If you both really want to come to MA, it’s going to be ~16 degrees for the next three nights. But no snow! And you’d have to deal with multiple hugely energetic dorky pit bulls but the food and drinks and follow-up breakfast would be worth it.

I’m thinking.. June?

Grains of paradise YES, fennel pollen no. Not a fennel fan. Nothing is more than 8 weeks old, so I’m not really concerned about age at this point.

Dear Alan Henry,

I demand that at the next meet-up, we all be served “Lifehaquiris”.

They must be made in a sous-vide because a microwave is unavailable (Skillet), in a green glass made of something that wasn’t originally made to be used as a glass (LH logo), budget friendly (Two Cents), contain some kind of…

I just want to eat. Which I realize is a lot to ask for at a dinner party.

I love everything about this.

I can handle kitchen stress. I welcome it! But when it comes to people I don’t like and a dog we don’t know I’m basically at Defcon 100000 levels of anxiety, and that level of brain melt results in the eloquence of the left half of a human evolution timeline.

Seriously I’m less anxious about her parents visiting in a…

I’m having company tomorrow against my will AND we (me) are (is) puppy sitting tonight-Sunday. I need the most labor intensive meal as possible for tomorrow night (it’ll be between 3-15 degrees F with the wind outside, probably won’t grill).

In no particular order (everything is vacuum packed and in a freezer with a…

I’ve never seen “whole crushed nutmeg” as an ingredient in anything.

I feel like this would benefit from say, 3/4 C honey and swap out the brandy for 1 C of dry red wine and basically I could have mamajuana ALL THE TIME.

I mean, as an appetizer, sure. Maybe with a little caraway rye? Nummins.

As a dessert though? Outside of Scandinavia, no thank you.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the hubcaps that correspond correctly to each end of the car?

CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHERE YOU GOT THOSE SOCKS

I tried sales when I was (much) younger. I lasted a year, and in that time I found that my honesty had resulted in more sales than the people who tried to force things on those who couldn’t afford/didn’t need them.

Yes! I busted my ass to get where I am and afford the things I have. It kills me to see people throw away money “because they can” on things they won’t use.

Not to say that I don’t understand! I don’t need a $200 coffee machine in my house that I’m only going to use the same setting on every day - I could do that with…

But it’s unusual! AND YOU SAID EVERY UNUSUAL CAKE

An average 1.5 miles a day doesn’t get you to those places and back, and you’re not hauling newborns (no kids yet)/sporting goods over the next 10 years in a Giulia.

Because it stops being about her budget very quickly when you note the stipulations she’s enacted and that the use of the vehicle will be limited to the 50% of the average distance a person WALKS in a day. (20 mi/week = 1.5 per day, average walking distance over 10k steps per day is approx. 5 miles). This is someone…

I guess your saying I’m ignorant

I’ve ranted about it before, but.. GODDESS DRESSING.

That’ll finish your tahini off in about 20 minutes.
