See THAT sounds worthy of real mashed potatoes. If I’m making bog standard gravy (drippings from whatever critter has been roasted/baked, stock, milk, a glug of wine and seasonings - I really use too much wine in my cooking I think. The kid who bags groceries at our store is starting to look at me funny and I keep…

While some folks might have an issue about her sex tape (the only issue I had personally was ‘why the hell didn’t she go after the guy who filmed and released it’s head and put it on a pike outside her home?’ due to some past issues making a partner taking such advantage of someone who loves and trusts them loathsome.…

I’ve always tried to duck the whole ‘prepper’ word, it just makes me itch. Over the years, I’ve boiled it down and far away from the surreal zombie uprising nonsense so many preppers seem to be longing for to instead “Shit Happens So: Do something, Learn Something, Help Something”. For example, I DO keep a pretty well…

If someone wants enjoy potatoes for their potato-ey flavor, there are millions of ways to prepare them - but in this context (I think) when the actual point of said spuds is ‘vehicle to convey gravy to ones mouth because sitting at the table and drinking straight from the gravyboat might be viewed as unacceptable by…

It’s not so much a torches situation, but more a ‘and of all the ways the US intercedes (I swear that spelling looks wrong, but I’ve tried typing it 4 ways and my brain isn’t clicking, if I mucked it up utterly, have pity on a frazzled mind) in criminal behavior by it’s poorly behaving citizens when abroad, why is…

Didn’t actually know the kid (not all that weird, my kids have tails and prefer a good cardboard box where they can drag ~another~ of my sweaters they steal from my closet to curl up into) but Starr from makeup and Markiplier is pretty much my full knowledge of the list. Markiplier is, at least seemingly, one of the…

At this point, I’ll take any and all small silly ways to survive this winter I can get. Barely clinging on to the rope at the moment. I’m effectively at the point that in regards to anything going on in the world that I, personally, can’t make a real visible change right this moment, I’m out. Wrote all the letters,…

The two of you were here the WHOLE time officer, I swear. Whole afternoon, sitting at my picnic table in the backyard, warming feet by the fire and drinking loads of hot apple cider. No way anyone could EVER claim you were in an alley anywhere else.

Might be less a case of ‘come up big in a divorce settlement’ and more ‘oh thank god, she can get out of this mess without feeling like the bad guy because he just went and confessed an emotional affair’. And in some cases, that might be far more valuable. You can earn money in a million ways, getting to offload…

For all his mealy mouth boot-licking, there IS something I can’t help but notice...

So I can start calling myself Dr? COOL! I’ve caught 2 babies and all I ever thought I was allowed to be was ‘cranky bitch who couldn’t believe she was doing this’ and then ‘REALLY cranky bitch who couldn’t believe she was doing this ~again~. (In times of emergency, I’m your gal. I don’t flap, I don’t get hysterical, I…

What is his deal?

We have a rule that you must be 35 to run for president of the country. Maybe it’s time (okay, let’s be honest here, it is WELL past time) to add a maximum. Hell, look what happened with RBG. Mad respect to the woman, but she should have retired years before. Her sudden death left a hole she HAD to know Trump was…

One single simple answer to all of this, in one easy step.

I got lucky. Our place came with a studio outside that I flat out “MINE’D” before the ink was dry on the paperwork. It can be a freezing bolt in the winter to get to it (there is a good reason I keep a studio: slippers, warm pj pants and a massive sweater/robe thingy to change into Mr Rogers style to warm back up…

Totally there with you (although in a differing species form - we have cats. I’m an equal opportunity furrball nut, but since my husband is allergic to dogs, we’re a cat family these days. Granted, that said, I’m damned and determined to find one he can handle because I miss having dogs too). I try and make off with…

I just go with the best of both worlds.

Well. That did it.

I blame fruit baskets for a lot of my now too well established to even try fighting food weirdness. Baskets of weird, exotic or just so much higher quality as to put standard grocery store fare into the dust produce to explore is now why (when we could all still go lazily shopping and take time to ponder, poke and…

Unless making a recipe that requires solid potatoes (jacket, in stew, etc) I am a firm believer, supporter and outright cheerleader of the instant potato! I keep a literal gallon sized, dip mug stays inside for ease of doling out, heavy duty, sealed jug of the stuff on my counter. Empty it almost once a month too.…
