The correct answer here is a cookie baking party, and everyone takes home a variety of cookies. My husband has been doing this for years, and it’s a lovely way to throw an open-house style party. I do bake some sugar cookies the night before so the folks want to can decorate, but let’s be real, we’ve got meat-tray…

Cottage cheese, softboiled egg, and some salt and pepper. Good stuff.

We’re doing the dinner the day of. There’s a chili cook-off this weekend, so no need to put of the romance till post-beans. I’m baking a 6" plain cheesecake tonight, and tomorrow my husband and I are making a fresh pasta alfredo and shrimp scampi. We’ll probably find a nice bottle of wine, polish it off and then catch…

And publicizing it all right before many, many local November elections? I haven’t dug into it enough to have an opinion on her stance, but right before elections? The hell, lady?

Yeeeeeep. Just be done with it. Apparently my Mom’s co-workers were just distressed that we didn’t have a registry. Distressed?! We lived by ourselves for almost 10 years. We just moved into together and, between the two of us, donated a whole household’s worth of stuff! Please let me stop purging!

Hear hear! I have never watched a State of the Union. I always read them the next day, but this guy? I want to know what vile mess is coming out of his mouth.

Nope. Any sane person understands what a split vote does to an electorate. No one is so simple minded as to think their third party vote doesn’t impact the country. Quite frankly, if think you can vote third party and life will just go on for the disenfranchised then you might need to check your privilege as well as…

I watched a state Senate debate in which the “non-partisan” candidate, when asked about abortion, said anything other than upholding Roe v Wade is political grandstanding on the backs of children. I’ve never clapped so hard in my life.

You guys all just made my morning.

As a minority female who is pretty used to hating how her politicians look and act, I’m going to be upset about this for a little bit, but I’ll get used to it just like every other damn time.

You need one. It puts every other method of cooking meat and desserts like these to shame.

I made the chocolate cheesecake for my birthday, and yes, yes, a million times yes. I love my immersion circulator. Immersion things forevah!

I mistakenly (and drunkenly) made inedibly, salty carbonara the other night. The obvious answer to make a sandwich out of it. You will not be sorry. May I recommend a pairing of 10 Bud Lites and a shot of Buffalo Trace?

See, now I’m just gonna spend the day messing with my works-from-home boyfriend.

I enjoyed the cup! I really did!

I would imagine that with professional bakers there will be far fewer soggy bottoms. More’s the pity.

This is the first debate I’ve made myself sit through. (There might have been bourbon involved in that decision.) But this image makes it much, much easier.

I live in Georgia near the Tennessee line, and had been up, until this election, advocating that my guy and I move to Chattanooga.

I'm super down with the OB. Luckily, I have a pretty easy time with them, and I think they're more comfortable than other brands. Bonus: No applicator to get rid of!

This is just ridiculous. It's not about compliments, it's about "Hey, me! me! me! Pay attention to meeeeee!" Ain't nobody got time for all that. I'm sorry someone was a total jerkwad with no sense of self-awareness.
