Brown butter definitely has its applications – like the comment above where the person toasted bread crumbs in it, you’d really notice the difference there. In baking, it really depends on what you’re making. I personally don’t find I notice a difference in chocolate chip cookies or something similar with a lot of…

They do it every year! When their whole slate of fake products appears, you can vote on which ones you want to be real, and they pick a handful of them to actually create. 

Though it should be noted that Cuomo is currently facing a criminal misdemeanor charge for forcible touching

Someone in my demographic – an 18-35 white female, presumably – has been giving out my phone number to campaign efforts in the mid-Atlantic and midwest. I know the text- and phone-bank people aren’t at fault, but if I get one more phone call asking if “Patty” would like more information on donating or volunteering for…

I once bought a three-pack of house-made chocolate chip cookies from the deli where I regularly got lunch (before WFH), and when I was eating them at my desk that afternoon, the third one was actually an oatmeal raisin. I considered suing for emotional distress.

have the same skeleton of a story (warrior prince learns that his idealized father had a dark history after his death and must face the ramifications of that history personified by a new family member usurping their throne)

Jezebel is literally hiring for a senior features editor right now.

You seem like the kind of person who will understand the train of thought I had the other day.

Aly Raisman – although I think that was another internet wish. They posted their dogs playing together on social media. I think it was established that they were friends, but that was it.

He was my first thought too! I feel like he looks a bit more like Desi Arnaz, too.

Oh man. If you can – you should get your hands on Tom Hiddleston as Coriolanus. It was WILD.

It sounds like the singalong versions of Rocky Horror you often see: the movie playing in a theater, with people singing and acting live in front of it. 

One of the best (or at least, better) Macbeth adaptations I saw a few years ago was called Scotland, PA. It was a contemporary musical, set in a fast food restaurant in rural Pennsylvania. Very strange, but it worked, in a weird way. (It was also apparently a movie in 2001? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265713/)

Frozen banana ice cream is also really good with a scoop of peanut butter, or a squirt of honey, or any combination of honey, PB, and/or cocoa powder. Now if only I could remember to throw them in the freezer instead of leaving them on my counter. 

What kind of banana cookies do you make? I make banana bread all the time, but I branched out into cookies a couple of weeks ago for a first birthday and they were a huge bust, hah. 

Her name is Vail! She’s a security dog at the Met.

I love Jackie Aina – I think she’s beautiful, smart, and talented, and I’ve commented here many times when people ask about beauty gurus and Youtubers to follow. But this outfit ... it doesn’t do it for me. (Though it might just be this photo. On her Instagram it was a really cute little Barbie moment, but here it…

I honest to God don’t understand how they made him look SO BAD in this movie. I live in New York, and through a series of events ended up at Shakespeare in the Park a couple of weeks ago. To my fangirl shock, Ben Platt and a couple of friends were in line to pick up tickets a few people ahead of me and my mom. It was…

Plus Fahrenheit 451! Fantastic movie.

I honestly don’t remember where or when I first saw it, but I do remember thinking it was so weird, and yet so good, and that it had professional bad guy Rufus Sewell as a protagonist! It’s so unknown, though – any time I try to describe it to someone, I feel like I hallucinated the whole thing. I’m so happy to see it…
