Delta’s main hub in the east is Atlanta.  Makes me wonder if that’s been an influence on management.

Delta has really been working on their brand this year. Back at the beginning of covid in north america, they refunded a lot of non-refundable tickets, including mine for Japan for a trip in April. They could have stuck me with just credit, but they didn't. 

I really wonder what’s going on at Delta. They’ve been really aggressive about enforcing mask-wearing on their flights even to the point of permanently banning people from flying on their planes and now this. Tossing Karen off the flight is one thing but an upgrade and a “Black Lives Matter” Delta pin? I’m stunned. If…

Another tip for any kind of sugar work - when you’re done, scour the stove top and counter with hot water and soap. Because as sure as you are that no droplets of hot sugar escaped the pot or dropped to settle thither and yon around the kitchen.... they probably did. And you’d rather deal with that now rather than…

I went through a candy making phase when I found out it was something I could do at home.

One of the first recipes I tried was vinegar candy from a reprint of an 1896 Fannie Farmer…

About 50% don’t get it, 25% think it’s hilarious, and 25% bitch about women expecting to be taken care of. Because makin’ him a sammich is doing my job, not taking care of him.

I’ve started responding to “Make me a sammich!” with “Change my oil!” The reactions have been...interesting.

Wait, what?  Are you being serious?  That will filter out all of the long-winded tales of the recipe writer’s summers with her grandma in Western Massachusetts? 

This comment kind of epitomizes how Hillary always rubbed some people the wrong way and nothing she could ever do would make it right. And that’s absolutely fine and their right...UNTIL THEY FUCKING VOTE BASED ON IT.

I mean..how many people, outside of professional chefs, make up original recipes on their own? That takes so much time and effort even for a SAHM. 

And Trump's supporters would practically fight each other for one, declaring them delicious with their final breath.

What a bitch!! Having a career and identity outside of being a wife!?!? The audacity!!

She would definitely mix up sugar with salt. 

Smug bitchiness, huh?

I’ve been working through some of the original suffrage cookbooks over the last year, without the benefit of this person’s modernizing of the recipes.

Closest thing I ever got to a “not what I was expecting” cake came back when I was homeless.

A fave meme:

The smoke from the wildfires causes an issue with grapes called “smoke taint” where the grapes are damaged and imbued with ashy flavors that come through in the wine they produce.
