Ham cheesecakes are a flavor I have not tried yet

When I have made chess pies, the golden top comes naturally when baked. No need to scorch or brown the sugar - that would only give it a burnt taste. Between the eggs and the high sugar content, it doesn’t take a lot to give it a nice gold color. 

Allison Green from the wonderful Ask A Manager blog says that when a company refers to its employees as ‘family,’ it usually means they’re willing to overwork you, won’t say thanks, won’t treat you as an (fully functioning, independent) adult and will expect you to be blindly loyal to whatever they ask of you. And…

Why Mike, you’ve changed! Dimitrios, that’s you?

Boden has some good options and as of a few years ago, a US website :-) 

On Chrome, at least, you can also hover over the link which will often show you at least enough of the headline (in the bottom left corner of your browser window). So you don’t have to click. :)

Super inappropriate and also leads to folks (like yourself!) feeling pressured to participate, which is worse. Alison Green of the (fantastic) Ask A Manager blog, writes: “1. Gifts should flow downward, not upward.”

Totally agree. As does Alison Green of the (fantastic) Ask A Manager blog, who writes: “1. Gifts should flow downward, not upward.”

The CDC says yes, there is a potential link between toxoplasmosis and schizophrenia.

It came out only very recently that he did not actually go through the E-Verify program. According to this article Yarrabee Farms was using an older Social Security Administration employment verification program, which sounds similar but is not the same. Iowa apparently doesn’t require use of the E-Verify system.

Illinois, because Lincoln’s on the penny. They lobby against it every time it comes up. And, makers of coin blanks. It’s not the zinc, it’s the product pennies are stamped on. 

Agree 1000%. BBQs have ... wait for it... barbeque. Pulled, chopped, pork, beef, whatever, but it’s barbeque. This is, at best, a cookout.

Scott Foley’s one of those actors who’s been in a bunch of things and is fun to imagine as the same character/person throughout. Young kid on Dawson’s goes to school with Felicity in NYC, cycles through some medical-field jobs (Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy), ends up in the military and settles down in Louisiana (True Blood).…

I’m sure you’re not speaking to me, as there is clearly a “mom” and a “dad” figure in that ad, and the copy specifically references a “traditional Irish-Catholic family,” not a single mom, or a single dad. If you read what I said, you’d see I was referring to the children being exclusively male - it seems odd they’d…

There are 10 people in that image for “The Kids Are Alright” but only one of them is a woman? Seriously none of those 8 children could have been female? (How realistic is that even, when it’s a 50/50 chance each child?) Those roles were definitely specifically written with little boys in mind? Because the childhood…

Thank you for responding to him in this really well reasoned way.

Before you try Glossier, you might want to check out The Ordinary products. I’m very attracted to their prices and the way that the product is all about the ingredients and they really spell them out. They will also email you a regimen if you ask for help with your specific concerns.

This sounds delicious! I love kimchi AND pimiento cheese, but can’t usually find an excuse to make a spread that consists of basically just mayo and cheese.  

good for you! (seriously!) :-)

For some of us, that is precisely why we chose the destination wedding. My experience of living in a different town than I grew up in meant that half-to-most of our guests were treating it as a “destination wedding.” Which was great for me as I wanted a very small wedding and saw it as an easy way to cut down on…
