The big issue is that it’s not “religious iconography,” but rather being identifiably from a religious minority. That’s about as “more religious” as gays being more sexual when they hold hands.

Go to Tanglewood instead.

There are also traditional homebrews like buusa and mbege. I’m quite fond of them, but their distribution in America is fairly limited.

“The thing with baking is it’s a science. With cooking, you can throw a few ingredients into the pot and see what happens”

Linen.

If they’re enough of a problem for ICE to bother with, they’re probably in the county jail already.

My company is actually working to implement a transgender medical policy (I think on all coverage policies), and one of the big challenges was apparently how to control cosmetic spending (the dirty little secret of health insurance and Microsoft is that we think our customers are idiots who can’t be trusted not to…

It’s a bit like “Nice Guy” and “Very Serious People,” aimed at those who have pretensions of the literal meaning when actually just aping the appearance.

I’d also guess that animation’s work culture made it so that any woman saying she was uncomfortable would be met with “join the club,” as the tight-deadline assembly-line nature of the industry means regular crunch times featuring 48-hour work days and supervisors irritable and loopy from too little sleep and too much…

Why are they using French varietals? I would totally go for a gewürztraminer-elbling-white spatburgunder blend.

I’ve been mixing my cottage cheese 1:1 with greek yoghourt for a while now.

Bonds had to use advanced pharmacology to get competitive with where Ruth was when simultaneously drunk and hung over.

I’m guessing the defining feature is that you can pick up up whenever you have a free moment, put it down when you don’t, and don’t have to really concentrate or exert yourself when reading (such that background stuff isn’t a problem). Highest overlap would have to be train reads.
