In case anyone is interested in more background, I found this: http://sophia.smith.edu/blog/danceglob…. I can't vouch for the person's intellectual conclusions, but it provides some more history on voguing.

What?! Why did I think you had kids? So weird.

Oh man, this really could have been a great long-form piece. There is so much here I didn't know and I want to know moooooore!!

It was awful. But it happens very, very rarely thankfully. I think you probably get less sleep your first few weeks of motherhood. :-D

I think you meant to respond to Jolie but YES! Me too.

No way! But I love in Florida so I can access pretty good local strawberries. Grocery store strawberries are horrible.

I KNOW. I got them for my mom about three years ago and she had never had them, and now I have to get them every year for Mother's Day. Its fine... easy gift and all... but she would be legit upset if I stopped sending them.

Nice, thanks! ATK is awesome.

No I even googled it and I've never seen it in my life!! :( Agreed on honeydew. That one is rarely good.

It's got three trays: one for boiled eggs, one for poached, and one for omelettes. Frankly, to me, a soft boiled egg is basically the same as a poached one. It comes with a little cup that you fill with water to a certain line depending on how much you want it cooked. That one up there was just under the "medium"

I have never heard of this melon!?

It really is my favorite appliance. I really, really love eggs.

It's really one of those things where it pays to learn how to pick a good one!

Haha. Well no but it isn't like playing the odds. If you know how to pick a good one, and you buy a whole one from a fruit stand in season, the odds you will taste something good are way, way higher. I eat cantaloupe all the time when its in season and I can't remember the last time I ate a bad one.

Cantaloupe is one of those fruits where 96% of them are horribly unripe but when you finally have a good one, its transcendent. Like a Harry & David pear.

Yeah the hours were definitely awful!!

I would start with the crockpot or casseroles or stews. They make tons of food so you can do Sunday night meals to eat for a few days, and they're very simple. One of the hardest things about learning to cook is cooking a bunch of components and having them ready at the same time; crockpots and casseroles limit that

When I was in trial last summer, I slept in the guest room most nights, because I would get home from the office at 1am and be up at 4. It was actually rather lovely.

Eggs really are such a perfect food. Many of my favorite meals are just delicious vegetables + crusty bread + runny egg. How can you go wrong?

Now playing

If you are going to be cooking weeknight meals for family with limited time... get a pressure cooker. My favorite cooking device in the world is the Breville Fast-Slow Cooker. It's a combination pressure cooker and slow cooker. So you can braise something overnight if you have the time, or you can pressure cook a
