I didn’t actually watch the video, so I’m not sure if she mentions this, but heating flax seed oil smells...bad. I use it to coat my pans after scrubbing. It makes the whole kitchen smell like dead fish.

I’ve got it way worse than ‘Mackenzie.’ My neighbor has a set of wind chimes that sound exactly like an ice cream truck. I’ll be outside, playing with the dog, or messing with the garden and I’ll here this lovely sound that fools me into thinking the ice cream truck is headed my way. Just before I dash to the house…

He’s talking about dancing, right? Dancing to country music. Right?

I can totally see the video...Spicer looking at Trump loving, Trump looking back. All in slo-mo of course. Spicer hiding in the bushes...

You’re right, and I think the takeaway from all of this is that each case is different. You can’t make a determination about someone’s competence from just IQ.

Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck! I think there must be some Diet Coke gene that some people have that makes Diet Coke taste like the devil’s urine. Kind of like that gene some people have that makes cilantro taste like soap.

I’m usually an iced tea drinker, but I’ve recently started drinking La Croix to cut back on caffeine consumption. My current favorite thing is a big glass of crushed ice with a teaspoon or two of some fancy fruit vinegar, a little simple syrup, topped with a can of La Croix in a complimentary flavor. Also good with a…

I think people have this reaction to Diet Coke because it tastes so very, very, very, very, very bad. Even thinking about the taste makes me want to brush my teeth. I can occasionally drink other diet sodas (especially with a lemon wedge) but Diet Coke is a total no-go. To me it tastes like a mouth full of chemicals.

Oh, man. My family took a vacay to Boston a few years ago and we spent a ridiculous amount of time wandering around the North End just eating and eating. We did go to Mike’s and ate a lot of cannoli. I’d never been there and wanted to try it. I thought it was great, but would really like to try different places next…

I guess you’re right. I’m not really surprised that people like to share these kinds of things, or that they think it’s funny. What surprises me is that they think they can do this at work and not get caught. And no matter how much fun their having with it, why do they risk job loss and public humiliation? Just…

As someone who spent a lot of years working with people in this IQ range...I don’t know. We don’t really have enough information here. It’s hard for me to believe the state would take these children just because of their IQs. There could very well be other circumstances here that we’re not aware of. I have certainly…

I just noticed my local grocery store is selling fried plantain chips made by a local Cuban restaurant. Now I need to make some ceviche to scoop up with those chips.

I have a few of these in the small size, and though they haven’t caught fire, I can’t recommend them. The top is wide and the base is small, so they’re very tippy. If you put a spoon in one it will tip over. They’re Weebles for your table.

One thing that really helped me was when the pediatrician quizzed my son on his eating habits. When he admitted he didn’t eat many vegetables, the doctor gave him a three-bite rule. Eat three bites of each vegetable at each meal. At mealtime, it was nice to be able to say, ‘Remember what Dr. M said about three bites!’…

Absolutely. They’re the first vegetable my son would eat willingly and in quantity. And really there’s nothing easier than heating up some frozen peas with a little butter and a bit of salt.

It’s like he’s taking lessons from Team Trump.

Thanks, I actually laughed out loud at that. Interesting to note that your definition of love includes behavior that most people would find creepy and sleazy. You must be quite a catch!

Exactly. It’s my right to use my own judgement to come to the conclusion that R. Kelly is a scumbag.

I made this for my husband’s birthday. It’s a bit of work, but since cookies are his favorite food group, it was well worth it. Martha uses mascarpone, because Martha, but you could certainly sub cream cheese.

Ok, Rick James. I’m as white as it gets and I would never think I could get away with this kind of thing. These people are just...dumb.
