I have a fortune cookie fortune taped up on my monitor stand that says “Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly” and thats my guiding principle at work. 

Atheists can't be moral? Yeah because religious institutions are so fucking pristine.

“Perfect is the enemy of the good” is my personal moral philosophy and what I try to situate my life around. Which is probably why The Good Place (and, related, Schitt’s Creek, because I think they have very similar philosophies about the ability for people to change) is my favorite show to come along in years. (Well,…

I wish more people talked about meat diversity. Instead of just eating beef, chicken and pork on rotation, add in some other stuff. Rabbit, Venison, Oxtail, Octopus, Bison etc. Help the environment, decrease the dependence on factory farming, add some interesting dinner options to your week.

I’m a little divided... i think it’s an interesting article, well written, addresses a current subject of interest, looks like the author did the legwork with reference to a related interview and films, held my attention and i read the whole thing. But if i was contemplating a trip to that restaurant and googling for…

I still can’t get over the Zimmern quote about “saving the Midwest from bad Chinese Food”. Since if the residents of St. Louis Park wanted good SE Asian fare, all they need to do is get out of the suburbs and visit University Avenue.

“Whistle pig” is another name for woodchuck, although “fat, furry little sonofabitch” is my mother’s preferred term of endearment for the garden raiders.

Oh, my GOD. How does he get Chunk to sit right there? And if all the pests that eat our home grown goodies actually ate all of the fruit/veg and seemed this appreciative, maybe we wouldn’t mind so much.

I like Michael, but I have a bad feeling he’s going to have one challenge where he just woofs everything and has to leave earlier than I’d like him to. Same with Priya. She’s consistent, but hasn’t really knocked anything out of the park yet. But she’s being smart by staying consistent and not overreaching in the…

Rosie is making the top five. My current top 10 ranking:
10: David
9: Henry

Can’t see what your problem is. It’s not like the British have any kind of history with Africa, right?

A bread week handshake is the equivalent of 10 regular season handshakes.

Yeah.  I actively disliked David and his cat’s-arse mouth before, and this?  This made me start to hate him.  I predict I’ll be chanting “BURN IT!” next time when he rams something in the oven...

African tribal masks because he spent some time there. Fucking YIKES.

When there’s a vague theme like that, it means they’re going to bust out some crap that no one younger that 90 has ever heard of before.

When David announced he was making “African masks,” my husband and I both instantly shot each other the same concerned look.

Speaking from experience, cooking on television is STRESSFUL. When I was on Chopped I asked them to send my home after every round because I didn’t want to be there anymore. Judging by her body language, I think Amelia would be happy to go home and leave all that stress behind. Honestly, just being asked to be on this…

British biscuits are different. They are not like Popeye’s biscuits.

Those are actually all biscuits! Insane, ain’t it. I’ve never felt the need to make a giant chicken out of cookies, but at least I now know it can be done.
