I really miss beer (I’m doing keto, too). I thought Truly was OK but just so unsatisfying. So I’ve started making a million iterations of vodka sodas. There are countless 0 calorie sodas to choose from and tons of sugar free syrups you can get (ginger was my most recent find and it has really upped my cocktail game).…

I have the same issue with hard seltzers, I’m interested in them b/c I want a very low sugar drink, but they all taste too strongly of artificial sweetener to me. 

Yeah I made a stupid impulse purchase of that Bud Lite hard seltzer, I think it was called Aloha Beaches or something equally inane, and of course it was a dud. So my boyfriend suggested using it as a cocktail mixer and it worked fine.

I can grasp what she probably means by ‘waxy’ and ‘fatty’, but ‘hairy’? That one stumped me. 

Well and typically you’d only be allowed to work part-time hours with a student visa, so it’d be really hard to earn enough to cover your living expenses. The cheap tuition is a huge help, but unless you have a big savings account or take out a bunch of loans, I don’t know how you can afford room/board. 

I started an herb garden this year and it is SO satisfying to go outside and snip something to add to whatever I’m making (a lot of it is going into cocktails tbh). 

Just pick a different fucking name! Sweet Jesus.

I know it’s kinda fucking unbelievable, but I actually can believe they were oblivious to all that the word ‘antebellum’ carries with it. There are a bunch of white people who hear the word ‘antebellum’ and just picture picturesque plantations (just as beautiful estates, somehow avoiding how intrinsic slavery was to…

We haven’t gone out to eat since early March, but we’re trying our damndest to keep our favorite local place afloat by ordering delivery from them as often as possible and tipping really well. We’ve actually been ordering from them more often than we ever went there for in-person dining before.

Oh wow, strange. 

Something is definitely not right, so I feel really weird about it, too. Seems like it’s probably kinder to just wish her the best but not broadcast this stuff. She’s not well, she’s not in charge of her own life, the few people in her life are probably not genuinely there for her but for what adjacency to her can do…

Same, I thought ‘well she’s always been a good dancer, so let’s see’ and quickly I felt really uncomfortable secondhand embarrassment b/c you ca definitely tell something is really off and she doesn’t know how she comes across. 

That case was WILD. What I found most chilling (in addition to the brutality of it) was how the girls put on this big, dramatic show for the cops and then when they were alone and talking, they sounded like remorseless cold-blooded murderers (which they were, but it was unsettling to hear 2 teenage girls sound that…

Same! And I’ve decided to stop feeling embarrassed by it. I checked the internets and it does indeed hydrate as well as flat water (assuming you’re drinking the kind of sparkling water that doesn’t have sugar/artificial sweeteners/citric acid). 

Our best local [Mexican] taco guy doesn’t put cheese on tacos. But if he likes you he’ll add sauteed peppers and onions. 

But the dairy engineers have given us knafeh and billions of cheesecake creations, always doing the Lord’s work.

I’d just ask that they double up on that chile-cilantro queso, yum! 

I really like her style. 

Yes, it’s the most beautiful and it’s my favorite Pixar movie by far. The strawberry and parm scene is my fave.

His safety is off, though.
