Seriously. I have never been able to make a loaf of bread that I would serve to another person. I eat my underproved loafs myself of course, but I don’t quite know what I’m doing wrong. I don’t know if I am not kneading enough or if I need better flour or what!

We had a very popular Halloween parade in the next town, so I stopped trick or treating when I had to march in the parade every year with my marching band. So 7th grade was the last one for me. The parade was always fun, but I distinctly remember huddling around some diesel generator lights for warmth before we…
Warm fruit pie a la mode til I die. I will eat cold pie, of course, but I agree that the crust suffers, especially the bottom crust, when it cools. Give me that melty vanilla ice cream and all the gooey fruit goodness. Excuse me, I think I need to hit the grocery store on the way home for some ingredients.
Can confirm. Every single dealership I dealt with in person treated me like I had no clue the last time I was shopping for a car. One in particular made me so mad. I started off nicely when they wanted to show me a full-sized SUV that was fifteen grand over my budget when I had said very clearly that I was looking at…
A) I’m very glad you’re not dead. B) This looks like the cutest little trailer and I can’t wait to see it when you’re all done.
A friend and I were discussing our preferred sparkling water brands. He was about Perrier and Pellegrino. I was about Bubly. I laughed and told him, you like the bubbles, and I like the flavor!
When I was looking for a new job, I decided to let my lease expire and stay at home for a while to save up for moving expenses. It was 70 miles door to door through the middle of nowhere country roads, so it was about an hour commute.
This is a bad take, drive thru haters. I’m a librarian, and I can tell you that there’s still a big digital divide, especially in small towns. Here in my moderately sized capital city, only about 70% of people have access to the internet at home, leaving a lot of people without options for ordering food.
Congrats, Marnie!!! You did a great job, Kevin, and I can’t wait to see what you do next! Peace and hot dogs, sir.
I completely understand. GBBS can consume one’s life like I consume cake. Haha.
Wow, y’all. The comments are far more vitriolic than they usually are. Thanks for the read, Bradley. Keep on writing for those of us who appreciate you.
Did anyone else notice Henry wearing that shiny spider web pin for Helena? It was glorious. Also, WHY didn’t you mention Henry’s comeback to Paul when he was accused of not making his own jam. “The CHEEK!”
This is clear Jimmy Johns erasure. The founder may be a piece of garbage, but every Jimmy Johns bathroom I have had occasion to use, thinking especially of the one next to our favorite bar in college, was pristine.
My 2008 is still humming. It’s sensible indeed, of course, the first gen had some bugs I wish I would have known about before I bought it, but still. I’d happily upgrade to a newer version in the next few years.
Love to you and your family. A heartbreaking read, but a great one.
Mine was just a 15 passenger van packed with children, as I chaperoned a trip to Holiday World. All was well, until we packed up all the kids from the 100+ degree sun, cranked the air and got on the road. It turns out that when you cool down children too quickly and put them in a moving vehicle, it can make them…
Exactly. It’s got to be a massive systemic change to change some of this, or at least drastically reduce it. That’s not to say that making choices on a small scale doesn’t also help. Do your bit and yell at the politicians and CEOs to do theirs too. (Hopefully, they’ll do 100000000x yours.)
Yes, but I do think that it’s part of a larger discussion. Our individual choices writ large would make an impact on how much meat is raised, how much plastic is produced and thrown away, how many car emissions there are, etc. And I think we should strive for these things.
I hadn’t been home for a while, my parents have been coming to visit me instead, so when I got there, my dad had made my favorite meal from childhood, which was just an egg noodle and smoked sausage casserole with cheesy bechemel sauce. It was gloopy. It was bad for me. It was freaking delicious.
