Did anyone else have trouble seeing the video? I tried several times, in different browsers, and each time it appeared to be playing, but the screen remained dark and there was no audio.

Hitchcock did try to warn us.

This is what I’ve been advocating for years. An employer shouldn’t be responsible for their employees’ health insurance. An employee shouldn’t be forced to stay at a job they hate or is killing their soul just to make sure sure their child can get their insulin, or that their chemo is covered.

That’s where my head goes, too.

I made a Christmas goose one year. It’s like an all dark-meat turkey. I thought it was delicious.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate that.

A round cookie cutter does the same thing. Just cover the pan to capture the steam, and use prongs to lift it off. Never had a problem.

My hair started falling out by the handfuls, and I freaked out in such a major way that I finally went to the doctor, and discovered that I had thyroid disease, with one symptom being hair loss. I had a bunch of other symptoms, too, but I had put them down to aging, being out of shape, and the continuation of other…

My husband and I walked out of 1917 shell-shocked. (Pun intended.) It was an amazing movie.

I’ve had the same branches of dried eucalyptus in a vase for twenty years. I need to dust them more often, granted, but they still look nice and actually have a bit of scent (if you bury your nose in them). 

I like to smash chicken bones before I simmer them. The marrow makes the broth even more flavorful.

My husband and I tried to watch this, but I was just in so much disbelief that I couldn’t stop yelling at the TV. “What the fuck?” “Are they kidding?” “Is this for real?” “Oh my god, what are they doing to those dogs?” “You don’t force a living creature to be your canvas!” “No way those dogs are enjoying that!”

D’oh! I totally forgot about rice cereal treats as an internal structure. They use them often enough on the baking competition shows.

The bakers on Food Network’s “Holiday Baking Championship” are sometimes challenged to make a croquembouche, and the results can range from beautiful to hilarious to just plain sad, but you can learn a lot just from watching.

You don’t wipe down exercise equipment that other people have sweated on? Including BIKE SEATS? Oh, gross. You COULD catch an STD - although the chances are very small - but what you really have to worry about is HPV, which you CAN contract through crotch sweat.

That’s what I was wondering. If you have to go out and get your own bag because there’s no one there to bring it to your door, what’s to stop people from helping themselves to other people’s groceries? Somebody who ordered ground beef could decide the T-bone steak in someone else’s bag looks pretty good.

Or floats.

Looks like canned cranberry sauce.

I’m guessing you never run out of manna.

Matinees for ghosts? That sounds spooktacular.
