And don’t forget most countries charge an exit fee that has to be in the country’s own currency.

I thought it was just me! I have to refresh if  want to add a photo or .gif

Add to that, the design of the yoplait container kills small animals - especially skunks. They stick their heads into the cup to get at the sweet stuff and can’t get their heads out. People have been complaining to Yoplait for years to no avail.

The libraries here in Seattle have giant book sales a couple times a year to sell the donated books.

There is nothing wrong with the food - it is the shaming that people are upset about. They made it very obvious who was poor - in front of their peers.

Yeah!! I did not get yogurt until I was in my 60s and discovered Greek Gods.

Chobani does so many social justice good that I buy their yogurt often (my preference is Greek Gods black cherry). Thank you for posting this story.

Oops! I forgot to say thank you for the recipe - will make this ASAP.

Most of the Chinese restaurants I have been to in the US will make Singapore Noodles for you if you ask. Not quite as good, some will make garlic noodles. Often, I will ask for the Chinese menu (I don’t read or understand Chinese but the photocopied Chinese menus have a word or 2 of English description). Here in…

I went looking for suggestions for Irish whiskey on google and ended up watching youtube vids of Irish people trying things for the first time (oddly, the show was called “Irish People Try - The Try Channel”) It was fun.

Since I knew the bartender, on slow nights he would make upside down margaritas - that where you lay your head on the bar and the tender makes the margarita in your mouth. (punch line: “but man when he grinds your mouth in the salt dish - that can sting”

I got realigned very fast when I ordered pork in Paris (in a small 4 table restaurant next to Hotel Moliere) - my waiter told me they serve it pink so I tried it and now cook it that way myself.

Since chocolate is a colloidal solid with the cocoa powder suspended in oil. In the old days, bad chocolate was like sandpaper because they did not blend the chocolate enough to smooth the rough edges on the powder.

The vanilla plant is an orchid; there may not be any wild vanilla left in the world; there are a couple hundred VOCs given off when you let vanilla ice cream melt on your tongue - they wind their way up into your nose, to the back of your throat...sigh! Eating good vanilla ice cream can take forever. People laugh at…

My mother is French, she says that the mold is a flavor enhancer and eats the cheese anyway. The different blue-cheeses are created by leaving them in a cave to turn moldy. I do not eat the green on sharp cheese - I just thought you should hear about a lift-time cheese-eater who probably built up an immunity.

I never use powder dishwasher detergent - my repairman said that if you use just a little too much, it won’t all dissolve. The undissolved powder then begins to sandblast your glassware; I use liquid detergent and do not over use.

Some of us have no clue about how ‘best’ to do a room. I am getting rid of a forest green leather couch and want to do something but do not know what. I suppose I should call someone, sigh!

Wasn’t it “clean and well-spoken”?

I have friends who freak out when I tell them I use kosher salt to clean my c-i pans. It is a nice, soft scrubbing compound that will help remove some burnt-on crud. I am, however, smart enough not to use water when I use salt.

Seattle has Beth’s which serves 12 egg omelets on a huge platter of hash-browns (which are unlimited). I admit to eating the omelet and the hashbrowns in one sitting in under an hour - when I asked if I won anything, the server just laughed (I was hoping for a “I ate the whole thing” sign on their wall but nah).…
