Congrats on everything! Making it past 6 weeks is big. There will be more times that thing get rough with the kiddo but you’ll have the coping and delegating skills you figured out in the first 6 weeks.

Noodles all day long. If you’re really in a post-apocalyptic situation, you can use the wrapped packs as building material.

For further illustration, my dog is 25 pounds (ie more than double that child’s size) and she can sit on my lap while I’m typing on my laptop.

Whereas I went to a Catholic middle school in the US that was pretty darn comprehensive in teaching us sex ed. They got around the contraception issue by bringing in an HIV educator who demonstrated condom use and “just happened to” talk about all the other major forms of birth control and their efficacy in preventing…

Have you seen the rest of this dumpster fire of an administration? He was born in the Netherlands, so I’m pretty sure he’s the most qualified of any of Trump’s picks. Low bar, I know.

Someone in my neighborhood has one of these. If I also had an XK-E, I would probably have a glass garage door put in too.

Whenever I buy celery, I just chop the whole thing and toss what I don’t need into the freezer in a ziplock. That way, I have it on hand when needed and it’s one less thing to chop. Celery seems to be about as much work to chop a whole head as a few sticks.

Ohhhhhhh, if you’ll excuse me, I have a shopping cart’s worth of butter to buy.

I was just about to ask what, if anything, could be done with these bits. If they were ever part of butter, they must be tasty somehow...

My school didn’t have a Greek system and I still found friends I’m close with over a decade later. I’m sure you would have found other great friends too. Maybe the same people.

Untitled by D’Angelo isn’t on here and I’d like to know why. That song sent an entire generation into sexual awakening. It is also partially to thank for the conception of my beautiful child.

Many mozzarellas use microbial rennet, which is entirely suitable for vegetarians. In the US, most cheeses use microbial rennet.

Lindy Lou Layman and Tony Buzbee? Is Stan Lee in charge of naming people now?

“Chug large quantities of grape juice to prevent getting the stomach flu because it alters the pH in your intestines.”

I once opened one of those tins at someone’s house and was so confused because it was filled with the cookies pictured on the tin. Those people were fancy.

I also grew up in a household where picky eating wasn’t an option. My parents made a variety of foods and we lived in an area with a wide range of restaurants. That’s what I ate.

You might very well decide to wolf down veggies while pregnant. Things I craved during pregnancy: oranges, melons, black pepper on everything, and broccoli. Junk food didn’t hold a strong appeal. I also tried to hit as many types of cuisines (especially those with strong flavors) because my husband was raised on a…

You are not troglodytes. The info above is incorrect. Until this article, I’d always heard the rule as “don’t salt the food without tasting it first”, which is also a good idea to know how much to add.

That salt thing is BS. It is rude to salt/pepper food without tasting it. Otherwise, people have different preferences and can adjust to their liking. Same with hot sauce. Your hosts put them on the table for exactly that reason.

Just ask Socrates!
