Our grill is connected to the natural gas line. This has been particularly handy this year when we are muddling through a kitchen remodel at the worst time of year to do so (not my choice).

Our summer has started earlier and earlier every year, and it extends later and later every year. I’m grateful for what little winter we have left, and will surely bask in the memories of it once we’re all living in a Mad Max Fury Road wasteland.

100% THE WORST

I live in Wisconsin and we grill outdoors year round.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

She laid forty eggs.

The Jason Momoa ship sailed for me when he said he loved working on Game of Thrones because he got to “rape beautiful women.”

Last year I was at the Milwaukee Admirals Teddy Bear Toss game and my stuffed pig hit a player right in the face. He was not amused at all.

A while back Jonestown came up in conversation for some reason and my step-dad immediately launched into a scathing diatribe about how all the members were gullible idiots and he himself would never fall for the obvious lies of a power hungry madman.

Here’s a thing that has helped me stay on top of SAD: I start using my lamp in mid-August. Yes. August. Yes, it’s still summer. Yes, it’s probably still a billion degrees outside. But the days are already getting shorter and the angle of the sun is already visibly different.

I have some like that as well, and most of them call for x amount of “fat” because back then you used whatever fat you had be it lard or butter or whatever. 

My aunt makes that rum cake every Easter!

I love zoodles! And I’ve been eating leftovers of a creamy chicken spaghetti squash casserole all week and it’s heaven.

My brother makes this nachos-type appetizer that’s tater tots as the base topped with pulled pork and blobs of Velveeta, heated until hot and melty, then finished with thinly sliced fresh jalapeños (and sour cream if you like). It’s a hit.

I’ve lived in or near Milwaukee for the better part of my life and am an avid pizza consumer and I think the fact that I had no idea what “Milwaukee style” meant says it all

Scrolled down to the comments just so I could mention the A-Team movie if no one else did. Criminally under-rated. 

This is such a great idea from a variety standpoint. I love to get multiple desserts and split them amongst the table but some people aren’t into that. This would be a fun and convenient way to get a lot of different flavors.

I'm from WI--the coverage has been unavoidable. 

I remember years ago seeing a guy on tv who lost his whole face (eyes included) to a runaway fungal infection and the doctor said it was one of those freak things where this fungus is around all the time and most of us are just fine — “it’s basically bread mold.”

I tried a number of different things when I was having some stomach issues several years ago, and probiotics (I tried several versions) either did nothing or made the problem worse. It was worth a shot!
