That video was good, but this one (as highlight reel) gives a better sense of how amazing the kid is. I've been watching him the last 4-5 years as he's developed from amazingly talented to Force of Nature. This video also is the best depiction of how that low centre of gravity leads to maneuverability - he's just…

"Those briny, mustardy, aggressive-as-hell little anger-peas."

Amazing

Thank you for making my point for me. Now run along back to your Bourdain.

Huh, so multiple knives then. Funny, that.

...and when my wife & I are cooking together? What then?

You have a wonderful way with words! "Imagine the kind of fabric you'd use on a picnic table at a preschool" and "like a storage unit for pews" have had me giggling away for quite a while.

Uh, guys...

Whoops - already covered in the comments. (Heat by Buford)

Lindy, thank you so much for all that you've done here. You were my introduction to Jezebel, my wife's introduction to Jezebel, and I just learned today the same for a bunch of my colleagues. Onwards and upwards, but we'll all miss you here so much.

That doesn't sound comfortable.

Hi Drew - love your stuff, but you're off base with the home birth stuff. There's bucket loads of evidence on what is and isn't safe for home birth, hospital birth, etc - the key thing is that the people helping with the home birth are *professional* midwives with piles of training. If there's a known problem, then…

Thank you Lindy for that brilliant photo at the top, on behalf of those of us who wouldn't be caught dead doing "alpha male shit".

I think the bleach reference may be to bleach + floor stripper type products. Using a bleach along with (soon enough after) an ammonia-based product can have nasty effects - essentially you make mustard gas on your floors. I've done this once, and it wasn't pleasant.

Piperade. Julia Child's recipe is where I learned it, and it's dirt simple. Put some oil in a dutch oven / non-stick pan, cut up an onion into half rings and toss in. Cut some peppers into strips, and toss in (mix in a hot pepper too). After a bit, toss in some sliced garlic and stir, and then slice some tomatoes and…

I can't emphasize strongly enough how good and easy shakshouka is.

There are kids out there who need organs and would know better than to spend one hundred and thirty two fucking dollars for an offensive pastiche of poverty.

Could it have been in powdered form? Tapioca has a history of exploding, and I wonder if something similar happened here?

An even better movie is Down With Love - it's a great Doris Day spoof.

No.
