Unsurprisingly, these are really, really good. My favorite salad dressing is a simple garlic herb, so I more or less followed your suggestion and added a little garlic and a pinch of seasoning. A bit fiddly for more than a couple of servings, but they’d make a good addition to an antipasto platter.

Excited to try this tonight. I knew there was a good reason to pick up extra cherry tomatoes on sale the other day!

I’ll be so disappointed if the phrase “Rising Tithes” doesn’t appear on a graphic behind one of the late night hosts while he is discussing this story.

What do you think your guests dry their hands on?

I wasn’t fully aware of what Hypercard was until it was already dead, but when I was in middle school we used PCs running a Hypercard clone called Linkway. There were a couple of things it did better than Hypercard (namely VGA graphics right out of the box), but Hypercard wins because people have actually heard of…

Same. Those prefixes come with an implied eyeroll; people who are okay with men wearing buns just call them buns.

You make valid points, but to me the terms purse, satchel, and messenger bag all imply a distinctly separate styles of construction. I’m not sure if I’m right about that (it’s less work to type this comment than it is to do a modicum of research), but I feel that very few people would describe the bag I take to work…

I always forget—is Reince Priebus the one who spins straw into gold, or is he the one that’s summoned when you say his name three times?

a terribly drawn singing elephant over your favorite beautiful Pixar film with a complex plot.

I’d’ve held out for Blow-me.gov, Blow-me.mil, and Blow-me.edu.

Just got up, huh?

I’ve been trying for like, five minutes too come up with a better response than “don’t uh, don’t eat it.”

Sandwich envy.

Get video.

Well, I do these things for you, Claire.

It is worth noting, however, that this diagram only applies to square sandwiches, leaving subs out in the cold. Perhaps Richt will come out with an addendum.

A friend’s parents gave me this tip when I was a kid, along with “if a server upsets you, dump your tip into a glass of water, then invert the glass while firmly holding a menu over it. Put the glass face down on the table and carefully slide the menu out so the water doesn’t make a mess.”

All this materialism! We’ve lost sight of the true meaning of Prime Day.

Late to the party but FWIW Claire, we have very similar taste in salad—except that I can’t abide sweet dressings on non-fruit salads; it’s a popular combination that I’ve never liked.

Sooner or later these discussions always devolve into a load of bollocks.

I just tried saying “load of bollocks” out loud. Man, what a mouthful.
