Reviewers/adjudicators of laundry detergents (including ones published on this site) are skeptical of the benefits of “green”/eco-friendly laundry detergents. Their environmental virtues are pretty minimal and their cleaning capabilities are vastly inferior (meaning you’ll likely use more detergent, which again isn’t…

A parent-directed, organized, and led book club is NOT going to make an 11-12 year old like reading. That sounds like school, only 10 times worse. It’s school with mom as the teacher (nagging you about reading the book before the “club meeting”, organizing the meetings, directing the group discussion to see if you…

Great question. A few months ago I realized that 90% of my ig feed was a brand, seller, or sponsored by a brand or seller. A big reason for that is that, for me, instagram is mostly for creative inspiration, not for ‘keeping in-touch’ or fighting about politics/religion with friends/family (that’s what facebook is…

This inspired me to try this on popcorn. I had packets of “Oriental” and “Sriracha Chicken”.  I prefer the sriracha chicken.

And if that 2nd one doesn’t have a separate tray of crackers, I’m gonna... I don’t know, but 4 crackers total for the entire plate? That just makes me mad.

Yes! maybe what bugs me isn’t the name “cauliflower steak”, it’s how it’s used/promoted/advertised as an alternative to a dry aged grass fed 8oz ny strip. Dieters/Vegetarians/ “Big Cauliflower”/ et al. who are trying to convince us (and themselves) that a thick slice of cauliflower is a totally satisfying substitute…

I know I don’t have a beef with it.

Might be willing to give coconut milk (the kind that comes in a tin can with the fat glooped at the top, not the vaguely coconut based liquid that comes in a milk-carton) a pass.

If the school is giving students gaccounts at school, to work on school projects, at school, on school computers, then the school needs to provide adequate supervision. Schools are expected to provide at least a basic amount of oversight/guidance of their students while they are on campus; it’s not not-parenting your…

nooo... the hilarious part is almost a minute later when the toddler rolls in like a f-in gangsta, and seconds later the wife almost crashes into the door trying to get them out. It’s a few years old but dang it’s still bust-a-gut funny.

I’m just here to watch. Car seat fights have something for everyone. Is cutting off the straps of old seats a little like restaurants/groceries who justify pouring bleach on the food they toss that they don’t want poor people eating possibly contaminated food? kinda. Do poor people deserve safe, undamaged car seats…

Does “sunscreen powders” refer to products specifically marketed as sunscreens or any powder cosmetic product with an spf (the powder foundations, and “mineral veil” setting powders, etc.)? I’ve seen at least one company now market their sunscreen powder more specifically as a “re-application” product, when just a few…

And not just to parties, but especially to grieving visits/funerals/etc.... “sorry for the death in your family...now here’s something you need to take care of”
Although hostess gifts are kind of a tricky genre.  I was taught that in some cultures it’s insulting to bring wine/food, because it implies that the host…

I’m not sure when you wrote it, but your article about all skincare potions and lotions being glorified (but possibly useful) cleansers, exfollients, moisturizers, or sunscreens was a light-bulb changing moment of how I understand skincare; and another article this summer about an experiment that found using spf 100…

Also:

Even if there’s someone who is currently making that advertised position’s low pay “work” for them: look! this single, childless 25-year old with minimal student loans, still on parent’s insurance, living in a rent-controlled apartment with roommates whose jobs provide meal benefits, can technically survive on this…

after year years of being told by the culinary elites on tv/magazines how déclassé garlic presses/mincer devices are and the judgement they cast upon those who use them, I also got one.  It’s a bit of a bi*sh to clean if the garlic dries in the tiny holes, but I don’t regret it.

Please advise on most authentic marinade for chicken/steak, specific cut of steak recommended, and cheese blend (which I’ve been told is a jack/white cheddar). Possibly also brand of tortilla chips.

And the same discussion should happen with poultry.  Of all the chicken we eat, all most all of it is white breast meat.  The reason why that car-sized pack of chicken was only $4 was that it was thigh meat; chickens are basically raised for the breasts, the rest of bird is almost disposable.  Maybe we need to be…
