None of us are complaining about people adding a little extra salt to food we’ve prepared; we’re complaining about people adding it without first tasting it.

So very true about fresh local eggs being the best. There is just no comparison. I had friends who used to keep chickens, and those are the best omelets I’ve ever had in my life.

My husband’s issues with any kind of chile made me sad at first because no Indian or Thai, but I just ask out friends when I get a mad craving for that kind of thing. He understands why I occasionally abandon him at dinner time.

Oh that would kill me. My husband can’t do any kind of chile pepper because they make his horrible, almost covers his entire body, eczema even worse, and that was hard to adjust to. He does at least like things like ginger and garlic in his food though so I’ve just adjusted the kinds of things I use to season our…

I love going to the gym and lifting, but there are other things in life too. I had to unfollow a friend on Facebook because she was constantly posting about her bootcamps and leg days and “fitspiration” quotes. Ugh!

Any time past Germ Theory and universal suffrage is alright by me.

The Romans also had rather sophisticated heating systems for the homes of the wealthy.

This very much this!

Trust me the movie would have done a far more efficient job of killing you.

I’ve honestly never made red velvet cake with cocoa in it. The version I got from my mother has vinegar and buttermilk.

If I minded bad puns I wouldn’t have married my husband.

Tell her about pasteurized eggs.

Who serves plaintain with the peel on?
