Yeah, I live in Italy and even my (very few) Berlusconi loving family members here shake there head at this doofus. Most of my family here are Commies and my family in the States are liberal, so we don’t have much holiday arguing, thank god.

I’m Italian and I don’t particularly like lasagna either, but this? I’m fairly certain my Sicilian grandmother would come back and haunt me specifically because I made this. Good god.

Wow, that’s a lot of pan fry time.

While I do make my cranberry sauce from scratch for the big day, I have some ‘canberry’ on hand for leftover turkey sandwiches. For some reason, turkey, stuffing and canberry is my go-to. The homemade stuff just doesn’t cut it Friday’s unavoidable sandwich.

If I hear one more person spout ‘All Lives Matter’ I’m gonna start throwing hay makers.

My in-laws all live in Paradise. My brother in law and his wife had enough time to grab the dog and the cat and get out. Had to leave his snakes and chickens - the yard next door was already on fire when they left. He said it was insane. So incredibly sad. My husband’s parents are in their 90s and have lost…

OF COURSE Jamie Oliver thinks this is a great technique. Do you think he cleans his own oven?

I actually love homemade marshmallows (hate store bought) BUT....I will only make them when enough time has passed that I forget the horror of the last time and it sounds like a good idea. (I am a trained pastry chef)

I remember watching that the first time it was said on air with my father, who was a former beatnik/SF 1960s jazz music hipster (he was fucking COOL is what I’m trying to say) and we looked at each other with our mouths open and then burst into gales of stomach aching laughter. You just didn’t say that shit on TV back…

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

Right down to the fact that the US is the only country to call cannabis ‘marijuana’

Because Jebus.

As a screaming SF liberal (is that even a thing anymore?) and a native Californian old enough to remember when “Governor Moonbeam” vetoed the death penalty, let me say “GO JERRY!” I don’t agree with him on everything, but this is something I am 100% behind.

I am a bird owner. I have had parrots for 26 years (since they were 3 months old). Both my Amazon and my Macaw DETEST seagulls and pigeons. We laugh about my macaw being such a princess the way she reacts to them.

But with that you need the qualifier: open faced.

and yet it made me laugh.

I feel the same way you do however I can give you the Cliff Notes version (are those even still a thing?) of your response which is closer to my feeling overall:

Is that like a Fizzy? You were supposed to put them in water to make a flavored drink but I don’t think I know anyone who actually did that.

Chocolite was the one I wish I could find these days.

Wintergreen only and this is true. (Childhood experiment in a dark closet)
