My guess is she’s referring to onion, bell pepper, and celery, aka the NOLA base for lots of dishes.
As for the dumbass plural, I’m working hard on not losing my GD mind every time I see paninis, crostinis, and raviolis.
Hey — at least there’s no random apostrophe’s 
I used to work with a guy I accused of buying apostrophes by the boatload. If there was any doubt in Roger’s mind whether an “s” needed an apostrophe, he’d throw one in. It was murder trying to proofread his work! The content of hi’s writing wa’s otherwi’se pretty good and he wa’s a nice guy over all, but all tho’se apo’strophe’s made hi’s writing damn near unreadable!
It’s a possessive world, right?
my book group is reading “the language of food.” the author, dan jurafsky, is a linguist and overall, the book is pretty dense. but, the first chapter, “how to read a menu” explains a lot.
Oh, I think I bought that a long time ago. I can’t remember now if I read it all, but if it’s as dense as you say, probably not 
I guess they used up their allotment of apostrophes last week so they had to do without this week.
“Skool”
Yeah. Very … 90s?
Doesn’t look that bad. Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is one of my favorite things to have for DESSERT!!!
