In case you’re curious but don’t want to waste perfectly good fudge and roast beef: http://www.midcenturymenu.com/2016/02/beef-fudge1967-a-vintage-recipe-test/ 

Just make sure to consume all of said fresh-baked biscuits ASAP. Much like McDonalds fries, they become basically inedible the second they cool down -- the box even acknowledges this, which is hilarious to me. (That said, they’re so scarfable when hot that I’ve rarely run into this problem.)

Gotta say, it’s kind of alarming to see a highly restrictive diet designed to treat epilepsy turned into a weight-loss fad for restaurant chains to capitalize on. Seems like more casually the term “keto” is used, the more likely it is for people to give it a shot without fully researching the many potential…

There’s a potato chip factory near my house, and when the atmospheric conditions are just right, you do get wafts of this distinctive old grease and musty potatoes smell. The chips are delicious, especially the Red Hot ones (it’s a spicy BBQ flavor); the smell, not so much. I can imagine how one could get sick of…

this is a bad look, guys

My eyes started glazing over at “bug mad”

God, this made me queasy. My little sister’s gone to this camp for art for the last two summers. I had to do a frantic skim-through to see if he was still involved there at all. 

Short answer: I can’t.

My dad always ate my leftovers — a much lesser violation than what you experienced! — and I still have a chip on my shoulder about other people eating my food/getting more than I do of a treat/etc. I just can’t imagine! 

This might be an unpopular opinion (I genuinely don’t know), but I like to store mine in the freezer rather than the fridge — the texture of partially frozen Cool Whip, halfway between whipped cream and ice cream, is just more pleasant to me.

Alas, no, but if you Google my name the Bible does show up in the search results. 

Did this experience change how you feel about horses?

I had to do a similar thing but for a Bible once. (I also got to write some of the footnotes!) The publishing company actually credited all the editors, meaning this queer atheist’s name is printed in Bibles, which is surreal to me.

This one, very specific tweed jacket. It’s actually nicely tailored! It would make me look like a sexy vintage archaeologist probably! I’ll die sad about it.

I’m echoing the Hobbit trilogy disappointment. My best friend Lindsay and I bonded in middle/high school over our massive love of the Lord of the Rings (both the books and the movie). We regularly marathoned the extended movies together, wrote LOTR fanfiction, made Middle Earth-themed feasts...

Excellent points! A note on no. 1: LW 1, if you want to look at it analytically through the lens of D&D, there are two main ways to get your stats: roll ‘em or use the point-buy system. If you’re rolling, the odds of building a character with high scores in every stat is infinitesimally small. If you do point-buy,…

as long as it can consent and won’t like... melt my insides, OBVIOUSLY YES, Star Trek has prepared me for this
