The best thing about clafoutis is you don’t have the share with the guys, because they won’t be able to find it.

Dark indeed. It is a sad dusky day.

As an alternative to canned broth, you might want to try Better Than Bouillon, a concentrated base that you can make a small amount of broth from.

Dwayne got full custody of his kids with his ex-wife. She’s not in the picture.

I second Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Farmer Boy—the act of rising at five am almost sounded reasonable if you got pie for breakfast.

Luke’s, from Gilmore Girls. I always figured it was just a greasy spoon, but then there was that episode where Sookie was out and he had to take over the restaurant at the Dragonfly (another place I want to eat) and the fancy food he made was amazing. Man has far more skills than we could have ever dreamed of.
