Cant believe prince harry is marrying an eighty year old british detective lady … ohhh miss Markle, never mind.

Dude, the key is actually to mix the two, and you get the right mix of dry and wet. Great granny taught me that one. Also, pop it back in the oven for a few minutes bc I don’t trust anything that been inside a bird carcass for that long.

Beloved seasonal classic. Not to get all food snobby, but in my experience, the vast majority of people who dislike Thanksgiving turkey are the ones who don’t know how to cook it properly. Yes it takes a long time to make, this is why we only do it once a year. Not because it’s inferior to other foodstuffs. Brine it,…

I’m going to white friend’s house for Thanksgiving. We’re discussing the menu (I’m bringing dressing, greens, mac & cheese aka Black Thanksgiving). She says “Don’t worry about bringing sweet potatoes, nobody really eats those. I’ll make mashed potatoes instead!!” I said “umm hmm.” I’m bringing god damned sweet…

Dressing makes life worth living. I don’t know what all the other white people are up to, but my white family has always had dressing, not stuffing. And I got Grandma to show me how to make it before the dementia got bad, so now I hold ALL THE POWER!

But I am not sure how she was supposed to react to this if she thought her friend was a good person who couldn’t possibly do this.

Lena is an asshole and it’s annoying that she’s made feminism a part of her brand. She’s the epitome of a white feminist. Lena doesn’t want to embrace women of color or understand intersectionality. Lena just wants to be equal to white men. The rest of us can kick rocks. I’m not surprised she chose not to stand in…

Just before she died, Mark Bittman did an interview with her at her house and cooked with her a bit. What I took away from the video was that if I were a 90-year old with a PhD in biology and a career as one of the most widely-regarded authorities on my native country’s food, I’d probably drink and smoke as much, and…

how about not fucking with a perfect thing and listen to marcella hazan, one of the greatest cooks and authors ever to commit a recipe to paper. unless you’re not using san marzano tomatoes, too, in which case, fuck it, why not just blow the fuck up everything true and beautiful?

I just tried a can of San Marzano tomatoes for the first time last month - I made manicotti, needed some chopped tomatoes, and decided it was a good opportunity to try them. Boy, those are good. I can’t imagine how eye-crossingly amazing they are fresh off the plant with dust and sun still on them.

Or that this particular recipe doesn’t come from a woman whose picture may or may not be included in the dictionary next to “Grandmother, Italian.”

These are two different sauces, imo. Either butter and onion or olive oil and garlic. Butter and onion can be more comfort food-y with something like baked ziti. Olive oil and garlic are more zesty, definitely better for pizza, but otherwise, it’s a matter of what I’m in the mood for.

You forgot “annoying as hell” in your list of things. Also, “overrated” and “overexposed”.

This recipe is from the Smitten Kitchen, my favorite food blog. And Nick is right, it is the most delicious sauce ever—shockingly so. It’s the easiest thing in the world. Here is a description from the horse’s mouth: https://smittenkitchen.com/2010/01/tomato-sauce-with-butter-and-onions/

I think it’s hilarious that a full 40% of the comments on the article are complaining about a lack of “authenticity” because of adding butter. Like food is a static concept and must never change. Or that Italians don’t use butter in their cooking.

I use coconut oil to remove my waterproof mascara (one of L’Oreal’s Voluminous mascaras). And it’s not the expensive, pure coconut oil either...it’s the one you find in the cooking oil aisle. :-D

He’s sexier now than he was 20 years ago. Whatever he’s doing (not me, unfortunately) is really working for him.

“She was just a dear, good friend of mine. And we were always around. And everybody called everybody everything.” Seems like a reasonable explanation!

Maybe the greatest pop singer ever, but Aretha was a mean old bitch way before she ever got old.

And the court should tell her that it appreciates her position and is happy that she seems to have come to terms with her assault and trauma. And then it should continue its pursuit of Polanski, who is a child rapist who spent the last 40 years living in luxury and adoration while having a family of his own and…
