I suppose it is important to have goals and believe in yourself.

You have my respect and envy.

If your coffee machine, or fridge, or whatever can connect to the internet, it might be, idk, a trifle overengineered. There are discussions to be had around accessibility and whatnot, but surely there’s a better way.

I’ve only had crispy mushrooms once; and that’s only because they were minced within an inch of their lives and fried in butter. And my sister might be a wizard.

I told a Fireball loving, unable to drink friend about this and she is thrilled. Hopefully it comes to Canada for her.

It’s not so much “backstory” as an irritating cultural norm that I haven’t become used to in the five years I’ve lived here.

I may be a trifle bitter.

Apart from abuse/neglect, I try not to have opinions on how people raise their kids. Unless your child is running full tilt in a grocery store screaming and nearly knocking over people while you stand in the middle of the aisle, talking loudly on the phone about “OMG, Sharon’s nails! I can’t even!” with no spatial…

Oo

Sambuca with Jack? I dunno if I could do it.

Oh, ugh. I like black licorice, but that sounds awful.

Welp, I know what I’m making this weekend. Hopefully.

That sounds delicious though.

And what, exactly, is a food blog writer, who is paid to write about food and food related things, supposed to do about any of that?

Please test your hypotheses are report back to the class.

Yeah, mine is pretty good about the recycling. The compost is different, but since I do all the cooking I see it more, so I don’t hold it against him.

Yeah, I’ve been there, and I’ve seen my freind’s relationships where it is like that. For us, it mostly boils down to “who’s home more”. Lately it’s been me, so I do a bit more, especially since I can’t contribute financially just now.

I will tell him. I’m not into boiled eggs, honestly.

Sometimes I am unkind and think there are only three decent dudes in the world: my father, my husband, and my brother in law.

I do not, but I absolutely know people who clean as a form of stress relief. Thing needs done, you do the thing, the thing is done, and results are obvious.
