No pasta related pun in the headline?  This blog has fallen farfalle.  

Many “As Seen On TV” devices are developed to help people with limited hand mobility and other issues. It just makes it financially feasible to also market it to people who are uninformed or whatever. Eggs are very hard for people with various issues to crack or peel without it being a disaster

I do love Suranne Jones!

Can we consider Arya Stark’s dinner for Walder Frey a contender?

Conveniently located near Colgate University, so no need to worry about extra cavities.

I see you, Simon - I think there’s some funny business going on, I can’t see that comment in our system anywhere, including the grays. If you see this happening again somewhere, let me know again and I can do some further investigation.
