“God even writing that makes me feel dirty. Whose idea was that episode?”

You know, as a general question it’s not a bad one. The reasons are numerous, sometimes good and sometimes totally bogus.

What is being called “meta commentary” now was just called “audience asides” in theater’s heyday.  That stuff is hundreds of years old.

Tiki drinks are making a roaring comeback, so I can see where “not too sweet” is coming from, even as someone who loves the things.

Haven’t all the “Mommy Needs to Get Shitfaced” blogs ended in the last couple of years with a goodbye video involving the words “sober living” or “AA?”  Or is it my imagination?

“During that time William is celebrating being five years sober, but didn’t he become sober when that judge scared him straight in “The Most Disappointed Man,” which took place circa 1981? So wouldn’t he be celebrating his 24th year being sober? What am I missing here?”

Wrapping a potato is the absolute best way to cook it in the microwave. It gets steamed. Different people swear by different coverings.

I think his obituary has been mistakenly printed a couple of times.  When an actor is announced dead a breakfast, I wait until dinnertime to believe it.

I hated every episode AFTER the soft reboot. That’s the problem, of course. They didn’t add viewers; they replaced them with an equally low number of different viewers. You could say that both groups couldn’t be satisfied at the same time, yet here we are, both fangirling all over The Good Place together. Can’t begin…

I noticed that. Last year she would have done that with a big smile that stopped at her eyes, either because she was hoping to please whomever she was talking to or because her facial muscles were programmed to smile in response to all queries. This whole episode she was much more modulated, and I liked how it…

I’m interested to know how much television he is working in this season, as he’s also acting in iZombie. The man seems to be gunning for genre, which I love:

I don’t remember his identity having an effect on the plot. The main important similarity between Jack Ryan and John Clark is that their actions are values driven, and that they both believe they’re doing what they are doing for their country. The main difference is *what* those values are, and what they think needs…

I seem to recall that Clark’s name was meant to be anonymous, much like the CIA agent in the current Jack Ryan TV series. Ding Chavez, on the other hand, has a name you don’t forget.

You can literally microwave raw eggs to a cooked state in 120 seconds. If you’re going to have horrible microwaved scrambled eggs, you might as well have them cheaper and from scratch.

In her eighties my great grandmother ran off with her high school sweetheart and left a note for her caretaker, “I have eloped.” Best decade of her life.  Never too late.

I like Costco for size and cost, but love it for broth. There is usually a lot of liquid in the bottom. I put what’s left of a chicken carcass back into the container, microwave it for a few seconds, and then pour out whatever’s melted to the bottom into a recipe. It gets poured in the broth for my fast chicken soup,…

Alright?

I dunno, I think he’s … alright.

The Instant Pot theoretically has a slow cooker function, but mine only gets slightly warmer than a summer evening in that mode.  You’re right, nothing beats slow cooking pork on the bone before shredding it.
