Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Cupcake vodka.

I need this. Really, I do. I don't even really care about the flavor or "mouth feel", I just want to have a bottle of Cupcake Vodka in my liquor cabinet.

Himalayan pink salt! I have a tiny container of it, in a grind that was described as "velvet salt". It is amazing on popcorn.

I have a blazer from Ben Sherman. I had no idea who he was, but he made a women's blazer in b&w stripes with tiny pink stripes as accent, so he obviously designed it for me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That doesn't sound preppie to me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The only Ben Sherman I could think of was Ben McKenzie's Southland character, and I was wondering why anyone would think a police jacket would be Tom's style.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I like the first one best for you, Hec. The second is too neony for my tastes (YMMV) and the third looks like a corporate polo.

I'm going to have to try some pink salt. It's good to know the ratios for Kosher salt/table salt ratios for recipes!

I have table salt, too, but I think I get enough iodine from regular salty foods and seafood consumption.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm tired, and I read this

My area's under a tornado watch

As "tomato watch."

Which is probably no less deadly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For the record, the plastic covers that come with Boston Market meals? Highly not microwave proof. The trays themselves? Less disastrously so.

One of the gourmet supermarkets near me keeps doing this thing where they put out an expensive cheese ($17.99/lb is expensive, a bit, right?) and fig spread, and I always fall for it. But it's so fucking good.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have a tiny container of it, in a grind that was described as "velvet salt".

I really need salt in that grind. It takes too much effort for me to grind it into dust myself. Well, no. Not so much effort to do, effort to remember that I want to do it.

and I always fall for it.

Yep.
