If only I could get my kids to eat baked mac and cheese. Or my husband to eat any cheese.

I know several people who’ve died of it (including a beloved cousin), and it’s absolutely brutal.

Me, too. In fact, I showed my nine-year-old how to do it last week.

This is what you do traditionally to make pan con tomate — rub the garlic clove onto the bread, then rub a cut tomato on it. Yum.

That’s what happened with our old lawn. One year we had a (rare) drought that killed the grass (I refused on principle to water it). It was replaced by something that I didn’t recognize but was green and soft enough for the kids to play on, and that was fine by me.

Me too! Cobie Smulders, Jake Johnson, Cole Sibus, Adrian Martinez, Tantoo Cardinal ... it had a great cast.

This is exactly what I predict.

Rotisserie chickens are a Godsend. I shred the white meat and use it in all sorts of recipes (adding seasonings as necessary) — tostadas, salads, soups, pastas, tacos. My favorite application is tossing the shredded chicken with couscous, s&p, a touch of red wine vinegar, mint, toasted pistachios, and orange segments.…

That would be hard to explain with Jimmy Jr. and the twins still around, unless they introduce their mother.

I adore 7, and the fact that it is in Ready Player Two might be the one thing that gets me to read it.

When I can get cubanelle peppers in the summer, I make a big batch of recaíto — recipe from Carmen Aboy Valldejuli’s book — and freeze it. I run cubanelles, green peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, and cilantro (I’ve yet to find culantro) in the food processor, and then simmer the results for half an hour in a caldero…

I may or may not be able to eat 10 cups of popcorn all by myself ...

Oh, that’s good. A little more expensive than I want to pay, but I’ll definitely consider it.

It really depends on the tutor and the location; in a neighborhood with lots of high-achieving “tiger parents,” tutors can easily charge $100 or more.

I fully intend to try this, but I need to be sensible about it. I’m a popcorn fiend and I make it several times a week, but consuming a half cup of ghee every couple of days is probably not a good idea.

I’ve said it before: I’d like for Netflix to institute some plan where, for an additional cost not equivalent to the full price, one can add another household; it seems like that might bring in more money in the long run by retaining more watchers. I share my password with my mom because she’s on a fixed income and…

I laughed, so thank you for this!

... I’ve been doing this for over two decades. I hate teflon pans (too high maintenance), so I’ve been using my steel pans instead. I didn’t realize it was a specialized technique!

It definitely got stronger as the show went on, but one of my favorite moments is from episode 2 — when Kermit finally figures out how to get rid of Josh Groban.

I’m excited, and not just for myself; my developmentally-delayed son is REALLY into the Muppets, and I can’t wait to show him this.
