Hope everyone had a healthy, happy & safe Thanksgiving. It was just us 3 this year. Was really nice despite us somehow completely ruining dinner so very badly that we made spaghetti & meatballs. The tiny human was in heaven over it at least. My husband and I just blamed 2020 as we are both quite capable cooks. So much…

Some Thanksgiving treats! With just us, we made everything smaller! My carmel apple mini bundt cakes with hot carmel sauce were to die for.

I think deep frying turkeys by anybody but professionals should be outlawed. The same thing happened at a friend’s house once, and the yard still smelled like turkey in March.

Two years ago during a big Friendsgiving my roommate overstuffed the turkey, causing all kinds of juices to run over the pan and burn on the bottom of the stove. He also put the bird in way too late in a finicky oven. The whole house was just full of toxic smoke, everyone had red watery eyes but it was too cold to be…

There was alway a recitation of my mother’s numerous holiday dinner disasters years after her death.

Late 80's. My grandma scorched the gravy. This was noted at every Thanksgiving until she died, and then thereafter. It was mentioned in my house yesterday.  She was a great sport about it (and it has not happened since - someone is always assigned with gravy watch). 

I’m a US/UK citizen as well, and while I think Joan sounds rather foolish for suggesting that turning off public comments on Instagram is somehow akin to “opting out of public scrutiny”, the royals are fair game. That family and institution has backed and profited off of inequality, racism, slavery and brutal…

What I found most stunning from that program was Diana revealing the Palace did not offer her much preparation for her transition into the Royal family, especially given her young age. I guess since Diana had been raised around the Royal family, they just assumed She knew everything She needed to know.

I will never understand the idea that its ok to harass and abuse public figures just because they are public figures. Especially for stuff they did literally decades ago that didn’t hurt anyone but their own domestic unit. Like I’d get it if like, Idi Amin had a Twitter account and people were attacking that dude…

There’s so much to unpack when it comes to Americans deciding that other countries should overthrow their governments because we somehow know what’s best for the people of another nation? That’s just a new brand of colonialism, and it’s gross.

Chipotle in adobo has helped make some mean pork tenderloin tacos.

You have one pictured you didn’t mention - black olives! And smoked oysters. 

Anchovy stuffed olives.

Just wanted to say that this was excellently written, and I am adding it to my list of all-time favorite Takeout articles.

I was confused by the whole thing. Separate priceless menus exist? For real? And restaurants go through all the effort and expense of printing them up just to give to women? Who I assume then ask for a normal menu, with the prices? Why would this ever be a thing?

I read this yesterday. I’ve experienced some of these things regularly. It’s a shame too many establishments don’t see women as people - with money - big mistake. HUGE.

This doesn’t strike me as him being selfish, but rather beyond frustrated and hopeless. He WAS there for her. For 2 years he stood with her and tried to make the charges stick. He worked with the system and the system ignored his daughter. It went so far that the school basically accused her of making it up…

Why wear suits 2 sizes too big or ties 4 inches too long? The man didn’t even know how to properly wear a waistcoat when he met the Queen. The oversized suits “make him look slimmer” and the ties “taller.” I’m sure he believes the orange makes him look healthier. There is literally no rationale to this man’s behavior.…

look, he is not a professional make up artist, but he thinks he is.

Why choose to be orange, though? It's not flattering at all, and vanity is Trump's thing. Maybe it turns Ivanka on?
