As if often feel compelled to say to friends who shower twice a day and wash their hair daily, “You do not work in a coal mine. Just how dirty can you get walking to the corner deli?”
And if you have generally dry skin, soap on the legs everyday is not your friend. It just dries you out even more.

Having read the book, the relationship is handled a bit differently. And there is no broken penis. And knowing people who have been in abusive relationships, Celeste kind of rings true in the books. The HBO show is not the book.

I love spam prepared the correct way (sliced 1/4 inch thick, browned until crispy outside, then either turned into musubi or on soft white bread with american cheese and yellow mustard). I grew up in the land of spam. There are a lot of things you can do to it that are great.

I do pretty much all my cooking for the week on the weekend. One is always a chicken stew of some kind (I mix it up weekly) which is started on a Saturday and finished quickly on Sunday, and pretty much everything else on Saturday. I just pick 2 or 3 main dishes for the week and roast a ton of vegetables, have salad…

I love Batiste dry shampoo. I have the original on auto delivery. (a) it definitely freshens my hair, but also (b) it adds much needed body and thickness. The stuff is great.

Meals on Wheels saved my father a couple of times. An old man, very physically feeble, unwilling to go to an assisted care facility, they came four days a week, at a charge of $6 a meal (worth it to have someone checking up on him. The food was awful, but 2x the person delivering the food found my dad collapsed and…

I love Amy Schumer, but honestly, The Leather Special was not funny. Really not funny. I had no idea there was trolling regarding the show when I watched it (the day it was available), and I gave it 2 stars, which seemed about right.

I love my Instant Pot and use it a lot. I can fully attest to the HB eggs, kalua pig and the chicken. Now, with the chicken, I think of it not as a roasted chicken, but as a chicken made for its parts. For chicken salad or for shredding, stuff like that. Plus the broth left behind is amazing.

My all time favorite…

And it makes perfect hard cooked eggs. This is the best rice maker ever.

If you were to look in my fridge right now, what you would see is 1 KG in my freezer, one KG in the butter drawer, and 1 KG on the counter in a ceramic dish. There’s nothing like slathered onto a hard end of sour rye bread and dipped in soup.

No. 1. Robert Mitchum was a serious badass in real life. The guy actually escaped being on a chain gang when he wad 14 years old, he did demi-pro boxing AND is one of the first of the Hollywood superstars to get busted for the mary jane.

No 2. Danny Trejo, who was the boxing champion during his time at San Quentin

Lao Gan Ma Chili Oil with Black Bean. Oh my god, it’s amazing just dumping a little on some vegetables. I mean, chili oil with the saltiness of black beans. It does have a touch of MSG in it, so one might want to maybe try a different brand, but I could practically drink the stuff.

I have this book. I love this book. It is my lay on the sofa and dream book.

Cooking for one really is a challenge, even for someone like me, who has been doing it for years. I tend to either go big batch/freeze or soup/salad/steak as my weekly meal plan. And I always throw in a couple varieties of serious cheese and Greek yogurt. I love my dairy. Where I always waste, every single week, is on…

This is absolutely the best way to freeze stuff. Quick defrost, and it takes up way less space in the freezer. That said, you need enough room in the freezer to lay it flat and freeze, because one is generally doing more than a single bag or two. I will often find myself barely wedging the about to be frozen packets…

I have this pan and it is awesome. I think I paid $14 for it a few months ago with Amazon. Honestly, the best pizza pan I’ve ever used. Light-weight, easy to clean, the right size. I love it.

I don’t know if Britain’s okay, but I’m gutted. I love this show so much and a good part of the reason is because of Mary and Paul and Mel and Sue. Everything about it is so wonderfully charming. The bakers are lovely, the Judges and hosts lovely, it’s just one of the nicest, feel-good programs on television. Even…

With all my heart and soul, they planted the gun and took the book. Years ago, I’d have been iffy on this, but the last few years, it’s hard not to go for the worst thing because it’s almost always the worst thing.

From the very beginning, I thought it was the brother. It just made the most sense. Here she is, getting all the attention, the star of the family, and he just kind of exists in the world, you know?
