The ones that are labelled ‘the works’ (I think they’re the yellow cans) are the most passable of the canned Caesar varieties....but they’re still somehow less good somehow than the laziest version you made yourself.

I used to live in a city that has an excellent, somewhat expensive, all vegetarian buffet-style restaurant. Running in the university-idealist, activist-type circles that I did at that point, I knew a looooot of vegetarians/vegans, so it was a regular birthday/celebration spot. I also dated this dude who was vegan,…

My partner is the banana fan in our household, I eat maybe 1 a month, tops. We usually only buy 2-3 a week to reflect this reality, but there will still be one left sometimes and he feels he has to freeze them. When we get up to 6-7 or so I take them all out and put them in the compost....I’m not sure he’s ever…

I think there’s a middle ground. When you’re in a place like Paris for example, the bistro on the corner by your accommodations is probably more ‘touristy’ than somewhere outside the city centre, but it’s also probably a lot more relaxed/enjoyable than waiting forever for a crepe near the Eiffel Tower.

Listening to “The Archer” via the embed right now and I like it, but I’m a huge sucker for those extremely-ripped-from-the-Chromatics sort of atmospherics. Feels like a midpoint between them and Lorde’s first album.

Haha, had exactly the same thought. I have definitely demanded that we get panzos at a certain time of night, many many times. They’re usually a bit bigger than this article describes in the parts of Ontario I’ve been around, but not by much. One hungry, soon-to-be-happy person could take one down no problem.

The last time I was at Wind they had these grilled baby octopus skewers that we ordered as an afterthought, ‘why not’ kind of thing in our first round, then ordered 2 portions for each of two subsequent rounds. I think they might have been a special but they were great.

There’s a tiny flash at like 1:10 or so where I was like, oh, there’s Charlize....but it’s uncanny.

What the fuck.......yeah, the exchange rate will hurt my heart (just did it, 1.13 million CAD) but a whole ISLAND with a 4 BDR, RENOVATED HOUSE is listed for 850k???

I work at a university in a research lab. A former colleague would have episodes of Friends playing on his phone while he did really monotonous sampling work, and it seemed to work pretty well for him! I listen podcasts or music while doing similar tasks so I can’t really judge, but I do find this phenomenon…

The only time I thought about crashing a wedding was the time I worked for a business that occasionally did catering and put together a HUGE order for a wedding, like at least triple the size of what we’d usually do (which were fairly big orders to start with). My coworkers and I were standing there looking at it…

Canadian, from Ontario - we call that a palmier. They were relatively easy to find when I lived in a city with a number of French/French-inspired bakeries, but not that common elsewhere.

Oh god, you’re speaking to my anxieties with this. I bought my dress in more or less the exact right size, but at different times in my life I’ve tended towards either stress-eating OR stress-nausea and I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE I’LL HAVE! And either would cause problems!! Fingers crossed for neither or both this…

I’m usually digging in those freezers for the Oreo ice cream sandwich or an orange Creamsicle. Both are classic.

Does it count if you had 4 pairs of the exact same high waisted black skinny jeans and wore them for a minimum of 2/7, up to 7/7, days per week in cooler seasons for the last 8 years? I also bought 5 copies of the same $15 H&M dress in 2014, of which I still own 3, which are the most tolerable thing I own for days…

#1 is extremely my shit and I’m tall enough for menswear......I wonder how bougie it is and if it’s still for sale....

The big white sneakers and white socks are coming back among fashion babies. I can’t bring myself to sign on to the aesthetic personally but I find myself in Cool Neighbourhoods in Big Cities often enough and I can vouch for this IRL. It’s like the one piece of that ‘normcore’ thing that stuck.

Oh my godddd yesssssssssssss. I wasn’t interviewed like you (I think that’s very cool fwiw), but Jia and Emma’s time at the Hairpin coincided with a period where I had 3 hours of daily commute to fill and I read ALL OF IT. It started to feel like they were personally keeping me company on that train, weird as that is?

I think the one place where I have a quibble with this argument and this is a very ‘wah, oh poor poor me’, tiny violin kind of thing .....is that I get 80% of the way to ‘adhering to society’s beauty standards’ with very little struggle. It’s luck! It absolutely benefits me in a lot of arenas.

I’ve been doing this with CSA herbs for awhile now!! It kind of clicked for me the first time I made gremolata - like, oh, this is a very flexible formula. Last winter I also made a Bon Appetit recipe with a cilantro-based ‘miso pesto’ a whole bunch of times, would highly recommend. (right here)
