You can totally do this in a slow cooker or even a heavy pot in an oven. I’m not sure how long you’d need to cooked them because I wash and then plop them (in shell!) on top of hamin (a stew cooked very slow, low, and long). The good news is, the cooking is so gentle that it is hard to overcook them. Mine get cooked…

Seriously. It isn’t as if they’re going after artists who need publicity. I can’t wrap my head around anyone wanting to deal with that mess.

I remember one year’s student body president because he dated my friend for a while. He was awful as a boyfriend, I don’t remember much of what he was like in student government. 

Yeah, I’m not seeing any adobe there. Maybe on the inside it is filled with many tiny adobe figurines?

And those are the ones assaulting minors. There are the ones who assaulted parishioners, nuns, more junior clergy, and clergy in training. While I find assault of minors especially awful, each one of these involved special abuse of power dynamics and trust. Tear it all down. 

Glass pickle ornaments. I love them for their utter randomness. They might be connected to some historical something but I just find them funny and odd.

Yup. I’ve yet to talk to people who were genuinely into it. I almost wonder if most of the readership consists of people who feel compelled to read it but don’t enjoy it.

I couldn’t read this for long enough for the unfulfilled queer tension to bother me. Just couldn’t get myself into it. These books should have ticked all my boxes and I was just not into it. I felt like I was missing something but when I asked friends and family who’d read it, they all admitted to either quitting or…

Also, it’s amazing the slack people will cut their friends because they haven’t gone so far over the line and objecting to the behavior will lead to too many negative social and/or professional consequences. 

One of the reasons I left being an attorney was other attorneys. At least half of them were horrible. I doubt they started off that way but between law school and practice, it’ll just...happen. 

Exception to this rule: Two of my son’s daycare teachers are Rose and Rosita. They’re amazing with him and the other kids. Don’t know what they’re like outside of work, but I frankly don’t care unless it is truly horrible behavior (like high level felonies type horrible).

They’re marketed as whiskey stones but are fully capable of cooling any number of drinks, such as cocktails, that you would like to drink cold and without extra water. Is this really a surprise?

I do wonder what impact having Jim Beach and Brian May heavily and actively involved in the making of the film had on the final product. On the one hand, they provided a lot more material for the film, such as Brian May tutoring Gwilym Lee to play guitar like him and getting the ok from the other band members. On the…

On the one hand, it seems like she’s got some untreated mental health issues and going through personal shit. On the other hand, she really has it coming. Multiple arrests and she’s still off doing this shit. 

So, apparently, this isn’t the first time she’s done this on the D train...or the second...or the third. She’s already got two criminal cases pending for similar behavior and someone said they’d reported her for assaulting them a day or so prior. 

Not that it is any better, but the baby is wearing tights with shorts. the type of thing you choose when you’re not the one changing diapers and are committed to your kid wearing seasonally-inappropriate clothing.

Or get any helpful sleep for 15 minutes before you’re jerked out of it again.

The Paper Bag Princess. My 16 month old has been obsessed with it for months. Other books have gone in and out of favor, but this one has been evergreen. I like the message as well.

It hasn’t helped him...

Exactly. Also, I must say that I adore your choice of avatar. Joanna Lumley is brilliant.
