I think one reason why the leftovers get so much love is because they are not the main event. The day of can be incredibly stressful: getting the house/apartment company-ready, dealing with difficult personalities and/or combinations of personalities, trying to keep the gathering festive, trying to turn out several…

I’m only two episodes in, but it’s fine! It’s not great subversive animated art or anything, but it’s a fine, if manic (so on brand), 30-minute comedy.

Hell, sometimes you can do this in a regular grocery store! My local supermarket carries Badia, a line of spices, that they stick in the Latin aisle with the Goya, Sazón, etc. and it’s waaaay cheaper than the McCormick, etc. spices in the baking aisle.

Ha! I just got back from grocery shopping and I noticed that my store had waaaaaay more ducks in stock than usual (and located right next to the turkeys and bone-in turkey breast roasts). I was planning on picking up a turkey pot pie from a local joint seeing as I’m doing Thanksgiving for one, but now I’m thinking…

I wouldn’t go so far as to say “pulling a prank on humanity,” but I do think her stuff sounds very much of the moment to me, and therefore not is not stuff I listen to (like 90% of new stuff that I run across). Lizzo and Leon Bridges are like the last new artists I’ve run across and liked consistently enough to buy…

She could pull a Joni Mitchell and do a re-release double album of each, one with a straight-forward re-record and one with updated/reworked versions to reflect her experiences since the original takes. Even just doing a few tracks would be interesting to her fans.

And today in tv shows literally no one has been asking for...

I’m so glad Hermine’s finally getting the recognition she deserves, both for what she serves with her bakes and with her face.

Or Richard Ayoade!

There’s also the very real fear amongst the disability community that if a rich, pretty, famous White woman can get locked into non-consensual conservatorship—particularly by family member with substantiated allegations of abuse—what chance do the rest of us have? By what accounts I’ve seen (I don’t follow this story…

Also, we don’t have her diagnosis, but I find it hard to believe that she doesn’t have periods of stability where she could put (and later review) her legal and financial management provisions into place. She’s an adult, there are plenty of professionals who do this for a living, and her father shouldn’t be involved…

It’s another sketch comedy show on Netflix and only has one season, iirc.

This. I’m over this kind of stuff. Please give me another season of Astronomy Club because that was great.

My family had these! But they were from the Olde English flavor that my mom used for fondue, not the pimento cheese. Also, I’m curious about the equivalence of home made vs. bought

I’ve always been curious about pimento cheese. It’s one of those things I’ve heard referenced by pop culture but never run across in the wild. Thanksgiving is going to be a solo affair this year, and it’s going to be cold, so putting in a supply of this stuff for soup and sandwiches might make me finally give it a…

Oh, just wait. December is still waiting in the wings, undoubtedly waiting to say, “Hold my beer.”

This looks like perfect holiday fluff EXCEPT for James Corden. I don’t know if all the good things going for it are enough to counteract him.

I’m so happy Hermine finally got Star Baker, and glad that Prue acknowledged it was long overdue.

or the support of BLM

Not only is she funny, but she’s charismatic as hell. Just watching her laugh and enjoy something makes me happy.
