“but Amazon Fresh is generally limited to urban areas”

Because UPS, USPS, Fedex aren’t gig economy workers, usually. They tend to have jobs that pay better than uber-type workers. They have health insurance.

My grandmother watched me while my mom was at work when I was a toddler, then after school when I was a kid. She always watched General Hospital, and then this. So of course, I did! Here I was, aged 4 to 9, watching all this gothic wonder.

We only had them at holiday times, but so good.

Oh, I know what they are, and where they are, and all that. It’s just that I didn’t have them my first 30 years, living in Philadelphia as a Sicilian-American!

They call it “chilli”. It’s used like we’d say generically “hot pepper”.

Naaaa. These people give curries to their babies.

Prue used to judge on the Great British Menu, which had pro chefs competing. (If you can find it, it’s a lovely piece of typie British competition, i.e. genial and zen-enhancing).

Wrong vertical!

Oh wow. I miss them. We used to get them for my Dad (a Joseph) for his saint’s name day. We stopped after he died in 1992. :( 

Yeah, Philly native, Sicilian-American and what? Never heard of them!

Never have I been more sad that I don’t have a waffle iron.

I’ve been drinking seltzer my whole life - now 57 yrs. We got it delivered when I was a kid in Philadelphia, in cases of those glass bottles with siphon tops. Recyclable! They were great.

THIS WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT. Obviously this was mandated to cover up something Obama put in.

Well, that’s not true. We’ve ALL seen her naked. But he has to rely on photos, like all of us. 

Someone should share my pain!

I think they make people look like sharpeis.

There’s never a bad time to share my favorite Marmite recipe: https://www.nigella.com/recipes/spaghetti-with-marmite

Ahhh you’re getting on my favorite add-in! I’ve begun calling Marmite my “umami bomb.” Adding it into pan sauces is also heavenly.
