That’s so interesting! I have definitely found certain vegetables can ruin soup— eggplant, for example. Sometimes it has to do with the timing: harder veg goes first, the softer stuff goes at the very end. Of course, any reheats will make your zucchini or whatever slimy, but the first batch should be good! I would say…

https://www.hungryharvest.net/ is the only reason I’m part of the 10%. I get a delivery every other week on top of whatever specific fruits and veggies I might have picked up at the grocery store. Trying to use up a big box of surprise veggies has led to my two greatest culinary inventions: random-ass-vegetable soup…

Absolutely two lady-hands. Everyone knows that if you want to depict a man’s hand it has to have a necktie.

Hahaha! So much this. I live very far from my family, so I always got to be the beloved and slightly pitied holiday orphan, who would be lovingly invited to all my best friends’ holiday plans. Their families were lovely and great cooks and had fun traditions— and as a guest, I was never allowed to lift a finger. Then…

Samesies! I don’t want kids in general, but more than anything I don’t want to be the primary caretaker or single mom. You know how some parents don’t let their kids get a dog even if the parents actually like dogs just because it’s guaranteed that the kids won’t be responsible enough to remember to walk and feed the…

When we were dating, whenever I would make myself a tuna sandwich, my now-husband would ask if I could whip one up for him too. He usually made his own meals, and tuna was suspiciously the only thing he’d request from me. Over time I developed a hypothesis and finally asked him flat-out, “Do you not know how to open a…

I’m terrified because my school has a $60k annual tuition. I think the entire stipend would be swallowed up in taxes and then some!

• How strongly attached to turkey are you? I’m more attached to ham.

That’s what I was just thinking. Tuition here is 60 grand, and the stipend is under 30k. So much for the hustlin’ poor kids.

That’s the worst thing I’ve heard today. My whole little family pursues higher education using employer tuition benefits & the tax break on those benefits. Paying 36% after the first $5k is so hard... I can’t imagine not getting that break at all. My goal was to get out of debt and go back for a Ph.D. That just…

Catcalling is very different from actual human interaction. If I walk into a meeting and a man says “good morning” that’s very different than if I’m walking down the street minding my own business and a man hollers good morning at me. You know how they’re different? If I reply ANYTHING to the catcaller he will then…

I just replied the same thing. If I sit like a child it’s because I am the size of a child in an adult-sized world.

Oh no! That’s hilarious and totally going to be me in 10 years! I always sit “curled up kittenlike” on sofas, wherever I may be because I’m 5'2 and my feet never reach the floor, which is super uncomfortable. Definitely not in meetings though— just grin and bear the knee pain until I can crack all the tension out of…

Thanks! I learned something today! I hope your anxiety is under control. I can’t think of anything that would exacerbate anxiety more than sudden loss of consciousness. Maybe that’s just because I live in a bad neighborhood where you gotta keep your wits aboutcha!

Tony Sopranos?

I feel you so much on this... My husband was in denial when we started dating too! I never spoke any of my negative impressions about his parents out of respect for his feelings, but over time, just being loved unconditionally made him realize he’d never been loved, respected, understood, supported—- any positive…

In recent years I have finally started to reclaim my space after dodging people bigger than me in hallways and sidewalks my whole life. It drives my husband bananas to witness. He thinks I’m the rudest person on earth. But whatever! I’m walkin’ heah!

Today Netflix released a new Stephen King adaptation: “1922" that I am DYINNNNGGGG to get home to watch. The weekend should start on Fridays!

Creepy! I guess you should feel safer with a police presence, but... why do you even need it?? LOL. I’ve always been a door locker, but I had a friend in college who only locked her dorm room door when she WASN’T home— like, girl! you’re the most valuable thing in there— forget your stuff, protect yourself! Sure, a…

I would love a feature where you can change the assumed walking speed of Google Maps. Or is that already a thing? Because I definitely don’t walk as fast as it thinks I do, and I often see the bus fly by from a block away. :(
