I don’t bake cream into my quiche. A touch of milk and whisk the eggs like I would to scramble them (the milk helps them fluff, you could use water too). I make a mean one which is basically lamb with onion and tomato in a Persian inspired seasoning (mostly cumin, other stuff too) and just lots of eggs poured in a…

sweet and sour pork is a real thing. it’s made differently in China and Taiwan, but it is really Chinese food.

Was effective for me once “eat it or go hungry” was proven not to work, and I learned that it is possible to call your parents’ bluff. I may have been famished that night and the next - I don’t think I ate for 2, 3 days because I WOULD NOT EAT GREEN PEPPERS NEVER NEVER NO - but I won. “You don’t have to eat it, but…

That’s not very logical. You won’t necessarily eat something even if you are very hungry. I would rather go to bed lightheaded from hunger than eat a green pepper, lima beans or okra. It is not healthy for a child to be that hungry, and letting a kid be that hungry is just going to make the kid hate the food, and you,…

Exactly. I won’t go so far as to call forcing someone to eat food they don’t like as “mouth rape”, but I’ve just suggested it. So, there you are.

Clearly her kids were nothing like me. I would simply stay hungry until I got sick/lightheaded rather than eat a food I didn’t like. Hunger is preferable to things that taste bad. So my parents gave up on this right quick because I was going full Gandhi on their asses (hunger strike, nonviolent resistance). If your…

If you’re forcing a kid to eat a food that they have eaten before, didn’t like then. had to try again, still didn’t like etc. etc. then you don’t “know what’s best for them”. Forcing them to sit at the table is only going to make them hate it, and you, more.

That’s not quite the same thing we’re suggesting. Also, other than “physical attractiveness as a woman”, and for many roles “race”, which one of those is still a problem in the entertainment business today? Even for those, I assume you mostly mean for lead roles, as while there is a disparity for sure, and a huge one,…

Well it (what does “it” refer to?) couldn’t have resulted in anything, could it, as nobody to my knowledge has ever tried blacklisting entire groups of anti-woman moviemakers and actors? Has anyone ever even tried?

Exactly. I don’t find typically attractive men all that attractive - my husband is attractive, but he’s got the nerdy-bookworm-professor thing going on along with that, and that’s what I really like. Unless all the guys were nerdy bookworm professor types, I likely wouldn’t have cared.

I found I got over rejection fairly easily by being squicked out at the thought of getting nasty with anyone who didn’t want to get nasty with me. Like “you rejected me and made me feel like shit. Why on earth would I want to then get naked with you?”

The size of the diamond may indicate how much the dude spent but it does not indicate how much they love each other or how happy their marriage is. For all you know the less attractive married women with tiny rings could have fantastic loving marriages and the attractive married women with huge diamonds could be Betty…

Just don’t care. Still a no for me. Ask me after the apocalypse, I may have changed my answer then.

Me neither. Those things are basically singing roaches. No thank you.

The young hopefuls don’t bring the eyeballs as much as the “so famous you don’t have to work” actresses though, rightly or wrongly. Studios, directors etc. know that which is why A-list women (who get paid more than C-list or no-list) are still hired at all. Eventually they’d start asking themselves why they can’t get…

see I almost kind of respect that.

I would have straight up legit quit a school that said I couldn’t wear pants. I don’t mind wearing skirts but I will not wear them every day.

“I never thought she’d make it to college, but there she is” - uh, she went to Bryn Mawr? This is a Master’s degree that she’s studying for?

Also I think it’s pretty obvious that she isn’t refusing treatment because she “loves the tragedy”, she dispatched that quite quickly and convincingly when Sally said it. You…

I:

1.) Skipped all the reception stuff that really only exists if your food-drink-music party isn’t fun enough so you have to keep people from leaving. I think we just sort of showed up at the party post-ceremony and just started drinking, we didn’t really bother being introduced, it’s not like the people there don’t…

Yup. We didn’t want favors, but it was such a battle that I just went out and bought a giant red fake lacquer dish at TJ Maxx for like $2, and filled it with interesting candy (Indonesian coffee hard candies, Japanese matcha chews, rose-lemon hard candy and mango chewy-in-a-hard-shell candies, those gummy candies that…
