“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…

This will probably be lost in the greys, but...

That is some serious bullshit. As a person whose family currently (again :/) relies on SNAP (food stamps), that is not real food. Real food is fresh fruits and veggies, fresh meats and fish, and decent carbs (brown rice, potatoes), not this crap. I am eternally grateful that I do not live in a food desert, that I have…

I took Zoloft after my 3rd kiddo was born and I had horrible post-partum depression. It worked, in that I no longer lay in bed and cried all day, but after a few months I realized that, while I no longer felt the crushing sadness and hopelessness, I really didn’t feel much of anything at all. Also, sex was about as…

I have tried sooo many recipes for gluten free and dairy free bread over the last 14 years... and gotten soooo many paving bricks or loaves with the consistency (and taste) of styrofoam. The only gf bread I have ever baked that comes out reliably edible is the Bob’s Red Mill Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix. I usually sub …

If you have an Aldi near you, they have a gf/df bread that is not weird, awful, styrofoam-masquerading-as-bread. It’s pretty good toasted and used for pb&j, a BLT, or a salami and mayo sandwich (it is a little bland, so strong flavours are a plus). Also, Daiya frozen pizza is gf/df and not too bad, although they are cr…

Cancer care clinics often have a couple of shelves of donated paperbacks, also. When my husband was doing chemo, we both read a lot because it was hours of sitting. 

Personally, I’d like to see him coated in honey and tied to a giant ant hill. Him and Lyin' Ryan. 

That... that’s beautiful. It truly is. 

I’m the same way. CanNOT stand toothpaste, so I brush with just water and rinse afterwards with mouthwash. For me, it’s the way it foams up in my mouth. It makes me gag, every time. 

My husband still wears Drakkar... 

I couldn’t figure out what I wanted for dinner. After reading this post, I know exactly what I’m making. Yum!

Thank you for this. It’s now my desktop background. 

My youngest son and I watch Bizarre Foods reruns, and on one episode in, I think, Tokyo, there is a mayonnaise restaurant. At this restaurant, they have a mayonnaise milkshake. My son nagged relentlessly about trying a mayo milkshake, and he finally convinced my partner to try making them. Both of them love mayo and…

Well, that just sucked me down the rabbit hole for over an hour...

How are you doing, hon?

Really? Those are the BEST flamin’ hot cheetos, in my opinion! It makes me sad that I can’t really find them anywhere except one store that is waaaay out of my way.

I used to live in subsidized housing, and my former next door neighbour voted for Trump. I can’t even begin to imagine what she was thinking. 

Do you think this would work with a whole boneless pork loin?
