I generally put a splash in and think it is great. My recipe also has some fresh OJ.

I just checked to see what it would take me to get to work (a 15 minute drive in light traffic) via my city's bus system. It would require a total of 96 minutes and 2 buses. I would have to walk 15 minutes to the first bus stop and 23 (!) minutes from last stop to destination.

Yes, those are the names I would recommend as well.

Once watched a fellow grad student deliver a conference paper in French and mispronounce "baisser" throughout to hilarous effect.

I did that as a college exchange student in front of 15 people. I asked my prof: "Et l'examen oral aura lieu dans quelle chambre?"

Sounds like you might need this book, which features a sentient sourdough starter and a literal army of baked goods. www.goodreads.com/book/show/54...

I once had a colleague who ate Sun Chips with a fork at lunch, which I found diverting. I love the idea of specialized snack utensils!!!

I am delighted with Dana Evans' first half.

Oh, that takes me back. First novel I ever read in French.

No, then the R and B would be unconnected. It does fix the problem.

Suleikha, I had the same kind of experience, except the one I read first and loved was Untie My Heart. I think I may need to give some of her other books another shot.

Yes to all of these! I have also enjoyed a lot of Parlor Room. My other fave is Um, Actually.

Game Changer in the last couple of seasons has been just stellar. Hilarious, celebratory, and even at times beautifully moving.
