Many cardamom recipes used on the British Bake Off, always wonder if I’d like it (probably yes). I am totally holding back from watching the current (currant?) season because they are coming out one week at a time and I want them ALL at my disposal. Anyone know how many weeks are left in the season?

Wow, fair play, that’s a hell of a march! Ireland is watching gingerly and hoping this slow-motion car crash won’t kill us all... It’s so far beyond ridiculous. We’re with ye sane Remainers.

Just for scale I only got to about the orange dot on the map below but inside the red outline it was packed solid, I could literally not move, and it went back solid for about two miles and despite being one of the earlier groups to depart and overtaking probably tens if not hundreds of thousands of people it took two…

Shelter Cat Update!

Trump has made three years feel more like ten to fifteen. Someday a physicist will explain how he’s a human blackhole.

My connection with this photo isn’t what’s in it specifically, but that Trump attacked her with it and she made it her twitter background. That’s a smooth move to me.

I think the strategy is just admit to all of it; let the democrats impeach; the republicans in the senate will not convict; it will be over with in a few months; and Trump can act the victim and claim that he is “vindicated” because no republicans voted to impeach and none voted for conviction and it’s just the…

Their playbook seems to be
1. Admit to crimes
2. Act like it’s no big deal and everyone does it
3. ???
4. Profit

Great story. As a real young kid, the first thing that fascinated me about cars was the freedom it afforded its operator and passengers to go wherever they want whenever they want with minimal restriction.

Superb article, I never knew about any of this and I was a competitive cyclist for almost 6 years.

Soulless wretched fell right underneath that tree. 

To each their own but that movie was amazing!

A neighbor and I used to nurse our hangovers on the back fire escape with a bottle of red wine. In one of those blurs, she told me that all people really want is for someone to listen and validate them. I never forgot that and I can’t tell you how many people have opened up and cried in front of me. 

“Don’t put spoiled milk back in the fridge and expect it to be fresh again” - My Uncle’s advice re: getting back with an ex

A very wise man I used to work with at a sporting goods store told me that there are 2 things in life you should never skimp on...shoes & mattresses.  Because you spend 90% of your life in one or the other.   Truer words were never spoken!

My grandfather once told me you need two kinds of money. “Walking around money” and “running away money.” And to always keep the piles separate.

Thank you for this, Stassa. I made a similar comment under a story a few days ago, and I watched the 60 minutes segment last night. I had a similar reaction. I was uncomfortable with the framing of both the Texas Ranger and of Little. When he spoke in the interviews, it’s clear he’s not a genius, nor did he come…
