You’re fucking crazy. Show me a man who makes mirepoix without celery, and I show you a fool.

What’s interesting here is the relentless emphasis on budgeting and penny-saving—a good reminder we’re on the other side of the prosperous 1950s and now a woman’s job is to make that dollar stretch, not to request a bright pink appliance every year.

I recall being about six (around the time this Velvetized Carnation pamphlet came out) and being obsessed with the scenes of domesticity in cookbooks and women’s magazines.

You really, really need to listen to Undisclosed. It’s a bit of a slog sometimes, but if you’re saying Adnan is guilty based on Serial then you are missing 90% of the story.

SOMEONE GET ME ALL OF THESE THINGS THANKS.
