Linguistic tidbit on 'bành mi': it appears to come from the French 'pain de mie' (white bread). So even the name comes from the colonial period.

Active shooter hoax on campus today. Less than a week before exams.

On the good side, police didn't injure anyone in responding (sadly, in these situations), our response was very well-coordinated, and we got the all-clear in a little over an hour.

If I ever realise my dream of opening a restaurant dedicated to traditional Midwestern food I will promote it as "EuroAmerican fusion".

fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak cuisines stronger

EDIT: no seriously though I love fusion restaurants

Thankfully this buzzword "fusion" doesn't seem to be much of a thing here, but every second restaurant aggressively uses the English word "bowl" as if it's really fucking cool.

I remember fusion cooking being the hot trend here in Germany about 10 years ago. There still are fusion restaurants or places that call themselves that way, but my impression is that the hype has passed.

I actively don't care what a restaurant calls itself, as long as the food is good. I'm not particularly fancy when it comes to food, I'm afraid. If it's tasty, I'm happy to eat it, and I enjoy eating from a variety of cuisines. If such a restaurant calls itself "fusion", neat-o. If it doesn't, that's fine too. It'd be a tragedy for me to miss out on good food because I don't like the words a restaurant uses to describe itself.

Chicago's annual celebration of Green Vomit Day falls on a Saturday this year. My friends want me to go out drinking with them but I'd rather be stabbed.
