Didn’t it have pumpkin in it at some point, very early on? I vaguely remember the first time I tried one, there was an odd, vegetal note at the end of each sip. But that might have been psychosomatic.

No, you make a good point. This seems more like a general “hey, you should try this” than an actual recipe or walkthrough, which is what I (and sounds like you) were expecting. I went back to the top two or three times looking for ingredients or amounts. It’s an interesting article, but without that additional informat…

The Wendy’s app is pretty fantastic, and like you said, the deals and rewards are bonkers. I’ve shaved off half the price of an because the sandwich or whatever someone wants is available either for half price or even free. The Popeye’s app is also dangerously easy to use, which is bad for impulse sandwiches. 

My young cousin has the same problem: he, a twenty-something kid from New Jersey, apparently has the same name as someone on the no-fly list, and as such gets pulled aside every time the family tries to travel. It’s been that way for years, since he was a teen, and it’s a huge pain.

I’m going to gently suggest no, and for a really boring reason: the carbonation might go bonkers. I had the brilliant idea a couple of months ago to mix some lemonade mix into my seltzer ... and then spent the next twenty minutes cleaning up a fizzy lemon volcano. So, like, maybe try it in your bathtub.

Yeah, I can sort of see why not, but the further I got in the article, the more I wanted to buy a really nice vanilla ice cream and put both on. 

I was at a bachelorette party at the end of July, and one of the other girls wore a couple of outfits from Shein. I was kind of shocked at how good they looked on her, since all I knew about it was that it was cheap fast fashion. I guess I assumed it would all look cheap, but most of it (particularly one “leather”…

These particular glitter polishes are pretty hardy, mostly because they’re large glitter pieces in clear polish, so there’s no color to chip off (I have the gold).

Truly, Earth’s most foolish program.

I keep forgetting that (a) that was a show that existed, and (b) he was in it. I loved that stupid show. That show is probably the reason I’m so willing to see anything Ryan Reynolds does – I imprinted on him as a young’n. Like a duckling.

This looks pretty terrible. The movie I really want is based on, of all things, an Amazon Prime commercial I saw the other day:

It’s a wolf turn! And I’m convinced it requires magic to complete, haha.

I can’t speak to that one specifically, but I’ve seen a bunch of episodes where I’ve said, “ohh, this is X case that was in the news a few weeks/months/years ago, only for a character to reference it by name a few lines later. Sometimes they really want you to connect those dots. 

MY PEOPLE

Allison, I have a confession and several questions. When Brad at BA did this on YouTube last year (before they imploded), I thought, oo fun! And made a small batch. The confession is that it’s been sitting on my counter, in that same jar, since then, because I couldn’t figure out where to use it and no one in my…

AMY BONEY CARROT 😂

Eduardo Jordan was a guest judge in the finale! He was edited out of the episode, just like John Besh in season 15.

Top Chef has, to my knowledge, quickly edited two episodes to cut out problematic guest judges:

I’m curious about that, because when I went to the Sistine Chapel (granted, more than a decade ago) you absolutely were not allowed to take pictures inside – never mind pose with your squad for the ‘gram.

Magazine publishing is weird as hell (coming from someone who works in mag publishing). My workplace is regularly working six weeks out from whatever the date on our cover is. Fashion mags take it to the extreme, but our subscribers frequently get their issues before the month on the cover. Why, I couldn’t tell you.
