ALL foods are made of chemicals. ALL of them. Make a better argument, or go hang out with Her Royal Goopness instead.

Holla, fellow ninja!

internal groaning when waiters say "broo-shet-uh" or, worse, "brrrrus-shet-uh" ...that's NOT trilled R, for fuck's sake!

FORTE was the word I was thinking of when I made that! Also short-circuited by "cilantro" or "ricotta" as i mention in another comment.

//THIS// I'm fluent in French and Spanish, and conversant in German and Italian, and I took 2 semesters of Japanese. Menus are a minefield of potential pretentiousness. I use your tactic, though!! There's nothing like listening to some Latina/Italian TV chef who speaks perfect English until they say a word like…

not sure what prompted you to reply to a comment that is over a year old, but that was beautiful. thanks.

"Ok, show of hands..." makes me think of that scene from FBDO: "Anyone....? Anyone...?

or, you could just download a free app, and put your phone on a dock? i just downloaded white noise lite. It's very good, and it's got so many options!

but you can also mark it as spam, and it goes in their spam database... which actually works!

not in Los Angeles. My husband was out of work, I was self employed, and the judge made me serve. Lost a lot of money over two weeks.

A gift I gave myself: all new plastic storage containers. All the same size & shape so you will never have to rummage around for a lid to match a container!
