Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

On the bright side, I somehow have none of the ingredients for my traditional Sunday brunch, but the other day on "Jeopardy!" I heard about something called a "Dutch Baby" that looked tasty and, upon cursory research, looked fairly simple to make: https://altonbrown.com/recipes/dutch-baby-pancake/

In the process of the research, my brain was jogged about a childhood local restaurant chain in the Twin Cities called Pannekoeken Huis that served what is clearly a variant of a Dutch Baby. Sadly, the last one apparently closed February 2024.
 
The worse thing about having a Lego enterprise is the reviews from people who have clearly not seen TNG.

Gordy?

It would have taken two seconds to Google how to pronounce that.
 
Hobby Lobby is weird. Somehow I found out they're like, the last place on the planet that still sells those little glass cups for votive candles. And like, $4 for 6, so crazy cheap to boot. For various reasons I have a plastic grocery bag full of scented votive candles and once I confirmed that their candle holders would work (big shot glasses from World Market cost $10 for 6 and did NOT work), I came back for another pack. But it was Sunday and apparently they, like Chik-Fil-A, are not open on Sunday. So I came back this week. I was waiting in the checkout line so to kill time I'm looking for the barcode so I can hand it to the checker oriented so she can quickly scan it and I can be on my way. I cannot find the barcode ANYWHERE. There's an old-school yellow price sticker, but no barcode. After looking about 3 times while I'm waiting for the person in front of me, I finally look at the checkout area. There is no barcode reader. The checker looks at the price sticker and 10 keys the amount into the register. WTF. I bitch a lot about the present, but going to a store where the checkers actually key in the items was bizarre. I mean, where do you even find registers that aren't set up for barcodes? Shit, I should've paid for it with a personal check.
