You have summed up my feelings exactly, and I thank you for that!

Et tu, J. Oliver? On the anti-pumpkin spice bandwagon? It's just food, let it go man!

I've responded over there :)

Ok, found it, and read your exchange. I cosign everything BecauseoftheImplication said in the first post. It is not unreasonable in a monogamous relationship to feel uncomfortable when your partner expresses an interest in someone else, and yet lives under the same roof (for part of the month) with that person. That…

I am an expat on another continent than my home country (American in Europe). If you care to discuss - what's happening? Need any advice?

My dad once told me to "wash the asparagus" and walked away. He came back to find me scrubbing them with a sponge and dish soap. He told that story until the day he died; oh I would love to hear him tell it again!

For the first time in my life, I agree wholeheartedly with Dane Cook. Few things bother me more than when people say, "it can't be done" before even trying.

Came here to say exactly this. There is nothing wrong with pumpkin spice, and there's nothing wrong with not liking it. Just let it fucking exist like every other food choice on the planet.

To this point, are you familiar with "Jerusalem" - the cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi (Israeli) and Sami Tamimi (Palestinian)? It talks about how extremely similar if not identical most of the dishes enjoyed by each group are, and does so in a very matter-of-fact kind of way. The recipes are incredible, to boot.

Wedding planning now - everything is expensive and I'm overwhelmed. ALSO, ALSO - how can I have high wedding attendance for between $5-10k? Do I just not... feed my guests?

Here's some stats: http://www.stopstreetharassment.org/about/what-is-…

This is a geography research question if I've ever seen one. I want to look into this more later, but a quick Google led me to lots of interesting articles, including this meta-one, about how online storytelling about experiences with street harassment can change the way harassment is experienced and framed: http://jil…

I literally did not even notice this. I was too busy wondering why the hand was so poorly drawn.

The proportions on this hand are very odd... even if it is supposed to be a monster, and not a human hand, it is still odd. Where the hell is that pointer finger attached. And that ring finger? It doesn't seem to be part of that hand at all. I feel like she could find a more capable artist than this.

I am not even sure, I guess it is just sort of overly-concerned sounding. Or maybe archaic? I would just say "stoned" or "baked" and leave it at that.

As someone in the wine business, I can tell you that this is not unheard of and very sad. Winemaking seems really glamorous - and it has its glamorous moments, sure - but it's actually really hard physical work and somewhat dangerous. About 20 years ago, a friend of mine's cellar hand died of something similar (jumped…

When he says "earlier this morning," I am assuming he meant around 8 or 9 am, and not 1 or 2 am. Either way, just came here to say - think carefully before you drive the morning after a night of drinking. You may feel "sobered up," but you could be seriously impaired and an enormous danger. An older woman I know…

I need to be honest about this "pizza cake." It is a shameful misuse of pizza ingredients. Imagine how soggy the bread is in between, how not bubbly those internal cheese layers are, how oily and flaccid the pepperoni are, instead of crispy and magnificent. It's just not right to do this to perfectly good…

"High on weed" is such a dubious phrase; also, it will never not be funny when people say that. It's like, "smoking drugs" or "reefer." Just kills me every time.

Avril Lavigne is treating that cupcake like a meet-and-greet fan... not that interested, needs at least a foot of personal space.
