 I googled it, Romney is the former CEO of Bain.  I didn’t mean to imply they were not good people, just not the kind of religions you would think the Duggars would support. 

Thanks for clarifying that.

I'm an "arms" gal.  I like to see some muscle definition, which Austin surely does not have.  And the farmer's tan on the upper arm isn't helping.  *Please see Williams arm.  🙂

There's a new photo where she's biking with kiddies and husband and friends in 49F weather, bundled up like it's in the depth of an arctic winter.

Google tells me 49F is 10 effing degrees Celsius. I would die of heat exhaustion in that get up. 10 degrees Celsius is spring weather ffs

Around here, when it hits 10°C, people put their shorts on and get their paddle boards out. 

[BitterApple]

Wow, William is way more cut than I would've expected him to be.

I get the feeling Austin eats a lot of junk. He's active enough to burn most of the calories off, but never sheds that last layer of fat to gain muscle definition.

Hold up, wasn't Austin's wife trained in homemaking skills in one of the preeminent bastions of knowledge for learning those traditional skills in the 21st century?  Surely he must be eating well balanced, supremely nutritious, homecooked meals that would help him stay fit, particularly with his active, manly lifestyle?

Considering tater tot casserole and ice cream cake and the other Duggar food nasties, they're lucky they're not circles.

With a nice green salad and fresh baked bread.

Joy is plugging the hideous magnetic eyelashes again. Stop trying to make those monstrosities happen, Joy.

I am impressed with the sleuthing here. Someone pauses the Instagram story long enough to notice his phone and then zooms in to see an image of something.  And then zooms in more and figures out that looks familiar and then googles around to realize hey that's Kody and Robyn that Austin's looking at. I mean hilarious!. and also evidence that Austin is reading the TLC fodder. Maybe here too. Hey Austin!

[awaken]

My teenager gets domino’s every weekend and we don’t find it IG worthy. 
 

im also surprised at Austin‘s lack of arm definition, with him being a contractor and outdoorsman. Maybe it was an unflattering photo angle. 
 

noticed William’s pic today- agree, definitely looks better than I expected!

I agree with @awaken, with all the manual labor Austin does, plus having young kids who are picked up and carried, its probably an unflattering angle.

If that is Will's armed relaxed for an injection, then damn, that Prince must seriously work out.

New video:

 

 

[Nysha]

OMG, I just about had a panic attack every time Gideon put a handful of chocolate chips into the mixer with those blades moving just above his hand. 

Other than that, I enjoyed the video. 

[BetyBee]

Today (from Joy's video) I learned that Michelle actually has a pasta alfredo recipe! Which means she cooks! Anyway, it was a cute video even though I too was nervous about Gideon's hands near the blades. The interactions in this family seem very nice.

I really, REALLY doubt Michelle cooks...

[Zella]

I mean, does she make the sauce from scratch or does she just buy a jar of alfredo sauce and call it good? I'm not knocking buying a jar of pasta sauce, but I'm just having a hard time seeing Michelle doing too much.

[kaleidoscope]

I'm just thrilled to see a BOY being encouraged to cook!

A true homemade alfredo sauce is more work than a Duggar especially Michelle would do.  Michelle ain't grating enough parmesan cheese for 20 people. 

I know there are shortcuts like using pre-grated parm and thickeners like cream cheese, but you can't make alfredo with just any store-bought parm.  I shudder to think about using Kraft powdered parm or the Great Value equivalent.   Sauces with 5 ingredients need them to be quality ingredients.

Oh, I assume Michelle makes it with cream of something soup thinned with a bit of milk. *shudder* 🤮

Yeah I'm pretty proud of my homemade alfredo sauce! I can't see them making it or even buying all the ingredients you would need to feed a family of that size.

Her nose seems in fairly normal proportion to her little face.  She may yet escape the nostril curse.  And it's nice to see a girl head without a bow.  Good job, Joy.  

[xwordfanatik]

Giddy got cuter with age, and hopefully little sis will, too.  I love those little toothless smiles.

[crazy8s]

It seems Austin settled pre trial for the non permit septic system. trial was supposed to be today. Case was settled May 21 it seems, if you believe the Sun. No details of the settlement are given. repeat of old news and then it of course moves on to Josh.

They don't if you regularly feed people tater tot casserole and vegetables straight out of the can. 😁

Hats off at the table, Austin!  And for real, just move the stupid knife out of your toddler's reach, it's not rocket science.

Guys wear baseball caps inside restaurants all the time. So do women and girls. I may not like it (and I'm not an admirer of Austin) but i don't think it's a big deal. They should be more careful with that knife, but it's not like they are leaving the kid alone with it.

They are also at a Texas Roadhouse, a restaurant where people throw peanut shells onto the floor.  Wearing a hat indoors is not taking away any ambience.

I have been in a Texas Roadhouse.  The only thing wrong about Austin wearing a hat throughout dinner there is that it is not a Stormy Kromer style with the heavy earflaps he can pull down to muffle the overwhelming din of that place.  

Food there is meh, but the noise manages to be an even bigger negative for me.   Anniversary dinner with young kids, not very romantic but understandable.   Sad that they were someplace they could only hear each other if they raised their voices significantly.

[Heathen]

Doesn't Texas Roadhouse also have an adult human-sized rocking horse? If Austin stepped inside and took off his hat, people would think he was weird. 

 

[GeeGolly]

I'm a hats off inside a restaurant kind of gal. Not sure how or why this is an etiquette thing, but its the way I was raised and the way I raised my children. I probably could be swayed to see it differently, but around here its rare to see a guy dining inside with a hat on.

The food is okay. I haven't been there in years though. When we first moved out to our new house, we ate there often. We also went to Outback until I got the mahi special and it was so salty (and I love salt), I could barely eat it. The last 10 years or so we ventured out to local places and the food is so much better. You get an occasional clunker but you eat and learn. 

That is an awful picture of Austin. Yikes! And move that damned knife! 

[Westiepeach]

He looks like he is about to vomit.

[BOOgen3]

Not to beat a dead rocking horse but they actually appear to be eating at a Longhorn Steakhouse. Longhorn serves a small whole wheat loaf on a cutting board with the large steak knife for cutting the bread. Texas Roadhouse serves the most delightful fluffy yeast rolls in a basket with a small disposable plastic container of cinnamon butter. Austin appears to be tucking into a piece of whole wheat.

Good point! I forgot about those rolls. Damn.... they are so good.

You are right.  I know Joy has posted before about Texas Roadhouse being one of their favorites.  It looks like they splurged for their anniversary dinner and went to Longhorn instead.  I've only been to a Longhorn a handful of times, and it is a step above the Roadhouse, so Austin needs to remove the hat.  

Those yeast rolls at TR are the shit.  Texas Roadhouse is a supporter of early childhood literacy and they support our summer reading program.  It's about time for them to deliver the free kids meal coupons with a dozen or so of their rolls.  

[MargeGunderson]

Damn it, now I want rolls!

I used to make homemade Alfredo quite often, and I think it’s a sin to put, what I consider to be, powdered cheese in it.  I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when Joy did it; however, I guess we should applaud most everything the Duggar girls cook considering they had no role model to teach them how to prepare a really nice meal.

Child safety doesn't appear to be a priority as seen in previous social media posts from these two.
