Oh man, I was hoping someone else loved Epoisses! I introduced my aunt (a fellow stinky-cheese lover) to it a few years ago, and now I bring some whenever we go there for Thanksgiving.

My sister sent me this picture from the article this morning, and if I have to live with its existence, so do you.

This morning my sister sent me this photo from the article, and if I have to live with its existence, so do the rest of you. (warning, the second slide is a video of the process)

It’s not even that he looks too old – they’ve done something to his face that makes him look like he’s had horrible plastic surgery. That header image barely looks like him.

I have so many questions about this production.

Allison, maybe you can answer a slightly off-topic question for me.

Oh oh – I made koshari once, in the early internet days. I loved it, my family loved it, it was a big hit, which means naturally I immediately lost the recipe. Do you have one that you make or like, or that you can recommend? I’ve googled it, but it seems like there are thousands of small variations.

Nick, the youngest (is he considered the hot one?), has several Broadway shows under his belt – he did the How to Succeed revival a few years ago as well. I think he only did the Les Mis anniversary concert, though, not an actual production. I like his voice, and I assume he can dance (since he’s a Disney kid), but I…

Was that this week? Did Jake Paul get pummeled into paste?

I think he’s referring to these new rules, just announced a couple of weeks ago:

Are they Lauren Conrad? The last time I was actually in a Kohl’s, I remember seeing some of her brand there. 

I love those! I have a box kicking around here somewhere. I sliced up a lemon the last time I opened them and gave my dad and sister some. It was wild!
