Like the Bidens’ carefully constructed casually redesign of the White House

I lucked out at a greenmarket this weekend and got a quart of sour cherries; I’ve already made a galette (and just eaten a bunch), but I wonder if they would work in a small batch of this. I happen to like the tartness of the fruit, but so far I’m in the minority of friends and family. Do you (and the commentariat)…

I’m not usually a big fan of the Daily Beast, but this is one of the most well-researched articles I’ve seen in a long time.

I never want to see the phrase “sexy Zoom parties” ever again. 

I actually did that by accident a year or so ago – Amazon Prime gives you one free ebook a month, and the one I chose ended up not only being the first in a series, but Amazon was offering it a week before it was released. So when I devoured it in a weekend and went to look for the next volume, it turned out that I…

I’m glad someone is bringing up his horrible behavior on PR. I remember hearing his name a lot over a few years after his season, and I kept googling in disbelief that that obnoxious contestant was actually designing for famous people.

Absolutely this. When my (tiny) office finally broke down and got a coffee pot, it was immediately (and silently) agreed that it would be a Keurig, because the few women refused to take the cleaning and refilling responsibility, and it absolutely would have shaken out that way. Pods are easy and cheaper in bulk, and…

Okay, I had to google “mermaid documentary,” because how could I not? I think I missed that particular adventure. Are you talking about Mermaids: The Body Found? Is it worth watching for the amusement factor, or is it dumb/silly?

I get this. My cousin, whom I love dearly, is getting married in September and her bachelorette is in late July. Everyone’s already vaccinated, and it’s actually going to be even smaller than I thought, and I’m still wary.

Ugh, stevia. These sound really fun, but I just cannot get on board with that fake chemical taste. Bummer! 

I loved the stupid first one. I saw it the same way, on some cable station on a random Saturday, and had a full five minutes of, “this is about what? Starring who??” and have since described it to several people as “the violent Ryan Reynolds/Sam Jackson road trip movie you didn’t know you wanted. With Gary Oldman!”…

“I start thinking before I speak,” was how Ziwe summed up her approach

Danny, if you (or anyone else) are still interested a week later, I did make the Lifehacker version again this Saturday (when some family visited – and we still had leftovers for lunch today). The gravy definitely helps, as doe the frittata/casserole-style cooking. That’s a 10-inch wide, 4-inch deep cast iron skillet,…

I don’t have a specific video to recommend, but RawBeautyKristi, Jackie Aina, and Samantha Ravndahl, all on YouTube, have all taught me more about makeup in the last couple of years than anyone else in my entire 33 years. Plus, Sam almost exclusively uses cream products as a personal preference, so she’s likely to…

^{I realize this is an unpopular opinion, but I just can’t do these low- to mid-rise heels. For me, it’s either flats or four inches, no in-between. I’ve tried on so many cute kitten heels, and I just can’t walk in them. That Natalie pump is cute, though..} 

Looking at Trisha’s version versus the Lifehacker one, and comparing both to the images above, I think my most persistent thought is, why is the bowl version so dry? Accounting for the fact that AA’s is family-style, rather than single-serving, she at least has you make a sausage gravy, which probably does a lot of…

When dalgona coffee was all the rage last year, I grabbed a jar of Bustelo instant; even though I’m not making the dalgona as much anymore, it’s pretty good for those extremely lazy days, and probably this.

I literally had this conversation with my parents last night, and am about to send them the NYT article. My mom, who works at a school and with teachers at other schools, was telling my dad and me that one of her coworkers got a call from a parent warning them that ACS might be calling the coworker, because a kid got…

Didn’t someone on staff already make this?

I’ve been on one cruise in my life, between my junior and senior years of high school. It was aggressively fine, especially since I wasn’t old enough to drink, which I feel like might have helped. Anyway, on the second or third day my family and I ran into my honors English teacher at the pool, which pretty much put a…
