I was thinking the same thing.  I can’t even get fake vanilla that tastes like the real thing.

As someone who works in a lab, I am going to call BS on the environmental motive.  Even environmental labs do a ton of damage to then environment.

As a bioanalytical chemist, I have always thought that having a job analyzing wine would be amazing.

I wonder if they are the same people who read letters to advice columns and parse every word as if the LW is a professional writer. “Well, she didn’t explicitly say this thing that I have arbitrarily decided is super important, therefore she is a liar who is at fault.”

Scott Eastwood is freakishly good looking.  I mean, damn.  But I feel bad being so attracted to him because he seems to share his father’s politics.  At least when he says things like this, he becomes less and less attractive.

I wish you could just buy a couple stalks of celery instead of those giant bunches.

Add me to the anti-produce drawer crowd. That is the place where produce goes to turn to brown juice. Produce goes front-and-center because if I see it, I will eat it.n I put beer in the produce drawer to make it less tempting.

Ugh.  Dakota Johnson.  If she didn’t have famous parents she would never have an acting career.  She has all the appeal of a mud fence.  Watching her slump around red carpets, I can’t imagine her having the grace needed to pull off that role.

I didn’t realize it was employee owned. It just became my preferred brand.

It’s a staple!  How can you run out of a staple?!

Those people are assholes.  On an unrelated note, would you like to come to my Labor Day party?

I would love to do that, but does it have to be for Bombay?  Because their gin sucks.

Plus, the older you get, the better booze you can afford.  When I was in my 20s, I was limited a bit by the fact that the booze just didn’t taste that good.  Now that I am in my 40s, I can afford the easy-drinking stuff.

If my elderly relatives’ habits are any indication, it was just row after row of Canadian Lord Calvert and Budweiser.

“a Nutella sandwich every single day”

I bought a 24 oz insulated tumbler for coffee because I really liked the size and shape.  After I bought it, I saw the 1, 2, and  5 oz markings inside of it.

If you want to get day drunk without calling attention, typically insulated water bottles (like Camelback) hold exactly one bottle of wine.  And look at you being healthy and drinking all that “water”.

I bet you could do that with a cheap sav blanc or something similar and frozen peaches and it would be good.

Damn.  Now I am going to have to do that.

In the summer, I will freeze my wine glass before pouring a chilled white wine into it, but if is it too hot for that, I switch to gin&tonics or mojitos.
