Ask a woman who doesn't want children how many times someone has trotted out the old, "no one will ever date/marry/love you!" canard. If men didn't want children, childfree women would far more highly sought after as partners.

Absolutely! That's actually my own recipe. The crust has a neutral buttery taste to it (it can go savory or sweet), so the second half of the dough I usually roll out and fill with a layer of raspberries or whatever fruit I have on hand for dessert. Spread a jam on the bottom, layer of berries, bake at 350 for…

I don't have access to the marinade (stupid blown out tired preventing me from getting groceries...), but I have a bottle of whiskey and all those other things! Looks like my kitchen and I have a plan tonight. I just hope there's enough booze left that I can have my very own glass too.

Quiche. I love making quiche for groups because I can turn it vegetarian without trouble and it works great with salad or slaw in the summer, and soup when it's colder.

Can you describe this marinade? I love cooking with whiskey but I only ever do it with baking. I've never marinaded meat in the stuff, but it sounds like heaven.

I'm in your boat exactly, although it's not my friends cautioning my partner against the vasectomy, it's his. And his mother and other relatives. Mostly his mother. Uhg.

I had this assignment in high school. At 14 we watched "Dead Poets Society" and had to write a paper about the suicide. It wasn't about "justifying" it but rather trying to understand it. Why do you think this happened? How do you deconstruct this act? How does this make you feel about the character? About…

Well, it was after all a very small joke.

Am I correct in assuming "Brough" is pronounced like "bro?"

When I hear about people fighting foie gras, I feel like they're going for an "easy win." Banning industrialized poultry farming (which is horrific) is difficult because it's incredibly wide-scale and consumed by the masses for mere pennies a nugget. It's easy to get people up in arms about an issue like foie gras…

Foie gras is an easy target because it's a luxury good, only three farms in the US. The chickens that go into nuggets have truly horrific, short and brutal lives in industrialized farming.

It is a small round glazed donut with a foie gras mousse filling.

Given that the crowd starts to thunder right there, I think people are just mishearing the line. It still sounds like the chorus refrain to me.

Distressingly, it's still the best representation of Catwoman in media for the last 7 years or so. I don't care too much for Nolan's Batman stuff. It's fine, but it's not super interesting to me.

I'd argue against that. Universally, studios have refused to pull from popular comic book stories for their female superheroes. The Catwoman movie is a perfect example. It came on the heels of a popular relaunch of the comic, with a reintroduction story that could easily have been tailored into an origin (since…

It's unfortunate that while comics are very much having A Moment in the popular culture, the corporations that own the intellectual properties seems to have very little initiative to take advantage of it as far as female characters are concerned, and to do it well.

The longer and curlier it is, the more people want to paw you like an afghan hound. Public transit is the worst. I once had a kid (3 years old?) making grabby motions towards my hair while sitting on the bus. I moved to another seat and the parent got all miffed, "she just really likes your hair."

I've heard of people doing it, and when I want to summer camp at 15 all the girls in my bunk did, but I never understood it. It's so uncomfortable! I like my bras, and I'll wear them right up until I get changed for bed, but I'll be damned if I ever sleep in them.

I always wondered about those suits. I love the look of them but I've never known who owned one so I always wondered about the fit on them. They're so classy looking through.

I can't imagine anyone buying a tired mess of laughable sex tips like Cosmo, no matter who is on the cover. A cover will get me to pick up and flip through, but these magazines are like light beer. All filler, no substance, mostly horse piss. Your label is pretty, but I still wouldn't drink it.
