  1. We had Bavarian potato salad and roasted carrots.
  2. I'm doing well. So is Morgan, and Mickey called earlier. Says he's feeling much better.
  3. Hey, Curtipie! Hey, Gary. Evening, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches for the wee pup* Hey, Val. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash!
  4. I remember this kid from Season One of Rachael vs. Guy: Kids Cook-Off. He was, and is, a sweetheart.
  5. @clochette Happy Birthday, Clo!
  6. @Comicality These girls had the right idea. I wish it were me.
  7. Oh, me too, me too! No, nothing ever happened. Jesse is asexual. Once, when we were kids, we got caught in the rain and ended up cuddling under a blanket next to the fireplace, but we were wearing PJs. That's as far as it ever went.
  8. I take it you're referring to the pro chef who used Valrhona chocolate and smoked butter in her cookies? Yeah, that's not something I could do on a regular basis. I'm sure they'll love it.
  9. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! Glad you're feeling better.
  10. Hey, Marty. And a hairstylist. Seriously, why do grown men think it's cool to look like they just crawled out of bed?
  11. I love these videos.
  12. We're having bacon, broccoli, and cheese frittata for dinner. The crust is made from shredded hashbrown potatoes and pre-baked until it gets crispy.
  13. The "Listopia" tab on Goodreads' search engine lets people look for books that aren't published yet, sometimes even several years into the future.
  14. All of Me, by Chris Baron. Scheduled for publication on June 11th, 2019. Ari has body-image issues. After a move across the country, his parents work selling and promoting his mother's paintings and sculptures. Ari's bohemian mother needs space to create, and his father is gone for long stretches of time on "sales" trips. Meanwhile, Ari makes new friends: Pick, the gamer; the artsy Jorge, and the troubled Lisa. He is also relentlessly bullied because he's overweight, but he can't tell his parents—they're simply not around enough to listen. After an upsetting incident, Ari's mom suggests he go on a diet, and she gives him a book to help. But the book—and the diet—can’t fix everything. As Ari faces the demise of his parents' marriage, he also feels himself changing, both emotionally and physically. Here is a much-needed story about accepting the imperfect in oneself and in life.

    Chapter 48

    I know how Billy feels. I'm such a tramp for a cheeseburger. I'm interested to see what happens when Billy sees Greg at work. If Ollie finds out that Billy knew, though, and didn't say anything...well. Guess we just have to wait till the next chapter.
  16. It's possible. It was almost 13 years ago, so who knows why it happened?
  17. Huh. I didn't know that about horses. Maybe he didn't like the smell of my deodorant, or something.
  18. One of my best friends was this kid named Jesse, who lived maybe a mile down the road. His adoptive parents owned horses, and he was really sweet and gentle with them. I only ever saw him get angry once, when a boarder used a whip inappropriately. That person never returned, but my neighbors ended up keeping the horse because the owner said "they're too much work, anyways." Once, I was trying to climb onto a horse. Guess I accidentally pulled his mane (sorry, horsie!), because he shook me off. Jesse caught me when I fell, and he had some pretty strong arms for a twelve-year-old.
  19. Physically, she was fine. Not sure about the clothes. After the mayhem was settled, the EM caused the first horse to bolt again, on purpose, because the OP was doing a better job of riding than the ED. She fell off too, but then her arm collided with a fence. The radius and ulna had hairline fractures, but the humerus basically got split down the middle. Sadly, the instructor was distracted and didn't see the Entitled Mother's actions. The EM then proceeded to taunt the OP about her apparent lack of skill, and how ED is such a better rider than her. When the OP eventually returned to riding, the entitled duo was still there. Disgusting.
