Dear Salty,

Both my wife and I work very hard and we think we deserve, nay, are entitled to blow off a lot of steam with a nice dinner out with our 14 month-old Instabook tenant.

Yet we get dirty looks (of jealousy?) wherever we go because we find it convenient to change our kid’s nappy at our table. (It’s the good…

The babies are perfect.

I keep maple syrup in the pantry - it’s basically pure sugar, and so long as it’s pure maple syrup, I’m not worried.

Are you my father? Asking because he and I had a years-long feud about where to keep the ketchup. He maintained it didn’t need to be refrigerated, while I felt strongly it should. After he died, though, I moved it to the pantry in his honor.

My uncle produces maple syrup and swears that it should be stored in the cupboard and not the fridge.

I have visions of future historians trying to figure out if the Bock Star was on the same team as the mighty Casey.....

Technically it was three pitchers and a catcher. I would imagine that’s even more rare.

Single off Severino.

Cheese. Hair on it.

I hear you, everything that comes out of Ron Darling’s mouth is counter - intuitive, he sounds exactly like Rudy Guiliani but miraculously dumber. If MLB was smart they’d have a Gulfstream with Eckersley’s name on it standing by so he could do every MLB playoff game.

I was a bit jarred by the pic, but surely she provided it to Avenatti. Anyway, our talking about it just reinforces my certainty that this has all gone beyond what a Senate committee can handle, and it certainly shouldn’t be adjudicated in the media or comments boards. Bring in the freaking FBI already!

Incidentally, you’re not one of these people who thinks a victim has to look all teary and victimized to be believable, right? 

She is an ordinary middle-aged rich mom with a lovely professional resume and she is nobody’s fool and not afraid of lawyers. She knows how to be the boss and how to play, and she’s here to play and walk out like a boss.

I think it’s great. I think it says, “This lady does not scare easy, she already has everything, and you should be very afraid.”

In the late 1960's, I split open my chin at age 3 after falling out of tree onto some ice (because my 5 year old brother jumped on the branch until I fell). As the youngest of 6, my mother had honed her assessment skills on the older sibs. How much of an emergency was it, can it be managed at home? It was winter,…

I’ve had a couple of conversations with men in the last year that basically boil down to me telling them over and over again that it’s not enough that they know that women face harassment and assault. They have to care. It has to bother them enough to take action. And to do that takes empathy, not just feeling it but…

I know this isn’t on topic but I’m upset and just sort of desperate. My coworker found her dogs cornering a kitten in her garage - and i took the kitten on Sunday. She was the sweetest, smallest purr machine. I took her to the vet yesterday and all was good, except that she was underweight for being 5 weeks. She…

I won’t miss Cooking Light. However, I will pour out a little cognac (down my throat) when Saveur and Food and Wine bite the dust.

I’m fairly certain that anyone who ever read anything by Steinbeck could have guessed this.  

Olivia Colman is dope as hell in everything. She stole the Night Manager from Hiddles and Laurie, which I otherwise wasn’t particularly fond of. Not to mention Peep Show, Broadchurch, HOT FUZZ. She’s so bomb. I can’t wait to see her take this on.
