I love a fancy dress party and I also famously do not and have never imbibed. I throw the parties at my house if I’m not in the mood for my friends’ drunken antics or just want a more low stakes night. I also like to feed people, so these are usually dinner parties. I do an annual mid century madness after reading a…

A Nancy Myers kitchen.

The editor of one faction of the Daily Mail used to work for the Middleton family in a comms function and Meghan makes Kate look bad in every regard, so the hypocrisy isn’t an accident.

Foreign nationals with more money than sense in town wanting to experience the ‘American Dream’. Every time we have clients in from China or Russia, they want to try something quintessentially American. We’ve learned to accompany them to these outrageously priced steakhouses bc the pieces of shit who run them use the…

My entire cultural heritage in one story. 

God I am so sick of having to ferret out what fell off the Sysco truck and what is actually ‘homemade’ at restaurants. Do not charge me $10 for a tiny sliver of cheesecake that is covered in hospital cafeteria-grade raspberry flavored corn syrup and 'house-whipped cream' and tell me that's prepared in house. Be honest.

Ok, but the West Taghkanic diner is fabulous. I follow Ruth Reichl on Instagram and she recommended it. I stop there almost every time I go home. 

I got one of these at a library sale when I was 10 and thenI made my Dad track down all of the rest of them for me in the pre-internet days. So. Good.

It's dishwater. I don't understand how people drink it.

Dunkin Donuts. It's not even a close competition. 

Kate, I fucking swear to god, if you’re walking away from Meissen china.... send it to me.

I feel the same way. I have some limited empathy bc she is clearly a victim of the patriarchy as well as a cheerleader. But, then again, most moms are. Which is where my empathy ends. Take a look at any of the comments sections on Jezebel motherhood/marriage/career/body image/life posts and you will find a…

If you're looking for a savory breakfast casserole bake, Chrossy Teigen's second cookbook has an everything bagel one with cream cheese bombs and veggies in it. I made it for Christmas morning breakfast and it was a huge hit with poached eggs on top.

Well. We can close the case on Biggie's murder, I guess it was heart disease that got him. Good job everyone. 

Oottolenghi’s cookbooks are all gorgeous and the recipes are easy to follow and delicious. I follow Half baked Harveat on instagram and her stuff looks amazing. When I get the time, I’m going to try her grilled, goat cheese stuffed, prosciutto-wrapped peaches.

He has been canceled for me since he vocally supported Frank Rich’s daughter in law when she cyber stalked and doxxed an online commenter who didn’t like her terrible book.

How can you not love this? Ballet is such a wonderful art form to expose kids to, really most dance is incredible for them to experience. All of the parents I know shriek about how expensive these performances are. Friend, if you and your husband weren’t each driving a $450/mo car, you might be able to afford culture…

I’m just going to leave this right here:

There were soooooo many missed opportunities this season for the Weissmans- also, why the Beatniks? There were roiling social movements growing and shifting nearly underneath Abe’s feet in 1960. The Beatniks were dumb kids. There’s no way that a man of Abe’s age, intellect, and life experience would take Kerouac…

Eh, they could have sent him off to California like they talked about in the first season. He really isn’t necessary to the story. His cheating isn’t a mystery. Men generally can’t marry ‘up’. Their egos can't handle it. Joel said as much over several episodes.
