Hey, SailorV, I made the Salted Butter Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies! They look very uneven and not beautiful, but they are luscious with butter and chocolate. Next time I’ll chop the chocolate into smaller chunks to make slicing the dough easier and to disperse the chunks more evenly. Thank you for the recipe!
I was thrilled when we moved into our new house a while back and got rid of nearly every last thing in the pantry, thinking we’d start fresh and only have things (foods, spices, condiments) that we’d actually use. Imagine my surprise when I look in our pantry and refrigerator now and see so many items we don’t want or…
Daphne, because it’s the name of a lovely flower, and Cat because cats are the best. I’d love to say that the photo is my kitty but it’s not (I’m catless now), but I find it adorable because of the kitty’s smile.
Oh my, that recipe for shortbread cookies looks like a keeper. Thank you!
Exactly this, PH. I taught elementary school for 15 years, and my colleagues and I always said the same thing: Just let me teach the students, let me be a teacher. Enough with the meetings, the testing, the ever evolving “innovative methods,” and never feeling like I have enough genuine time with my students. I’m…

He’s not even really talking to the child even though, yes, there’s a child on the line; he’s playing to the camera. It’s his “I’m so entertaining” schtick. He thinks the press is going to chuckle at his off-the-cuff remark. The 7-year old’s confusion is collateral damage. He’s the worst.
Absolutely. Some of Trumps mannerisms and exaggerated, deliberate movements (pointing, buttoning his jacket, directional changes when he walks) are the same as my dad used in his earlier/mid stages of dementia. The motions are such a common way to hide confusion, when in fact we all recognize the actions for what…
I haven’t watched The Bachelor in a few years, but this looks hilarious enough that I’m going to have to step back into it. The tears! The overly emotional outbursts! This is pure gold. Only Married At First Sight and 90 Day Fiance have been able to quell my need for such DRAMA, but now, January can’t come soon…
I can’t claim credit, and I’m grey, so... (sob)...
Have you all seen this? It makes me happy.
I’m up here in Sacramento County trying our best to breathe, and WE DON’T WANT HIM ANYWHERE NEAR HERE.
Same here. I usually feel like a dry-eyed robot, but these pictures have me weeping with pride and hope.
Somehow, reading this article and watching the video are everything I need today. I’m avoiding all election-related headlines, and this was like pieces of gold floating down from above, muting all the noise, mixing all the metaphors. Deep thanks.
If you want a neat pantry, this is the BEST. I have two of them and they complete me. It’s called a FIFO Can Tracker, available at Bed, Bath, & Beyond.
Yup.
Great article. There’s so much in here that resonates. One aspect of the dead white woman storyline that infuriates me is the repetition of women being called beautiful, as if a less attractive woman being killed is less of a tragedy. In the headlines, no matter how smart, vital, or generous a woman may be, she’s…
Thanks for this. Endorsements are helpful, too. One of my go-to supports is the League of Women Voters, https://lwvc.org/vote/elections/ballot-recommendations, although they don’t have recommendations for all ballot initiatives. One thing that has me stymied is the yes/no vote on judges for the CA Supreme Court and…
No, Nunes is in Fresno, south of Sacramento. Sacramento is mostly blue, but the outlying cities are more conservative.
Whooo hooo! My county, Sacramento County, is all vote by mail and/or drop box and/or polling place, so there are no excuses. My ballot is sitting on my table, and I’m waiting until I can sit down and relish every minute of filling it out.
