  1. Okay, THANK YOU about Phyllis Diller. Also, I knew instantly it was Phyllis Diller and only because of Scooby Doo! Thanks, Scooby! I get that the show is called "Feud," so we need to know there IS a feud, however, the timeline jumping is so stupid. I don't even care that he hurt them, because I don't care about anyone, especially Truman. So far, it feels like rich people being assholes to other rich people and while that can be campy fun, when it comes with no stakes, it just feels shallow and cold. I have a lot of beef with The Gilded Age, but what I love about it is how seriously Mrs. Russell's social climbing scheming is taken seriously because that was her job in that era. It's touched on a little with Babe, but not the others. Truman is such a whiny little brat that you wonder why these women put up with him, but that also makes you wonder about their character that they like this person. We need to like these people, or at least hate them ferociously equally. I could not give a shit about any of them. The only person I DID like was Treat Williams as Babe's husband who turned the page from a serial cheater to a man that doted and cared for her while she went through cancer hell.
  2. The reveal of the bathroom and bedroom in Charlie's apartment was INCREDIBLE. And there are 2 more doors!!!!!!!!! WHAT'S BEHIND THEM. Also, if anyone knows the source of Dee's jacket in episode 2, please and thank you. I was dying of envy the entire episode.
  3. Just popping in as someone just now catching the final season once it was available on Netflix and the JAVA JO'Z mention was amazing. Tuco's "headquarters" (with the graffiti) is actually a lovely little coffee shop in the ABQ with wonderful pastries and excellent coffee. Kim tells Cliff that the place they are meeting rivals Java Jo'z in quality.
  4. It makes me wonder if he was kind of weird in the dates the other women may have shared with him in the pods that weren't aired. Like maybe they find him creepy because he asked creepy questions or gave creepy answers and that's why they didn't move forward in dating him. I discount anything Irina or Micah say about him, but even Chelsea said he was creepy. I think it's valid to consider that there may have been interactions that we as the audience were not privy to.
  5. I wonder if that was just for storyline purposes. "Heather, invite Danna so it makes sense she's there when viewers don't know who she is."
  6. So weird. Barilla has plants in Italy and in the US, so it's not just produced in the United States. This is anecdotal, obviously, but when I was in Italy, we rented rooms from an Italian family in Siena and she used Barilla pasta exclusively, so it's not like it's trash pasta in Italy.
  7. Water is a "chemical." Artificial flavors are more heavily studied and tested than their natural counterparts. Plenty of natural flavors are also not sustainable (ex: vanilla). So feel good that this product is safe to consume at any age. Unless you need to watch sodium or something else called out on the nutritional label as an allergen you need to avoid personally.
  8. I prefer edibles because of the smell and mess, but you do you, boo.
  9. Agree with others here that Queso Fresco is your best bet. Sometimes it is challenging to find at your store, depending on where they store it! Here's a few tips: -If your store has a very fancy charcuterie area, it's not going to be there, but the associates there would likely know where it is! -Look in the refrigerated sections next to the shredded and block cheese, sometimes there is also a queso section that grocers will place queso fresco next to. At my store, the QF is like 2 reefer units down from the shredded cheese options.
  10. As someone who has been in a commercial kitchen when you're "in the weeds," I had a better understanding of what PTSD is like. Some of those scenes literally made me SMELL the kitchens I've been in under that same pressure. It's awful. And the only way out is through. It's awful. LOL. Tip your servers, everybody! And if it's a busy night and everyone seems stressed, feel free to buy the kitchen staff a shot.
  11. The tomatillos would make amazing enchiladas, especially right now if you can find Hatch chiles in your supermarket.
  12. I would just like to say: Please. Please go on and on.
  13. I'm finding it interesting, but agree it's way too long. The inclusion of the community theatre is so stupid, in my opinion. They don't add anything.
  14. I enjoyed the book, although I read it between the airing of the first and second episodes, so perhaps my unfamiliarity with the case made it more interesting. I had also never seen the Dateline episodes, so I was completely new to it all. I found it an extremely easy read as well.
  15. Old person checking in. Graduated college in 2000. While I had a personal Hotmail account, I didn't use it at all because my work email was more convenient, AND, if you can believe it, lots of companies restricted internet to email only, so you couldn't even go online at work to access your personal email, that's why you ended up using your work one. I planned several bachelorette parties from a work email, lol.
  16. Oh, I 100% guarantee it's not for pure and wholesome reasons. I was just pointing out that they have exhaustive records. The motive behind those records doesn't take away from their value as a resource. But, yeah. I'm sure it's not for the good of humanity.
  17. The Mormons have an incredible genealogy research department! You can visit it in SLC, I believe. My husband is enjoying this show with me, when it's not normally his jam due to the superhero casting with Garfield and Russell (Russell was Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), and Sam Worthington with his action movie cred, and old man Lafferty I guess was in Peacemaker.
  18. What kind of sociopath hosts a baby shower for the wife of the man she's having an affair with? Apparently one that later murders her with an ax. Also, Allen's fastidiousness with grilling cracked me up.
  19. I have always found Pablo Schreiber to be incredibly sexy, albeit in a non-traditional way (EXCEPTION: Orange is The New Black). He's a tall dude, and a tree that size needs solid trunks, and those volleyball shorts were putting those beefy gams on display. I totally got why Candy would want to get with him. Plus, their volleyball night makes it a solid alibi situation with their spouses. I'm really enjoying this so far. True crime dramas often focus on the gore and awfulness of the crime and the trial. I actually enjoy learning and understanding the lead up to such a hideous crime, especially one committed by a woman. Women don't just murder other women with axes. The pathology behind this crime is so interesting to me. I'm sure we'll get the trial, etc, but I really like how they are setting the stage to understanding everyone's motivations that culminated in such tragedy.
  20. Ummmmmm. She's literally a movie star now. She was in Mamma Mia. She was in Les Miserables. She was in Mean Girls. She has had a starring role in multiple movies (the ones I listed are the blockbuster ones). I would think most people are familiar with her, and not likely due to her role in Big Love (which WAS a great show!)
  21. I agree, but at the same time, I appreciate the comedic re-enactments because they demonstrate how cartoonish Pam was and what her descriptions of these scenes would look like, especially to seasoned law enforcement officers who should have easily been able to see through her bullshit the FIRST TIME. The sad realization that the first group of cops bought her bullshit and were responsible for her not being in jail for Betsy's murder leaving her to murder at least 2 more people is heartbreaking. I could not stop laughing. My husband couldn't stop laughing. We had to pause the show because we were wheezing so hard.
  22. I love them. I am an excellent cook, but always seem to not nail rice. And it's so simple which is why it's so frustrating!!!!
  23. Have i got a recipe for you.
  24. Ha, yes. Sort of like Elizabeth's father with the Enron weight around his neck. How could you ever look NOT like an idiot with that on your resume? I would imagine it would probably depend on what role you had. If you were in marketing, you wouldn't have had anything to do with defrauding investors. But on the biomed side, if you weren't one of the whistleblowers, you look like an absolute asshole.
  25. We have been doing Hello Fresh for about a month now and while I love to cook from scratch and my husband is an eager and earnest lover of my cooking, he is not the best at making requests or suggesting meals. So we tried doing Hello Fresh and the biggest thing I think it has done for us is that he feels more empowered to start dinner if I'm out on an errand or something. A lot of the things I make are in my head, so even if I tell him "chop up some onions, etc" he always feel like he'll do it wrong and disappoint me. This lets him feel more confident that he's doing things correctly and I get to rave about HIS cooking. We haven't had a bad meal yet, and the meals we have had have kind of reinvigorated me in terms of seeking out new recipes or flavors. Perhaps if I spent a little more time planning (less than 20 or 30 minutes) and used his help with prepping ingredients on a Sunday, we could Hello Fresh ourselves and save on the money. I do like the elimination of waste in some ways. I hate buying a 12 oz bottle of an ingredient that I only need 2 tbsp of and then having to find other ways to use it. That alone is a benefit! While it is a LITTLE on the pricy side, it's still cheaper than Door Dash, and the "new to us" recipes feel kind of special like take out, even if we had to cook and clean up.
