Except that’s not how it works at all. Using your own tablet or whatever you can access the movies without paying for the wifi. I really prefer it as hate earbuds and no longer carry corded headphones. Let me use my device and wireless headphones. Or you can just download something onto your own device to watch.

No, they have always worn the same clothes both days. Contestants, judges and hosts.

It’s like the bakers who show up having never made a genoise sponge. We are ten seasons in, there are some basic things you should expect to have come up, choux and genoise are two of them. 

I know! He sounds like a really lovely person to dine with. The real title should be “I Stopped Looking At Menus Ahead of Time and Now My Friends Will Go Out To Eat With Me Again”

I would argue that large shared dinners are the perfect use of looking at the menu ahead of time. I have spent so many dinners with building frustration because no one can decide what they want but “we should do this family style!” or you end up with a really unbalanced meal with no protein/carb/veg/whatever.  

And takes 10x longer if you are outside the Acela route. 

The whole premise of the show is that they are home bakers and most home bakers don’t have blast freezers or anti-griddles. A big part of the show is understanding the limitations of the tent and working within them. It feels like the one or two bakers who show up every year who have never made a genoise sponge and…

They have taken to supplying everyone with their own mini-freezer during weeks when there is a frozen element to the bake after “bingate”. In this case it looked like Henry had the freezer to himself and should have left it alone until it the end. Every time he went to check it I wanted to yell at him.

I’m really worried about what (new) horrors are going to start happening in the next 18 months. As it gets closer and closer to the election things are going to get worse. I fear we haven’t seen anything yet.

And water is wet. Obviously most of the pregnancy related deaths are preventable. If they weren’t the USA’s maternal mortality rate would be the same as the EU. 

Get a new doc if you can and then get a referral to a pelvic floor PT or OT. The pelvic pain and incontinence are treatable. You deserve to be continent, pain free and have a good sex life! Also, “please document that you are declining to do X” is a great phrase to throw around if you feel like you aren’t getting the…

I think that there is a really good chance Pence will get taken down with Trump. It will be very hard for him to prove he knew nothing and wasn’t involved in all the shit that went (and continues to go) down.

Background checks only tell you about the horrible things people have been charged with. I can 100% believe that nothing turned up, either because this was a first time offense or he has never been charged. Knowing how (not) seriously we take assaults targeting women or vulnerable adults it wouldn’t surprise me if the…

Clue!

I love cottage cheese but I hate how much salt is in it. It is so hard to find low salt cottage cheese!

We had a guest speaker a few weeks ago. Included in her long list of Woke White Person credentials was something about working to end the genocide of the elephant nation. At which point I decided I could stop listening.

I would be way more sympathetic if Scarlet Witch (who has seen some shit) didn’t follow through with the whole “kill the person you love to save the universe” thing. But of course the man children screw it up and it’s up to the women (hey, hey Captain Marvel) to fix it.

Ask them about the thing they are carrying around. I once painfully watched an older lady try to get a conversation going with a co-worker’s kid for a full 10 min, he was having none of it. I noticed he was lugging a rock the size of his head around so I asked him about it. Friends for life.

Our solution was to both change our middle names to my former name and I took his last name. We want to have kids and I want us all to have the same name and hyphens get really unwieldy after one generation.
I also like what my friends did. Both women who wanted to share a last name after they got married but didn’t…
