What helps with carbonara is to temper the eggs. Mix about a half cup of the boiling noodle water in with the egg and cheese mixture before combining all the ingredients. This allows the eggs to heat up more slowly so they don’t scramble.
To me, it’s kind of like the difference between baseball and soccer. If I walk past my local park, I almost always see a group of people playing soccer. After all, it’s easy. You get a ball, a certain number of folk and have at it. Everyone runs after the ball and has a whale of a time.
Yeah, if this wasn’t a Mike Schur/Dan Goor production I’d be a lot more worried about Jake and Amy pairing up. The Ben and Leslie relationship on Parks and Rec was done perfectly, IMO, and I see no reason that this would be different.
We could easily solve the mass incarceration problem by not incarcerating *non* violent offenders. Stop jailing people for being addicted to drugs, failing to pay court fines, being homeless etc. so when guys like this show up, we can lock him up and throw away the key.
Meryl Streep’s kitchen bothered me so much because it is MAGNIFICENT yet a key plot line in the movie was how much she hated it. I would harm people to have that kitchen. Sigh.
I think it's also, like, the social media/reality TV effect. I'm about to go full old lady on you: I think that more than wanting to create memories, these are people who want to document their starring role. I don't think there's anything sentimental or genuine about it. I think it's an ode to the ego.
Now is as good a time as any to air the number one grievance I have with Jezebel. Chiefly: they don’t feature women doing stuff. There’s a lot about celebs and there’s a lot about clothes and makeup and stupid MRA frat moments, but there are precious few articles on women actually making strides in their fields and…
Well I suppose that’s a feather in your cap.
Guys, I’m like, so broken up that I won’t be able to marry an angry misogynist.
Excuse to posts a lovely wedding picture of my mother, about to celebrate their 50th anniversary next month? Accepted! Say hello to October of 1965.
As an Old with actual, medically-measurable and imageable inflammatory processes (like elevated ESR and RF), I’m calling bullshit on all of this. Extreme cold makes my arthritic joints hurt like hell - one reason I moved away from a region that has extreme cold. Eating/not eating the current bugaboo of foods won't…
Things our mothers and sisters had to hear.
I think it depends on where and when and what the context is. I know this is hard and requires us to think about who we’re speaking to, but it really depends. Don’t call Japanese by their first name unless asked to do so. Do call Americans by their first names in general if they’re on equal footing. Depends on the…
I accept it from my son’s friends, but it makes me cringe. I didn’t grow up that way. I realize that they don’t mean any disrespect. It is hard to get used to. I’d rather they call me “hey you.”
I don’t object to increased formality in general. I don’t mind being ‘ma’am’-ed, ever. My last name is unusual, and although easy to pronounce, its weirdness makes people short-circuit straight to calling me by my first name, even when that’s decidedly inappropriate (i.e. in court, for fuck’s sake.) So I disagree that…
This is what’s wrong with America right here. This. Not Bristol Palin herself, but what she represents — the fact that so many stunningly, proudly pig-ignorant, determinedly undereducated, information-resistant people think they know enough about anything to tell others how they should think and behave.
You have to love how teaching girls “confidence” is on the menu while teaching boys about college, careers and salaries. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if the girls had the opportunity to learn about planning for their future, they’d be a lot more confident. Radical idea, I know.
