Supermarket beer is for the meek. In Vermont, we play a competitive sport known as the “Heady Topper Chase.” True devotees track and tail delivery trucks, as distributors are few and supplies run out quickly. (I admit, I don’t do this in the winter. This makes me a hobbyist.)

Coolant, you two.

Great idea! (Also, if you add the ice orb before the liquid you won’t have the splash.)

The original lore has soul, mystery and pathos, so you can be sure the movie will be free of all that. Jesus, why can’t we just get a good graphic novel out of it?

Campari (yum) reminds me that I am regretting my purchase of a full 750 mL bottle of Apérol. The stuff is sickly sweet and the color bugs me. I wouldn’t ruin even a so-so prosecco with it. So before I pour it down the drain, can you recommend any recipes or ideas?

A few years ago we started (okay I imposed) the tradition of reading this aloud to each other before we eat. With each of us taking a section, it’s about 45 minutes. This and Capitol Steps (and some whiz-bangs we set off in the driveway) are the only things I want to hear on this day.

... nah.
That movie was a cringey swan song from one of my favorite directors and I cannot forgive it.

Okay but what about the holy trinity of calcium-magnesium-D that’s supposed to keep older women’s bones from going brittle?

Caramel on the cobblestones, sticking to the soles of your Chacos... the horror!
Ten bucks (= $0.10 in Carmel dollars) says chewing gum is a misdemeanor. 

Good stuff... I was going to share it with my son, who feels the same about the junior high he just finished, but look what I got at the end of the vid:

These are fine choices as long as you don’t consider them anything more than a relatively wholesome dessert, since all the sugar pretty much negates the helpful bacteria.

Yep. My husband is unruffled by my lifelong crush on Jonathan Pryce.

More bizarre than the twisted face in the center is the empathy I’m seeing in the faces behind him.

Yes thanks, wow... !

7. The light in the hallway / stairs must be on a timer that routinely shuts off at that exact moment when your foot is between the last uneven step and the marble floor of the rez-de-chaussée so that your sister who is visiting you sprains her ankle and you have to leave your own dinner party and jump in a taxi to…

It was all the classes.
