We keep butter on the counter (in Portland, OR) but we store it in one of those two-piece "French butter dishes" or crocks.

While we're giving sartorial advice: you may be interning for an apparel, accessories, or footwear brand. Nobody expects you to dress head to toe in the brand, but if you show up on the first day wearing the major competitor, you are fucked. Just ask the Nike intern who showed up wearing a pair of Adidas on his first…

My elderly dad has a lot of trouble with hitting the target. He now lives in a retirement home but I stayed with him for a few months last year and the overpowering pee smell in the powder room made me crazy.

I wash my bras after every wearing. I would not feel right about getting out of the shower and putting on a bra that wasn't clean. I just couldn't do it.

Well, this one is a classic beauty of course.

I was born and raised in Maryland and have eaten probably hundreds of crab cakes in my life, always either fried or broiled. I've never had one that was baked in an oven and I confess I am intrigued. The recipe itself (ingredients) sounds very good.

I recently bought a curling iron without a clamp and found that I could absolutely not use it without burning my fingers repeatedly. Maybe if I had longer hair...? I don't know. I can dry my hair with a blow dryer and a round brush, I can use a hot air brush, I can use a curling iron with a clamp, but I absolutely…

No. I'd say "Sorry, no" but I'm not sorry.

Thanks! I've never represented anyone in the NFL so I had no idea how it worked.

Already sold out, dammit.

Has he already hired a new agent? I have worked in the sports business since the 1970s and I would surmise that even before the draft he had a dozen or more other agents blowing smoke up his ass about what they could have done for him. We'll see how this shakes out.

What makes you think they've ever had one?

Uh-oh. I seldom have occasion to pronounce Proenza Schouler but I'm guessing that I'm doing it wrong.

What was wrong with it? I'm perfectly serious. Please say more about why it was bad. Because I loved the color and I thought the lines were lovely. Frumpy is the last word I would have applied to it. Sadly, frumpy is a better word for Melissa McCarthy's dress.

I agree about Melissa McCarthy's looks, but I love Adele's dresses. They are so elegant and glam. They go really well with her old-school glam hair and makeup.

I would totally wear a lot of that stuff if I were skinny enough and my lifestyle permitted it. That purple velvet dress is amazing and the carpet bag is fabulous.

Up, up with people! You meet 'em wherever you go!

As a Ravens fan, I invite you to hop up on our little bandwagon. Football season doesn't HAVE to be over yet.

Thanks for this. I've been an Oriole fan since 1964, and I agree wholeheartedly. Showalter is beginning to give me the good vibe again. Add in the Ravens' trip to the Super Bowl and I'm a pretty happy girl these days.

When I make egg salad I put the eggs through an egg slicer in both directions. Perfect little slivers of egg.
