This was so beautiful in the most bleak of ways. Wishing you peace. Guns disgust me. Too many bad things can happen.

I have a milk frother and TJ’s oat milk doesn’t froth that well in it. Mine comes out really thin. The best froth milk I’ve noticed so far is straight up skim milk. 

Can attest to this cereal thing. I’ve been gleefully happy eating my Cinnamon Life in the morning lately. We’ve also taken to buying those baby boxes of cereals for ‘dessert’ later in the evening.

Casting a vote for Beaver Bagel Company, which isn’t too far from Oram’s Donuts which got a call out for some reason in that giant bagel article. Beaver Bagel is in Beaver, PA. 

My local TJ’s was the only store I felt safe in for a while there. It felt like they were doing the most they could to control customers’ experiences in the store to be as safe as they could be. Masks required, signage everywhere, hand sanitizer everywhere. Only allowing a certain number of people in at once. 

Glad I read this today! We are using Queso Fresco tonight in a green shakshuka and our brand is safe.

Me and my husband are in the process of buying our first home. The kitchen in this house is not huge, but it’s very thoughtfully done. The cabinets look to be original, solid wood that looks like it’ll hold up. They did put in granite countertops a few years back, and honestly, I’m excited to just get away from the…

Dunkin has the worst breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had at a fast food chain. Something about the eggs... they smell and taste BAD. It’s too bad because I want to like them. McDonald’s or nothing, I guess.

I am an equal opportunity chocolate lover. I’ll take Hershey’s. I’ll take Ghirardelli. I’ll take fancy Belgian stuff or all the good chocolate from Germany (drool). I’ll take milk, I’ll take dark (but sometimes I can’t deal with TOO dark.... something about the bitterness and texture can get to me). Some of the very…

My husband and I try to eat vegetarian / pescatarian during the week... and do attempt on weekends some of the time. I was under no illusion that the Impossible Whopper suddenly made it ‘healthy.’ We just do the no meat for environmental reasons... (and I cut most red meat way back to assist with my cholesterol…

Scott. Yes. That one just really, really hurt me. I love Frightened Rabbit, I knew of Scott’s mental health issues but damn. That one was just a devastation. 

Oh yes, that one hurt too. I was a huge Vizzini fan and couldn’t believe he’d finally succumbed to depression and all that haunted him for years.

This is going to sound a little strange, but Cory Monteith hit me ridiculously hard. My cousin died at age 21 from a drug overdose. I remember during the week of the funeral, my other cousin and I decided to watch Glee to cheer up while at my aunt and uncle’s house. It was an episode that was completely about death…

Currently a few weeks into the house hunt myself, and my husband and I (we are 32) are growing a little disheartened. There’s no inventory in our area, the few houses that come up go in a day or less, people are making exorbitant offers and waiving inspections and we just can’t compete with that. Our realtor tried to…

Started panicking thinking they’d gotten rid of my very favorite red beans and rice. They live another day!

OK, I’m excited to try this. Jet’s is our favorite chain pizza and Detroit-style has become our go-to. There was a spot called Michigan & Trumbull that used to have a micro-restaurant in Pittsburgh in a food hall, and their pizza was to-die for. Pepperoni, hot honey, jalapeno, Detroit-style perfection. They moved back…

I’ll never forget how absolutely bizarre it felt to first wear a mask out in public anywhere. We had no masks bought ahead of time and a friend of ours sewed us a few crude options that tied with string. Once I ordered more structurally sound cotton masks, I felt better. But I do recall, in early pandemic days, people…

I’m in the CICO mindset right now. My goal is around 1300, though sometimes I try to get closer to 1200. I’m 5'4, female and around 200 pounds which I KNOW is bad for me. This isn’t my first rodeo with calorie counting, with MyFitnessPal, etc. etc. It’s hard work. I used to be so much more active when I was younger.…

I haven’t had ranch dressing in a long time. When you go without it for a bit, you really forget how much you love it when it’s back in your life. I tend to avoid ranch thanks to attempting diets and if I’m going to have it, I want it to be the full-fat kind, not some sad cauliflower knock-off. Pizza and ranch is…

I unabashedly am loving this song. I’m 32 and not the demo Olivia is after... but I also did try watching season 1 of HSMTMTS on Disney+. I never did finish. But this girl’s got talent, and I love soapy drama.
