That looks easier to handle than my $1 thrift shop cookie press with 20-odd patterns. Even with buttery fingers, it looks easier, and I’d like to make a two-tone cruller-type butter cookie for the holidays like that red-and-blue thing on the box.

“...he was thinking about an early retirement from Congress...” There’s no such thing as ‘early retirement’ from Congress. You just don’t run for the next term. He’s nothing but a Representative - he’s been there 4 years, not 48.

Lettuce used to go bad while I was trying to use it up, so I switched to Chinese cabbage. I used the wrinkly part of the leaf as lettuce in my lunch salad and I chopped up the stalk (stem?) part of the leaf for stir-fry. Years later I learned about grilling, broiling, plus slow-cooking with beans, mushrooms, and…

And they tend to vote.

Most people are selling one pace while they are buying another place. That is no time to get caught up in time-consuming repairs or long negotiations. Inspectors can go look up in my attic where I have no place going because I am “not nimble”. Generally they make statements like, “One may expect to replace this in…

Make it systematic. Start with a upper-left corner of the room and dust, moving toward the right, and then vacuum your way out of the room. There’s not much to be gained by moving dust three of four times in a cleaning project.

One of my cousins had toenail fungus for the time he was in the Navy 60 or 70 years ago... Someone told him to use a bottle of Listerine (or it’s generic equivalent) and soak his feet in that. It’s certainly cheap enough to try and doesn’t smell bad.  I suppose you could use it a few times before discarding.

I steam them this way, but without a steamer basket which I cannot find. I also put a pinch of baking soda in the water because someone told me about 13 years ago it would help. It certainly won’t hurt. In it goes. 6.5 minutes for soft-cooked, about 10-11 for hard cooked - but not tough.

They didn’t add pectin to the “jello”? It’s plant matter. 

WAPO is stating that they have no editors.  Strange for a newspaper, but whatever.

This guy doesn’t understand respect boundaries. FIFY.

It involves standing there with the refrigerator door open and saying, “There’s nothing to eat here” while the dinner dishes are still being done. It’s when a kid learns about the tastiness of cold meatballs and leftover cold spaghetti.  

So, my early cooking errors are turning out to be proper technique, now that I’m old? When I forgot to put in a big chunk of butter at the start, I was onto something, and not just dumb? Maybe I should look back and see what else I didn’t ruin.

“It’s just science.”

Isn’t the goal to make sure that they are wiped out? Sure, Giuliani may not have a billion here or there, but he may have property and stocks, and if his actions killed Dominion’s earning ability, I’d surely want some serious revenge.

It’s hard to listen to someone with a combover because the hair motion is so distracting.

He’s always Pete Davidson.  That’s about all.  It’s not enough to carry a sketch and then they give him too many things to say or do.  Equal time on screen is not equal entertainment.  One the sketch makes a point and then rubs it on bait, it’s time to move on.  That must be very difficult.

I’ll try to assume that the wedding party got a big break on the price by inviting him.  One might expect a wedding speech to be about the bride and groom, and not some old, fat man with orange skin and dyed hair.

He said he didn’t beat her more than any other man beat his wife.

Terrific dessert, especially for someone absent-minded who forgot to buy something on the way home, and as long as you have some powdered sugar (it’s back in there, somewhere) it looks just like you’ve done work (be sure to get some powdered sugar on your glasses). There are people in this world who have been known to…
