Excellent tips-- thank you! I made it once and that silverskin squicked me out, but I’m game to go for it again. ;)

I’ve been meaning for years to master pork tenderloin. It’s a dish I really enjoy but feel too intimidate to make. You’ve made it sound dead simple and approachable here-- thank you! 

He’s walking home from work in a Texas blizzard. Yeah, I watched the video. Does he look like he’s tripping? He just wanted to go home. They have nothing better to do in a snowstorm than arrest someone for walking in the streets because the sidewalks aren’t shoveled. This was a choice. 

If he were white they’d have given him one of their jackets and driven him home. Absolutely unacceptable that this keeps happening and half the country wants to pretend racism is ‘over.’ 

I FINALLY got my husband to start playing last year, but we skipped this weekend’s event. The previous one was a lot of fun, though. I have a plethora of Snorlax if they ever make long-distance trades a thing (though I realize that’s not the same as catching in the wild)!

I bought a comforter for my husband and me, then 2 more to send to Mom & sis, who are freezing in Midwest. What a deal!!

And from the rape accusation that funnily enough seemed to ‘fade away.’ (Gee, did his dad being head of NYPD have anything to do with it?)

Yep. My mother, who has always been religious and conservative, is now unrecognizable. She posts about masks impinging on her freedom, how they SPREAD COVID, etc. I am a health producer who speaks to infectious disease doctors every day, but she believes what she heard on The 700 Club or some unattributed post on FB…

I can’t wait to try this! We can’t compost where we are, so I hate just dumping the grounds. Double use makes me happy. I’ll probably use a few tablespoons, because our apt is quite spacious AND I don’t mind if it does smell like coffee. Thank you!! 

Ugh. I moved from Brooklyn to LI and the amount of Trump luv on parade.. My in-laws have a small Biden-Harris sign in their yard amid a sea of MULTIPLE Trump flags (one house has something like 7 flags!??!) I worry for them.

Her ‘apology’ also included ‘if,’ which cancels out the whole damn thing. “IF” I offended anyone. Ugh. I know people who work(ed) there and they’ve been saying this same thing for over a decade. I started getting turned off by her mean-spirited scare ‘pranks.’ 

Smoked Tabasco on hard boiled eggs is one of my favorite snacks!!

“Borderline” criminal???? 

I have everything to make this right now!! Dessert for tonight: SORTED!!

I’m still mad they got rid of the Meximelt! 

I always forget what’s in my freezer, but I would just have to work around that by putting a sticky note on the door! Love the idea of saving leftover Manhattans for another day. 

I’m always stuck with a shriveled lemon half or two these days, and before I toss them, I use them to clean the microwave- really does work, and I feel like at least those unused halves don’t completely go to waste. 

I think about this skit all the time! “What if this...isn’t FOR us!?” (Minds explode)

Wow—that’s a great mix! I will have to google Altamira Oriole. We have house finches, though I hear them more than I see them, house sparrows, song sparrows, mourning doves, cardinals (so easily spooked!), blue jays (I call them beautiful jerks), common grackles, and yesterday our first two robins! They mainly stick…

I bought a 5 dollar clear bird feeder and it has made working from home immensely more enjoyable. I am still struggling with the female house finch/song sparrow IDs myself. I have a pair of house finches that sing their hearts out on one side of our apt building, but seem to be avoiding my feeder as of late. (I tried…
