I have this one and I do think it’s pretty easy to clean. The plates clip in and out really easily. Obviously, like any other nonstick cookware, it’s not dishwasher safe. But the crevices are large enough to actually scrub inside so it’s not a big deal.

hahahah I am the ghost of wedding whatever!

I don’t think they necessarily LOOK that bad on everyone, but I can’t abide how they feel. On what planet is it cold enough near the ground that I need or want a full length skirt but warm enough a mere five feet above the ground that I want zero sleeves? I get that it’s possible to layer, but they’re often shown…

The context: I had no bridesmaids (as I said in a different response but will go into in more detail here). I did it because of the 9 closest women in my life, I would have had a really hard time choosing 2-3 among them, and the one required person would have driven me crazy. There was no way I could handle having 1…

I’d be hard pressed to put a cap on number of bridesmaids because I was in a wedding as one of 10 bridesmaids that needed all 10 of us (as much as “need” can be applied to bridesmaids). It was a giant wedding with a lot of events. No one bridesmaid could attend every event so it was good to have a critical mass of us…

You’re never going to be exactly what your parents expected you to be. They’re always going to be both disappointed in you and proud of you, no matter what you do because there will be things you do that surprise them in a bad way (be too hungover to go to breakfast when they traveled 500 miles to visit you) and…

Eh, I had dude-friends in college who found tampons kind of fascinatingly weird rather than disgusting. They weren’t afraid of them or grossed out. At some point one had recently been dumped by a girl who’d left half a box of them in his dorm room. One drunk evening shortly thereafter they took all of the tampons out…

this comment is my everything.

Are registries an American and/or British thing? I’m American and live here, but a large chunk of my friends are either foreign, immigrant, or married to foreigners or immigrants. The only foreign/immigrant wedding I’ve attended that had a registry was of an American to an English person. Otherwise the assumption…

My mother is queen of the double standards. Be happy with your weight! You don’t have to wear make up! But then she eats nothing but salad and is unable to leave the house without lipstick and blush. She gets very defensive about her double standards though when I question her not eating any of a pie she baked or when…

This kind of thing irritates the shit out of me. If you don't care enough to figure out what you like aesthetically, then just don't decorate. Don't say you want it decorated but then make someone else figure it out for you. And assuming some woman has the time, energy, and motivation to do it for you just because…

My husband and I both got some 24 intestinal bug (food poisoning? We'll never know). He came down with it first and we spent the day in our hotel room. I was pumped he was finally feeling better so we went to dinner. I had been feeling fine!

I've only ever been the issuer of ultimatums, and I don't think I've ever been issued one. Most ultimatums I issue are low-stakes (That song is so annoying. If you hum it again in the kitchen tonight, you're on your own for cooking dinner.) The only high-stakes ultimatum I've ever issued was with regard to periodic…

This is not a random sample of expats. This is expats who would voluntarily post close ups of their faces on as heavy-traffic a website as Jezebel.

Those of us who didn't have fancy things like "cars" and "gym memberships" in our youths just carried giant purses all the time. Keep a light jacket, a flexible pair of flats, and a book in it. These basics don't need to be changed out of your purse every time you use them. They will cover most of your needs for just…

I've been to many a bachelorette party, none of which have involved looking like a crazy cliche the whole time. They were varying levels of expensive. All involved drinking heavily. Two involved cooking classes. Two involved drinking semi-illegally at a picnic (park and beach, sangria in Nalgenes just looks like fancy…

what makes you think they don't?

I used getting married and having a wedding budget as an excuse to buy much more expensive shoes than I normally would but were not specifically wedding shoes. I figured I was never going to wear my wedding dress again if I got something wedding-y, but I could wear slightly non-wedding-y shoes that I liked much better…

it's never taken me longer than 36 hours to break up with someone. i can't fathom 3-6 months of "unraveling". do you just mean 3-6 months from the first point at which you think "maybe this relationship isn't my best idea yet" and deciding "yep and furthermore, it's a terrible idea, no question"? do you wait until you…

my best friend and i used to joke that with our powers combined, we'd totally pwn dating. i'm not good at getting that first date. she's flirtatious and gets asked out all the time. she's good at that initial dating period game of developing crushes. her game starts to crack when she starts liking the guy and dudes'll…
