What I really miss are the things I no longer make because nobody else eats them and they’re too time-intensive and/or expensive to bother. I used to make really good fruitcake. Fruit soaked in rum for months before baking, cake soaked in rum afterwards. Dark, yummy. The only people who ate it were my mother, my…

Thank you. It really makes a difference at the moment having a connection right now. I can update that a different nurse got me a real coffee today, the OT gave me oil pastels, paper, and a facemask, and an acquaintance I have in the hospital has given me a secret wifi access code. Things are brighter today. : )

its not a bagel unless its boiled first...will try this... thanks!!

I just returned to working in formal education this year so 1) I have terrible timing 2) I am likewise very interested in knowing when in-person education is back.

I’m sorry if my comment made it sound like I’ve heard anything definitive about what California’s social distancing will look like in March or April 2021. I can’t have heard such a thing because right now there is nothing definitive. I was stating that it is possible that current restrictions will still be in effect.…

The part most people don’t realize is that most of these theme park workers are going to be taking home more now per week than they would if Disney kept paying them. 

Three things to know. One, my husband, like many men, is convinced that recipes are merely suggestions. Two, he’s seriously into making pizza. Three, he’s also cheap AF. A couple of years ago he tried copying all the big chain pizza restaurants’ recipes. The one pertinent to this story is Pizza Hut’s pan pizza. We…

Honorable mention to my late husband, who did this to one of my pans while I was at work one day:

The same thing we do every weekend, Marnie. Try to take over the world!

Understood, but this isn’t a real answer, this is Waffle House taking advantage of desperate people for exposure. The sacks are tiny, $20 for around 18 waffles’ worth of mix. 

You might already know this. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, pour 8oz of whole milk and add 1 tbs of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it set at room temp for 8-10 minutes.  Stir and voila.

The remake! Articles like this perform a valuable service in pointing out potential wastes of time.

Anyone who hasn’t should listen to Slow Burn Season 2, about the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. I did not think that my opinion on Tripp would be changed, and that I would always view her as an absolute asshole, but the episode on Tripp (which she was interviewed) absolutely made me view her in a more sympathetic light. I…

Stranger mom love is the best!  Thank you for your kind words. 

This is the inverse of a NextDoor post.

First off, detail nitpick. The Others was a largely Spanish production, so it doesn’t really count as part of “Hollywood’s then ongoing pillaging of Spanish horror films and directors.” This was just a Spanish filmmaker making a Spanish movie intended for an international audience.

I’m trying to understand how “t-shirt tucker” is an epithet.  

I love dressing up cabbage. Just this past Saturday I put one in a little cowboy hat and we watched CNN together. 

I hate that I’m in the position of voting for the *less* rapey guy just so RBG can retire.

I know this isn’t a competition, but, there are things you can do with a 4 1/2 yo, as she listed. Our child is 4 month’s old and there is no option for screen time, no option to even just have her hold a damn toy. Oh and she’s one of those babies who DOESN’T NAP. We’re lucky to get two 20 minute naps.
