We threw out a bunch this weekend. We got notice about this from Imperfect Produce. We don’t usually get red onions but the notice said it may have transferred to the sweet and yellows as well so we got rid of our stash. The nice part is that they said they will refund everyone for onions ordered in the recall window.

“You definitely shouldn’t act like you’re protected just because you’re participating in a vaccine trial.”

So you won’t be able to read anything at all unless you subscribe? I get it but I’m disappointed. I can’t really budget for sports media right now but I was hoping to read the Williams Sonoma catalogue.

This random stranger says: no, not worse than Failure to Launch. I like your idea of using that film as a measuring standard. “Did I feel more miserable today at work than I did when I watched Failure to Launch? No. Then it was an ok day.”

I sat in the back of the room when I saw Hamilton, the close-ups were great. For all the talk of “playing to the back of the room” there was a TON of nuance in the performances that I would never have caught from where I was sitting.

3 more decades to go ! You’ll see how much better My Fair Lady does after 60 of these

Time for a Toy Story TV show spin-off that will see Woody and Bo travelling around America, solving toy crime in a different small town each week.

That sounds a lot like my son.

I really love this movie. Instantly one of my top Pixar films. And since I’ve never articulated this out loud to anyone, I love how most of the emotions have “negative” connotations when we usually speak about them in real life but are all presented as being useful and necessary, except when taken to extremes.

Just check around on whatever various streaming platforms you have. I think I came across it originally on Netflix but may not be on there anymore. (also, if you want some more animatronic-pizza-chain creepiness, check out the short horror film ‘The Hug’ on Hulu. Its like 7 minutes and its great.) Although, I have to…

This seems like a good time to mention that you should watch The Rock-a-Fire Explosion, a documentary about Showbiz Pizza, which was the precursor chain that eventually morphed into Chuck E Cheeses. If you think the current gen animatronics used at Chuck E Cheese are unsettling, you ought to watch this and take a…

The public’s response: “TL, DR”, probably

This. A cocktail should not be called a martini if it doesn’t have gin.

I did a semester in Italy (before I knew anything about cocktails) and my friend ordered a martini and got served vermouth in a glass.

I whole-heartedly approve! Anything ending in “tini” should involve gin and dry vermouth (preferably significantly more of the former). Everything else might be a perfectly fine cocktail, but just because it’s shaken (and yes, I acknowledge and mostly ignore the whole shaken/stirred debate) and in a conical glass…

I saw a post on ‘Social Media of Choice’, that a benchmark of a person’s character is if they take shopping carts back to a corral or if they just abandon it the parking lot. No one will fine you or punish you for not returning the cart. No congratulations, no upvotes, just an effort that gains you nothing because…

I am receiving chemo therapy, have a heart condition and am recovering from recent surgery. Anyone who can’t bother to wear a mask or keep minimal distancing is assaulting me and others with health issues. SELFISH ASSHOLES.

It’s Jeannie and Cameron’s capacity for any growth that makes them more interesting characters, regardless of whether they kick against the system. Bueller is basically Poochie, but we don’t even get the joy of knowing he died on the way back to his home planet at the end.

A casserole. The classic trash-food thing made with cream-of-something soup and topped with crushed cornflakes, or just made as a one-pot mess on the stovetop. I am a child of the 1970s and my mother wasn’t much of a cook, so hamburger and peas mixed into boxed mac’n’cheese was common fare. I’m also partial to the…

When I tried to pay for gas with a roll of quarters, the attendant broke the roll and started counting out the coins. I joked, ‘What, you don’t trust me?” he said I’d be surprised how many people try to save 25 cents by intentionally shorting their rolls.
