Same, on a vertical spike.

My mom made this spinach and cheese casserole that I loved so much I’d ask for it instead of birthday cake.

My dad’s mom, her green beans side. They were blanched and then lightly pickled, then heated up in the brine and drained before serving. No additional seasonjng needed. Also her pigs-inna-blanket. I know a lot of people think of sausages for this dish, but she did it the Dutch way, with spiced pork minced completely enclosed in a puff pastry.

My mom’s mom didn’t cook much and when she did it was standard English cuisine. But she loved icecream and made a mean banana split.

I’ve been on MetroPCS for most of a decade and have no complaints. Two lines, unlimited everything, $50/month.

If you’re going to ask a question to everyone and also answer it, the best practice is to put your own answer as a comment, rather than in the textbox.

To answer the question:

True, there’s been trouble and trickery, sir
Trembling and tribulations
Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
You, sir, and your usurpations
But my patience wears very thin
When you play the violin

from “When You Play the Violin” by the Gothic Archies. It’s not emotionally resonant, I just love the wordplay.

For me, it always faded with time. Usually about a year and a half after my last relationship ended.

If margins are so thin, how do they afford all those restaurant critics?

The premillennial shakes at McDonald’s, before they made them thick.

We Americans tend to like authority but distrust authority figures we don’t already agree with.

looking back, it has always been some variant of “to understand and be understood by another”

Kids. I’ve known that’s what I wanted since I was eight years old.

Because they have enough evidence to satisfy them that they should, if they’re rational; because they were taught to and never questioned it through self-examination, if they’re not.

Note that evidence is not the same as proof; other users have pointed out examples of evidence such as ‘testimony from trusted authorities such as parents’ and ‘personal spiritual experiences’ and since those answers were very detailed I won’t repeat them here.

still catching up on Bridgerton, me

Brown sauce is not nearly as popular as hotsauce where I am. I always have a bottle of A1 and a bottle of catsup, but I typically have a half dozen each of mustards and hotsauces.

Editing to add I always have a jar of homemade chimichurri ready to go as well.

ie. “the way they’re historically defined” vs. “making shit up”

Sure, if we’re close.

typo but I’mma leave it

I think you already know that all the food ones are taken.

She’s a skinny blonde with an angular face. That’s not for everybody, and it’s not for me.

Because why wife is hotter than both and a better cook.

I used to work out in the Black Hills during the Sturgis motorcycle rally, and I would see a fatal accident almost every day.

One time I was the first responder; the guy was intoxicated or otherwise impaired, just drifted right into the guardrail and flipped over the handlebars. The hike kept going down the road for a quarter mile. The other staffer and I stopped our van and put the hazards on, gave first aid until an EMS tech showed up; this was before cell service was reliable in the mountains. The guy had a huge gash across his chest and had landed on the end of a cliff, a strip maybe a yard wide between the guardrail and a fatal plunge. He was still alive when we left the scene.

That was one of the milder accidents.
