But I bet she doesn't have that on her business cards. It would look cool on an email signature, though.

Greetings from Queenstown, NZ. It's gorgeous here.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

shrift, I love following your trip with Lee.

NZ is one of my favorite places, and is absurdly beautiful. I spent five weeks there, on the North and South Islands, and I don't think it's possible to capture that beauty unless you're there or in a particularly vivid memory.

Question on cookware, now that I have a new kitchen to make in my own image. I have a non-stick skillet. According to some sources, I should just slit my wrists now, since I'm apparently killing myself by using it. I know part of the problem with Teflon was that people would leave them on hot burners for ages unattended, which I know better than to do. Even though I have a dishwasher now, I don't want to spend eons scrubbing out my skillet. Do I need to save myself and get a new skillet?

Thrive to spite them

I have a teflon pan I use that hasn't killed me yet.

I think the main thing is not to scratch it so the coating comes up and also not to heat it really high... although I the point it becomes a danger is higher than most people cook with.

There are other non stick options other than Teflon now and if you want to get a new pan.

I don't think I have actual Teflon, unless they just changed the name.
