For some reason, your lesser-known apples list got me really excited and I want to try them all. I’m in Ireland now and I’m pumped whenever I see Orange Pippins in stock. They’re delightful (and I believe an ancestor of the Pink Lady). 

Or himself. 

Gorgeous. 

Oof. 

I was going to make a porchetta, but the butcher couldn’t get me a skin-on belly yesterday. Instead, I wound up making a creamy seafood tagliatelle with spiny lobster (which they call crayfish here), salmon and some fresh shellfish. I threw some broiled asparagus on the sides to pretend I was being healthy, then…

Tragically, Republican infighting would probably prevent them from ever reaching a sufficient number of votes to override. 

God fucking dammit. 

These Booker takes make me suspect that Deadspin writers have never actually watched him play. 

It’s worse than you think. Any person who thinks that the Wizards got anything good out of this haven’t been watching Ariza with the Suns. He was brought in as a stabilizing factor for a young team, underperformed for a month, and then zoned out as he got frustrated. He was frustratingly mediocre for a veteran on a…

When I used to live in the Middle East, we’d always send back interesting spice mixes for Christmas - including za’atar! In the UAE there’s a huge Desi influence, so we started shipping back boxes of mind blowing tandoori spice, Gulfi fish spice and other awesome blends. These were all great gifts because they were…

Apparently Ariza’s trade value was even shittier than we ‘d thought. Also, Austin Rivers? What the fuck. 

What you say to people when you probably should have been honest in the first place.

Also, it’s really expensive to heat or cool big places! 

This relates to the problem of survivor’s bias - just because other people have succeeded in something doesn’t mean you will succeed in that thing.

I live in Ireland and this sort of apathetic bullshit is representative of half of my email correspondence here.

Fuck Sarver, but Ayton was definitely the right pick.

Everything about this sounds like a money laundering scheme.

My wife was lactose intolerant for a while, so I was forced to purchase all manner of milks from ostensibly unmilkable grains and pulses. On a scale of “occasionally use as a substitute when cheaper (and Jesus) much less expensive, real milk runs out” and “why would you willingly drink this, and Oh My God this cost…

I know - you could walk 5 minutes from the Pizza Hut at the Sphinx exit and get around the “security.”

It looked like shit sex anyway. If I was going for international notoriety for a sex act, I’d at least do it doggystyle, or some other, more camera-friendly position. 

His discomfort was the clear highlight. After a while I muted the audio and just watched him.
