Anthony Bourdain

Today I learned that Anthony Bourdain had wrote: 

  "Too lazy to peel fresh? You don't deserve to eat garlic.”

Such an ableist attitude. I can handle it, but somebody who has carpal tunnel syndrome or heaven forbid, a disability might not be able to manage it. So what are they supposed to do? Forgo the joy of using garlic in a dish? I don't think so.

Maybe he would have lived longer if he'd just taken it easy and used minced garlic.

Muppets

The trick to working with Muppets is to pretend they're people. Unfortunately most people can't manage that with regular people.
