I had a burger from the Quick fast food chain in the train station in Brussels that knocked me back (they put potato chips and a wonderful magic sauce on it). And they had a wonderful selection of dipping sauces for the fries, my favorite was curry mayo. They also had chocolate filled beignets. It was years ago, but I…

I just copied down this recipe from America’s Test Kitchen’s newest episode! I’m saving it for a “F*ck-It Day” and will make it with the very best cheddar and gruyere I can lay my hands on.

I was a kid then too. Years ago, while searching through the boxes in our garage, I came upon a box my Mom had put aside with some children’s clothes, books for kids, and some civil defense pamphlets (how to prepare for a nuclear attack, etc) it seems so long ago and yet, I remember my parent’s fear during the Cuban…

“Gone With the Wind” was shown with an intermission. So was “Lawrence of Arabia”. 3 hour movies need intermissions.

Add Personal Block List (by Google) extension to Chrome and block the pain away.

Mom would give us vitamin C chewables with every meal. Our humidifier was hot when I was little, cold later. My parents still have it.

I live vicariously through your posts. That last photo...

Yes, yes, yes! Melt the chocolate & peanut butter chips kiddies, it’s haystack time!

• What’s the most expensive piece of equipment in your kitchen? Has it made your life better? Circulon cookware from ages ago. Yes.

Or, bagel toasted on the cut side only, cream cheese and my super smooth strained of all bits cranberry sauce.

My Mom passed away in February with a binder on her desk of all of her passwords. Lots and lots of Post-It notes. She must have registered with hundreds of sites. What made it very difficult is locating sites where she stored her credit card. Make a separate list of those sites.

Um, didn’t Matt’s Doctor wear suspenders?

Holy web gymnastics Batman! That is some powerful search juju.

I just saw the “American Masters” episode on Poe. In it, they mention an essay Poe wrote on writing: “The Philosophy of Composition” (1846). I found a version online-read this aloud:

My error, I wasn’t specific enough. When I search using the search field at the top, the default is all of Amazon Video, unless I use the drop down to select Prime only. In my happy place, I would be able to make that the default without all the variables.

I’ve never subscribed to Netflix for more than a month at a time. Usually in December to include my 10 day work break between Christmas & New Years Day. A reminder in my calendar takes care of the cancelling. Last time, I got a free month, maybe because it had been more than a year since I used the service.

I am very grateful for the time you took to share with us. It gave me a lot to think about. Thank you, really.

Having grown up in a kosher home, I can tell you kosher meat will cost you an arm and a leg (or a wing and a drumstick). It is really delicious, but hard on the pocketbook.

Very serious. I’ve tried for years to learn the right words to tell people that their opinion is wrong and I have the facts to back it up. But I just haven’t been able to master that skill.

Oh wise and venerable one, share the knowledge with those who would learn at your feet. (Pretty please?) And will it work regardless of my age or gender?
