I love how Ina Garten has really just leaned in to her meme-ification ;-p

Haha, yeah gotta love Cook Out for the milkshakes!

Have you ever tried that Baby Foot stuff? It’s horrifying and yet also kind of magic at the same time. These booties with some kind of goopy gel inside them meant to give you smooth (like a baby) feet, you wear the booties for a half hour or so and then rinse the stuff off.

Yeah they better not get rid of the Diet Coke recipe, at least, even if they call it something else. (I realize they’re not at the moment but who knows in future...)

And more recently, “bio-hack”

Did you ever live anywhere with a Char-Grill? I grew up in Raleigh and they have 10 or so locations around the Triangle ... Anyway they use the bright pink hot dogs. I can’t say that I ever remember seeing them anywhere else, but I do associate them with “North Carolina” because I always just knew them as the…

It’s definitely hit or miss, and more miss lately. But I’ve always done a variation of this when flying alone —- I’m a window seat person, and I’ll try to pick one in a row where the aisle is taken but the middle is still empty. Then cross your fingers that it stays that way. (Especially helpful if you do this when…

One thing I do find super interesting about this, is the producers have clearly instructed the women to wear flats/sandals to this “elimination” thing. Cause invariably, the women on these kind of dating shows are wearing the tallest, SPIKIEST, most painful looking heels imaginable — which I imagine is something of a…

Weirdly enough, LA has a thing where it’s not uncommon that an apartment doesn’t come with a fridge. Many of them do of course, but it’s common enough that if I’m looking at apartment listing photos and don’t actually see the fridge, I would ask to see if it came included or not.

It’s mostly about controlling your breathing right? That’s why most of the remedies involve swallowing something.

Yeah I was also looking at some pumpkin chili recipes that seemed like they could be a good use for it! 

Ooh sounds nice! How dark a beer do you need? I bought one of those Sam Adams winter variety packs only to realize I really do not like the Pumpkin Ale (I’m not much of a pumpkin spice person in general..)

Yeah I am TOTALLY a flavored coffee person. And it’s not because I don’t like “regular” coffee or need things to be super sweet or anything. I typically do use a bit of milk and sweetener in my flavored coffees but I also enjoy it black, especially when you’re talking about the really good quality “regular”…

Yeah I just had to buy an onion this morning at the grocery store... the tag said “Peru” so I’m hoping that means it’s okay ... I’m cooking it either way so that helps make me feel a bit more secure.

I mean... when you’ve got like, what, at least 10 different buildings at this point (in the US alone) and all of them have god knows how many conference rooms ..... after a while I’ve got to imagine you’re kind of running out of ideas ;-D

All of the conference rooms in the various offices have names (for when you’re booking rooms online, or looking up rooms in the internal directory, etc) and they all have to do with the various Netflix programming. So you’ll have a room called “Money Heist,” or “Father Blackwood” or whatever.

ok but speaking of Jurgen, excuse me but HOW are we not talking about the fact that he made a cake for his friend’s Star Trek themed wedding, featuring a jaconde of two Enterprise spaceships kissing???? I die. 

Omg I never even thought about that —- you’re right, they do say the American version of the title! Huh.

Well, and probably also because the slang term “gogglebox” would be totally unfamiliar to American audiences.

Oh no, the intro skit is there! But yeah, sadly no Extra Slice ;-p
