I am so confused. Did he think he had to marry a man because it’s pride month? I can’t ever wrap my mind around people who think letting others love who they want to somehow reduces their own freedom to love who they want to.

Congratulations, I guess. May your children be many, and gay.

Our Kimchi is working so hard on this and I don’t usually think of her as clever. She knows the knob opens the door so she bats at it, hangs on it.

Neither cat has been messing with the toilet paper lately though.

I made a Tang-a-Rita for a redneck themed party a friend was having and it really was better than it should be.

Just so many calories and simple carbs, not enough vitamins. Two of the household are bulking though, teenager and 20 year old trying to get bigger.

So I guess a better way to think about it is calorie dense, not unhealthy if your body needs that much energy.

Most of my Kindle books are checked out from our library system, and if they are missing one book in a series or don’t have something available I can request and results have been pretty good.

There is a LOT of content for the Kindle at the library and I’m in Florida, can’t imagine we lead in this.

Amazon keeps pushing the Kindle unlimited but I can’t see the value yet. You like it?

Just made some yesterday at the request of my kids. Boil the pasta and grate a bunch of cheese, mix of whatever you have, hopefully some is sharp. Pour the pasta out into a colander (actually mine was half cauliflower, also at request of the kids). Put a whole stick of butter (had 1lb dry pasta plus a lot of cauliflower) in the pot and back on medium heat. Into melted butter put flour to make a light roux. Once that is ready, add milk slowly, whisking continuously until you have a sauce like for biscuits and gravy. Then add the cheese, let it all melt, keep stirring but with wooden spoon; stir in some mustard and any other seasonings you want, then the pasta.

Into buttered dish, topping (I used bread crumbs, shredded cheese works, crushed potato chips also work, or any combination of these) bake at 400f or so until the top is golden.

So good, not healthy even with cauliflower.

You must not have dry hands. That step #3 should be:

Stand there rubbing on the bag with nothing happening, hand bag to husband or go over to the lettuce section and touch the ice then open the bag.

Most stuff I just toss in the cart with no plastic bag, but like to have a few for the refrigerator, they are useful.

You are showing them backwards - the NEW formulation is the one that says vegan. Did you buy the second one at Big Lots or something?

I do indeed most ardently hate. Begone!

Hope springs eternal in the hearts of women.

Whole Foods has a great bakery. It was a loaf I bought there that inspired me to start making sourdough. Locally, we have “Cuban bread” that I’m pretty sure is really Tampa bread, if you get it at the right bakeries it’s great. Supermarket bread is mostly nonsense, is that not true elsewhere?

Hi, Chip!

Yeah I had acupuncture to induce labor with one of my kids, the water had broken and I was “on the clock” so the midwife called an acupuncturist and they did some sort of electrified needles and it absolutely did work, and is apparently as effective as pitocin, or slightly more so. It was an unsettling feeling to get acupuncture done to induce pain.

Oh God bamboo haunts my dreams. It was in our backyard when we moved in, creeping ever closer to the house. I wanted to get rid of it to plant native stuff and it was such a battle. I assume it’s still under there and is just part of the “grass” now, since the whole lawn is mixed green weeds anyway. But it’s gone, has been for a couple years now and we are establishing the landscape, have a food garden and two trees and various plants the pollinators like to hang out in.

Because they don’t taste good and fermented mushrooms have an off-putting texture? I like the flavor of most edible mushrooms but the psylosibe are not tasty.

Microdosing is something I’d really like to try though, it probably WOULD be a really nice energy drink, something that just opened you and woke you just a little not bash you over the head psychedelic.

The ones I see online are 73 grams in the same container. Where was this purchased? And yes of course they ought to have put it in a squatty travel sized container. But this one is not the standard amount.

They’re not spread out like churches though. Here, it might work, we have an insane # of churches per capita and a lot of homeless, but what about LA? No way there are as many churches as homeless there. Same with houses, as someone suggests upthread. There are few vacant spaces here and many who need homes but in any state beginning with the letter I maybe there are thousands of homes and few homeless because they would freeze to death in the winter.

OMG thank you, you are a fucking angel!

I just want to see Dogma.

Jazzercise, believe it or not. That workout was always my favorite, just complicated enough to turn my thinking off but not so complicated I had to really think about what to do. And the music keeps up with the times, and dancing is a euphoric thing to do. Unfortunately the only place that still has it is too far, driving 20 minutes there makes no sense. Now it’s just yoga and weightlifting, my agility has suffered.

It’s like a Goldilocks thing. Running is too simple and I keep thinking, actual dance class I have to think too much. Jazzercise was perfect.
