I’m hosting people who are, variably, vegetarian, allergic to mushrooms, and dairy-free... so yes, yes, good. AND my microwave works as a convection oven so I’m not even sure I’d need to take up room in the oven! (Gonna experiment with the microwave thing this weekend, maybe, so it’s not a horrid failure day-of.)

Depending on where you live, signalling lights might be better anyway. For example, if you need to enter a military base at any point. I know someone who learned that one the hard way.
Yeah man. My cousin was at the point where he just wanted to curl up in a snow bank and go to sleep as they were walking to find help. Scary shit.
I know there’s a lot of flippant comments, but this really ISN’T common sense for a lot of people. My uncle is a COO for a large multinational company - so, you know, someone who’s generally considered prestigious and smart. A few years ago he and his son almost died after getting stranded, unprepared, in rural…
Yes! We have loads of tiny brown spiders in the backyard, since we back to a preserve. They leap away in droves whenever we mow the lawn or whatnot. We like them. They are friends. They eat the other, more pesty things. Rock on, small brown spiders.
Cahokia not getting enough love! It’s an underappreciated (and underfunded) gem! I took my SO on a roadtrip and he was shocked he’d never heard of it. It was pretty much the largest city in North American at its peak, and by the 1950s had been turned into a subdivision. Much of it was lost, and it’s pretty sad. …
These two sources indicate 1940: http://www.loopnet.com/listing/1601-n-harlem-ave-elmwood-park-il/11293555/ and https://chicago.curbed.com/2018/5/16/17362108/sears-redevelopment-mixed-use
It is! I still don’t understand how those tickets work b/c the damn intersection is in three different jurisdictions.
Funnily enough, that location was built in 1940.
It took me a minute to realize that was my hometown Sears in the picture. I had a passing thought of “damn, all Sears really ARE that depressing”.
Goddammit, Claire, I already had a drippings jar/strainer in my amazon cart. You enabler.
I read the news about the lawsuit and went, “mm, I haven’t had LaCroix in a while” and went and bought a pack.
I’m not entirely sure what that says about my level of cynicism.
I’m still convinced the FBI or some other G-men were sitting outside my parents’ house for the unsecured wifi (this was 10 years ago or so). My parents live on the same block as a politician with well-known connections to the mob. Two nondescript sedans had sat idling in front of the house for something absurd like 2…
Grease pens are great for this! They write on literally anything and scrub off. (Only caveat is textured surfaces, they don’t come off so easy on those.)
Ikea once accidentally gave a box of our shipment to another customer. She wouldn’t give it back. They showed up to her house THREE TIMES to retrieve it and she wouldn’t answer the door, after confirming pickup time over the phone. What are you going to do with literally just the back end of a sofa, lady?! People are…
Hard same.
I couldn’t find my vanilla, but found just the plain ol’ figs + ginger pretty palatable! I used an extra-gingery ginger beer.
This eerily mirrors what I did when in the depths of my eating disorder, for sure.
I was thinking about making up a non-alcoholic version tonight (though I know this is several days late) if you want me to report back! Some online sources suggest adding a drop of (non-alcoholic, in your case) vanilla extract in place of the bourbon.
