My partner is from Monterey, and we never seem to be driving through in the right time frame for the Gilroy garlic fest. Someday - SOMEDAY - we will be there and eat all the garlic. 

Oh my gosh, black garlic sounds like an AMAZING veggie Caesar dressing sub. I’m pescatarian, so anchovies are always my buds, but I want black garlic in there, too. 

Homemade pasta is a ritual I rarely indulge in, but when I do, it’s usually with my parents in their downtown highrise, pastamaker clamped to the counter. My father and I wrassle the dough through the machine while my partner and my mother fuss over the ravioli filling. It’s a wonderful group activity, and it always…

In Cap Hill, it seemed like everyone grabbed what they didn’t want to go back out for if they didn’t have to, instead of what might sustain them for a longer period of time. It made complete sense. 

I frequent the store in the shot with the avocados, and honestly? I was really only in there to get an avocado, anyway.

You posted a picture of a grocery store in Seattle before you actually talk about it, which I only know because it’s the one I frequent

Corn flakes were supposed to prevent masturbation. 

I really love the Cereal podcast for stress relief! I don’t really eat breakfast cereal, which in a way makes it even more stress-relieving, because I don’t really care whether or not I’d actually purchase or consume the stuff. I just like both of the voices featured and the soft music. 

Potato leek is pretty much the only thing in this thread that doesn’t make me feel slightly ill, thank you for that

Call it “stew” instead of “soup” and you’ve described what’s in the can

It’s so weird to me that it was well-received at the time! It wasn’t just that he was dating a highschool girl, but the controlling behavior it exhibits and the way he gets upset when she starts to grow up and move on with her life and grow from the child he fetishizes into an adult he can’t control... fuck, it’s…

I just hit the six month anniversary of my wedding, and I cannot imagine complaining about how much work marriage is. Or constantly making showy posts about how perfect life is, either! It’s pretty much the same as the life we were living before the legal documents. Just trying to help each other be our best selves. 

In my education as a film nerd, I knew a lot of people who advocated for his work, even though I always found it creepy. Manhattan was the goddamn proof. Anyone that could watch that movie and not need to scald their own skin off in the shower is incomprehensible to me. 

The single thing I regret about my time working at a prominent US film festival is that I didn’t quit the day I found out we were selling our opening night slot to Amazon and letting them push a Woody Allen film into the slot. I relive the meeting in which I asked, “Are we really opening with a Woody Allen film?” and…

oh HECK i would eat that

I have had partners that whine, “but it just doesn’t feeeel as good” and what I hear every time is “your safety doesn’t matter to my boner.”

I have a small mouth that gets battered pretty easily after a bit of oral (along with sinus issues that can make it a little grody), and I’ve never mastered my manual game. I keep meaning to work on these things, but honestly it’s easier to just go, “okay, time for the part that’s less stressful and makes me less…

I have found that I really like them when they’ve been thoroughly rinsed and baked in the oven. They lose that... taste? That weird canned taste and aggressive texture. It also helps to rub all the skins off. 

I remember that one year, I don’t know if it was for the Star Wars one or just the Space one, but they strapped a goddamn Angry Bird to the fucking Space Needle and it was the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to my city

Ginger is incredible with garlic and sesame oil as a marinade or a sauce base.
