May I suggest Cook's Illustrated's Soups and Stews? It's life changing if you're into soups. Also, there's a blog I found that is doing a different chicken soup each month for a year.... One Pot, One Knife.

I find that I only roast certain vegetables for soup. Many times it's just too sweet for a soup. Cauliflower is great roasted but any of the orange veggies and it's like pie soup.

And what if they bought the dress? They still get asked. They don't get asked any other thing, not about the acting or their lives, they get asked about how they look and what they are wearing.

Two weeks? I went down for a month two years ago. (Yeah, I got the shot. Yeah it was a bad match for the strain in my city. Yeah, I get the shot ever damned year anyway.)

Do you have a grandmother? Do you know someone who has a grandmother? Do you know anyone who has a child? Do you know someone with asthma? (And since a lot of asthma is so well controlled as to be invisible, you really can't answer that question.) If you know any of these people, you should get the shot because if you…

Every single one of these dads is a better dancer than my dad and my husband... put together. That said, there's nothing cuter than my little girl standing on her daddy's feet as he does the Truly Terrible Dad moves at Starbucks because she loves the song.

My BMF (best mom friend) and I practically coparent. We have husbands, too, but as the primary at-home caregivers, we worked out our parenting strategies together. We met, incidentally, at a nursing mom's D&D playgroup ;)

Because she says "young boys" in her tweet. She MAY be contacting the men's moms, too but that's not in the article.

I dunno. I mean, clearly this is an excellent thing to do with younger boys. But I am leery a little of the fact that this reinforces the trope that most online harassers are boys. I read a study (citation needed!) that said most of the harassment is from adult men, not children.

Canned pineapple, sugar, cheddar cheese, crackers, butter. Baked. Served WARM. It's so much grosser than it sounds. My SIL's favorite side dish from Paula Deen.

Right there with you. I just saw my dress for the first time in fifteen years the other day and I winced, feeling that awfulness coming right back through me.

That's ... a nice fairy tale. My kid has all four of her biograndparents (and two step grandparents) and even if they lived nearby (which they don't) I wouldn't trust her with any of them. Their values are not mine, their parenting methodologies are stuck in the 1970s. (To be honest, more like the 60s... or 50s).

I know it's wrong and in no way condone this course of action, but that photo of Cameron's smug grin makes me feel a deep need to smack a cast iron skillet in his face.

Only if you spend your time advocating for women who are being forced (against their wills) to rack up those costs and your premiums. The ridiculous things that doctors in this country do to pregnant women are... ridiculous. Mine insisted on having my kid's heartbeat monitor three times a week in my third trimester.…

A lot of folks are citing the Puritans and that's certain one part of it. Also, Victorian prudishness took hold here and never let go, at least in part due to the era's burgeoning evangelical movement. But in the end, a lot of sociologists (I so can't find any of the relevant citations now) believe that it had…

I can imagine that most of her belonging were, in fact, destroyed. That's what happened to Thomas Duncan's family's stuff. It was all burned. I can also imagine that, because her entire life has been literally ripped down and burned, and she has barely survived a devastating illness, it's totally within human nature…

Thomas Eric Duncan's family had all their belongings entirely destroyed. Some dudes in hazmat suits took all their things and sanitized them by "incineration."

Solidarity, sister! My I-cups laugh at the store as I walk by.

"Guys try to kick random game." I'm an old and therefore have to puzzle out your strange grammar here, but I'm reading it as a variation on "boys will be boys." Which we all know is not an excuse for anything.

I do this. I am an at-home mom and wear three pair of jeans in heavy rotation. I have linen tank tops I wear all summer, mid-weight sweaters I put on over them in the fall, and long sleeved t-shirts I wear in the winter (with the sweaters on over them).
