My experience with Europeans and our horrifically unhealthy guilty pleasures like those cheddar biscuits is that it's like tempting Adam and Eve with the forbidden fruit.

I'm allergic to wheat and my reaction can range from mild to life-threatening. I don't go places that have wheat based cuisine (pasta, pizza, dumplings, etc.,) and I always research restaurants to make sure there's something I can eat. But that's sometimes not enough. I am well within my rights to ask if a dish has…
Um... if you still have Mike's info... I have roughly 54 acres of hardwood floors that could use some respect. I'll hide the knives and keep the dogs at the ready, but he is more than welcome to bring a toothbrush and get down with his bad self.
People have a right to ask about ingredients that may cause them to be violently ill or require hospitalization. (Though hopefully they'd research the restaurant before coming to make sure they could be accommodated, which the OP seems not to have done.) The weird gluten-free trend doesn't make things like Celiac…
OK, I have to admit my ignorance here. Why would they give you a huge platter of pastries if you were only supposed to take one? Like, if you ordered a Devon Coffee, couldn't they have just brought you your coffee with a pastry on the side? I do not know how to New Zealand.
It reminds me of the time I allegedly pissed in the bidet while I was studying abroad.
"Well, maybe I will come to your country then. And eat all of your bread!"
When one of the guys tried to stop her, she pulled his beanie off his head and used it to wipe herself.
Now Now - I'm 55 and I can tell you it's generally longer than 2 slides - usually gets a reaction, and is seldom problematic.
I didn't say WOC specifically, but off the top of my head:
The idea that they are undeserving or have lowered the standards of Vogue is 100% ridiculous and yes, freaking the fuck out over them getting the cover is straight up pearl clutching.
I think it's racism and classism (high brow vs. low). Vogue has featured way less deserving people in the past and no one threw a similar tantrum.
They're new money, darling. *runs to vomitorium*
That is such a sweet sentiment you shared. You forget sometimes how the concept of family can impact you. I've had a rough relationship with my step-kids until the last couple of years. Their mom poisoned the well, etc. I truly love those kids and things are much better now. I was introducing them to my coworkers…
i have an 'aunt' who has known me for 20 years, and i introduced her to my friend as my aunt, and she told me later how touched she was. i TOTALLY know that feel, because my mom's boyfriend's niece introduced me as her cousin a few years ago, and i cried later, because i'm pretty estranged both my mom and bio dad's…
as someone who worked with and knew Janice personally for a time, I just wish to say, she is seriously one of the most legit, real people I have met in that industry. I have lot of love for her because she is so misunderstood and respect for her because she's so incredibly honest (and crazy). She's a hoot though and…
I'm so disappointed right now that "meatplane" is just a nerdy word for real life, instead of an actual plane made of meat lashed together with intestines. If I were Satan, I would only fly on Meat Force One.
