Apparently that other dominatrix was Melissa Cheng. She says she’s being scapegoated (thrown in jail and had her stuff seized) and has set up a gofundme for “lawyer fees and med leave.”

I love Philly cheesesteaks. Alas, getting a good cheesesteak in Texas is such an uphill battle that I resigned myself to making them at home even before the pandemic.
Besides, at home I can dress it up and no one looks at me like I just defaced the Liberty Bell.

I have no dog in fights over how people like their food. Other than that yellow mustard isn’t mustard.

Some yellow mustard is. It just has turmeric in it.
The American stuff is kind of yellow ketchup though. Sugar and vinegar.

the way i get a good philly cheesesteak in texas is to make it myself. i had friend from pennsylvania when i went to college in the 80s. he had gotten his bachelor’s degree at slippery rock and was getting his mfa at the university i was attending. He taught me how to make them. my recipe has become slightly more elaborate than the original but he’d recognize the final product if he saw it.
i start with a thick slab of ribeye which i put in the freezer until it is really firm. then i get out my mandolin and slice the ribeye thinly. i take the sliced steak and fry it until it’s just brown. it makes for a hell of a sandwich.

I’d heard good and bad reviews of Taste of Philly cheesesteak places around the country. Most of the negatives are about the bread and extras (like the peppers mentioned above). Any DIY solution has to be better than what they served us on “Cheesesteak Day” in my high school cafeteria. They used hot dog rolls, with a single slice of unchopped meat that looked like a Steak-umm, and a slice of American cheese set on top of that. 
We could’ve found a better cheesesteak at any pizza place in town, or made the 30-minute drive into Philly if necessary. That incident is still a winner when we reminisce with other SJ grads about which school had the worst food, though.
