In the winter, I am like a petulant child who does not want to get out of the bathtub.

Yes, and I am not alone by the looks of it :)

I dry off a little in the tub, then I dry each foot before stepping out and let the bath mat do the rest. I have a fluffy bath mat that doesn’t get soggy easily, and I launder the mats maybe every six weeks. We are barefoot in the house, so no shoes in the bathroom either.

Oh man, you’re right. I was thinking of the 2019 one I read about which is off the coast of NZ.

I wasn’t really into the eclipse, then I thought “just go outside and look at it you dummy, it’s a beautiful natural phenomenon, enjoy it.” I watched the NASA live stream and even a video of the total eclipse (I caught the one over Idaho Falls) gave me chills.

I was only going to rely on a pinhole viewer because I…

I’ve had to resort to using TP in hand towel-less bathrooms. Or letting myself out with my forearm and getting a paper towel from the kitchen. Or wiping my hands on my clothes.

When we have parties, I always remove our bath towels, toothbrushes, and a few other personal items from the bathroom. It helps keep make the…

Also anything that is black because of squid ink. Delicious.

I’m a relatively adventurous eater. But I drew the line at eating sago worms fresh off the tree.

I do the same thing- 2-4 seconds and it’s all melty goodness .

If your kids reach age 3 without knowing a friend/relative/neighbour who is black, ensure that they see black and brown skin elsewhere. Read to your young kids from storybooks that aren’t all white characters, for one.

Good thing those bags are pretty small- I can eat the whole lot in one go.

Or you know, who knows what brand it is.

I have nothing to add, except that I am stuffing my face with Trader Joe’s roasted plantain chips while reading this.

Yeah. It seems like the headline was meant to be neutral, but I certainly misinterpreted it as snark because the way headlines like that usually go, they have a negative connotation. I like this headline from billboard.com.

Ooh, elevated. I’ve never thought to add oyster sauce.

Yeah, this really backfired.

I adapted this recipe to my taste. Low and slow simmered goat/oxtail curries are among my favourite dishes.

Not a spice rub, but try these on your chicken wings.
Soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil. I’m an eyeballer, but go easy on the sesame oil. I’d say one part soy sauce, and a third part hoisin sauce, about a half tablespoon of sesame oil. Salt and pepper the wings beforehand. Let marinate for at least a couple hours in…

Equal parts curry powder and paprika, half part allspice, some chili powder to taste, plus salt and pepper. Delish on goat or oxtail.

Curry powder, chili powder, cumin, coriander, some turmeric, and some paprika are also great together.

I am with you on the whole head of roasted garlic. Garlic makes everything better.
