I’ve been driving around all winter in a minivan with busted ABS and traction control (we won't even talk about the front bumper and it's numerous zip ties). And this is one of the less-shitty cars I've had! What I'm saying is, I hear ya.

I love this stuff so much. Have you tried the Merry Mash-up Mountain Dew? It's similar but even better.

Rebuttal: Diet Dr Pepper USED to be the correct answer, but it started giving me tremendous heartburn*, so Diet Coke is now the right answer.

My favourite ham “glaze” is to pour a jar of my homemade brandied apple slices over the ham and simmer it in the crockpot on low until it’s heated through. You could probably approximate this by stirring a few tablespoons of brandy, a bit of water, and a bit of brown sugar into a cup or 2 of applesauce and cooking it…

Schindler’s List. I saw it in the theater with my best friend and her parents when it came out. I was 13. It absolutely wrecked me. I had never cried so much at a movie in my life. To this day, 27 years later, having never seen it again, I can clearly picture scenes from it. I tried to watch it with my Husband years…

Just an fyi, here... Taco Bell does NOT use peanut oil. Their website states that they do not use any products containing peanuts, tree nuts, fish, or shell fish. There’s always a possibility of cross contamination during growing/harvesting/processing but they do not use peanuts in any menu items. 

Normally, I love cooking. Always have, even when I was a kid. Recently, though... bah, humbug. What do you mean, you’re hungry again?? Didn’t I just cook, like, last night? Ugh.

While I agree with the thought that there are just far too many options for basically everything, getting rid of flavoured Triscuits would mean no more tzatziki Triscuits, and I don’t know if I can go back to that world.

This reminds me of a treat I used to give my kids... when you get to the end of the jelly jar, pour in about half a jar of milk (or almond milk), cover it, and shake it up good. Stick a straw in it and hand it to whichever kid is hovering around you while you’re trying to make lunch. 

How would one contact the family to express interest in this?

The only reason I find certain parts “gross” is because of the texture. I can’t deal with slimy/squishy parts (big pieces of fat), or softly-crunchy parts (cartilage and the like legit makes me gag). Fortunately, my partner loves that stuff, so I just slide that right on over to him! Otherwise, I’m all for eating…

A friend of mine gave me a deer neck last year, and I popped that sucker in the crock pot with a splash of worcestershire, a couple of sliced onions, and some garlic cloves, and let it simmer for about 10 hours... yum! We ate off that for a couple of days, and I used the leftover broth to boil potatoes in and then made…

I never saw the gummy face, but a few years ago, we bought our boys gummy hands and feet. And I don’t mean small ones, I mean, life-size, fleshy-looking, hands and feet. They didn’t have any particular taste that I recall, just that sort of generically fruity gummy candy flavour, but it was a little disconcerting to…

This would be a cinch for me... I count EVERYTHING as I’m doing it. My steps, stairs, bites of food, holes in a ceiling tile... everything. It’s mostly unconsciously. I'll be spacing out, thinking about something else, and I’ll suddenly catch myself muttering numbers under my breath as I’m walking or whatever.

Does it taste like soap to you? To me, cilantro sprinkled over my food might as well be a big squirt of dishwashing liquid over the whole thing. I will eat almost anything else, but cilantro literally doesn’t even taste like food!

I like to toss together a can of tuna, drained, with a few crumbles of feta cheese, and some chopped up dill pickles. Add a spoonful of mayo, if you like, and eat with crackers or pita bread/chips. Tasty and filling, though I suggest a large glass of water after, due to the saltiness!

My sister does cream cheese and strawberry jelly on matzoh. Surprisingly tasty!

Wrap the kiddo up good and take them outside to play. Fresh air will do both of you good :)

“What we all need to do if we can afford it at all is give to our local food banks—food as well as money. Because we’ve cleared out the stores and people living paycheque-to paycheque will be screwed.”

Oh, wow, I had no idea Johanna Lindsey had passed away until I saw this in the sidebar. I used to find her books on the free paperback exchange table at the library. I started with the old Harlequin romances from the ‘60's and ‘70's, and started grabbing the “bodice rippers” when I was 12 or so. Lindsey was always one…
