Huh, maybe that’s the difference. Cause I was gonna say I drank instant coffee for years and it was... fine? Not terrible? Perfectly serviceable when you have a teeny kitchen and live with roommates and rely on just the big hot water pot?

I just find it hilarious that he goes from basically choking on inhaled cake right to the makeout .... There’s no way that was a decent kiss, dude couldn’t breathe! lmao

The amateur cooking show will feature the heiress “learning her way around the kitchen with the help of her famous friends,” says Variety.

That’s not creepy at all! I had a similar experience with a previous deliveryman — not postal service, a different UPS type service— altho I have to admit, that one did strike me as a little creepy .....

Not food, but drinks — mugi-cha (aka Japanese barley tea).

I mean yes, but also I feel like an awful black bean burger is worse than an awful beef-patty burger. (And it’s a lot easier to make a black bean burger truly mediocre, there’s a very thin line there)

My favorite thing ever was one of the local “Napolitan style” pizza places in my neighborhood in Tokyo. Legitimately good pizza, I ordered from there a lot, but they had one pizza on the menu that was called the “American pizza.” It was, I shit you not, a basic cheese pizza topped with an actual mountain of french…

If you’re describing barbeque as something you “go to” then I think it’s safe to say you’re DEFINITELY not a bbq snob .... ;-p

That basically exists — it’s called baby star!

Yeah I think some of the shows like Good Bones are more legit, for that reason — there’s not any specific timeline attached to the construction. They film and edit it to be one ep/one house, and I’m sure they have multiple ones going at a time, but presumably the construction is just happening when it happens and they…

Oh my god, THIS GUY

I mean, I was NOT looking forward to this season based on the horribly overdramatic “*screams, tears hair, rends at clothes* you’re not HERE for the RIGHT REASONS!!11!!1" previews.

Katie is such a good Bachelorette!!

Reminds me of an interview I read with the writer or creator or something of that 911 show, where he was explaining that their philosophy is essentially --- Oh, has it been 3 minutes since something wacky happened? Quick throw in another batshit emergency! 

Oh definitely bought it! (I’m too lazy for the other way... )

I’m a huge fan of black sesame ice cream! There are some pretty yummy, basic “mix and let it freeze” type recipes online

So much fun, the chemistry of that cast was just off the charts. (Unfortunately Armie Hammer’s recent ... whatever the hell is going on with him ... makes it a bit awkward to stump for this movie now)

That’s cause it still serves its purpose as a classism excuse. Even assuming a dress code is applied 100% fairly/uniformly — it ensures that you gotta have enough money to not only afford the fancy food and the fancy clothes, but also to not care about potentially dirtying the fancy clothes.

That’s the sort of thing that I definitely agree crosses the line of just impoliteness, and hosts should feel free to refuse to accommodate that sort of thing (or just to never invite that person over for dinner again).

Slight digression, but —
