I don’t think I’ll ever adopt the term charuterie board.  The point is that everybody (but especially your picky 3-year-old)  finds simple finger foods appealing.

10/10 would recommend. I have fond childhood memories of this being my dad’s go to meal solution while my mom was working nights. He’d slice up whatever fruits and raw vegetables we had in the house, and arrange them on a platter with a little cheese and crackers. Minimal prep and cleanup, and if it wasn’t an exciting…

Agreed. My main point, really, is just about Unemployment laws, because it’s nearly impossible to pay someone for in-home care without the law considering them to be an employee, and can be an unpleasant surprise if you try to go it alone. Most of the programs I’ve worked with just contract with fiscal agents and…

This has been my problem, too. I listened to podcasts all day long at the office, but now I have regular interruptions from my young children which makes bulk listening impossible. Even after a few unsubscriptions and regular, judicious auditing (i.e., deleting episodes that will be obsolete by the time I get to them) …

In-home care is domestic employment, so people receiving pay in exchange for providing care to family members also need to be aware of Unemployment Insurance tax requirements which vary from state to state. Most states have exceptions in certain cases, but it depends on the relationship between the caregiver and the…

Oh, I’m not questioning it. Just applauding a better job than I’d have done.

I applaud your thoroughness. If I were writing a post to go with this headline, the body would just be “With a grain of salt, maybe some lime and tequila."

But on the outside of the sandwich? I could see that happening with mayo on the inside mingling with the cheese.

I mean, sometimes you get really excited about the New Thing you found, and you evangelize it to people before realizing that it is, in fact, garbage (see: any dead social network that launched after 2004).

It really just depends. American cheese has its uses; I wouldn’t say its the superior grilled cheese or burger topper, but sometimes it’s exactly what I want.

Ignore the haters; this is a good take. Under lockdown there have been two occasions when butter was not available in my weekly grocery delivery, and I stooped to using mayonnaise. Years of online recommendations from would-be Lifehacker writers taught me to expect something amazing, but mayonnaise does nothing on the…

This is such a stupidly obvious way to get the most out of (and clean) those cans of condensed milk that I’m already buying to mix with my coffee. Thank you, and thanks to your friend.

Peanut butter and mayonnaise on toast.

Alternatively, have your partner loudly mispronounce your name whenever they need your attention.

I never did a speed run, but I was good at beating Oregon Trail multiple times in the same 45-minute class period. The trick was to run as fast as possible with the lowest level of rations, and ignore the health of your party.

Oh I've definitely heard that before. I'm just angry with myself because there was a definite moment in time when I could have asserted a policy—and I didn't.

I’m sure this is extremely common, but I wish I’d put my foot down about junk food. Everybody else who feeds my son was so excited by the little victory of getting him to eat anything at all, and now it’s been ages since I’ve seen him voluntarily eat anything green. A couple of breakfast bars do not a meal make.

I have never met a pimento cheese I didn’t like

Easter on the other hand.... Discount chocolate and ham.

There are six reviews of the movie in my RSS feeds this morning, and the other five are pretty positive, judging by the headlines. So, it sounds like people who sit through it will enjoy it but I have no intention of doing that.
