It always makes me laugh when someone Gen Z responds to an online argument with ‘go outside, maybe touch some grass’ ....but they’re usually right and it definitely applies here.

You could get this with your Happy Meal at American McD’s? I knew this as ‘McJuice’ during my Canadian childhood and you only could have it out of a large red cooler/dispenser while playing some kind of field sport. In that context though - manna from heaven.

Re: pizza rolls - I have to show up for the Finnish diaspora and point out that queen Beatrice Ojakangas actually invented them, while working for Jeno Paulucci. Probably wouldn’t have brought it up if it wasn’t directly stated in the text, but since it was, here you go!

I used to work at a place with a vegan pizza that had so many veggies it was basically a (roasted) salad - lots of kale, cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes, red onion, roasted garlic and olives on a tomato sauce base with a nice glug of olive oil. It was a contender for my favourite one, and I think it worked because the…

I’d order it out of curiosity, but I don’t think I’d go to the trouble of making it. My palate for salt is very developed (ie. MORE) but the Doritos don’t call out to me like they seem to for other chip fiends. I wonder what this would be like with a salt & vin kettle chip? 

I got a marigold-yellow nail polish a couple of months ago when I was in Shoppers legitimately, ‘essentially’....and it’s small but it’s just so delightful. The pandemic is bringing out interesting psychology in folks - both the reckless defiance of the anti-mask types but also the overbearing concern-scold tattle…

Oh MAN I posted almost the same comment, but without the tantalizing picture.

RYE.

I think I’m Book Person-adjacent. I like to read but I don’t bring it up often unless I’ve encountered an especially good book that a specific person in my life would like. My husband and I have a decent collection pooled together, and I find a big full shelf aesthetically comforting (vs. like ‘decor objects’ or a…

Yes, this is the only thing Goodreads is useful for! It’s a personal tracker / goal setting thing for me too....but I’m only 1 book ahead of schedule for 2021, booooo.

My Polish coworker made some to bring in, because she’d been talking about it and we had the same question as you. The answer is holy shit YES, it is GOOD. I went home and made my own batch literally that night. I’m not usually a freak for pickles but I love a good soup, especially any styles that are creamy or tangy,…

I’ve been under the impression that the queens are very, very isolated during the filming of regular seasons of Drag Race - i.e. not allowed out at all besides going to set - so I suspect they’re functionally like a bubble? I feel like I remember seeing a shot of a reduced number of crew as well, all in masks / 2m…

A few people in my life have asked how I’ve managed to keep cooking/eating as well as always while cutting my frequency of store visits in half. Meal planning deliberately is part of it (meals with the delicate greens first week, meals with cabbage/kale/squash the second)....but literally everything in this article is…

It’s been very weird being on both sides of this fence in 2020. I’m a PhD candidate, but I also worked part-time at a bakery (i.e. essential). The way people in the different realms of my working life reacted was interesting and supports your point.

My mom would probably eventually give me the one she has, but she kind of hit a weird middle ground between your mom’s ‘these are tacky’ stance and their general popularity - she does have one, but it’s PURE WHITE. With all-blue lights! I’ve never seen another like it. TBH I’m not really sure where I stand on the…

You see, for, again, multiple Christmases running, I have wanted one of the retro light-up Chrismas trees that were a ubiquitous feature of homes in the 1970s and ’80s

I have a very quality, full-sized food processor bought in the last 10 years....and I also have a tiny, ancient one with two settings: ‘chop’ and ‘grind’. I don’t know why but using the tiny one to ‘grind’ just makes the results hit different. Bless my tiny machine and may its gears never die.

Clicking this link, I was ready to be all like ‘blah blah I’m hungry midday I NEED lunch’ but it’s not an argument against eating around 12-1, it’s an argument against ‘Lunch’ as a category (i.e. $17 salads/grain bowls.) I can agree with that - nobody needs to be paying that kind of money for that kind of mediocrity.

I have been limping along ABD for too long now, with very little motivation to write up but with fear that I’d regret dropping out keeping me from committing to that option. Literally a week and a half ago, my advisor fueled the ‘keep going’ fire by suggesting that the authority that ‘Dr.’ would give me would make it…

Yeah, that caught my eye too....mukluks have a style unto themselves and are better than the ultra-plain squared-off Ugg classic shape. They were *also* trendy 2009-2012 or so, but they’re distinct, plus mukluks are actually intended to be worn outside when it’s cold, haha! Leona Lewis’s boots are also not Uggs…
