At least it’s homemade mayo. Commercial mayo is foul.

This came in handy. My husband is Cuban and he decided to make tamal en cazuela for dinner. We added this to the mix in addition to heavy cream and it was wonderful.

in 2011, I got the same thing from a Chinese buffet in Houston. I don’t like buffets anyway, and I let him talk me into going. We had almost the same things, but I had fried rice and he didn’t. I was sick for 5 months, and things haven’t been normal since. It didn’t occur to me to sue someone over it because I guess I…

Too little, too late

I’m all for a medium steak, but medium ground beef is revolting to me. I can’t get past the texture. It’s entirely possible to get a well done, flavorful, and juicy burger. A dry, burnt beef patty is a lack of skill, not a failure of the person ordering it.

That sucks. I was able to get 300 on my internet speed and a package of cable channels for $75 / month. They tried hard to sell the triple play package and I made it clear I wasn’t paying for services I didn’t need and they needed to figure it out. I no longer live in a Comcast area, and when they offered me fiber, I…

You can get what you want for the same price and not be forced to get the phone service from Comcast. They do have the flexibility to do that, you just have to be persistent and tell them you will not pay for a service you will never use. Don’t take no for an answer.

I really dislike it when parents force their children to hug or get a hug from someone. If a child doesn’t want to hug me, I respect that, and tell their parents they don’t have to if they don’t want to. As for calling body parts by their proper name, I’m totally in favor of that. My grandmother was horrified by it.…

I like the Pentel RSVP with a medium point. I rarely write anything more than my name these days and it works fine for that. If only the pen could make the signature legible...

It was probably a bunch of pictures. Kittens, puppies, naked woman - the possibilities are endless.

I’m the fun grandparent. When my twin granddaughters were 4 they were taught appropriate words for body parts. It also happened that they loved monkeys. Without too much work, I got them to put together “butt” and “monkey” and then had them walking behind their other grandfather chanting it.... all while at the zoo.…

I had a self checkout monitor come unglued on me because I had put a zucchini and a yellow squash in the same bag. I had planned on scanning them both, but I only wanted one of each and didn’t need two plastic bags. She took it upon herself to berate me about theft while she scanned them for me. I started laughing…

I disabled all those extra features. Mostly because I will never use them, and I want some semblance of privacy. I use Alexa for playing music, getting the weather, and controlling my lights. Never leave anything at the default. Always change the names of the devices, and the default passwords. Don’t broadcast your…

We soak the dried beans over night, then pressure cook them for 30 minutes. Then rinse in cool water and a lot of the skins just rinse away. After that, it’s worth it to go through what’s left and remove the rest.

I live in Phoenix. When I bought this house there was a beautiful green lawn in the back yard. Bit by bit it’s being replaced by low water , native plants like agave and cactus.

It’s long past time for her to leave. The first time someone puts their hands on you in anger absolutely has to be the last.

She wanted 15 minutes of fame and then ended up crying like she was the victim. I notice how she used her phone as a social prop. Paris Hilton used to do it all the time when she didn’t want to pay notice to those around her.

I call it Cuban Crack. I married a Cuban, so when we go to Miami his mother greets me each morning with a cup of it. It makes up for the time difference getting there and fuels me for the day. I like it with minimal sugar and just a drop of cream.

It can be whenever you want. My mothers birthday was late May, so we celebrated both in the middle based on when was best for us.

Order flowers, and make a reservation.
