The Selectric was a fine machine, and an amazing piece of technology. I can still hear its clattering song and see its tireless type ball magically twisting and turning. Seriously, anybody who typed for a living on a manual knew the agony of those cuts that opened up under the nail after hours of pounding. You had no…

I totally disagree. I think that the clothing suited their characters, and that the show did a good job with the time they were working with (early 2000s, not a great time for fashion, but definitely a time when those scarves were everywhere) and also growing with them - Rory’s wardrobe in particular. Rory, at the…

Look, he may not cook as much anymore, but I’ve brought this up before and I’ll bring it up again: the Congo episode of Parts Unknown demonstrates his cooking chops for all time as far as I’m concerned. The dude make Coq au Vin on a rickety boat with no electricity and slaughtered live chickens to do it.

He was the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles before he was famous. It was his New Yorker article and subsequent book Kitchen Confidential about being a chef and working in the culinary world that made him famous. Since then he’s become more a food writer and celebrity eater, as you put it, but that’s not where he…

I hate to be *that* coconut oil person, however it makes for a dirt cheap, all natural, moisturizing eye makeup remover.

Anyone else wish they could watch this whole thing go down behind the scenes West Wing style?

Better yet, the quote (as it pertains to the United States) actually comes from John Winthrop’s 1630 sermon to the original pilgrims. In context, it’s meant to say, “The whole world is watching to see if we can turn this land into a Utopia as immigrants, and no matter what hardships come, we need to support each other…

Except aren’t they actually legumes?

I just reflexively pulled my very thick, below boob length hair out of a pony tail as I was reading this.

That’s not grammar, it's a style guide thing.

And later it was discovered that said accident’s cause wasn’t related the Concorde.

Concord had an excellent safety record, only one of them ever crashed in 27 years of service. The problem was noise and that they too small to be economical as a commercial airliner.

I love that movie! “The calla lilies are in bloom again....”

The best defense is a good offense. Favorite salads, go!!!

are you kidding me corn tortillas are the OGs of tortillas thats what real mexicans who invented tortillas eat get the f*ck out of here.

If I had a quarter for every person who says I should get this procedure done on my hair I would be rich enough to run on the Republican ticket. I have NO idea what people have against curly hair. It isn’t like I’m growing snakes or tentacles from my scalp and my curls sure as hell won’t give me cancer.

Could easily be a case of “she loves pancakes, we haves personal joke about her love of pancakes.” And he asked before ordering to see if it would be kosher s not a biggie imo.

any dish of “wings” is usually a 50/50 mix of wings and drumsticks

I loved the original as well, and still do. Jerry Orbach! Sam Waterston! Chris Noth! Also loved every season of Criminal Intent. But SVU was a big fat nope from day one. It always seemed so obviously "HEY LOOK, LOOK AT THIS CREEPY LURID SEXUAL STUFF." And...ew. One or two episodes per season that focus on a rape or…
