Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But I think that most people expect that, in a cooking magazine, a photo shown next to a recipe will be styled to look better, but will at least be a photo of something made from that recipe.
I'm sure I've mentioned it here, but people know that fashion magazine covers are essentially contracted out and that whichever make-up company has that month's cover just matches their closest colors to the existing photo, right? At least, that's how it worked not that long ago.
Onerous tasks: Balance checkbook, make an appointment to donate blood, and whittle my inbox from 23 down to, let's say, 5. That would make me super happy.
Oh yeah, and work stuff: lots of proofreading.
JZ, I think you can wait until Monday, if you want to.
Donald Trump rising: Tied for 1st in new 2012 poll
Whhhhhaaaat? Seriously,WTF? Okay, maybe the Mayans were on to something.
Yesterday I was being nosy in the elevator and I noticed a cute guy was playing Words With Friends. "I play that *all* the time." I told him. He laughed. "I play with complete strangers." I assured him.
I may be a creepy elevator person.
But I got into the elevator later and he was there again, still playing and he flipped his phone around to show me and he laughed again, so not that bad.
In the cafe this morning there was a woman with a cutesy kiddy backpack and she looked like she was one bad piece of news away from being a mass murderer. Like, really creepy. I hope no one looks at my lunchbox and thinks "She's not right. She's never been right."
I could see being bothered if the stock photos were proof that the recipe hadn't been tested by the magazine (which may in fact be the case), but..I'm really not getting the moral outrage here. A picture of a hot dog "undermines everything we [vegans] stand for"? Really? Everything?
JZ, I think you can wait until Monday, if you want to.
You can. Filing deadline is the 18th, this year.
when they made the recipe it looked nothing like the photo.
"Is there a picture of that in the cookbook? Is it supposed to look like that?"
Yes, I went to a Carlin place. I'm having a low-empathy day and just being amused by the outraged vegans. But I'm often amused by vegans. I apologize to any local vegans for the insensitivity.
Juliana, seriously? Life saver!
Yes, it is the 18th this year b/c the 15th is Emancipation Day in DC.
ETA: Your state tax return may still be due on the 15th, but Federal is the 18th.
