I have recently developed a strange allergy to apples where my nose itches like crazy for like 30 minutes after I eat them (raw, anyway), but I might risk it for these.

“If they are still capable of hope and choice they haven’t lost what the show tries to land with us.”

I’ve actually brought Gwen’s cheese ball to a few parties this year, and it has been a huge hit. The green onions in place of the parsley are a real winner.

You can’t go wrong with pepper jelly and cream cheese. I have a raspberry habanero jam that I got at the farmers’ market that I use. A little sweeter, but still just divine with the cream cheese.

“This was tremendously exciting to me, as I enjoy fried chicken almost as much as I enjoy setting things on fire.”

“They then pulled out of two subsequent projects, Star Wars and a Game of Thrones continuation.”

This just poked me right in the heart. Both of my maternal grandparents suffered from dementia, and while I was too young to have participated in something like this, I can completely see how it would have helped tremendously. What a wonderful idea, and a wonderful man who thought of implementing it.

This was my favorite tweet about the whole deal:

100%. People would have dunked on the skinny woman’s life being “changed” no matter what, but if the actress had just played this a bit differently (or the director directed her to play it differently), I think it wouldn’t have been nearly as remarkable. But after she gets the Peloton, at no point does she look like…

Good call on Alfie Allen. Theon’s character arc was one of the few things GoT got right in its final seasons, and his performance throughout was absolutely outstanding. 

Ah, thank you!! I must have missed that article last year, or didn’t remember it. So happy to see my beloved chocolate covered Joe-Joes in their rightful spot at #1. :)

YOU GUYS. The dark chocolate covered peppermint Joe-Joes are the best fucking thing in the world. I’m extremely sad that you did not include them in your lineup only because it means you didn’t get to experience their divine deliciousness. I buy like 2 extra boxes before Christmas so I can continue to eat them through…

It’s a shame the best Game of Thrones subreddit r/ASOIAF didn’t make the list...I think percentage wise they grew enormously this year, though I don’t think they have as many subscribers as the other two on the whole.

The only one I remember is from the board game.

I love dark greens and am always looking for new ways to make them, so thank you for this! I’ll definitely pick some chicory up this weekend!

HOW DARE YOU. I’m from Nebraska. :)

We also play cribbage and pitch. It’s just very relaxing, except when pitch gets competitive. :)

Recently (since my sister had children and a bunch of the extended family went their own way) my brother and I have been having low-key Christmas with my dad and stepmom. We had kind of thought we had enough left over from various other Christmas celebrations to get us through, but it turned out we were all sick of…

Yeah, we actually don’t accept hard copies of transcripts or degrees for that reason...they’re too easy to fake now.

I work in executive search, and we verify the education of all candidates as soon as they’re at the stage where they’ll actually meet with the client. 99% of them check out just fine, but when we do get a lie, it’s almost always something to do with claiming to have a degree from somewhere when you actually did the…
