This whole Clarence Thomas thing reminds me of the time I bought a wine reviewer a deli sandwich because I knew he was on a tight schedule, and he insisted on paying me for it.

@georgetakei The judges on the Supreme Court do not believe the rules of ethics apply to them. No wonder their reputation is in the shitter.

Before you can cook, food for Passover can seem rather one dimensional. But once you learn?: Here is a flourless Orange/Cardamom chocolate torte. We have not cut into it yet, but it smells delicious.

We're making lamb chops tonight. I've pulled out a 2011 Kelley Fox Mirabai Pinot. The wine is still fruit driven, though the fruit is more dried. Almost a raspberry fruit leather, violets, leather and a bit of new oak in the background. Still vibrant and only 12.5%.

Mike Pence will never be president. He might as well double down on the one honorable thing that history could actually remember him by: turning on Trump.

Testify, Mike!

Admission into the Chaine des Rotisseurs. My feeling is that if someone across from you has a sword, it's better lain on your shoulder than pointed at you

It's good to have simple, easy to follow rules. The rule here is that if I wish to leave the room for any reason, I have to play with her.

@jcrabapple It's all great. Great music doesn't stop because you turn 22, most people stop paying attention and live in a world of nostalgia.

@jcrabapple Itโ€™s not about decades. Thereโ€™s good music from all times.

OMG I cannot stop laughing. Generation Z freaking ROCKS.

YOU GUYS. I just saw the most wild thing! A man started walking toward the Girl Scouts cookie stand in front of the grocery store and he yelled, "my bitches are BACK" and this Girl Scout just yelled, "no.Walk away." AND HE DID.

Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis give me hope for the second half of my life. Potential employers may write me off because of my age, but I'm not writing myself off. My side hustles have saved the day. I'm more than the number on my driver's license. I'm decades of wisdom, humor, and strength, and I will never look at the second part of my life as the beginning of the end. I look at it as a beginning.

@dancinyogi I don't plan on saying die even then. Of course, that may bother future residents of my house.

So today is supposedly National Cheese Doodle Day as well as National Absinthe Day. Aside from the crazy idea of having a day for everything, can't we at least coordinate them better? Shouldn't today be National Beer Day to go with the Doodles??
