Yes! Another member of team savory pumpkin.

It's actually rooted in an old French technique or trend to stuff birds and meats in other birds and meats. Cause, you know, French. There's an old recipe for rôti sans pareil ("incomparable roast")—a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge,…

I was in Seattle, where they're banned, and had a whim to go to a farmer's market and get peaches. One of the peaches was too soft and leaked through the paper bag, and OMG mess. So I asked at a stand if I could have a plastic bag and got the nastiest, snidest response of "we don't ALLOW plastic bags here" I honestly…

Oh god. I live in DC now and haven't had Imo's for years. Curse you for making me think of it, especially as I'm PMSing. Worth the flight, methinks...

Can I share?

you say it like it's a bad thing!

I love deep dish too, but I can't help picturing a calorie counter rapidly rolling along like the damned national debt calculator.

As a St. Louisan, I approve this comment.

I take it you haven't heard of Cherpumple? That's the mother of all pie/cakes.

Yeah. My dog has a really sad, debilitating problem where she can't hear at night. Because I'll tell her to get off the bed when she's stealing blankets and she can't even hear it, the poor dear.

Yep. My fiance decided to let the cats drink his cereal milk, and now he can't ever have a peaceful morning without them climbing all over him to get at it. I warned him. He didn't listen.

Your dog is a great human trainer :)

As far as the wedding goes - god DAMN those are beautiful people. Congrats to them - they seem lovely.

The right to attend any event ever is actually not a recognized human right.

Sweet googly moogly, what the hell are they wearing?

Looking forward to the new show, because if the past is any indication, Shona Rhimes' shows only have a good 2-3 years in them before they devolve into total camp and hysteria. I gave up on Grey's Anatomy a few years ago after it got ridiculous, and Scandal is quickly wearing on me with the same recycled shrieky…

I feel like the author is so fixated on discrediting the pageant itself (a totally worthy endeavor) that she's grasping at straws. John Oliver did a spectacular job of discrediting it this week with actual research.

Exactly. It was terrible writing. Some bad things reportedly happened at a sorority when she was also at a sorority (not necessarily even the same one). I mean, hell, I was in Washington, DC last week when some crazy person jumped over the fence to the White House. How can you be sure it wasn't me?

Eh, but it also lends validity to the idea that hazing is wrong, and the "I was impressionable and everyone else was doing it" excuse just doesn't fly.
