With some recipes, including this one, I consider that a feature rather than a bug. I portion out the leftover sauce into single servings and freeze. Then for a quick lunch or lazy dinner, defrost/reheat the sauce and serve over rice. You can also add firm tofu if you like while reheating, or cook some chicken. The…

Comparing your pay to your “peers” is a really great way to make yourself miserable. Reminding yourself how much you have and feeling in control of your finances are great ways to make yourself more content.

C&A is a real surprise. I remember when they were known as the store where the 1970s were always in style. I thought they went under a long time ago (or only nearly so?). 

Yep. To reiterate a really important point from the middle of your post:

I have bad news for Ben: it’s not only the lesbian women who are uninterested in fucking him...

A lot of people are missing the point here. I know lots of people that I never shared a movie scene with, and I still don’t have to introduce myself three times before they remember me. Worse, she had previously asked specifically who he was.

This. I was watching a random musical from the early 1970s last night (don’t judge, my son picked it) and suddenly I go, “Holy crap, that’s Gwyneth Paltrow’s mother!”...

Anderson Cooper should start his own cable news channel, with blackjack and hookers.

Absolutely. Being or becoming rich is not a sin in itself. What makes somebody a 1%er is not how much money they have, but what they did to get it and, above all, what they’ll do to keep it.

We just need to keep replying to each other’s posts so that they get ungreyed ;-)

The “complaint sandwich”, also called the “criticism sandwich”, is widely recommended by HR departments, and is invariably known to its recipients as the “shit sandwich”. What the employee actually takes away is the complaint and almost immediately forgets the compliments around it. Research by the late Cliff Nass…

I have a sneaking suspicion that nobody who isn’t already ungreyed anywhere is ever getting out of jail, ever again.

The best restaurants have a special service where they not only box the leftovers, they put them in their own fridge for a week before throwing them out.

Davison was also wonderful in the short-lived, wonderfully absurd A Very Peculiar Practice. I will be indebted to anybody who knows where that can be streamed by US viewers...

I told my wife, let’s get the first one through college. Then we’ll talk about a second

re. guest worker program. Not as much as you might think.

I’m an immigrant. I came here legally. And I’m here to tell you, the “legal” process sucks. It is long, expensive, complicated, and I don’t know how I would have managed without the lawyer my employer paid for. And I’m a middle class white native English speaker with a degree from a world class university.

Maybe they can use it to house the president’s Secret Service security detail, instead of paying outrageous rent to the Trump organization?

What’s really sad is that probably 70% of Americans lack equally basic knowledge of civics, if not that particular point.

Six people of whom five don’t know how to play poker and one is about to make out like a bandit?
