We are hoping to gut reno this hour in the next year, and top of my list for my fixed up yard is a greenhouse/zen hangout. Critter proofing! I can put up fencing barriers like Fort Knox around my usual spot and they still make out like bandits.

If the icing sucks - and fondant sucks hard - there is no point in putting it in your mouth, no matter how beautiful it might look. I don’t get it either. Whenever they have a Great British Baking Show episode where they have to work with fondant I just assume they chuck it in the bin after it’s judged.

Nice.

I do the Boston - NYC corridor frequently. The constant braking, bouncing and weird vibrations on any bus, even a LimoLiner, make me positively nauseous. Trains are definitely a smoother ride.

You give great ideas, canning and quick pickling must not become a lost art. I was checking my southern Granny’s chow chow recipe this evening, in prep for getting some seedlings done this weekend. Golden beets with pearl onions is a nice easy one, often did those with produce from McGorlrick park market in summer. Now…

I was 23 when Jagged Little Pill came out, and I knew immediately, it was very very bad, and did my best to avoid it for the next several years. My musical tastes were not in any way aligned with Top 40 American radio, most of what I listened to came out of Britain, was electronica, or world, stuff I would pay way too…

I don’t believe that of my Tar Heels. They got a lot of respect from my non-Heel friends for not going to the White House in 2017, fwiw.

Had never heard Kedr Livanskiy until just now. Thanks for that. Downloaded everything I could find.

Vasque was my biggest heartbreaker. From exceptional Italian made products, to tacky Chinese made subpar crap.

Good option for those of us who don’t use microwaves/have no space for one.

THIS

Clinton hating trolls will drop that hate wherever they can, even if it makes no sense.

I can’t overstate how much this moved me today. And how much we need to ensure she holds that position (or better) for as long as she wants to keep things amplified. A true warrior who simultaneously gives all the fucks for her son/black men, and none, for the patronizing fucks in the room.

You know what else is awful? The pizza/food at Mystic Pizza. We go to Mystic a couple times a year, actually stopped in to try it last summer. Absolutely inedible.

He was hilarious in Bedazzled, so earnest and dorky.

I don’t know, they look pretty damn good to me. That’s some healthy looking hair and defined jawlines for middle age.

We did not, yet. Yesterday I asked my husband if he was good with paying $85 each (at HOB Boston, yuck) and said if so we need to move fast. Then today we awoke to the terrible news. As of yet, the Prodigy hasn’t said if they’re cancelling, we may yet go if they keep the date.

Horrible news. We were just looking into tickets YESTERDAY for Prodigy in Boston in May. Your Love, 4ever. RIP. 

I fought tears reading this. I am so sorry for your loss and really appreciate you sharing your story.

Nasty. How could you witness that then try to eat.
