But this would require going to my local Trader Joe’s, which is so, so crowded all the time.

I was all set to scoff at this article, because I’ve tried all the tricks, but ... resting on the counter instead of the fridge? This might be the game changer, what allows me to finally roll out a proper circlish shape rather than a cracked blob.

My husband keeps telling me I watched The Incredible Hulk. I don’t believe him.

Ask if you are in custody (not quite the same as if you are under arrest). If they say no, leave. If they say yes, invoke your rights. And be explicit and firm! “I want an attorney,” not “do I need an attorney?” or “maybe I should get an attorney.” The latter two will not count.

It’s why I don’t own a deep fryer. If I want some delicious, terribly unhealthy food, I have to go out and buy it.

I remember that article! I admit to being a purist, but that’s because I love traditional tortilla española so much and I was skeptical that could taste as good. This recipe, on the other hand, strikes me as a more of a riff on potato chips and onion dip (which will be my treat this Sunday, since I gave up chips for…

Years of Anakin getting frustrated with the Jedi and increasingly seeking out more dangerous powers would have made more sense, and allowed Obi Wan to go from 34-year-old (in 2005) Ewan McGregor to 63-year-old (in 1977) Alec Guiness. They bungled a lot…

This has been my complaint for years. The prequel trilogy really screwed up the timeline.

I haven’t made risotto in ages, and I really need to. Maybe this Friday ...

So glad the strike was successful! (It was, right?)

Terry’s a teenager; I can absolutely see him not thinking about it enough to realize Batman would hate it.

My husband and I will never not sing this when the phrase comes up.

Embedding didn’t work.

Possibly my most favorite moment:

It is a regional thing, and it drives me nuts.
