Good news if true - the repair workers who have been in our building to fix the HVAC and wear buffs around their necks but not actually over their face as they stroll past the “masks must be worn at all times in this area” sign are actually doing us a favor.

Ok but what about those diner trips after you’ve been like discussing end of life options for someone you love and you’re just trying not to be at the hospital for a while but you can’t go home yet? =[

What’s the collective thought on managing drips caused by crying rather than a cold? Obviously you can still throw the tissues out yourself but there are a lot of “why would you blow your nose at the table at all” comments and I’ve had to have some tough conversations that need to be finished without dashing to the…

Seriously not playing gotcha here - what if you’re crying? And what if you need to finish the conversation that’s making you cry? 

YES this sounds great! I have the same feelings about tamagoyaki. I used to make egg bites with a sous vide using small Ball jam jars — do you think that would work for this as well or is the thin wall of the bag a component here?

Yeees! I’m going to Chicago over the summer and this place is going on my list!

So excited to try this. We make a crab meat dip that’s like a cousin to this recipe that my friends blackmail me to make and I’ll share the recipe because I love you all.  

This is a really good point!! I want to play with the rhetoric of it, but I’m not disagreeing with it at all. Let’s state that as you said, support for LGBT+ rights isn’t political in theory, but in America is political in practice because parties have taken opposite sides. Can we also then say that while support for…

I understand the sentiment behind what you’re saying, I really do. But when I read things like “this could have just been avoided by not bringing these types of things onto a platform where it needn’t have had to be mentioned” the world seems a little bleaker. Chung Ng Wai is FROM Hong Kong. This isn’t someone…

Furthermore, slavery existed in America because it existed in Europe first and crossed the ocean with it. Africa is still reeling from the effects of European colonialism. 

And black cherry is still the flavor to beat!

I’ve always liked seltzer but I’ve been drinking more of it since we moved to a new apartment where the water has an almost garlicky taste?? You can smell it when it’s ice cubes and it makes you think your glass is dirty. The smell/taste filters out with a Brita, but I can’t help but be paranoid that the smell means…

I’m just furious about Helena. I will give Michelle the fact that her cake wasn’t 20's themed in the slightest. Poorly executed geode thingy and weird pastel pineapples? I was shrieking when she showed her design, it was way off base and hideous to boot. There have been better geode cakes on Sugar Rush for crying out…

They’re making them so difficult it’s not fun to watch! I want to see masterful baking, not sweaty struggling. That’s a very different kind of show. 

I appreciate how attentive servers are here. I will say that one thing I notice in a lot of restaurants is that the check-in on how the food is is a bit too early in the meal. Nine times out of ten if the waiter comes to ask how our food is less than five minutes after the plate arrived, everyone’s mouth is full and…

Very same!! The first time we watched him I was very dubious just because he wasn’t Mel and Sue, and all change is bad. Two or three episodes in to his first season I turned to my husband and was like, “haha wow I just realized who he kind of reminds me of — Old Greg” and he was like “... ... that IS Old Greg, you…

HARD agree. I’ve never been so mad at a movie for ruining an actual perfect casting. When I read the books, he was who was in my head for Lee:

You’re not wrong, I think the word that everyone is implying but not stating is “elaborate.” We all gotta wash our grimy faces but it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg!

ME TOO! At first I was compelled to be cynical about it, then I remembered the plug ‘n’ play Lord of the Rings game I had in high school that had it all: terrible graphics, bad music, not much licensed content, AND a motion controlled sword thingy. It was weirdly hard. I played it for HOURS and it was great exercise,…

The show’s most frequent listener these days might in fact be Ray himself. He said he still listens to the show “all the time,” mostly to hear his brother’s voice and remind himself about times they had together.
