I worked at Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill, Bill Smith’s recipe for pimento cheese is much like this and goes great on so much, especially hamburgers (check out his cookbook Seasoned in the South). Growing up as a kid in N.C. I downed endless  celery sticks, chutes packed with pimento cheese.

I did a quick look up of doss house when I read the initial post, and didn’t see this type of image or explanation. I had no idea. How dehumanizing. The type of thing I can see Stephen Miller and his ilk being perfectly comfortable with/laughing about.

People may find them gross, but when I lived in NYC I adored Fresca Tortilla soft tacos, I would get three - one steak and cheese, one sauteed garlic spinach, and one black bean and cheese. I would be so happy after that insanely cheap meal.

OMG. I had totally forgotten about that movie. Nice one.

That’s a lot of assumption happening there as to those of us languishing in the greys.

I bought the best self-watering planters at WalMart for vegetable/tomatoes last year, the plants produced waaaay more in those planters than the ones I got at a bougie local place. If anyone responds I’ll go out to look at the label tomorrow and post the details.

I see her as the type to slice up a single fat piece of asparagus for her meal, like Lindsay Lohan used to talk about doing.

Saw them headline Lollapalooza 1994 in Raleigh, NC, Walnut Creek, I think. Not a huge venue by any means. Seemed like a pretty high point for their career, but people (I knew we were) streaming out. Since then he’s come out as a right wing conspiracy wacko. Might be a little off-putting, even for fans.

I have to think they really don’t believe anything they say. It’s all for money and notoriety. 

Congrats to her for overtaking Heather Childers as the biggest right-wing c*nt from my hometown. ftr Heather was two years ahead of me in my high school, I don’t know this bitch personally.

Learned he’s too sick to act, apparently, he just paints now. That sucks, I adore him. I should break out Fishing with John, it’s been awhile. For those who haven’t seen it, get on that.

John Lurie conspicuously missing from the list.

“Whom among us, really.”

Ha! I detest marshmallow, but had never heard of that and am curious. 

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…
