Pro here. First question re: mushrooms. It helps to think of most fruits and vegetables, but *especially* mushrooms as living things, so you want to let them breathe a little. For this you want a plain old brown paper lunch sack. If you want bonus points, fold a (dry) paper towel and put it the bottom first, then your…

I’m still traumatized from a time in 2007 when I had a Dr Pepper in England. I’m not sure what it was, but it wasn’t Dr Pepper. Sodas here (Mexico) are better across the board. Pro tip: if you can’t find Mexican Fresca, look for Jarritos Toronja. It’s basically the same thing and there’s rarely the mark-up.

Welcome to Mexico! Our sodas are better but our chocolates are worse (except, weirdly, Hershey bars because I think they don’t lipolyze the chocolate so it doesn’t have that sour milk taste that only sells well in the US). Where are you moving?!

I had them pretty regularly for about three years when they first became super popular. The pros are you can wake up, brush your lashes with a spoolie, and look great without makeup. The cons are the maintenance and having to be super careful about what products you use (though I’ve heard they have better adhesives…

As someone who lives here and has friends who have worked at farmacias, be warned, the latisse is probably a different, less effective formulation or a knock-off than the OG one you need an rx for in the states. I’d say odds are about 80% if you got it at a farmacia like Similares or a standalone in a tourist area.…

You’re probably right, but I have a hard time thinking the final wouldn’t be at Azteca. Aside from the historical reasons (two finals already, it’s the only proper Cathedral in North America, etc) there’s the whole question of legal access. Canadians and Americans can come here to Mexico without any visa has but it’s…

Hey now, you’re being considerably unfair. I mean, only a *single* dollop?

Chitlin Circuit? Yes please. Chitlins themselves? No gracias. I can eat them in Latin America when they’re fried outdoors until they’re really crisp, but back in the US? I smelled a bucket of not-yet-cleaned chitlins on my great-aunt’s porch when I was nine and that was enough for me.

I’ll take “Like, You’re My Friend. I Don’t See Color.” for 1000, Alex.

Show of hands who just saw the headline and were surprised when it wasn’t Terrence Howard on the scrolldown.

Bet that James Brown wig looks real cute to O’Reilly now that Auntie Max just snatched his right off.

Okay, it’s not just me then. I graduated HS/started college in 97 and nostalgia is a hell of a drug, so I thought maybe they just sounded better because it was such an exciting time in my life. Also, add Wyclef Jean’s The Carnival (which also came out in 97, RIP Celia Cruz) and you have my freshman year 24/7 playlist.

I call that one Jesus’ Senior Portrait.

The best thing about being fat is not having to worry about guys like Mark.

My grandmother and I don’t agree on anything other than Harry Belafonte and his eternal home on the top of the Would pile.

yeah, but I don’t want a bad car.

This was my exact kitchen growing up, except the wallpaper also had burnt orange AND GLITTER.

Learn how to fight fair and don’t marry someone you can’t see yourself being peaceably divorced to (that one is from a lawyer, the first one is all mine). Also, have a little daily ritual —the simpler the better— where you reconnect and sort of recommit to the team.  For us it’s “Thank you for today.” Every night…

Before I even finished reading your post I was like “WE TOOK CORDEN WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?”

Is there where I can wonder about my man’s highly specific ridiculous dancing? He’s fine, wonderful even, when it’s anything with a Latin-American flavor but the minute I put on some old school soul or R&B —Al Green, Barry White, Marvin— he just...implodes. It’s like he goes from Ricky Martin to Rick Moranis and…
