These things are my kryptonite, every year. Just like a Caramilk bar, except they pop pleasingly in your mouth when you bite them.

Since Google is a thing, and a fast thing, too, I tend to look at four or five recipes and see what they have in common.

She was definitely acting tweaky and twitchy while hanging all over Megan Thee Stallion at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.

I heard some instrumentalists playing the song a year or so ago, and started getting annoyed with their version before suddenly thinking, “That doesn’t even sound Hawaiian!”

A slice of cheddar with black olives arranged on top.

Chris Rock: “I have the right to publicly humiliate a woman in front of all her professional colleagues and the world via a television broadcast because once, a few years ago, I didn’t like her tone with me.”

Chappie was awesome.

Also, you can skip World War Z. It has some great looking scenes, but not a good story, and the solution for stopping the zombies was simply stupid.

I really liked Coherence. The science fiction concept comes across subtly but nicely, while the humans get on with the task of being messy.

When it comes to exercise, “every bit counts” is the truth, and the first bit counts disproportionately highly. So do whatever you can do — it’s always beneficial, no matter how far from the ideal you might be.

I guess the trick of ironing it on an incandescent bulb is as obsolete as incandescent bulbs.

Yeah, rice pastas are pretty good, and corn pasta is too. The protein pastas are indeed different and not necessarily in a good way, but I don’t mind them. (Any port in a storm; any pasta that won’t make you sick.)

To quote the movie Zola: “Pussy is worth thousands.”

Oh, gosh. That show.

My note/quibbles:

Most of this stuff should not be stored in the kitchen, because you would only occasionally use it in the kitchen.

I’m reminded of the restaurant food critic who got to the point where she couldn’t eat anything but chicken fingers at home. Eating while at work was—well—work, and she got so she couldn’t mentally deal with anything but bland food on her own time.

This is a good list to remind me of the odd ways I seem to judge these movies compared to other people.

Generally, if something you’re trying to brown is sticking, let it cook a little longer, because you’re trying to move it too soon. It will (often) pop off just fine once it’s sufficiently browned.

I’ve never had any trouble doing fasted workouts; that’s my standard.
