The chef looked at me and said something like ‘they are consuming me’.

A Christmas miracle (spectacle?)

That tweet failed to capture the whole bodega vibe. Bodegas are not like regular grocery stores. The selection is far...quirkier. Sodas from South America. Candy from Japan or Europe. It all depends on the owners and the neighborhood. 

There’s nothing wrong with defund the police. The idea that people asking not to have to pay motherfuckers to kill us is somehow offensive is ridiculous. And Clyburn can fuck off with his complaints about it. He’s part of the damn problem.

The problem is that the Don’t Rock the Boat Party really hates rocking the boat. They don’t see themselves as a party that stands for anything. Their mandate is just to say “we’re not the Republicans” and are happy to drift into power whenever the GOP base becomes lax in turning out to vote themselves. They know their…

Sometimes I can’t believe how much I love mushrooms. Morels, chanterelles, shiitake, maitake, oh, how I love em.

It’s just the funniest thing I have read in weeks. Whoever devised this contest is either a sadist or very very wise, and it’s giving me a whole new way to think about eating, lol.

Always wash. Alton Brown, and Mythbusters, separately answered this by weighing mushrooms before and after washing with no significant gain in weight.

Always wash your fresh food.

I give them a quick rinse and dry with a towel immediately before cooking. Never had issue. It’s partially for dirt but also the countless people who rummage thru the store bin. And yes I’m sure the cooking takes care of that but it gives me piece of mind. Which goes a long way these days.

I feel sorry for whatever underpaid and probably illegally-hired housekeeper these people employ, it’s a full time job just dusting the fake plants.  Those things collect dust like nobody’s business.

I did not notice the wacky stonework casserole going on until you said something.  Now I can’t unsee it.

I’ll say this much - so many McMansions look weirdly desolate inside, because how do you fill that much space? Like, there’ll typically be that one room with a handful of Rubbermaid containers, one lone armchair stuffed in a corner, and a folding table, or something like that. These people clearly don’t have that…

I didn’t know porcelain could be made in Dark Pepto Bismol Pink.

Dude pulled a Ron Swanson. He was like:

Shit, I was not actually prepared for that. I think it may be the fugliest interior design I’ve ever seen- and I frequent McMansion Hell. Even minus the mounds of ugly Christmas crap, you can still tell there’s a nightmare underneath. The fake flowers/plants alone.

I read, “if only it worked on my galaxy,” in your comment and thought:

Good, maybe this will put a damper on arrogant American Exceptionalism!

“This is the problem with having so many folks who have a platform because of athletic prowess or musical ability or entertainment/acting ability.”
