Well obviously. That’s where Harry gets the idea. He’s out drinking with Justin and they get to talking about the Maple Syrup heists, and Harry tells Justin he’d always wanted to go visit what he imagines are the secret maple syrup caves. Then Justin tells him it’s actually a fairly nondescript building, and he…

All I know is that when I draft this book, there’ll be an extended scene involving the Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve, where Justin and Harry get drunk and then decide to “break in,” which eventually culminates in a a very steamy warm maple syrup bath scene.

Thankfully, that’s not an obstacle because she acquired citizenship at birth through her father, which makes her a “natural born” citizen. She’s not an immigrant, just biracial.

Yeah, that had been my thought. I’ll probably end up tossing most of it. Oh well.

A depressingly large swath of the world is getting very regressive on issues of feminism and equality, as traditional gender norms are seemingly resurgent in the more conservative pushes of the modern nationalist era.

That last picture of her is so frickin’ awesome. She looks so thrilled to be back and having her baby with her. And if that’s not a look of sheer exhausted joy I don’t know what is!

Yeah, I have some leftover brussels sprouts cores right now from making shaved brussels sprouts salad that I was considering using in stock. But I’m not sure how that would taste.

The amount of water used for deep rinsing of carrots, enough to get all the dirt and bacteria off, is in my opinion more wasteful than just using a vegetable peeler to peel off the skin. I know technically you can wash carrots sufficiently, but I’ve always found you have to sit and scrub for a good 30 seconds under…

As someone who cooks almost every night, I can unfortunately confirm that I fill a trash can depressingly fast with carrot peels, herb stems, gristle and fat cut off of meat, and other byproducts of cooking that I should probably compost but can’t because I live in an apartment building with no compost options. Even…

I mean, he is 6'8" so that gets a lot of people going.

This is definitely 100% unrelated to Cohen and the US Attorney’s Office for the SDNY. For a start, the US Attorneys are not working New York State; they’re feds! But it’s not fishy to say that immigration agencies are going after New York state for other things; ICE in particular has singled out NYC for targeting,…

I have some real issues with the Intercept’s slant on certain issues but they have done some really excellent investigative reporting on issues around immigration and cybersecurity. I would absolutely not dismiss The Intercept out of hand.

“It’s always interesting to see that there’s one voice out there in the wilderness who’s speaking the truth,” a woman told me as the audience filed out.

But can any law types out there shed more light around people over the age of 18 ending up in family court? How/why this happens? Why it’s important that we are able to do it? I ask out of curiosity, not because I believe in an age of 18 cut off.

Just heard about this today and am genuinely shocked. USCIS’s interpretation makes no fucking sense. The law (SIJS) specifically allows for any individual who is under 21 to get SIJS. Under New York law, a guardian can be appointed for any individual who is under 21. This isn’t controversial, as New York family courts…

It isn’t the Supreme Court’s job to make moral decisions. It’s the Supreme Court’s job to determine what is and is not constitutional.

I’m going to be real; I’d last like 6 hours. Which isn’t bad! But then the deep need to fill the silence would overwhelm me and I’d crack a joke and BAM. Monster chow.

Cornbread interior should be smooth and fluffy with just a tiiiiiny amount of “grit” from the cornmeal and nothing inside (I’ll accept cheese, tho, since that’s melted). I will 100% fight you on this one.

Seriously, though, corn bits in cornbread is disgusting and warrants me throwing it in the trash and looking the person in the eyes while doing so.
