I don’t read too much into it. My husband has two brothers (no royals...but all are fairly well-off) and they aren’t close, but they and we are cordial. We all have our own families and live separate lives, with different views on a variety of subjects. There have been times when they were closer and times when they…

My take - reasonable stop + negligent cop = horrible tragedy. She should be held accountable absolutely!

Thankfully, I haven’t lost anyone close to me. I did lose meeting my first and only (thus far) grandchild born in Australia last April. She will likely be over 18 months before we can hold her. We can’t get that time back, and I get a pang of longing and sorrow when I see other grandparents and their infant…

I’m Impossible for burgers and Beyond Meat for sausage.

If you want turkey and gravy, you can buy the Gardein tur’ky breaded cutlets (which come with gravy!) and fry those up. They’re really dang good for a weeknight with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable or salad. Not my BEST meal, but certainly hits the spot if you’re looking for a “Thanksgivingish” experience in…

I would totally bring that to a livestock gender reveal.

Just got my second dose of Moderna yesterday morning. My arm is SO sore, but other than some mild achiness (which could be hypochondria), I haven’t had any symptoms so far.

We are currently in the process of downsizing (2200 square feet to 1500) from a place that has a formalish dining room and kitchen table - to a home that has a roomy kitchen but the layout isn’t really for good in-kitchen dining.

I still can’t figure out why any sandwich or salad always tastes better when someone else makes it. It can’t be nafas.

Our family sometimes has smize contests at the dinner table. No smile. You have to SMIZE! It’s hilarious.

I finally bought myself one a few (0r many?) years back. I used it a lot to make family sweets for a long time, and after that, I would occasionally make treats for my co-workers. Now...I’m at the stage of my life where I do not want to bake at all. Except cornbread, which doesn’t need a mixer. So now I’m thinking of…

Why would you partner with anyone who wants to spend 30,000 on a wedding? Unless you can afford your own substantial down payment on a home and can afford to throw a huge party, that makes no sense. No one gives a shit about your wedding except you. Just buy your own damn Kitchen Aid mixer.

That sounds Fine and Dandy. I’m not into ice cream, but my son-in-law is obsessed with Jeni’s popcorn and peanut ice cream that I served him one time, which I think is discontinued? I always look for it when they are coming over. 

I’m really not into birthdays, but I have a dear friend who is. She’s older than the rest of our friend group and she turned 70 last June. Covid! A friend of one of our friends let us use her family rental house for the afternoon. It’s on a bayou and has big sliding glass doors and a two tier deck. I ordered bagels,…

Our neighbor makes naan on his front porch with a clay oven - which he shares with us. They also have really good weed and play great music. I don’t smoke the devil’s lettuce (yet), but I love them. They supply the naan and chana and I supply the smoked paprika/lemon seared shrimp and roasted eggplant with yogurt…

Statler Brothers! That made me laugh! I actually had a dream about the Statler Brothers about a month ago (not a sexy one), and in the dream I asked my dreaming self, “Why are we dreaming about the Statler Brothers?” My parents used to be big fans so I know their music, but it’s been a very long time since I’ve even…

Avgolemono. I make a vegetarian version. It’s thickened with egg yolks, so it’s nourishing but so mild (even with the lemon) and easy to eat. 

She can’t control him, but she can divorce him. This irrational behavior will only get worse with age. Best to cut your losses now.

Needs more sticky sour mix and skunky mop notes.

I live in Florida too, in a deeply red area. It’s extremely frustrating - effecting change is like punching a cement wall. We will be moving soon to a slightly less red area soon.
