“you can make a big batch and eat from it throughout the week.” I’m not keeping something made with eggs and sausage in my fridge longer than about three days - by day 6 I’d be pretty iffy on that, and the sogginess of the waterlogged pasta seems like it would be a turnoff too. Have you tried this on day 7? I gots to…

Right. I was casting around trying to put my finger on why I’m creeped out by this. Full disclosure: I am not/have never been a sex worker, but I have borne two children, and I think I’m a fairly open-minded person and I think sex work is fine if all parties are getting what they need, it’s safe, not exploitative,…

Turned the end of the beef roast into soup, turned the cranberry sauce into muffins. Will try dumplings next year!

YES. Stuffing is wet garbage cooked inside a dead animal. What’s the appeal? Old bread, some vegetable bits and squishy stuff like eggs, shoved into a raw carcass. Stuffing was originally created to flavor game birds, not as a dish in its own right. 

Bacon fat. 

Actually, I find that for any squash, a metal ice cream scoop is perfect - the edge is slightly bladed and the mechanism on the side helps empty the contents of the scoop neatly. The little cooky-dough one would be fine in a small squash if you don’t have grapefruit spoons.

NO THERE ARE NOT, and I will fight you on this one. About 50 percent of Greek restaurants here in the US make their saganaki with kasseri and it is wrong wrong wrong. I actually think it might be politically motivated: kasseri is natively Greek, while halloumi is indeed Cypriot and because half of Cyprus is Turkish .…

Honey, no. This might make a nice dinner but a hellish cleanup - you’ll have to soak the oven rack in the bathtub to get all the chicken goo off of it. Take the broiler pan assembly that comes with all ovens so it’s already paid for, line the bottom pan part with foil, and place your vegetables in that. Put the…

Right on. Neither one of those guys is small change.

Are you referring to the Grover Washington/Bill Withers “Just the Two of Us?” Bill Withers also recorded “Ain’t No Sunshine” and is the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame for a reason. Grover Washington is no slouch either, and is considered a pretty significant figure in American jazz.

I sub in walnut oil and replace the water with coffee. Also, Ghirardelli is the best boxed brand. Add some extra nuts and don’t overbake and go ahead and pass these off as homemade.

Is that . . . a $376 not-swimsuit paired with *jorts*? Well, they deserve each other, I’ll say that.

I can’t give too many details for fear of doxxing myself, but he spent a week working on a very prominent archaeological dig when he was about age 10, and as the only student working on the site genuinely inclined towards caring for young children at the time (I was an old lady by college standards) I was tasked with…

Ugh, this is so my life right now. One of my female colleagues was showing so.much. of her bra through a sheer dress today, enough that I could tell a) it didn’t fit and b) it was a pattern of light blue embroidered daisies on a white background. I work at a coed school, so several hundred boys (and girls, whatevs)…

I’m here to spread joy - glad it brought a little twinkle to someone’s day.

Maybe you could get some layers cut into it, you know, for volume and fullness. Release the curl a little bit, right?

That fox was fly - ain’t no shame in crushing on that. Had a job, too, which puts him some distance ahead of a few three-dimensional guys I’ve dated.

Remember how this went down for Katie Holmes? She made one little offhand comment and then suddenly she was a hostage to Scientology and it took years for her to rescue herself. Chloe, RUN.

I feel all of this. I live in Sarasota and employers think we can pay the rent with sunshine. My husband hasn’t had a raise in 10 years and housing prices are ridiculous because the people who buy here are retired or independently wealthy and don’t have to tie those costs to any realistic salary figure. So, $30,000 a…

I have something important to say. This bullshit trend of doughnuts shops opening up and claiming to have a million amazing varieties that all turn out to be simple cake doughnuts with assorted stupid toppings is blasphemy and must stop. I love plain cake doughnuts. I also love cereal and cookies. I do not like them…
