I had a Hitachino Nest anniversary beer that tasted, in the best possible way, like soy sauce and vanilla extract. I know that sounds like an insult, but I really enjoyed it.

Use the same plant-based plastics as other compostable utensils. Done and Done.

As a history teacher in high school, I think this kid’s letter is the visual representation of awesome. At nine he is coherent, asking legitimate questions and pointing out problems. The real problem is the teacher’s dismissive comment that didn’t actually say anything. The teacher is disappointed? Maybe they should…

Yo, hook us up with that orange chicken dish. I can’t un-read that.

Are you Canadian? I am, which is why I am getting tired of hearing people excuse Atwood’s race issues with ‘hey, she’s Canadian.’ I was raised to believe Margaret Atwood was the centre of my country’s literary elite; I didn’t stumble upon her last year. I’ve met plenty of women from her generation who wrestled with…

 I’m such a flake, I’ve started a list of movies and TV shows on my phone, but whenever I look at it, I have no idea what any of them are, or why I thought I’d be into them.

So I’m going to make some ice cream for the office super bowl party (only about 12 people). I want to make two batches, one for each team. If the Eagles go, they will be a mint chocolate chip. For the Vikings, a blackberry lemon ice cream. Pretty easy, right? But I have no idea what to do for either the Patriots or…

How much money is she borrowing to be Educated but basically the same stupid at the end of the day?

Good article. Some extras (despite the Kinja handle, I’m Korean-Canadian):

These people happily eat Thai and other stuff! Somehow people just aren’t as familiar with Korean.

With all due respect why the fuck would you comment except to scratch that itch of must having to comment?

Yes.

They were together for 31 years. That’s a damn good run and there’s always a chance the could reunite.

Agree with this. Orange Crush is probably one of my top ten favorites.

The demise of R.E.M. is one of the great sadnesses of my life. I was fortunate to catch them live more than a few times and if they could reunite and go on tour, that would be excellent.
