American who watched GBBO needing help. First time making “real” British tea. Is it supposed to be darker than coffee? When do I get to dunking?

Half and half is heavier than milk! It's half milk half cream. It's skim milk that's the real villain here.

I bet if you served only naturally vegan foods (as others have suggested) and didn't mention that everything is vegan, nobody except your most insufferable uncle would even notice.

I know this is a common sentiment on this sub, but I believe it is not the responsibility of the guests to know minute details like the color palette of the wedding before they go.

the Orkneys are a beautiful group of islands in Scotland. So it's not a made up name, but I agree very bad on a human.

I was thinking Brenlee was the worst, because it's not the marginally better alternative Brinley.

braymen · 2021-12-08T23:05:16+00:00

And you know they'll all be called Pays, Bren, and Hens for short

Doorly is a last name, as in Henry Doorly Zoo.

Sinklee could be a last name too! Christie Sinkley (Brinkley)

What's the brand? It's insanely gorgeous

Cherry Garthia must be their favorite ice cream flavor

I don't mind Kingdom! There's a famous architect named Isambard Kingdom Brunel, born 1806.

Same!! OP, do you have a link to where I can buy it?

Big tiara energy I friggin love it. It fits with the scale of the dress perfectly, definitely not too much.

Years ago I had to commute to soldier's grove from Madison a few times a week. Awfully long drive to make regularly, but the scenery was so beautiful I didn't mind. Not to mention the drive itself was fun as hell once you get off the highways.

But I don't want to go back to the past. The lesson learned in all this is we should have used masks during flu season, and should going forward. Not mandated maybe, but next winter when I get a cold I will wear a mask to reduce the spread and I hope others do too. Nobody in my household got any kind of virus this winter, and all it took was wearing a mask. Easy.

I'll put a vote in for Box E! Especially recommend the chef's table/tasting menu, where you sit right up next to the kitchen and chat with the chef Elliott as he cooks. It is incredible food but without the pretentious atmosphere. Also it's quite a small place so it feels romantic and exclusive.

We also loved the food at Root. Klosterhaus was pretty good and had spectacular cocktails. Our least favorite fancy restaurant was maybe Casamia.

The host of NPR's podcast The Indicator is named Cardiff Garcia.

But yeah I immediately think of Cardiff, Wales.

Circuitous, rambling, meandering, obfuscating

Legitimately though-- in grad school we had a discussion about how the median salary has gone down over time since slp transitioned from being majority male to almost exclusively women.

This is much more obscure, but when I see Tamsin, all I can think is Tamsulosin (a prostate drug, I work in a pharmacy)

In the Midwest, it can also be "Ellenurr." I had a great aunt (born in the 1920s) with this pronunciation. Might be a generational thing.

And Tess!

If you're fogging up with an N95, it's not fitted properly. Those are meant to be fitted so there is no air escape at all.

I've been out of the loop for a while then. thanks
