Before nick of time, it was…pudding time?
Replying to @TheATPShow
In 1546, John Heywood's book of proverbs used "pudding time" for arriving right when you were needed…because 16th-century pudding was savory and served first. Arriving at pudding time meant arriving as dinner started. Then pudding moved to the end of the meal and the phrase stopped making sense. The phrase never changed. The world did.

Merriam-Webster has been watching too much Indiana Jones. And this phrase? This phrase is Janice. New Appraise The Phrase “In The Nick Of Time” episode available now.

Before gas, American stoves didn't have burners. They had eyes. Removable lids sitting over a single firebox, with the heat arriving from a distance. Which means cooks were back-burnering constantly — not by choice or preference, but by physics — for about a century before anyone had the words for it. youtu.be/QMXG_5-E5x4?is=Z3jp…

So we're putting it to the professionals. Chefs, line cooks, anybody who's actually run a service: how do you use your front and back burners?

I've done it. Been a long while, but if you put your attention to your goals, and work towards accomplishing them, finding a sex partner is put on the back burner, with the opportunities growing as you succeed in your goals.

do you want to change your life or not? If the answer is yes, commit to it. Put everything else on the back burner. It ain’t no shortcuts, you really gotta do the work.

Tomorrow's phrase has no paper trail, no literary source, and no cosign from Billy Shake(speare). It made it anyway. And we think we found the only gas stove policy slogan with zero pushback across party lines: "Take your ass outside and grill." New episode tomorrow.
