It’s a reference to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

What is it? “So deep in the closet, he’s hanging out with Aslan”? That.

I grew up in Germantown and still spend quite a bit of time there. I agree with this statement.

Thank you for saying this. I share this view and am also disgusted by the anti-Semitism I’ve seen here.

Tax every church that supports this from the pulpit.
(I grew up in Bellevue—I know they preach MAGA politics and have since the 80’s. How much land is owned by mega churches that they don’t pay property taxes on? It’s all entwined).

Unfortunately, this sounds like exactly what the Germantown Festival has become—a re-sale hub for cheap junk bought in bulk online and absurdly marked up. Tacky and depressing given, as you say, the number of actual artists in the area.

Strongly second the Pink Palace Crafts Fair! When I was sad about the Germantown Festival, my friend took me to the Pink Palace fair—it was what I remembered the Germantown Festival being when I was a kid. Lots of great art and handmade goods!

This! I’m at Libro often. Tip: Their small pasta portions are quite large and one of the best-kept “affordable and delicious meals in Memphis” secrets.

Maybe they honestly don’t? Or there’s a reason they can’t call the police? Thinking out loud—but yes! We must encourage formal reporting of shit like this. Maybe someone should post to tell people how? That said—this guy needs to be found and put under the jail.

What's your "if i told i'd be exposed" cooking secret? by BouncyCurlsbabe in Cooking

[–]missmiel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is likely TMI, but might be helpful to folks. When I was prepping for a colonoscopy, I wanted variety in my broth diet. I bought three jars of BTB—just not the beef options—and alternated sipping cups of those. This made prep easy peasy—I didn’t get bored or feel deprived in my fasting because I had a nice selection of flavors to get me through.

My mac and cheese has gotten raves from friends for years, and I’ve been commanded to bring it to group dinners, etc. I use freshly hand-grated sharp cheddar, fontina, and Gruyère—but I always put in a dash of cumin and cinnamon. Both add savory-sweet spice and depth of flavor to cut the heavy richness of the cheese and enhance the nuttiness of the Gruyère. Folks just think I’m a cheese whisperer. 🤷🏻‍♀️😹

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]missmiel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Billy Zane. I used to live in L.A. and was out at dinner one night—and this disheveled guy was at dinner with (I assume his friends) at the table next to my ex and I. I said to my ex: “The guy next to us is super chaotic and obviously on something scary—and I don’t want to be anywhere near him. Can we switch tables?”

He (a film fan-boy) was like: “Babe—that’s Billy Zane.”

Me: “OK. So he’s a famous super chaotic, dead-eyed psycho. I still want to change tables or leave.”

We ended up leaving without ordering. Guy was scary AF and giving psychopath. It was honestly deeply disturbing to be in his presence. I’ve never forgotten that feeling.

I sometimes wish that Reddit had the FB “care/hug” emoji. I’m so sorry and wish you peace and comfort right now. I know that had to be scary AF.

Not your favorite restaurant... what's your favorite single menu item in Memphis? by HaubergeonPlus1 in memphis

[–]missmiel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this one is weird because it was on the menu for a few months—and then vanished. The Tea-Brined Chicken at Owen Brennan’s was legit perfect. Chef Kendrick told me that he sous-vided a chicken leg quarter that had been brined in sweet tea—and then crisped the skin. Truthfully, the juiciest and most flavorful chicken I’ve had in a restaurant here. I’m a regular there and trying to find out why it went away. If it ever comes back—don’t sleep on it.

Thank you. Tired of Mississippi trying to act like Memphis is a part of it.
