My answer to the question in the title is, “Enough to have one week’s leftovers, for leftovers are my reward for all that work I did.”

If you care about pesticides, one thing to be aware of is that the point of greenhouses is that you can physically keep the pests away instead of relying on poisoning them.

I switched to using extra-strength antiperspirant (at night) a while ago, and while it does what it’s supposed to with regard to stinkiness, to answer your question...your armpits don’t get clean.

Although Prisoner of Azkaban is literally the only movie that got Dumbledore right, even when the same actor played him in later movies.

One of my favourite fantasy writers, Harry Connolly, has a character in a book say, “Love potions are rape magic.”

But asking the question might get them to consider what they really want, which could prompt them to try to open up to you, or more solidly cement their intention to stay reserved.

It occurs to me a lot of these films were so popular not because they were good, but because they scratched the itch for specific flavours of escapism, particularly speculative fiction.

We went on an overland safari in southern Africa, and the guides wanted us to drink bottled water exclusively.

I was once visiting a friend for her birthday. For her gift, I got her two of those Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory candied apples with lots of goodies stuck to them and damned if the things didn’t take up as much space as a pair of men’s brogues in my poor over-stuffed backpack.

The number 4 is also considered unlucky in a lot of east Asian countries, so if you’re on a flight heading to/from/through that area, also pay attention to rows 4, 14, and 24.

I can’t eat wheat, and in terms of having a vacation someplace where I could actually eat things, India was incredible. Pakoras and pappadams and dosas forever!

I’ve been seeing a lot of people who really like these kinds of movies saying they really liked this movie too.

I was thinking the same thing about the food, to be honest — I have a load of dietary issues, and if someone gives me cookies, that’s a big ol’ sad for me, because I would like to eat them, but can’t.

Or maybe, after 1.5 years of pandemic, people are starved for both conversation and a taste of life outside their own home, and they’re enjoying this experience in their own way, rather than in your way.

I know that’s sometimes called a “re-feeding” day, which is a nice term for it. Feeding someone is a nurturing thing to do, and a re-feeding day is when you nurture your body after it has handled the strain of operating on a calorie deficit for a few days.

You mean like Sexy Nurse and Sexy Firefighter?

I can’t go back and check right now, but I thought the gooey baby that Laszlo initially found after following the gooey trail was holding the glasses in its wee gooey hand.

I read that you burn about 13 calories per pound of weight just to exist, if you’re sedentary. That’s as likely to be right as anything else on the intertubes, I guess.

Once ready to serve, you could stab the egg yolk (still in the pan), put the toast on top, then flip both the toast and egg onto your plate at the same time. Then the yolk can be diffusing into the toast while you pile on your cheese and meats.

The Kinjaverse is a bad place to be if you’re looking for positivity. This place runs on ironic cynicism (except for some of the articles about adding more butter than the recipe calls for; those are often very affirming.)
