5. September 27, 2022: Pasta with Cabbage and Beans (main dish)
"Zoo Wee Mama! That's-a some-a good-a pasta! This one was taken from Greger's seminal cookbook - the How Not to Diet Cookbook. I've learned that even if a cookbook is utter shit, there will still be one or two recipes that work - with corrections. This is one of those. If you enjoy bland, tasteless crap with unnecessary steps to make it, then by all means, cook up the original. (If you can even find cavolo nero - I had to look it up because I had no idea what it was) Greger is a genius but he aint no cook!"

6. September 11, 2022: Simplest Fennel Soup (main dish)
"Delicious and it doesn't get any easier than this. Why the original recipe sucks. The original recipe is a GREAT example of why I created this site: - The ingredients are way out of order. - It calls for 1.1 pounds of fennel bulb, which is pretty exact, but then for 1 stalk of celery, which is not. - The instructions are shit. - Don't tell me in the recipe to wash my vegetables. That's a given. You're not my mother. You might as well tell me also to be careful with the knife. - Fennel seeds ... why?! Why go to the store to locate fucking fennel seeds when you're putting an entire goddamn fennel bulb in the soup? Will a 1/2 tsp of seeds really make a difference? - Seasoning with salt when you add the veg to the oil. This wrecks the oil. Adding the pepper is OK, but leave the salt until after you've added the (salty) stock or even leave it out and add it at the very end, after pureeing. - Nowhere does the original recipe tell you to reserve the fronds to use as garnish at the end. - Butter and olive oil is unnecessary, just like the seeds. Just use oil. - After saute-ing for 5 minutes, the instructions tell you to then 'sweat' the vegetables for another 10 minutes (without browning mind you - browning is the crime of the century here.) It's almost hilarious. - Cooking the spinach for a minute as directed is unnecessary. Put it in the hot soup and it will wilt in less than a minute. - White pepper? Give me a break. (Note that this field can't yet handle double-quotes)"

7. April 22, 2022: One Pot Sausage and Broccoli Pasta (main dish)
"Not a bad original recipe - almost 5 stars right out of the gate. I'm sure as I refine it, it'll gain that last star. I left the pepper flakes out and put it on the table as an option so everyone could enjoy equally."

9. November 28, 2020: The Perfect Rye Manhattan (dessert, main dish)
"Use Forty Creek whiskey. But if you're lost in a desert and you only have Gibsons or Wiser's, then you can use either of those. If you have anything from Seagram's, kill yourself. And while Martini vermouth is good, Dolin de Chambery is even more delightful if you can obtain it."
