She left the series late last year, after facing allegations of assault from her current boyfriend.

I would love to do a rare bit of cooking this week, but I haven’t used the oven much and I don’t trust it. I’m going to pick up an oven thermometer from Amazon. Do I have to spend a lot of money for something simple?

I’m an old, but as best as I can guess “cultural appropriation” is akin to “Columbusing” where you find something other people are doing and act like it’s your own discovery. On the other hand, finding something another cultural group does and enjoying it doesn’t qualify so long as you don’t try to take ownership of…

I don’t know if I’m weird or not, but I have two “modes” concerning eating around other people.  if it’s a group meal and we’re all eating, no problem.  If I’m off eating by myself, and you decide to come by and strike up a conversation I feel extraordinarily uncomfortable and desperately wish you would leave. 

First language indeed.

One of my favorite things to do when hosting friends is to prepare the foods I ate growing up so I can expose them to my culture (Middle Eastern on one side, Latino on the other). And I’m deeply touched when friends do likewise. Cooking is indeed a first language, one everyone who enjoys good food and company can…

Are they protesting themselves?  That would indeed be very French.

I am extremely confused, and this article does not clarify. Did the board resign in protest of the nominations? Or did the board make all those nominations, and then resign to escape the inevitable backlash and firing, as a final fuck-you to the French film community?

Looks, just because he admitted publicly to raping a woman doesn’t mean he’s a rapist.

I feel like the film/entertainment business threw Weinstein out (after 30 years of mounting evidence they all knew about at the time) and are now like “Well, that’s that! No more problems in our industry!” and have let the other predators like Polanski just slither on.

if that had anything whatsoever to do with this particular subject, then sure. We are not doing so great with our muslim community. Then again not a lot of countries really are. At least our borders aren’t closed to them.

But that has nothing to do with the subject. I wasn’t saying France would be perfect if we sorted…

Give us a bit more time.
France is hard to move around, we are set in our ways, good or bad. But we’re getting there on this shitty topic.
He’s not gonna go to prison because sadly in this case, we don’t extradite our citizens, but he’ll end his life a pariah, I’m sure of it.

A few more time, a few more powerful old…

France, can we talk?

When I first saw Smoky Cokey I thought you were referring to the Coca Cola mixer types. Of which the Smoky and the Woody go really well with whisky.

It’s not something I would have considered, but it’s honestly fantastic.

Lagavulin and Oban are both owned by Diageo. While they’re competitors, they’re more like brothers? (Diageo also owns Talisker and Singleton)

I think you meant for PEAT’s sake!

The fact that they even sell Lagavulin in the town of a “competitor” distillery over four hours away leads me to believe the only competitiveness in these companies lies in us, the consumer.

we asked Gunn to order a round at a bar in the small Scottish town of Oban.

Nick Offerman apporves.
