Netflix has an original show called the Big Family Cooking Show, with families competing against each other. One of the presenters is Nadiya who won one of the GBBOs.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
High temps were in the 70s today. They're supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow, then back up to the 70s on Sunday. Weird.

Nadiya is talking about how one of the cooks knows when a cake is done. The cook says "I don't have a timer, I have a smell." "You know when it's done," Nadiya said, "what do I know?" And the entire group of cooks burst into laughter.
Instead of the full headscarf around the head and neck she wore on GBBO, she's wearing a scarf that holds her hair up and covered. She looks very elegant.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac - Can I go hang at the mall with some friends?
me - what friends?
mac - a kid from tennis and M
me - who is this other kid from tennis? and M's parents are letting him go?
mac - Other kid is R and yeah R was going to pick me up and then we'll go get M.
me - um no, 2 of you can't be in the car with a driver your age and I do not believe you that M's parents are ok with that. I'll tell you what, we can go pick up M and me this friend R that I don't know at the mall.
mac - huffs off.
uh huh, nice try slick. I'm not sure what was really going on, but it wasn't what he was telling me. I was so much better at lying than he is.

t, have you had a FROZEN Charleston chew though? That's how I like them. Smack it on the counter after freezing and it breaks into a bunch of pieces and then eat.

(Also hi from Japan! We walked a lot and saw a bunch of shrines and now it's raining and I'm going to nap and my friend is going to the onsen)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have not! OK, back on the list. Maybe under petting otters and seeing shrines in Japan...

Our wings are not tired.
An awesome time to be living vicariously through meara.
Good try, mac! I was ever so grateful that my boys weren't as good at parental subterfuge as I was. I feared Karma.

Because books.
Sadly, I think Sara is almost as good as I was, but she's also not quite as brave. Brave? Reckless? I don't know.
She and her friends do seem to do things differently than we did. By ninth grade, I don't remember a lot of sleepovers, and these girls rotate between houses constantly. There are also a lot of sort of official "parties" where a kid's parent is home and supervising, but it's just casual mixed evenings with snacks and music, I guess. Which is good! I guess.
