on naan or some other delicious form of bread.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

grenadine

Probably because this means "pomegranate"

Modern grenadine is closer to cherry. (And apparently even closer still to a mix of corn syrup, red dye #40, and the plaxebo effect)

^. It's just reddish cornsugarwater in my experience.

Except for some really old-fashiony stuff I've used once.

Several popular brands are as you describe, but a number of suppliers still sell proper grenadine syrup made from pomegranate juice. So I wouldn't say you're describing 'modern grenadine' just 'cheap imitation grenadine'

I made some chili loosely based on Max's chili! It is significantly less spicy, and I scaled the recipe down slightly because I don't have a huge pot. Also mushrooms, because I've decided I like adding mushrooms to everything. Also cooking with beer!

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
Half a pound of mushrooms, chopped
Half a sweet/yellow onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
One 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
Two small cans of tomato paste (8oz I think?)
Two 15.5 ounce cans of mild chili beans
12oz dark beer
Salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin to taste

It turned out really well. Next time I think I'm going to double the amount of onion, garlic, and mushrooms. And maybe I'll stick in another vegetable or vegetable-like thing. Lentils maybe? I'll probably need a bigger pot.

Instructions:
First I chopped the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. I then sauteed the onions in the bottom of the chili pot in a bit of olive oil while I simultaneously browned the ground beef in a skillet. When the onions got aromatic I added the garlic and continued to saute, and when the garlic got aromatic I added the mushrooms and cooked them for a minute or two.


By that time the ground beef was done, so I threw it in and mixed everything together.


I then added the tomato sauce and tomato paste. I had the great idea to use a beer (okay I read it online) so I rinsed the tomato sauce/paste cans out with beer instead of water and added that to the chili. Then came the chili beans.

After all that stuff was mixed together I started adding spices. I put in a lot of each of them, though I didn't measure how much exactly. I simmered it for a little over half an hour, stirring frequently and periodically tasting it and adding more spices until I got to the right amount.

Those look like some nice momos there.

Also, is that a bowl of avacado seeds?
