All my work clothes come from Eshakti! I’m short as shit so it’s nice to finally get dresses that are proportioned correctly for me.

Wisconsinite here. I still wonder if there was some fuckery going on with that win. 

Gustavo knows! https://archives.sfweekly.com/foodie/2011/08/17/where-did-crispy-tacos-come-from

And add some cut-up kielbasa! (native Milwaukeean here.)

That’s what I was going to say - peanuts and candy corn is a Pearson’s nut roll! (Or kind of like a Payday, I guess.)

God, I just love Judy Woodruff. She does such great work, and I agree with her!

That too!

I was at Menard’s today; I saw a 5 lb bag of these and shuddered in revulsion. Yeesh.

These are great tips - but especially the one to add any spices to the butter before mixing. That’s a game changer, since so many spices are fat-soluble.

A Takeout colleague would like to assure you all that ordering two drinks with your giant meal isn’t fooling anyone...

I actually really love those large, not-very-thick chocolate chip cookies that clearly have spread a ton and are chewy. The really buttery ones that leave a grease stain on the napkin. I usually replace some of the flour with ground oats (is that technically oat flour?) and I like adding just a few of those Skor bar…

Yeah, I cosign your whole comment - and Beck Bennett did look perfect. I told my husband as we were watching that the makeup team should get an Emmy for that.

Seriously. Also, can we finally dispense with the bullshit notion that Collins is somehow pro-choice? She’s repeatedly voted in ways that weaken women’s rights over their bodies. Fuck her.

See ya in 2020.

If you like cream cheese, try Boursin. I think I heard it described once as “the Velveeta of France.” It’s creamy, herb-y, garlic-y. Yum.

Candy corn and dry-roasted, salted peanuts taste just like a Pearson’s nut roll. Which I have absolutely no problem with, whatsoever. 

I worked at McDonald’s in high school in the mid-90s, and there was a small but dedicated group of people who would always order a double quarter pounder, no ketchup or mustard, extra Mac sauce. It always looked like a perfect burger to me; I never understood why they didn’t offer it on the menu.

That they even characterize her greatness as “hype” is telling beyond measure.
