relbbaddoof Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Yes, my wife said "I bet you loved this one." Except, I read the New Yorker for the articles, so never glance at the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Q. What happened to my New Yorker subscription? A. "Your The New Yorker Magazine subscription suspension due to wildfires has been lifted, and you should receive the April 07, 2025 issue; for any further assistance, please follow up via previous e-mail correspondence." Eh, but mail delivery was never halted in my area.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Reading the remarkable story about the Knot led me to look up the spelling "vendors" vs "venders." Apparently the latter is permissible but almost unique to the New Yorker. What a distracting affectation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my catering days, it was the very early days of The Knot...at that point, most of the people (i.e.: brides to be and their mothers (oy)) had not even heard of it. Didn't realize it turned into such a shit show.

StephanieL Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) OTOH, the couple whose Austrian wedding we're going to have made a very complete wedding site on The Knot, complete with links to the RSVP page, hotel, venue, and travel information, and sightseeing tips.

While you were in the kitchen, I was out on the floor, assisting the camera folk (you don't want me shooting, since someone my height will make the bride look 50 feet tall). I had to go to a lot of bridal expos, and I remember when The Knot crew first started. All the vendors were friendly with one another, even the direct competitors. But not them. They were uniformly rude, snotty and generally unpleasant. The party planners all hated them, and if you know any party planners, you know they're pretty dreadful people themselves, so that said something. I worked with Marcy Blum - mentioned in the article - a bunch of times; she was probably the easiest to deal with. (I finally was able to read it with textise.)

Wilfrid Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 No, Hannah, protein is not "venerated" by people on the keto diet. In fact, it's possible to eat too much protein in quest of fat. As for protein bars, every one I look at is way too high in carbs for anyone on keto. There are very good keto bars out there (high, of course, in fat). https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/04/28/the-quest-to-build-a-perfect-protein-bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
