Charleston Receipts (solid cookbook) came out in 1950 and my 90 year old neighbor in NC still called them receipts a few years ago. I have a feeling Coppola is using “recipe” because modern movie goers aren’t familiar with the term “receipts” unless Southern or into food in general.

It was definitely still “receipt” during the Civil War—-I’m pretty sure it didn’t become recipe until the 1960s, and even later in some parts of New England and rural northern towns. I’ve heard my grandmother mention receipt as recipe before—-she doesn’t use it anymore, but as an example of a “book of receipts that…

Someone yelled a mean, fat shaming thing at me from their car two weeks before my wedding. I was walking from the gym, in my gym clothes, to the restaurant where we were having our rehearsal dinner to confirm the menu. I cried for days. My husband was with me.

I will do anything for love,

I’m still stunned this segment aired.

This is pornography

Fellow Canadian, and I send something similar earlier today: this would all be hilarious if it weren’t alternately pathetic and terrifying.

Yeah, that one on here was so irritating. It’s come up a lot elsewhere too. But our softwood lumber agreement has already been kaput for years. Anybody who thought that wasn’t going to be a thing was an obvious idiot. And then they try and tell us that we are idiots. Would be amusing if we weren’t all fucked all to…

Obligatory.

Poor Morena, stuck in storyline hell on Got Ham, a show so ridiculous I can’t even begin to describe it.

this is my personal nightmare

in the land of My People the point of the onion skins is to attach them piece by piece to the egg by wrapping thread or yarn around the egg the same time, maybe throw a small birch leaf in there too, and that creates funky patterns when boiled.

If the shoe fits...

Yeah, um everyone in this thread is making me really glad I’m already fat. Like the pressure to stay thin almost sounds worse than the pressure to lose weight.
