Foul-mouthed yellow-dog Democrat, knitter from Illinois. She/her. Probably not that interesting. A student of mine once wrote on an evaluation, "She thinks she's funny, but she's not."

Please don't DM me.
I'm worried that someone using this will sit on their cat. 🙀

He's completely non bothered. I'd've been at least a *little* nervous!

The first time I saw "It", I was so amazed. Clara Bow really did have It! Funny & sexy & charismatic, she projected it right through the screen. Her costar was lightweight by comparison: she completely overshadowed him.

You can try substituting for the buttermilk if you can't face the store. From Substituting Ingredients: The A to Z Kitchen Reference by Becky Sue Epstein, plus my notes:

(The ratio of vanilla bean to alcohol is about 1 oz/1 cup.)

After a month or 2, you'll have vanilla extract. Yay!

The Interwebs contain several vendors where you can get vanilla beans cheaper than your local store. Check eBay. Don't bother getting the highest grade beans. Extract grade is fine.

Homemade vanilla is dead easy, btw. Get a 750 ml bottle of 80 proof alcohol (vodka if you're boring, otherwise try rum, brandy, or bourbon), & about 3 1/4 ounces vanilla beans. Slit the beans lengthwise, drop them in the bottle, & stash it somewhere dark. Shake the bottle at least once a week.

Wow. Please make arrangements to pick up the Internet you just one. 🌟

But how does its length compare to Infrastructure Week?

Milk. Good mashed potatoes need full fat milk, none of this skim nonsense. (Or cream if you want, I won't judge.)

If I had a time machine I'd inject Scott Joplin with penicillin so that he wouldn't die of tertiary syphilis at the age of 48, & also tell him to stash extra copies of A Guest of Honor somewhere & if he couldn't pay rent to secure his belongings so they wouldn't be tossed.

I love good mashed potatoes, but I can live without rolls.

I just looked it up: here are some Revolutionary War national parks:

(I thought everyone visited battlefields on vacation until I went to grad school & asked a fellow student from Massachusetts about Revolutionary War battlefields. He looked at me as if I were from Mars.)
