Yes, I think this is the only time that they would care anything at all about you ordering the same thing every time. This is the wrong way to get remembered. A decent tip and being a decent human being are the right ways.

How should this be modified to use vanilla extract instead of vanilla paste? I would prefer not to buy specialty ingredients and just use what I will always have in the house.

I guess maybe I was misremembering that a bit, but it also depends on where in the week Christmas falls. It can be two more Sundays and feels like massive overkill especially when you’re doing music for multiple Masses per weekend.

I’m in the music group at my (Roman Catholic) church and I will say that every year I’m disappointed Advent is only 4 Sundays and there’s *so much* good Advent music out there to sing we can’t possibly do it all. Of course then it feels so bizarre because the church “Christmas season” is AFTER Christmas, so once…

I totally came here to post about this song. Santa and Jesus in the same song is just confusing.

Thanks. If my hubby were to make some of this it would be almost strictly for home/personal use, not for gifting or bringing to parties. We both enjoy nice sipping cocktails (I drink plenty of martinis) so it sounds right up our alley. I can’t personally do a ton of pot due to the existence of a random drug testing…

Thank you for this. How much would you consider one “single” standard dose? Two ounces of the infused liquor? Less/more? I’m guessing it takes a much shorter amount of time to kick in than brownies or other edibles (which usually take about an hour?)

There are already lots of beers with this name, at least one of them that I know of for exactly this reason.

I think my mom would put butter on almost any sandwich that used cold cuts. This includes when we had leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas. She was not a mayo person at all (by extension, neither am I). They were from the midwest (Milwaukee) and Grandma grew up during the Depression, not sure if either of…

One time I microwaved some leftover Stuffed Shrimp from the fancy steakhouse, and even though it didn’t smell that strongly, I was apologizing to anyone that came into the kitchen for the next half hour. Also I usually eat at my desk but that day ate in the lunchroom cause there was no way I’d do that to my coworkers.…

I got a message that the KINJAIXC code was not valid on the “Breeze” case up there. The other case code (KRPL1027) gave me $2 off, for a total of $7.99 (not $7). Whatever, I’ll take it.

I found a post elsewhere on the internet that claims the following inning breaks:

I don’t know for sure but my guess is the players got so used to the time between innings during the regular season, and now that it’s the playoffs there might be more time allowed for commercials? (Higher ratings + More time = more bucks?)

I apparently did a “Classic” roll off the changing table when I was about 2 years old. Wound up with a large fluid-filled sac on my head that was worrying enough even to parents of a 3rd kid to take me to the doctor, who referred me over to a neurologist at Boston Children’s. We had just moved to Massachusetts a…

Five or so colleges? There are 11 in the Worcester Consortium.

YES, kitty snuggles definitely take precedence. Just don’t squeeze them too hard (in delight or horror)!

I told my gym buddy (we go to the 6:30am class most days) that I was going to be there Tuesday before voting but probably not Wednesday because I anticipate being extremely hungover. No matter which way the returns go. (She was kinda shocked and asked me, “Is this a thing? Are you like going out or something?” No no,…

Pretty sure this was referring specifically to Massachusetts, where as Democratic as the state is, has elected a Republican governor in 5 out of the last 7 elections.

In the town where I grew up in the Merrimack Valley, my mom was elected to the School Committee for 3 terms (9 years) and went on to serve on the town’s Finance Committee for many, many MANY years. She definitely knew what she was doing. I’d vote for my mom as president eons before I’d vote for Jill Stein.

I got my hubby one of these for Christmas in 2014. He loves it and after two years it’s still in great condition (he used to replace his wallet practically once a year, and they were usually falling apart by the time he did).
