I’m sorry, but I really think that photo of Melanoma shows she doesn’t have a thought in that pretty little head. Totally blank.

My thoughts exactly. slightly.... incoherent.

There is no easy answer. We have friends that we are closer to than actual family, and their SIL is border patrol. He managed to alienate my husband from them by being a total asshole, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Try telling a Nam vet that he has no voice in saying what he thinks about various things…

Someone who would wear a t-shirt like that and demand her biracial kid take her out in public rates a definition of ‘blood is not thicker than safety’ tag.

Breitfart is So BUTTHURT right now. It’s actually interesting to read the comments - but I’m still confused by why they think stevie is a populist.

I went to the Seattle Art Museum to see their Japanese clothes exhibit - OMG, the things they came up with! (This was fairly modern, btw, no kimono or such.)

And possibly more deadly. The stuff they used in them....

We always had the “one bite” rule. Never demanded she like everything, but she had to try it. Never had that many spit it back out on the plate moments, either.

Honest, I have parsnips in the fridge cuz... I have no idea. I am SO trying this! Thanks!

OMG, sauteed apples with sausage is to die for!

Some people never grow out of it. My BFF’s husband will eat boneless meat only, hates most veggies and fruit, rice, garlic bread, and deep-fried things from a local “Asian” chain.

Just be glad it’s not like my kid’s situation. She was the most cosmopolitan eater (just like us!) until she got IBS. Now she has to be SO careful about how she eats and dreams about eating things she took for granted for so long. We both sigh about this.

I love Japanese sweet potatoes and Okinawan purple yams. Still.... no thanks.

My SO went to a Porsche event of this type, and came back on cloud nine from doing the instructed thing. But he doesn’t drive crazy like it sounds like this guy has.

We did the pinhole box thing when I was in college, and decided to drive to watch a total eclipse near Wenatchee. The quality of light from a total eclipse is breathtaking - and it was interesting, the birds all got very quiet for a couple of minutes. I think they were confused....

Well, you were unnecessarily whatever.

Try “k’nell” sometimes. (I don’t know quite how to spell it). It’s Brit short for fucking hell.

Nothing more irritating than a young person denigrating an older person, especially one making beaucoup bucks.

THIS. Does Tupin hate pickles as well? Tzaziki? Sunomono?

Summer borscht (cold, thin, and not filled with chunky bits) is delicious. Even better is chlodnik.
