Wow, you just blew my mind - no wonder Vegeta is the best stock powder! I had to check the ingredients on my can !

Update as requested: flight was great - plenty of empty seats and no one even mentioned the new year until we started our decent and the pilot said hny in the announcement. Would def take that flight again! 

I’m in Australia but it’s just an aggregator site of ye olde newspapers that have been scanned and “translated” into a searchable database.

I live in a neighbourhood where most of the houses are 100+ years old, so sometimes I like to research the ‘hood through old newspaper articles. A friend recently asked me to see if I could find anything that happened in her house nearby and I found that a woman who lived there 70+ years ago had an illegal abortion…

HEART!

I am avoiding NYE by being on a plane from LAX to Sydney. We leave on the 30th, arrive on the 1st so the 31st doesn’t even exist for me this year. Best. NYE. Ever.

Who are these lecturing vegans everyone is always on about and how have I managed to never come across one?

I witnessed a boozy Santa get rejected from a bar in Portland last night...the bar had a sign on the door with a Santa crossed out which said “no Santas”...bahahahahaha

They always have to throw in something about how long ago it happened. They obviously do it to try to discredit the victim, which is ironic because why would you do that if it was actually consensual? ugh

Maybe you can buy a cheap nanny cam to set up near his food bowl for peace of mind if you do decide to leave him?

Oh yes, I always tell my cat I want to eat him! (I’m vegan :0)

Funny story: I once saw the Monkees play at some kind of rib burn off (or other disgustedly-names food and music event) in Cleveland in a parking lot right next to the rock hall. At one point during their set, it started raining and the wind whipped up to the point that the Monkees ditched their instruments and all…

Thank you. I have voted for Marcia every time she’s been up because I thought she was fine and who is the alternative(!) but this is not acceptable. I hope someone else’s name will be on the ballot next time.

Aha, yes, very good point. I guess if I was doing fruit I could always hit them with the fork tines but I’m thinking the time a high-volume maker will save me is worth going crimp-free.

I need some pierogi-making advice please! I’ve been making pierogi for years, usually using a dumpling press that makes one pierogi at a time. That died from over-use so now I’m looking to invest in a maker that makes between 4 and 20 pierogi at once. The one that makes 20 at a time does not crimp the edges. Is this a…

Maybe Sara Driver?

Caffeine doesn’t actually affect me (if anything it makes me sleepier) so nothing makes me ungroggy in the morning! I just have to wake up slowly :/

Out back is Lake Erie ...

I’m an overseas voter registered in the state with *the best* stickers in the country and I’m always so sad not to get one.

That’s why I go to the gym when Murder, She Wrote is on the television and I can watch it while I’m on the hamster mill. Having that specific time I have to be there helps to get my ass there at all.
