I tried to claim my name, but it said my name was already in use on Kinja, then when I picked a new one and made an account with it, it wouldn’t let me login on gmail, twitter, or facebook, only create a burner. So burner it is.

If he doesn't refer to himself as Mr. Jackpots, he's really bad at marketing.

Agree, but I do find myself singing it every once in a while.

The black bean taquitos are excellent.

Much like not entering a land war in Asia, going in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and never wearing a red shirt at Target, never get a cart at Trader Joe's is a key life rule.

Pita chips are the same there too. And they are $1 less than at TJs. Or $2 less than Stacy's.

These America's Test Kitchen ones are really good. http://www.epicurious.com/r…

Yes! I reinstituted reading time before bed. Sometimes I read the novel or whatever real book I'm reading. Sometimes I read an old children's book. I read Bread and Jam for Frances the other night. It is a lovely and relaxing way to begin the sleep process.

Think outside the box! Think outside the bun! Run for the border. Eat fresh. Head for the mountains.

Cosign. I have been saying for a while that as soon as it's over, I'm ditching my cable, but it's going to really difficult to let that dvr go with the full season on there.

Who Thought This Was a Good Idea by Alyssa Mastromonaco. Loving it so far.

I went with friends to this tiny little restaurant the Monday night. It's all carryout but they have some tables outside you can sit at, and they brought us so much extra food it wasn't even funny. I still have leftovers for lunch today. Everything was super tasty and I got to try things I never would have (omelette…

And having a stripper come fishing is just asking for trouble. All those hooks…
