I dunno. These kids are pretty sophisticated. And pig Latin was out of date/useless in MY time!

I think its a later generation's resurrection of Germain "thanks".

I was recently amused by an 11 year old grand-sprog snidely explaining to me that his peers had developed a language unintelligible to older generation. So they can talk behind our backs while in earshot. While I understand the vital importance of staying in touch with youth's thinking, I had to bite my tongue to refrain from telling him that most of their chatter was of little/no interest to me. Hard to walk the tight-rope.

Here is a flourless, no added fat recipe for a fabulous chocolate cookie I've made for decades. (I use Hershey's natural cocoa.) Essentially an unfilled macaron. Suitable for many dietary proscriptions. Idiot-proof.

Note also their (Spanish Table) branch on inner Clement Street, San Francisco. My go-to for sherry vinegar.

Phrased otherwise, I will gladly patronize a restaurant with mediocre interior design, but not mediocre food.

You can send the bones in my direction (please).

Every classic started out as a bartender experimenting.
Unarguably. But many/most true classics were surprisingly invented in the 1800s.
Even the Negroni was born in the early 1900s. That's a pretty long provenance. -

…thank the lord!
As someone who pretty much only orders classics, I welcome the day. I am in no need of some bartender's fantasy of what might taste good.
There was a time when a cocktail was an adult drink, not an alcoholic soda pop.

Is it considered political if I grouse about having been on the phone for 1 hour 40 minutes with the IRS regarding a letter from them stating that I had an unclaimed credit that needed to be addressed immediately? Only to find that they had neglected to apply the amount to timely made estimates? Told to refile!!???? WAIT A MINUTE! I filed correctly! It is you who have not correctly applied the payments to the proper allocations. Finally, "Oh, yes. You are correct. Just ignore that letter." SLOW BURN.

Nice save, I guess. While I try not to waste food, husband was a bear about sending good money after bad, often encouraging me to "cut my losses" when it came to salvaging food we didn't like.

I nominate you to open and relabel all of these.

I have found a simple way to blanch asparagus is to use a skillet with 1/2 - 3/4 " water. Fast to boil, tender-crisp in very few minutes.

… first-date couple who order a salad and an entree both to share and two glasses of wine.
That first date would be a last date with anyone that cheap.

Larder plate: asparagus and poached eggs on dill rye fried bread with Meyer lemon beurre blanc. Bad plating but delicious

Nor do we. Ours was just a search for ANY kind of residential coverage. Insurers are abandoning California like rats on a sinking ship. We wound up the the state's Fair Plan, high rates for minimum coverage.

We were cancelled on both city and country properties and are indeed in the hands of "the last resort".
When push comes to shove, and all the cards are on the table, the last resort looks like gold! Good luck!

I want to thank each of you for your very kind words. As an outsider to MFF, 3000 miles away from the center of action, at least a generation older than the average member, I am humbled by the empathy and compassion you've taken time to express. I will always be grateful for these gifts, most often from people I've never met.

My husband of many decades passed away last week after facing stage 4 cancer for 18 months. He was asymptomatic and pain-free throughout, finally losing vigor in the last several weeks. He was ready to give up the fight.
I have been astounded by the outpouring of consolation by our neighbors. He had quietly made lasting connections with dozens of disparate people.
I am humbled by the mark he made. It doesn't make our loss any easier, but I want to think that he is somehow aware of the depth of loss shared by our coterie of friends and neighbors.

There were some mudslides. Now the atmospheric river is gone. The Santa Ana winds are a distant memory. The captain has taken off the fasten seatbelts sign.
NEVER unbuckle your seatbelts while on a plane, regardless of what the captain says. There's always some kind of turbulence just off the horizon.

Today, we've had 4 measurable earthquakes hit us, all centered just a few miles from our house.
I felt 2 of them.
