Yeah, people HATE it when you correct them, or try to figure out the motivation for their complaint. I have had people lecture me about so, so many things that they were dead wrong about ("there is no such thing as this kind of mushroom that is sitting on my plate right now") or get offended at further questioning…

People working in food service understand "I have a medical condition aggravated by ____." In my experience, it's the customers who don't understand the difference.

Former vegan-restaurant server here, with similar clientele. The soy thing, while not an allergy, is legit— tempeh is much easier for some people to digest than tofu. Fermentation breaks down some of the more difficult-to-process enzymes.

I've always dreamed about being that old lady- the one the kids always come to for life/love/fashion advice. Only 50 more years to go!

Is it just me, or is Khloe looking better than ever these days? This make-up some femme fatale realness.

AMBER ROSE IS EVERYTHING.

Twitter: Ruining your celebrity crush since 2006!

She looks so different with dark hair! And I don't know what "stan" is, but if it means shipping the hell outta this relationship I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.

Lived in Van 7 years, never ground the grind. #noregrets

That worry isn't misplaced, either, since "natural" doesn't actually mean anything in the U.S. We definitely use too many additives here, as evidenced by the lists you link to. It's gross.

If you're really concerned about it (which, nothing really indicates that you are, I just know waayyy too much on the subject), you…

We had that book! But I actually don't think it was supposed to be for me. My parents tell a story about it ending up with the rest of my books by accident— which I believe, considering how intensely prudish my parents were (are) and how young I was when I found it.

A decade ago? Yeah, no one remembers you. :)

He sounds like the worst, though, and I applaud you for getting the hell out.

WHAT IS THIS MAGIC GIF

If you go back in and are super sweet and tip really well, the waitstaff (if they remember you) will have this conversation:

"How's table 4?"
"She's great! It's weird, because the last time she was here she was with this massive douchecanoe."
"Oh, is that the guy a couple months back that drank all our au jus and then…

Real rennet (from actual animal stomach linings) is relatively expensive and used more often in European and artisanal domestic cheese. Most rennet used on a large scale in the U.S. is either vegetable rennet or grown in a lab— so while corporations don't really give a fig about animals, they do care about the bottom…

You and I are the same age (roughly) and I completely agree. I used to write down phone numbers on the back of my school notebooks and carry quarters for pay phone. I was amazed when the first iPod touch came out— the one with WiFi capabilities but no camera. I couldn't get over that I could check my email on…

Goes around giving Q&As with answers like this:

THANK YOU.

"The light fare, for heaven's sake, includes a pot of chicken liver mousse with cognac ($8)."

This angel-moving process sounds amazing, and your family, delightful. I assume Great Aunt Guilia moved each angel back into place as soon as she got home, and it was also wonderful.

I like your style. 2015- the year of celebrating my birthday once per financial quarter!
