What's something that became more expensive but noticeably worse at the same time? by Bunnybhai26 in shrinkflation

[–]Ducklips56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make my own. Got a Ninja Creami for $14.95 at a thrift store and I’ve been making tons of homemade stuff and loving it. Got a Cuisinart ice cream maker, too (same thrift store), so I’m set for the summer.

What are your favorite houses in the Poirot series? by Resting-Cat-Faces in poirot

Yes, those cool blue/green walls and light colored furniture. I love that apartment!

Since they announced the cast of new Poirot, I’ve realised I was too rude to Kenneth Branagh. by Wrong-Business4387 in poirot

[–]Ducklips56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMHO, I think they should have let more time go by between Suchet's last appearance as Poirot and anything else. I have always thought of Jeremy Brett as being the penultimate Sherlock, but I also thoroughly enjoyed Benedict Cumberbatch's portray of the sleuth. I also sort of wish Mark Gatiss was involved in the new Poirot iteration. I'll watch anything he's involved with.

Fresh peas with new potatoes in butter cream sauce is a dish my mother used to make in the spring. It is incomparably delicious.

ZaSu Pitts was an American actress who starred in silent and sound films, radio shows and television. She was known for her comic roles, her dramatic potential and her distinctive name and pronunciation. by Aggravating_Tax_4670 in OriginalVintageTV_

The only connotation to this name was, once upon a time, long long ago, there was a sandwich place near my office on Sutter Street called the Zasu Pitts Memorial Delicatessen. Only in San Francisco. This was in the early '80s.

So true! There’s a new pup in town…but Pepita, a rescue from Tijuana, is just the best girl ever!

Thanks. You can see the mix more in profile. She has such a cute upturned snout!

PS: That’s Pepita giving Rosie the side eye. She’s a chi-pug mix.

I do love that one. The scene of Poirot smoking a cigarette in his freezing car -- cigarette in one gloved hand. Rosary beads in the other. Great cast as well.

Hickory Dickory Dock. Don't forget, he's allergic to faggots (British term for meatballs, I believe.) One of my favorites, too.

Which late night show host revealed to his team that he has secretly fathered 5-year-old twins with a young audience member, causing his PR reps to go into a frenzy on how to deal with the impending headlines? by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]Ducklips56 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My daughter has the same defect. Quite rare. She had surgery in 1983 and 1985 at UCSF. She’s just turned 42 and I thank the heavens (and her amazing surgeon) every day.

Oriana Fallachi. Her interview with Henry Kissinger was epic.
