Why the food sticks sometimes.
I’d recommend against using sunflower oil, though. I use tallow, lard, or ghee.
Is Today The Day?
I’m assuming they have clearance from the FAA now.

I don’t think this gun-grabbing monstrosity would make it through the Senate even without the filibuster. It probably can’t even get through the House. There are too many vulnerable Democrats in red states and districts.
