That’s a very average daikon at best. Random fact: daikon 大根 big + root

When I worked there, I had to refund a few people coming from Missouri and Texas who did not expect what they got (and somehow were not concerned at the smell when they walked in to sit down).

Some Greek guy living on Ohio, more accurately (used to work there). EDIT – should’ve scrolled down; someone else beat me to the punch.

The meat and flavors should be #1

I would argue the chiles should be #1, though the protein/umami source at #2 works fine.

I accidentally added a bunch once having thought I was grabbing my oregano spice bottle (they’re identical in shape, size, and color). I refused to throw it out and expected to hate it but, even though it was a lot to my eyes, it was good and wife agreed. That said, we both also like Cincy-style chili.

I had never heard of raisin, but looking at Cookpad… sure enough. I don’t think I’ve ever had it.

A lot of traditionalists might argue tomatoes shouldn’t be in there, but I fully agree – I’ve always joked that it’s an American curry.

Kroger sells the spice powder and it’s always been fine for me (I spent a number of years working for Skyline in every position except salaried management (though I was trained on and did their jobs as well)). It has you adding tomato paste, water, and ground meat. You could just do something other than the meat at that stage. Anything providing umami and fat would probably work fine.

Aster is star (asteroids are star-likes!) but I’m not sure what an aste is and I’m certainly not going to kiss one.

It’s the verb meaning to be wrong, so, contextually, I think the person made the classic l/r switch mistake, saw the reaction, and asked if what they wrote was incorrect.

Of course honey is sugar. My point was that, regardless of the arrangement of molecules, I basically never use any sweetener

Add me to the team that at least almost never adds sugar to any pasta sauce. In very rare occasions, I might add a tiny bit of honey, but I can’t remember the last time I did that.

I didn’t have a car for a few years and the one I had was 2003 (with a slight stint from a similarly-aged car during a couple-month time I had to drive). I now have a car again and I HATE that my heat/air and such are all flat against the panel (not a touch screen, though). I literally can’t adjust anything without looking in my current car. Thankfully, I avoid driving it whenever possible.

LORD vs Lord does hold some distinction in the source material. IIRC LORD is for uses of the divine name whereas the other ones are not. But then you have the whole, El, Elohim, tetragrammaton, god, lord, etc. mess with them probably not historically referring to the same entity to begin with, but that whole book is a mess.

I think “think you that this is some kind of joke” is more grammatically correct (from a prescriptive POV, anyway), but I’ve seen similar sentences as the above before.

Think you this some kind of joke?

(What do you mean you don’t want to sound like an Elizabethan or earlier?!)

You may use it only until you are 15. Alternately, you may choose any 15-year window in your life. Choose wisely.

I would stick with my parents. I also have other citizenship and Japan would require giving up all citizenship to become a Japanese citizen. I would complain that it is bullshit as I do today about Japan’s current citizenship laws.

I maintain US citizenship as the only biological child of my parents in case I need to be there for them due to an emergency or, later, end-of-life care. I cannot move them to Japan nor would they want to.

I keep wanting to buy a 500 or something a bit newer for nostalgia, but that’s hard (a) from Japan where they never really got off the ground and (b) as time goes on they get fewer and more expensive. Not a furry, however.
