You are trying. It’s a process. My husband has never been a picky eater, but there are a few things he does not like. Through trial and error and try again, I’ve won him over to beets in some preparations, and mushy peas if they are served with fish and chips, squash and chickpeas in homemade soups.

Not to be THAT person, but isn’t it “affect” in the first paragraph? Sincerely asking because I have always struggled with effect and affect and whenever I use them it’s like a speed bump I have to crawl over.

Dang you and your sciency fake news!

I so wish this were true. I’m pescatarian, and the only drive-thru fast option I have is the Maca Fish Filet. Plus, I adore tuna salad. It’s a crazy thing to adore.

There isn’t one dressing to bind them all. Different foods/salads need different dressings! A beet, tomato, red onion, arugula and goat cheese salad needs a splash of fruity vinegar and good olive oil. Oh, and fennel pollen!

Ah, that helps a lot.

Gravy is just fat/flour/flavoring - like stock, milk, spices, meat (sausage or the like). My favorite is tomato gravy, a Southern treat.

Of course. But I’m still hoping for a puppy or a kitten.

Turn down for WHAT!? Glass in a Hot Pocket is the least of my worries.

Your mom was right. (She did not pay me to say that. It’s just true.)

I understand that! And your recipe sounds really great. I don’t eat sugary stuff (mainly because I have no sweet tooth), so I allow myself to casually consume things like rice, “good” bread, potatoes and pasta several times a week. Coming from an era where white bread was served at EVERY meal...I did not understood…

100% would try. 100% would not make. I love cauliflower; Cauliflower is not rice. What’s wrong with regular rice anyway? Tens of millions of people eat rice three meals a day. I’m not Asian, and I travel with my rice cooker. I’m not eating shitty rice.

Needs a split-rail fence prop for her left arm and her right hand (in a fist) needs to be under her chin - like all cute. Some red gingham might also be appropriate. 

I’ve never seen it in oil here either. It’s always a vinegar-pickle type vegetable mix. 

My advise: remain sheveled all the time. Also try to be gruntled about being sheveled.  

I have several of these - some from my grandmother. I use them, and rinse-wash them IMMEDIATELY after using. Just plate your food, take the pan to the sink, rinse it out, wipe with an unsoaped brush or scrub sponge and then put it back on the stove. If you do this right away, the residual heat from cooking will dry it…

Just remind him and yourself that your only legacy is the quality of your love. 

I accompanied my mother on her cancer journey for a year and half. It NEVER occurred to me that she would die, so I settled into my role as “the fixer” - arranging flights, airbnbs, rental cars as we frequently traveled to Texas for her treatments. And she was such a trooper! Man. Despite everything, she found joy in…

Squirrels do not carry rabies. Their body temperature is too low. (There is some speculation that as our - human - body temperatures continue to lower over time, we might one day be immune from rabies, though I don’t rule out the idea that at that point rabies might perform a “touche” of its own.)

I love Cavender’s and my spice pantry is never without it! It’s really great on veggie burgers - either slice them into strips after cooking, sprinkle with Cavender’s and make into a vegetarian gyro, with feta, tzatziki, lettuce and tomato. Or just make a greek-inspired burger. Also great on fish, vegetables and…
