Laziness is a factor, sure. My wife and I often are coming home late (7-9pm) and simply don’t want to grocery shop that late at night. Weekends we often don’t go out, and getting ready, leaving just to go grocery shopping, then having to come home and unpack it will eat up half the day.

My culinary life has been much improved by marrying into this family and I want to learn so my daughter can learn too!

When my SO took me home to El Paso/Juarez to meet the family, he told them I am white. So they very considerately stocked up on gringa food for me. It was like three days of me looking longingly at their chilaquiles at the breakfast table while I politely ate oatmeal or a toasted bagel before I finally said “you don’t…

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.

For all the Adjective-Americans wondering whether there is some form of Cultural Appropriation that forbids them to watch this, fear not. Go see it.

I’ve been wondering if there are tinges of cultural appropriation or tone deafness. Did you feel the tone was appropriately reverent?

My kids used to think I was kidding when I said my Mom used to throw shoes at me and they would bend around a corner to connect unerringly with the back of my head. Right up until my youngest son told my oldest son that “he didn’t give a fuck”. From the kitchen, she threw both shoes, hooked them through the dining…

I got emotional the first time I saw her in a trailer. Her dress, that apron, and her face and hands remind me so such of my grandmother, god rest her soul. It’s been years, but I still see those hands shaping masa, and hearing the sizzle as she laid it down on the comal.

Dare I call her a zapatista? Or would I be sabotaging myself?

I love more animated movies of Dia de los Muertos.

“It’s not a bra, it’s a bustiiayyyyyy!” is a phrase I exclaim on the regular.

The doodle is so delightful. During homeroom this morning, I started playing it and forgot to turn down the volume. Several 16-year-olds immediately began singing along to “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom”, and one of them could tell the whole story of her death. And this was over a thousand miles away from Corpus Christi. I was in…

Selena de por vida.

We had to end up calling the police. At around 1 am it got real bad. Some girl vomited over the fence into our yard and the boys started urinating in our bushes. They went into the woods behind our house and started breaking bottles and ripping apart trees. My husband called the police and they shut it down, but the…

Thanks. My cat just came back so I’m thankful for that.

In our county we can’t make a complaint until it it is after 11:00 pm and the source of the noise is less than 50 feet away. So we are at a loss as their house is about 70 feet away. Worst of all they set off a mess of fireworks about an hour ago and my sweet barn buddy cat got scared and we can’t find her.

Oh my gawd I want a Jezebel romance!!!!

Brag thread! What did you do recently that you’re super proud of? I made this cake for Easter which was the first one I didn’t fuck up in the layer cutting process (finally learned to freeze). Plus I got a spinny cake stand so I could get my icing (a little) smoother. I’ve still got more practice to go, but this is…

Big Foot’s evaluation went fairly smoothly-although she is not thrilled that he is mentioned PTSD, but he was aware of her reservations there and is willing to let her either come to that realization on her own or not- it’s not going to change how her therapy will go. Besides, it is actually the third in the list of…

No doubt one of the many benefits of diamond gonads.
