I've always been told that you actually should not bathe most dogs very often. It can dry out their skin and mess with natural mechanisms for keeping the coat healthy/functional. My pup gets about 2 baths a year. He does play in the water in the summer, but I don't think it ever penetrates his coat (Labrador…

I really appreciate what you've said here. I admittedly usually hate sitting at the "girlfriend table". That's because I don't know them well, but also because my female friends are ones I've found through mutual interests. It took me a while, but I'm learning that I don't need to be bosom buddies with every lady in…

Ummm... if i mentioned something important in my life or was trying to make friendly conversation with a stranger and they said "Oh, I'm really not interested in talking about that" I might (most likely) think that they were a jerk. It would take some real charm to swing that one right. I'm not saying all ladies have…

It is. There is something so glorious about the humble decadence of simple food. It's an easy way to pretend I'm fancy. Browned butter popcorn sounds way harder and fancier than it is and it is my mission for people to know how easy it is to treat yourself with easy food.

I store it in the fridge but keep a butter dish on the counter stocked with room temp butter. Sometimes, if it's there too long or it's hot, it starts to smell cheesy, but I haven't died from it yet :p

Browned butter everything! Especially brown butter with crispy sage on pasta, or squash, or popcorn. Want to make the best donut icing in the world? Brown butter! Toss in a pinch of salt and let the accolades rain down upon your buttered offerings.

So did I. It took me way too long to realize it was her tongue and not some Gonzo prosthetic.

I have a weird soft spot for her even though I really do find her kind of obnoxious and ignorant. Everything about her strikes me as someone with talent and passion who has never been allowed to come into her own in a safe way. It makes me sad. I wish she could just have 5 years to herself to develop into a healthy…

It's very disturbing. I think that the mags shitting on her her for possible self-harm scars is even worse. People can take issue with her public persona (I don't like her appropriation and exploitation, for example), but the hate for this lass has gotten ridiculous. My heart kinda hurts for her.

How can you see me in the dark!?

Wut!? That's great!

You can pin whatever you want and follow boards/Pinners whose interests align with yours. For example, I follow a bunch of weird boards on slightly dark fairy tales, nerdy stuff, poetry, and skeletons that would never make it to the popular page on Pinterest. If you stick to the main categories/pages, it can get a bit…

Now I really want to follow you on pinterest

Me and my garlic breath join you in solidarity. The only jarred garlic I like is when I confit or roast garlic and keep it in a jar covered in it's scrumptious oil. Then I eat it all under the cover of darkness. I highly recommended it.

Haha, nono - stay in the sun! Geography is not my strong suit either. It's really close on the border to Italy, if that helps you feel better :)

I think you mean Nice, France? I pronounce lots of words incorrectly too, on account of reading more than talking :)

Encourage her to get quality counseling to help her deal with her loss of a relationship and the miscarriage. A good therapist would be able to tell if she is manic and if something else is going on with your friend. Meanwhile, support your friend, but do not support any destructive behaviour. It is not for you to…

I drank port for the new year too! It was delicious.

I asked my mom to stop calling my boyfriend my hubby (because he isn't my damn husband). Now she calls him "that guy you live with". Not cool, mom!

Truth. It can be made more effective with careful charting of your cycle (like with the Justisse method). I am in a trusting, monogamous LTR and have a lot of problems with hormonal birth control and it is a good option for me, but it's still not 100%. I have one friend who got pregnant while on the pill and another…
