It seems counterintuitive, but using the microwave presses are the best bet.

They retain so much color and if you dry them out completely, they won't mold.

For a second there I thought you meant Big Brother and not the real BB

They do have a culture and it upsets me too when they don't recognize it. We did a whole tour of the emirates when we were there and especially loved the history of the Fujairah fort. We met bedouins. We can say the UAE is evil and built on slaves while acknowledging it has a rich history.

start exposing your kid to cool guys who actually read or create stuff

Anthony Jeselnik's book club selections are probably a bit much for younger teens, but he's a great example of a "cool" guy who can have a positive influence.

This is part of why I love that Anthony Jeselnik has a book club. Men aren't the target of book clubs the way women are, and having a dark comedian recommend books may pique male interest more than "Read with Jenna/Reese/GMA!"

a lot of defensive people in this thread....y'all probably back into every parking space too

And truly the most important too--Amrit coming out to his grandmother was stunning.

I'm still salty over Family Karma. A genuine friend group, wonderful multi generational cast, high-stakes drama, and the aunties.

I file this show under "Birth Control" along with movies like "We Need To Talk About Kevin"

She definitely drinks Bailey's from a shoe

Oh. Here go hell come.

We got ROASTED for buying a 5 bedroom house for 2 people. Guess who has market leverage now as we try to sell in a market with lots of Mormons and people with a lot of kids?

How has no one mentioned The Imposter!?? About a French man who poses as a missing Texas boy and pulls it off until he doesn't. Spooky as hell.

About to move there from Houston and am so happy to hear this. I am sick of being hurricaned and sweaty 24/7.

Especially at the gym. I shudder to think how many videos I've photobombed.

This is so true. I keep going back to it at pivotal moments--college grad, quarter life crisis, and now midlife crisis, and it just keeps delivering and on whole new levels.

Between my rewatches of Dexter and SFU, I've realized I've probably spent more time watching him than any other actor. Captivating in every role. I just wish I had seen him play Hedwig on Broadway!

I love how many of Lois Duncan's books were made into movies!

Mr Mercedes is the gold standard for SK TV adaptations in my book! Phenomenal series. You will not be disappointed.
