I’m interested to see the results on NC’s Tricia Cotham when her time comes around, too.

I have a protein intolerance of some kind too. I usually buy Planet Oat extra creamy. I’ll drink almond if there’s no other choice, but oat just tastes better whether plain or in coffee.

I had JUST finished watching that the previous week and was like HEY IT’S ELLEN and made the same assumption.

My mother joked that she had two only children - I’m ten years older than my sister and we only lived in the same house for about 2-3 years total.

I quote Mushu regularly. DISHONOR ON YOUR COW!

I need my wintertime Gingerbread lattes back, WITH the spiced molasses drizzle.

Not necessarily. Having had big and average both, if all other factors are equal, I’ll go for average for penetrative purposes. Big is fun to look at and to use hands, but in certain positions, slamming into my cervix is a total mood-killer, which can happen by accident no matter how good in bed a guy is. (I also have…

I’ve never heard of this until now. It sounds like the bananafied version of an affogato. I loooove affogatos - the bitterness of the espresso with the sweetness of good gelato is divine.

I have developed dairy issues - not lactose intolerance, not 100% sure if it’s a casein or whey problem or what - but low fat dairy in general leads to Bad Things. And while cream cheese and sour cream have both been sadly relegated to the NOPE list, small amounts of full fat yogurt have not, yet! Bring on the Liberté!

My favorite caprese has mozzarella di bufala, which negates the “bland” part, but it’s somewhat hard to get because it’s imported from Italy and it has a short shelf life. It’s stronger/more pungent, and it’s fantastic when it’s allowed to shine as the main ingredient. It’s the sort of stuff for which you bust out…

...so I can have a latte without shitting my brains out 45 minutes later because I have a not-lactose-intolerance dairy issue.

Yes, that’s the guy. They have similar features but it’s definitely not Alexander.

I can see where you’d think it was Alexander Skarsgard, but it’s actually Ian Rozylo:

I LOVED One Day at a Time. It was a leeetle forced-cute to start, but I ended up loving it very quickly.

As much as I love this show so far, I did think “where would she have learned to ride that well?”

I have, although not much. I’m dying to go to Cinque Terre and Bolzano, and my bio father’s family is from the south. Maybe when I get fed up with my job I’ll just go over there for a few weeks and work my way up.

The Dutch G is reminiscent of the hard northern German CH - kind of a rattling in the back of the throat. Khhhow-da. I was in a car going past the city from which it gets the name, said it with the American pronounciation, and was very crisply corrected by my Dutch friend.

They were in Naples - worked for Admiral Boorda in the 90s. They didn’t take me with them, unfortunately - dumped me on relatives for the duration instead. But my mom picked up a lot of the pronounciations and passed them on to me.

YEP. Family was stationed in Italy for several years.

Heh. A friend told me I was being pretentious for saying “gouda” with the correct Dutch pronounciation.
