Well, not so much “zooming” as “moving very slowly on 94 for two hours”

Mostly sort of zooming past on the way back from a gig in Detroit

Besides, it’s much easier to make jokes about him being from Chicago.

My favorite part of the Pandemic was attending virtual DJ sets and band performances, grooving out to it all, while still getting to sit on my own couch with snacks.

Same, although when I DO decide to go out I am unreasonably excited about it.
Like in the 90’s I was going out clubbing 3x a week, now it’s like 5x a year, but I enjoy it even more - or at least until I inevitably throw my back out dancing to HEALTH or something.

Dunlop’s book on Hunan cuisine has an “American” recipe based on Peng’a IIRC, and then she attempts to recreate the “source” dish using traditional hunan flavors. Might not be _exactly_ what you’re looking for but it’s pretty cool nonetheless.

That one I knew. I have that record somewhere.

I admit I didn’t do any research on the guy, I just made a glib joke about goth band.

He might also just have been a fan of the late 80’s/early 90’s cowboy-goth-metal band.

That would track. It’s the sort of lame “be a power business guy” advice they’d give, and the only way he’d read an actual magazine would be if he was in it.
Although it conceivably could also have been “Playboy”, “Hustler”, or “Juggs.”

Try Costco instead. We used to buy my mother in law like 40oz bottles of the sauce there. Anything can be Tsoified.

The esteemed food author Fuchsia Dunlop has written about it extensively as well.
TLDR it very much is a melting pot dish. Chinese immigrant chefs adapting hunanese flavors to 1970’s American palates.

Have you seen the documentary about it? “The Search For General Tso?” It’s got a fascinating history!

*a former prison that was too expensive to run even in the early 60’s and could only hold 300 inmates, that has since thrived as a revenue-generating tourist attraction.
It’s more like putting water into a stadium that was built on top of an old reservoir. Might be able to work, but not well.

Oh, man, you haven’t experienced Wallace Shawn until you’ve seen him in 3D.

Isn’t that just “dilbert” now?

I doubt he actually wants to renovate it. He just wants to ship people there and leave them to fight and starve on a cold windy rock.

“Spaghetti westerns, named after my favorite noodle, because in the west they ate spaghetti oh they loved it Chef Boyardee was a friend of mine, a strong man, big man, he used to say Donald, make westerns great again, with spaghetti…”

His whole shtick is basically “a 1981 men’s magazine said this projects power” taken to absurd levels and he’s never kept up to date with it.
The extra long tie, the handshake style, the fixation on IQ, the boasting…it’s all of a type.

He wants to render Nicholas Cage’s finest work utterly meaningless! MEANINGLESS!

I met Patrick Codenys from Front242, and he couldn’t have been nicer. He even complimented my musical production abilities.
