“That recipe which is endlessly changeable and adaptable because you make it yourself? It’s too sweet or to bitter. And it’s too chunky. That’s why I prefer low-quality, unadaptable, nearly inedible cranberry Jello.”

Sitting in a darkened theater as a stupid little six-year old with no idea how my mind was about to undergo a quantum leap in imagination. I was about to see a fantasy world in the kind of detail that even my own mind at that point was incapable of. When that Imperial Destroyer flew over my head in pursuit of the

As an old I remember looking forward to an upcoming film about the “Adventures of Luke Starkiller” called “Star Wars” after reading about it. They even had a little preproduction art:

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad! If you’ve been subjected to cranberry sauce with only two ingredients I can’t blame you, though. That would be pointless at best.

The hymen is the most misunderstood part of human anatomy.

You should probably mention whatever foods you actually like to eat so as to not be dishonest from the outset in a relationship. Just a thought.

Maybe I’m just getting old, but damn if headlights on newer cars aren’t blinding as hell. Even without their brights on.

You really never know, right? When I found out that a beloved high school conductor/music teacher was recently sued by former students for molestation, it felt like part of my childhood died.

He had pretty good comic timing on that show. And his hair was absolutely the male 1970s teen idol hair ideal. All others? Pale imitations.

Born in’67, so David was too old, but Shaun Cassidy was just the perfect age.

Now playing

Whether you liked the music or not, he had a lovely singing voice. Favorite Partridge Family song was Summer Days - a lovely diddy. I saw Partridge Family in re-runs and fell in love with David Cassidy. Rest in peace good sir.

I am old enough to have crushed on him, and I will admit I thought he was super cute, but my tween heart belonged to his half brother Shaun. My friend and I had many debates over which Cassidy brother was dreamier. We were both right.

About 20 years ago or so I ran into him in a bar in NYC. My friends had set me up on a date and the guy ditched me and we had suddenly become five instead of six. So I kind of wandered around while my friends were with their boyfriends and I (literally) ran into David Cassidy. I looked up and then laughed and then,

This added context helps put things into perspective. I only wish she didn’t feel forced to reveal that she was his victim if she wasn’t ready to come out with this.

I recommend reading “Man’s Search for Meaning”. Excellent novel with some background regarding the importance of purpose.

Cranberry sauce is also one of the easiest things you can make, and yet people are really impressed when you make it. It’s a win-win!

son of a bitch, that sounds fucking delicious.

This may come from having an immigrant family, but we stuff the turkey with buttery rice that has prunes, dried cranberries, raisins, toasted almond slivers, and toasted pine nuts. The rice on its own is delicious, but after being roasted in a turkey for hours, the result is the most flavorful rice you will eat during

I loooove pumpkin pie. Love. It’s not Thanksgiving without it! My fiance is diabetic so I bought myself a mini pie last year just so I could have some.

my cat is FINE she just eats too fast!!!
