The way you and Joel consistently take one for the team is admirable.

This was such a delightful read, so charming. I love your writing. And I would happily pay good money to see this movie!

I remember shopping with my parents at the food co-op when I was a kid, in the 1970s. Everything from baking supplies to pantry staples to cereal, nuts, and snacks, along with liquid products and peanut butter, was sold in bulk. This was not in a major city, it was in a town of 25000 people; basically, the hippies had…

I used to buy a lot in bulk because I could buy small quantities of something since there are just two of us.

Yeah, so — as above in my response to Allison — not for proper U-Bet, which is Kosher-for-Passover U-Bet.

meanwhile I’m drinking yoo-hoo and I don’t care how that makes me look.

I am, it should be said, an outsider critiquing a Southern California institution many have grown up with,

Stay away from spicy or acidic things, and for the first few days, you probably want bland (so as not to upset the anesthesia-riled tummy) and lukewarm or cool, rather than hot foods. Applesauce, mashed potatoes, oatmeal / cream of wheat, pudding, smoothies and protein drinks, yogurt, ice cream and sorbet, Jello. I…

This article made me laugh out out, and the photos are excellent. It reminds me of when my father gave us one of these years ago. We tried it once, failed, and quietly disposed of it. Our eggs looked much like yours.

You don’t have to shake them because they all get submerged and they thaw a bit faster since they have greater contact with the water and better “convection” of the water…

Then there’s the physics of the bagel and cream cheese as a sandwich. The cream cheese oozes out as soon as you take a bite. If you add other ingredients (lox, onion, etc.) you’re in for a sad time.

As a teenager, the oldest of my sisters had one of those purses you could haul dead bodies in. The two of us were told one day to get out of the house for a few hours as the younger brats had pissed our mother off.

If you have Flash installed, is there any reason to not just use their update/install tool and click the uninstall button? Like I have no problem with Windows Update removing it, it just seems unnecessary.

There has to be a mistake in your recipe. 3 pounds of brown sugar is going to be more than 6 cups. With 3 cups cream, a cup of maple syrup, and 1.5 cups in eggs you are going to be over a half gallon of filling. A 9" pie pan only holds about 4 cups, not counting space taken up by the crust. Even a 9" deep pie pan or…
