For all the things I can cook, rice cooking just never stuck. It’s always either too gummy or too much water or who the hell knows. Growing up we almost never ate rice, and when my mom cooked it it was cooked somewhere between al dente and raw.

The yogurt making is both fascinating and horrifying.

Ok folks, give me your Instant Pot recipes.

In what was probably a poor choice, I had a double espresso for lunch yesterday and it resulted in my cleaning of everything in my home, packing all of my lunches, making all of my dinners for the week, and making a banana cake and a batch of chocolate chip cookies

If they’re blowing up 40lbs of explosives for a gender reveal, they should have wrapped it up about 22 weeks ago. 

PA has caught up. Even in Philly and surrounding burbs you can easily sign up for a shot within the week. 

Same experience here. Particularly the ‘please nothing touch me omg everything hurts’ experience.

I also bruised from it, but I bruise if I walk too closely to a sharp cornered piece of furniture, so I’m probably not a normal test subject.

Yeah, it’s certainly not a consistent thing. But luckily such a small matter. 

The shot hurting/bleeding is probably a mix of things. Any amount of tensing your muscles will cause it to hurt more and bleed more. Being warm will cause it to bleed more. Your asprin will cause it to bleed more. It may have hurt more depending on who gave the shot—the scale of this means a lot more folks giving…

I do wonder who finds low rise jeans actually comfortable though. Is there a body type where it doesn’t feel like you’re being sawn in half? The last time they were fashionable I was about 100lbs soaking wet, so ‘waifish’ isn’t the answer. 

I cannot believe that another generation is going to put themselves through the horror of low rise pants.

For whatever reason, anything from Eucerin drives my skin INSANE. I have some seborrheic dermatitis issues on my face and there’s something in Eucerin that must feed it.

There’s nothing quite like skin that is simultaneously peeling off because it’s so dry, and breaking out because like three pores are just doing all the oil production for the whole thing.

My boyfriend grabbed one of them playingly as I was walking by his desk (as he does) and I practically jumped out of my skin.

I don’t get a period anymore due to my IUD, but I still get hormone fluctuations and occasionally ovulate, because of how IUDs work, even hormonal ones. I have a cycle, it’s just kind of weird and long and doesn’t involve bleeding.

This putz is ignoring the fact that Americans also do this. Wear their military medals on non military clothing. Look at any Pearl Harbor Day commemorations, various military funerals, crew reunions, etc.

Yeah, American service folks wear their medals on non-military clothing fairly regularly. Special events, funerals, anniversaries. I’m not sure why this is different, at all. Particularly for Harry, who served and whose medals are not honorary. 

It’s all two sides of the same coin, so to say. Stress causes some people to eat, treat it as a salve for a problem it cannot fix; for others, it causes us to just compartmentalize food to the back of the brain, to relegate it to something so minuscule we don’t have to spend energy on it.

Or turning to sludge.
