I could smell her on his beard regularly (he neglected to wash his fucking face before coming home to me), confronted him often, and he lied every time. Our situation was complicated (co-owned a restaurant together), so I didn't feel I could just up and leave without a clear understanding of exactly what was going on.

I use an IUD (Copper-T), and while I love it, I find that it has made everything about my period more intense (heavier flow, stronger cramps).

This gives me hives. Mr.AlsoCooks and I are in the beginning stages of trying to plan our wedding, while at the same time trying to open a restaurant of our own. The costs and expectations associated with a wedding are outrageous and we are for real struggling to sort out what we can manage, and more importantly, what…

It depends on the restaurant you are at. Strictly kosher restaurants will serve meat or dairy, but not both. Large kosher banquet facilities will have separate kitchens for meat and dairy. Kosher-style restaurants will often serve both, but usually not in the same dish (You could have a burger and some ice cream for…

DST turns me into a raving loon- giving devices and appliances the stink-eye because I can't tell which have correctly auto-adjusted for this nonsense, babbling about how the government shouldn't be in charge of deciding time, muttering about conspiracies, and having asinine conversations about 'what time it feels…

Cosigned.

We do stage restaurants (dinner 5 nights a week, plus 2 lunches), and we get plenty of actual stupid customers, but if you think you can go above and beyond, craze-wise, you would be more than welcome!

Huh. I too, live in S-W Ontario.

There are also some very good DVDs (The Culinary Institute of America produces an excellent one, but it is pricey). Professional Cooking…

I am a working cook, as well as an instructor at a culinary school in Canada. I regularly reference BCO in class, trying to prepare my students for the unbelievable fuck-wittery waiting for them out in the 'real' world. These poor kids have no idea what awaits them...

1. Meatbonnets is new to me, phrase-wise, and is pretty much the best.

The IUD is also unbelievably cost effective.

Holy crap, this! Cherry Kissing Potion. And also Watermelon Kissing Koolers. 100% this is what grade 6 smelled like. And tasted like.

Sansa's shoes are the best part of her ensemble. I do want.

If you look very quickly, Donatella Versace looks an awful lot like Marilyn Manson, in the top picture.

1. This is the very best.

I read the pumpkin seed story for the first time yesterday, and I found myself thinking about it this morning as I lay in bed, slowly waking up. Like, really pondering the texture and sensation, and worrying about other delicious snacks that might have similar effects. Thank you, for invading my cozy morning with the…

This sweet goat appears to have only one ear. And is a more polite guest than most of my family. I would like to invite this one-eared goat over for New Year's Eve.
