Butterscotch sauce is pretty easy to make. If you want something like a chip, maybe chopped up Heath/Skor bars? Peanut butter chips have the same issue. You can’t maintain flavour ant texture like you can with chocolate. 

So you won’t be able to read anything at all unless you subscribe? I get it but I’m disappointed. I can’t really budget for sports media right now but I was hoping to read the Williams Sonoma catalogue.

I hated the lasagne and ratatouille-type meals because as a kid I didn’t want my food to touch, but there was no choice in the matter. That was how food was stretched. We didn’t have the luxury of making multiple meals. It was NOT a democracy and “sensitivities” didn’t arise. 

It’s weird. They probably could have cast women genuinely dumb enough to believe it was really Harry, but instead they went with the normal women who get cast on these things. All dating game shows involve creating a persona for the cameras and this far in to the genre, they all know it.

so Gaslighting: The Show?

People always reference doing these shows for “exposure”. Has anyone gone on to something better from these? Something not “reality-based” i guess?

Make everything a talk show sketch. The show is 90% talk show sketches anyway. 

Chocolate sauce is that cold bottled runny stuff. Hot fudge will congeal if it’s not hot.

Variation: put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on a bowl of Raisin Bran and call it breakfast.

TIL chocolate sauce and hot fudge are two different things. Huh. 

I remember trying hot fudge as a kid and being disappointed. It wasn’t like chocolate at all, or at least not the milk chocolate kids eat. It had this sort of acrid, non-chocolatey taste, so I just had caramel very time I went for ice cream.

I usually make homemade peanut sauce that I eat with chicken. I add sriracha and soy sauce, but for ice cream you have tons of options

There was a place I went to on vacation a few years ago that sold homemade potato chips dipped in chocolate. Crush those and mix with ice cream, add sauce. Or roast marshmallows, and add to ice cream with crumbled cookies of whatever you want, graham cracker if you’re traditional, literally anything else if you’re…

It’s funny, the post above yours has the exact opposite interpretation, which is why this movie is good.

It holds up beautifully, it just plays differently from how a lot of people saw it at the time. From today’s viewpoint, it’s quite clear that Tracy was the victim in the original situation with the teacher, that nothing she does is especially terrible — the tantrum where she tears down the posters is as bad as it gets…

Right, but that would be really hard to do in a movie. Because she still is the victim. It’s great how the movie lets Tracy be completely right to feel the way she does, but also calls her out when she’s wrong.

Love both Clueless and Election, but I’m not sure Election would hold up. Tracy sleeps with a teacher when she’s underaged and then that’s just dropped for the rest of the movie? I read the book and that was a major plot point but in the film it feels like part of an earlier draft. I don’t think I could watch it now…

Well no, when it comes to male on-air talent the bad stuff that gets brought to light usually seems to be “Seems nice in public but is secretly a serial sexual harasser behind the scenes”

I definitely agree that its love for its characters is what gives Clueless its staying power. It does a great job of making jokes about them and their entitlement while still being affectionate. 

I was obsessed with this movie when it first came out AND I think it fully holds up as a lot more feminist than it got credit for. It’s the first time I can think of they made the woman genuinely smart and competent without making her a tomboy, or “not like the other girls.” That scene where Heather thinks Cher’s…
