Just keep in mind Ray Bradbury’s helpful cooking tip, and baking with parchment will seem less intimidating:

I can see the dressing room stuff, but I don’t know what he thinks goes on at a workplace that he expects not to be asked questions in the hallway. And the reference to his “personal life and enjoyment” is where it really gets silly. It’s work, not your personal life. And the people who work with and for your show are…

I went through this phase where I was constantly baking salmon in parchment with various sauces. Also good, with limited cleanup.

Oooh, you just brought back a vivid memory for me of my college roommate from the rural Midwest who pronounced “toilet” as “tahlet.” It makes my skin crawl even thinking of it now.

Yeah, I’m wondering what dream she’s supposed to be living there. I’ve never once had a dream about giving myself a fungal rash from wearing the world’s least comfortable fabric in front of hundreds of screaming people.

There’s no need to try to hide, Peter. Cast aside that false nose!

In the video it sounds like what he’s actually saying is “we WERE all Catholic.” Which makes more sense.

The last time that smoking in a public bathroom is supposed to seem like “naughty fun” is around high school. After that point it just becomes desperate addict behavior.

Oh, IUD expulsion can happen. But she probably would have felt that happening.

It’s also basically a myth about cranberry juice. It’s a myth, Brad!!

Focus on this instead of what? Instead of a billionaire’s publicity stunt? Instead of the pressing question of whether or not said billionaire intends to run for public office? Instead of this particular family (who was, as it happens, also interviewed by PBS during the election, revealing “pro-Trump Democrat” views…

Using firm plates, the sort of china or ceramic that can be reused rather than tossed, is not superficial at all. It’s sensible and frugal.

Well, they definitely have glassware for at least 20.

I mean, it’s one thing if they simply don’t have permanent dishware. But CLEARLY they do!

hold. up. If you knew you had some kind of special company coming, even if you didn’t know who it was, wouldn’t you go ahead and break out the china that’s SITTING IN THE CABINET RIGHT BEHIND YOU, rather than a bunch of plastic plates?

Oh yeah...I think that wasn’t even a neighbor, it was just a random house in the middle of farm country. I believe it was Robert Downey Jr. who showed up in a neighbor’s house.

It would be interesting to see where her career would have gone if she hadn’t been in the middle of that huge event. It no doubt affected how she was cast for awhile after, but she was always kind of an odd fit as a romantic lead—she has that kind of strange vibrating nervous energy. And the other thing I remember…

Aren’t discrimination, and highly subjective irrational feelings and sensations, kind of inextricable from the dating process?

The conclusion I’m drawing from “the jury couldn’t hear the original sound recording of Gaye’s song” is that they managed to find twelve people who somehow have never heard “Got to Give It Up” at any point in time before the trial. Where are these people?? What have they been doing with their lives??

Yeah, it’s a tricky one mainly because the guy who happens to probably be right in this case is NOT AT ALL the guy you want to root for.
