I mean, I followed Claire’s suggestion to sous vide turkey, and have not looked back. I get the whole “pretty turkey centerpiece” aspect of roasting, but why have a dry turkey if you don’t have to? And there’s nothing better than getting all the work done a day early, putting it in the water bath and then having…

I think the one missing item here is focusing on the long game rather than short term, consistency rather than depth at least to start.

Bingo.

Your mouth to god’s ears. But finding teachers/admins who believe that is SO HARD. We’ve had to accept merely accelerated material for the most part. HS is the first time we’ve encountered actual gifted classes, with coursework that seems to be distinct from simple acceleration. 

I get why people like it, it’s sweet and crunchy. It’s just not very healthy. Like other foods like that, eaten in moderation, it’s fine. For myself, I’d rather eat actual dessert rather than eating a dessert-like food like cereal. Like, if I want a candy bar, I’m just going to eat a candy bar. But I’ve found that a…

I mean, Tovah’s been on Broadway her whole life. My guess is that the Lea Michele type is a dime a dozen on Broadway. Feldshuh will still be here when LM fades out, not least because she knows how to be politic with her costars. 

If you want a turkey that has quite a different flavor/texture/moistness than most turkey, you may think about how you want to prepare the turkey.

Cereal is almost always a bad choice. If you can just wean yourself off of it, that’s the best option. It’s expensive for what it is (factory run-off) and it’s dessert with none of the pay-0ff.

Absolutely right. He has kind of a Lars Von Trier affect, ham-fisted misery porn about vulnerable people. I noped out of that a long time ago, but of course it’s a whole thing in indie movies.

They’re both great choices, and since Patel is sort of obviously good to most people, I’m just going to say, Nicholas Holt has low-key been amazing for some time now. His commitment to the part in The Great is one of my favorite things on TV right now. He kind of reminds me of Phoebe Waller Bridge in that they’re both…

I’m not a clinician so I can’t speak to this, but I do have a few friends who work for tech companies that need people to create procedures for reviewing video that may be emotionally problematic for viewers. So they see hours and hours of fucked up violence and abuse. In the effort to protect consumers, they…

I’m also a big fan of making healthy things taste better by looking for new ways to make old foods.

I would add a couple of things, from my POV (YMMV):

A few things as far as what you mentioned:

It’s a show rather than a movie, but the recent WWW is a great pseudo lesbian kdrama available on Netflix.

I haven’t seen the movie, so I can’t speak to it directly, but it’s worth noting that the overwhelming majority of women (like 95 percent) feel relief directly after having an abortion and feel positively about their abortions when asked about them from when it happens to about five years later. (The study I read did…

Right.

It’s been really interesting watching Korean dramas over the last 10 years, as there was a concerted move within the last 2 or so years to begin appealing to Americans.

I think the idea of KCFH is that it’s a slight exaggeration of those hot wife/dope husband shows. The sitcom part of the show is not meant to be an exact replica of King of Queens or whatever, they’re exaggerating the tropes in order to call out the undercurrents in them.

I wonder if soy lecithin powder might work for you?
