Mangoes are so pricey I peel them with a potato peeler and then carefully handle the slick fruit to slice down either side of the pit. I eat the bonanza around the pit and then cut the 2 halves into cubes. Very little waste.

This is hitting me hard. I cottoned on to using Romaine as my go-to lettuce for salads because it keeps so long in the fridge. I went to my usual grocery store for some and the shelf was empty.

That’s surprising. The PNW scored very high in the nationwide returned wallet test. I love the NA’s bargain basement, I found rain pants and bike pannier bags there.

But who is more internet savvy? Look at all the mommy blogs (and commenters). I think shaming comes in all ages.

I do breast down when I roast a chicken, but then I turn it up for the last half hour to get some color. Sorry your FIL doesn’t know about this trick.

That happened to me. The Bird fit in the oven but one roasting pan was too small for the bird, and the bigger roasting pan was perfect for the bird but the bird+pan didn’t fit in my oven (weird!). Luckily I had a paella pan that both held the bird AND fit into the oven. T-day saved!

Not just that but when I lived in London and donated blood, the after donation refreshments included a tiny can of lager or stout. That’ll restore you! I got all my friends to come donate blood with me this way.

I love canned cranberry sauce so much that I’ll pop open a can when I buy a roast chicken.

Oh now I want to make acorn coffee. I read a book about Oregon pioneers and they made acorn coffee. Do you think we can grind them in our usual coffee grinder?

A Knacker’s Yard is a slaughterhouse, so you are figuratively so tired, you are ready for slaughter.

Someone start a GoFundMe for her!

And another thing, King, the teachers and admins must have forgotten that particular page of the handbook themselves. Why? Because a few days before picture day (and everyone knows when picture day is), what they did not do was tell the little girl, “hey, by the way, you may want to take the red out of your hair…

Why would she do that? She has a kid here.

He’s channeling Billy Crudup in that photo

I’m okay with dad bringing kid to work, but not putting kid to work. Junior should have sat in the restaurant reading a book or something. Seriously child labor laws, food handler’s permit, etc etc. 

I can see Aidy channeling Ethel Merman.

Finished Pachinko. I have a bunch of Luiselli titles TBR.

(Except she brought him to work on the show)

Isn’t that kinda like human trafficking?
