What a brilliant t-shirt! Mr. Dad may need one of these for Father’s Day, he’s always said the only reason he had any of us was to humiliate and mortify us in public as teenagers. Although I’m now in my 30s and almost impossible to embarrass, baby bro is 19 for another few months so THERE’S STILL TIME!

Looks so good, I love the squishy, juicy sunkenness of cakes like this.

Heaven in a pie crust

I’m so conflicted on this.

This is fascinating, thanks for sharing 

I’m so sorry to hear about your cat. I’m glad she’s had a long, full life and been lucky enough to be loved by you but I’m sorry that you're facing this news.

Same, jinni. I'm locked down withfamilybut I feel so starved of intimacy (not necessarily romantic or sexual intimacy) that I don't know what to do with myself. Before I started wfh (wildly grateful) my job was very people-y and now I'm just feeling so lonely. Big, remote hug to you

As my primary school art teacher endlessly advised us: “Draw what you SEE, not what you ‘know’ to be there.”

Exactly this. It's about consent. The dude writing says clearly that his wife's decision to stay and work on the marriage was based on the lies he told when his infidelity came to light. She is unable to give informed consent to remain in the marriage if he is still lying.

Yes! Like the illustrations of Asian or African animals by 15th century Europeans who had heard them described but never seen them.

I agree with the last bit so much. She fucking knows she's been/is being lied to. She was more devastated by the deception than the infidelity which suggests she'd be out if she knew it was still happening. In her situation I would want full disclosure so I could give informed consent to being in the relationship or…

This, like most royalty-adjacent chat, requires a heavy dose of “You don’t know these people” I’d say. I have precious few nemeses but the ones I do have are personal. Even those few I don’t really invest in these days.

Thank you dear!

So pleased your employers are at least trying to keep you safe. The Moscow mules sound excellent. Last night we had a bottle of red that for all the world tasted like gone-off cherry juice. We were desperately trying to work out what to do with the rest of it. I suggested putting it in a boeuf bourginon, Mr. Dad…

Fellow gluten goblin here, coeliacs unite! The cake looks great, one day I'd love to visit the US and sample all the goblin flours available, I know what works here in the UK but I always get recommendations for US items that I'd love to try!

Same.

Looking delicious and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I’ll bet your beloved was delighted with the home made delicacies and impeccable company, fancy restaurant or not.
