Wait, why were you peeling green walnuts? Do you need to peel them before you candy/pickle/whatever them?

This is why there is always at least block of ramen in the house, and usually more. Emergency food is no joke.

I think I would like him. I like to tell people that NYS is six hours in both directions, not counting Long Island, which tacks on another 2. One of the more surreal moments in my life was being in China (where I told nearly everyone except for Northeastern Americans that I was from Boston) and finding not only…

Unless you’re in the more gentrified areas (so, like 90% of Metro Boston, in which case Portland, as in “I’m moving to Portland”, means Oregon. Portland only means Maine if you're talking about a daytrip or someone who commutes.

Oh man. He probably feels the "no, the OTHER ONE" thing really strongly, since if his life is anything like mine, he's had to have the "no, seriously, do you even know how big New York State is it's more than just the city oh my god I hate you" conversation way too often. There's a reason why I just say I'm from…

I would be all over that. It'd be a little bit tangy, with a warm spicy edge. Like a more complex and less powerful Wasabi and Ginger.

I know that feel, cartoon dude.

And that's fine! Words can mean a lot of different things. It's why language evolution is awesome! To me, vintage either means something from a distant time period. To other people, it means something meant to evoke that time period. Both are okay.

Not even close. That’s, what, a natural gas storage tank? That’s the opposite of a nice view. Now, if you had put up a picture of the view from one of the Harbor Islands, I might have believed you.

Eeeh? I would debate that, depending on the usage. In a dress, sure. It's vintage-styled, or retro. As a tablecloth? Rustic, all the way. Then again, I may draw my lines fairly finely between definitions. I would see a gingham purse as country/rustic, not vintage, unless it was actually 30+ years old.

oh god please tell me you're kidding. That sounds /terrible/.

Oh my god. This looks /amazing/. I might have to buy an Archie comic for the first time since I turned double digits.

I was thinking the art looked familiar! It looks awesome!

Maybe you can answer one of the burning questions I have about this whole thing. Setting aside potentially poor judgement in colored oils, wouldn’t the picture get warped by the distortion of the glass? It seems like the corner of the jar’s distorted a bit of the picture. Maybe I’m crazy. But that would bug me like…

Pretty, but how do you mount them on holdable sticks? Also, it seems like they're not really preservable, which sucks if you want to dry your bouquet.

Completely offtopic, but! I have an awesome bigass glass jar that I’ve been thinking of turning into a fish tank. I’d say it’s about 1.5 gallons? You’ve said bettas need 2 gallons at least, so are there any other fish you’d recommend putting in there? Or should I give up the enterprise entirely?

Burlap and gingham aren't vintage. They're rustic. Those words do not mean what Pintrest thinks they mean. Vintage is time, rustic is material.

I have a friend who occasionally likes to go on omegle and pretend to be a spider. This is amazing and I am sending it to her immediately. <3 <3

I guess what I’ve been learning from this whole thread is that I am a weird alien because I don’t mind eating the same meal, even if it’s only once a day, for a few days straight.

Fair! I also like freezing things so I can have it ready to go later on when I’m feeling lazy and haven’t had it in a while. Also, back when “things on rice” was a major food group, I liked making or having on hand lots of different types of “instant” proteins or vegetables so I could throw them on rice in different…
