Based on this and your responses to the kitty post, you should re-start Shade Court.

No, he does not. The Manchester bombing didn’t happen to him, it didn’t happen in his hometown, and he had zero relationship to it until he started dating Ariana Grande. That’s just stupid. 

Dude, I feel bad about sending my kid to school with sniffles. If I ignored a staph infection and it resulted in a week-long hospitalization, I’d never forgive myself. 

It is crazy how well this works. There is always baby powder in our beach bag. 

I got married because I didn’t want my parents to make medical decisions for me and we could share medical insurance. 

Yes, well, I have other things to do besides bake, so I am fine with a teaspoon of sugar so making bread is not an all day affair. 1/8 of a teaspoon of some variety of sucrose per serving of bread is not enough to worry about.

From the Chinese carryout next door. It’s the best when you’re a little tipsy. 

And they take 12 hours or more to rise. A teaspoon of sugar/honey/agave/maple syrup/molasses jump starts the yeast and is not a significant amount of sugar on a per serving basis.

My local Goodwill has at least a dozen bread machines at any given time, none priced for more than $8. 

Noosa yogurt containers are the perfect size to freeze chicken stock in. It’s the perfect amount for a sauce, and you can freeze half a dozen, turn the resulting thin, flat pucks out into a ziploc bag and then wash and reuse the containers again. Bonus: the shape means the stock thaws really fast.

You should listen to the podcast (West Wing Weekly), if you haven’t. It’s really great. 

We were at that game and we ended up leaving in the 12th and watching the rest while eating Chinese food at a bar. No regrets. 

What a sad week here at Jez. I am glad you guys are at least getting a not-terrible buyout, but dang, I’ll miss reading your writing. 

because it’s fucking difficult to get a job in media and even more so if you’re a woman wanting to work in sports.

Jolie, you’re back. Hooray! I have followed you from Jez to Deadspin and now here. I am glad to read you again!

Hydrogen peroxide. Pour it on--don’t dab. Let it foam up and then if the blood is still there, do it again. Then wash. 

My 10 y. o. daughter just traveled to see family as an unaccompanied minor. The fee was $50 each way, and they took great care of her. You can only put an UM on certain flights, though—they normally fly on the first outbound to their destination of the day, so if flight delays happen, they won’t get stuck in a…

It’s a 4 hour drive, if traffic is tolerable. It’s nuts. 

My dad started his career as an insurance adjuster and he still talks about going to deliver life insurance payouts to parents whose kids died from falling off their bike and hitting their heads, or in a minor car accident, or got hit by a car, or falling off playground equipment. That’s always his answer when people…
