Ah...Rooney Mara...don’t you think there’s a reason it’s called your PIE HOLE!

I’m so sorry. My mom died 5 years ago. I first went through a too-upset-to-eat phase, then a stuff-everything-in-my-mouth phase.

That’s not a whole pie. It’s like 40% of a pie. I wouldn’t need to be overwhelmed with grief to put that down. A semi-bad day would do.

Agreed. This news makes me sad. They were adorable together on SC. They had a lot of chemistry. Ah, well...there shouldn’t be any shortage of eligible young men interested in getting to know her.

Now I’m picturing Julianne Moore with a big brown smear on her face. Not good.

Yeah...I had mine pierced at the mall. I got a nasty, painful infection and the holes aren’t totally symmetrical. If I had a kid who wanted pierced ears, we’d absolutely try a tattoo parlor.

How about pork steaks. I’m from St. Louis, and I’ve eaten a lot of pork steaks in my life. Some are good, some...well, not so good. It seems like this tough, cheap cut of meat could benefit from the sous vide treatment. You could finish by throwing them on he grill with a good coat of BBQ sauce or pop under the…

This apple pie recipe with sos vide apples is sort of a pain in the ass to make, but totally worth it. Don’t let the term ‘gooey’ put you off. It’s not gelatinous and gloppy, the apples are just lightly coated with thickened juices.

Your family members are monsters.

I also think there’s some space between ‘must eat dinner together every evening of every week’ and everyone eating at separate times. Weekdays can be hectic, so we always try to have dinner at home together on Friday and Sunday nights, and eat at a restaurant together on Saturday. We usually eat at home together on…

Agreed. If I found myself in the position of a celebrity being asked about social issues in an interview, I would deflect and evade, deflect and evade. I would treat every conversation like it was Thanksgiving with my elderly family members and the topic was politics. No matter what you say, someone is going to get…

Hmm...maybe we should suggest they take a hunting trip together. You know...just a couple of NRA-supporting buddies having some bonding time....With guns.

Many grocery stores sell them. Sometimes in the cookie aisle, usually on the top shelf. Some stores stock them near the ice cream with the cones and toppings and such. They are really good alongside a bowl of ice cream.

I love lentil salads. My favorite is an adaptation of a Dean and Deluca recipe:

Your ‘salad’ terrifies me, but LGB!

Happy to see someone else who doesn’t like arugula. I try to like it, and I can tolerate it in small quantities, but it’s just not my thing.

I’m gonna call it a spinach and feta, and I’m also gonna recommend adding some sliced strawberries and maybe some sliced almonds for fun.

If he’s faking incompetence, he’s incredibly good at it. When we first started dating, he would sometimes make dinner for me. Unless he was running a really long game (some years from now when we’ve married and Wife wants me to help with the cooking, she has to think I have no idea what I’m doing) he truly doesn’t…

Oh, my goodness! That’s so scary! Is your boy OK?

So if a kid does have some sort of episode in the water and suffers some sort of distress, but is ‘minimally symptomatic,’ should the default action be to get them checked out by a medical professional, just to be sure? I’d gladly pay an urgent care/ER co-pay for the peace of mind of hearing a doctor say the kid’s…
