“In theatres”

Meg and John didn’t even have company that night, they were just trying to have dinner alone LOL. The drama when they had company was when Meg was having a major meltdown over the red currant jelly not setting and John brought a work friend home. (Should I be embarrassed I know this book so well?)

Hello, were you on Jezebel years ago when this piece of golden LOL happened? I’m not sure how to link a whole comment thread but select the Community tab and it should be first on top, the comment by CyberToyger and everything that followed.

Oh no for sure I know you were only emphasising your size difference because he’s the one who came out all “Speaking as a six foot 200 pound man” (insert eye roll here). But just because yours were the comments I first came across this is where I made the comment.

And let us not forget that Meagher’s murderer Adrian Bayley was out on the streets that night because he was on parole after serving a piss weak sentence for multiple violent rapes, but those victims were just sex workers and who gives a shit about them, right, it’s not like nice respectable women were in…

This isn’t an attack on you (I think you’re pretty great), I’m only commenting here because you’ve made a few comments in response to this idiot pointing out you are a very petite woman.

Under His eye.

Why did people decide he was absolutely amazing in the first place without any particular proof of that? Just because he’s popular, dapper and good looking?

Have you given tempeh a shot? It’s much firmer and more savoury than tofu (soft tofu is a waste of eating time IMHO).

Gochujang is fantastic with seafood too if you ever feel like something lighter. I use baby squid cut into rings, or sometimes prawns. Make up a marinade/sauce with gochujang, soy and rice wine (I use mirin for a little bit of sweetness) in whatever ratios you feel tastes best, and stir-fry with whatever veggies you…

OMG one of the linked articles speculates that Kim Jong-un has gout. I legitimately had no idea that gout was still a thing. You learn something new every day.

Yeah this kind of matches up with the experience of someone I know who met him, which admittedly disappointed me a bit. Maybe his character in the Harold & Kumar movies was so funny because it’s actually more like what he is in real life (minus the hetero part, obviously).

I think part of that is that when someone cool dies we can sometimes tend to canonise them a bit, playing up their goodness, and get defensive if anyone tries to suggest the person was less than perfect (as has happened in the comments sections of lots of posts here about him).

Andrew Coe’s “Chop Suey” is fascinating and everyone should totally read it. I also high recommend “A Square Meal” which is about food during the Depression, which he co wrote.

I was a bit young for it when it started airing for the first time but since then I’ve tried sporadically, usually at the exhortation of a white friend, but life is too short to watch TV shows I don’t care about and feel vaguely alienated by. Finally I let myself decide “It must be a white person thing, it’s okay that…

WHY DOES YOUR PRESIDENT TWEET LIKE THIS???

My favourite Bourdain moment was when he called Alan Richman a cunt in an article about Richman shitting on the New Orleans restaurant scene, like, one year after Hurricane Katrina.

What it was for me was that *he grew up and did better*. Kitchen Confidential absolutely stank of boys club machismo and gave the impression that Bourdain, whilst he might not necessarily grab a woman cook’s ass himself, would just keep his head down and say nothing if a male peer did, and smirk and crack jokes along…

The media is in a real bind when it comes to covering celebrity suicides. On the one hand suicide contagion is very much a real thing and the outpouring of love and validation for the deceased person is a part of why it’s contagious. On the other hand if they don’t cover them that’s not helpful either.
