When I visited the Field Museum this summer, the water they had came in aluminum bottles. The plus for me is that it ensures that the drink is super cold when you get it. 

Family = dip away to heart’s content

I’m actually happy to discover that the one I spend the most time in is in the top 10 overall and that the other two in my city are fairly high up there. 

I saw this last night and barring the fact that I feel like there’s a stretch of the film that goes too long without an interruption from Savage, I thought that it was both an interesting example in what editing and PG-13 boundaries can do to a film AND overall pretty funny (both with the Savage parts and the thing…

What is with KFC and their weird idea that we want anything other than food to smell like their ‘food’ item?!?!?!?!?!?

I know that being in the thing doesn’t matter because it’s just.... It still annoys me though that Radiohead didn’t get in during their first year of eligibility.

I’m honestly shocked that neither business wanted some concrete assurance of payment before delivering the food.

I mean on one hand that could totally be a fabrication to keep the movie from looking poorly, but on the other, I genuinely believe that Andrews would do that. I know that actors are not always their persona, but she’s always struck me as someone who does.

If it’s the Eartha Kitt original, I think that she brings enough playfulness to the song that it’s not 100% terrible. Every single other version, you’re absolutely correct.

The thinkpieces that come out every year on this very topic always make me shake my head and go “this is why people hate ‘feminists’.”

Without going into what I think of Shatner, I have to say that it annoys me that people never consider the context of the song, both the era when it was written and who actually wrote it. Nonmarried couples spending time alone together without a chaperone may not be a source of gossip today, but we’re not that far…

What did she think it was??!?!?!?!

Not for lack of trying on Leo DiCaprio’s part....

If your problem with normal apple pie is not being a fan of oversweetness, then this very much may be the pie for you. It’s sweet, but that’s curbed nicely by the use of sour cream.

This is actually a pretty foolproof recipe, especially if you just go with a ready-made crust. The worst that you’d do is not allow the cider to be completely cool before adding the egg and that’s just a case for starting from scratch with reducing the cider, which is super easy, just time-consuming.

I’ve made this pie many, many times including this past Thanksgiving (doubled the whipped cream to accompany the pedestrian pumpkin pie). It is indeed delicious and you are absolutely correct about not putting in all of the sugar that the recipes indicates for the whipped cream.

I’ve never actually done it before but that sounds like it could be good. Might have to try it myself. I somehow expect that the microwave technique wouldn’t be as pleasing, but that’s because I generally think that microwaves make most things worse.

I’ve seen things ranging from putting it in an oven heated to the lowest setting until it reaches 165. Also I’ve seen some suggestions involve microwaving it to 165. While I suspect that both would hurt the end baked product, it probably wouldn’t be too bad if you wanted cookie dough just to eat.

I love when she walks into their pantry and takes the pan. She seemed to give zero fucks.
