I’ve been a vegetarian for a solid twenty years. What I learned early on, much like religious leanings, is that no one wants to hears about it. They will respect it, make some minor accommodations for me if need be and ask me about my diet if they are curious. If I insist upon telling them every reason they too should…

I had some guests once, and I wanted to take them to a restaurant I liked a lot. One of them asked the host if they used x in their ingredients, and he was like, “......no.” She took him at his word, and ordered some go-to “safe foods.” Midway through the meal she got up and returned a few minutes later, and told us…

I am bad at all the lady things. I spent the majority of middle school running from my best friend’s eyelash curler.

Hey guys, look, the person I love most on this earth! I’m so excited to share something funny real quick before I get puked on because this is my life at the moment.

So that’s what internet trolls look like.

In sixth grade when everything is mortifying, I decided I was going to do something grown up and go to the Halloween dance. I was unusually confident. I was so proud of my costume, having researched and combed through the thrift stores for weeks with my mom’s help to make sure it was as historically accurate as…

Her haul is interesting. I can see lots of recipe possibilities...black bean and sweet potato tacos...eggs with tomato, onion, and jalepeno....roasted corn on the cob...I would also dig around for some coupons for condiments and pair them with a sale, but that take a few weeks to build up enough leftovers to add into…

This looks sloppy and sack-like.

Our hotel room, which we had for 10 straight days, was infested with fleas.

*fancy* sweat shorts!

Those eyes. Gorgeous.
