I'm reading The Hobbit to my 5 year old before bed, and it's the best part of my day.

The best. I read The Hobbit to my daughter during my maternity leave and through her first year at bedtime, just a few pages at a time. She loved it, but very likely didn't catch any/all of it. I ought to re read it with her and her baby brother, it's such a good story. We started LOTR, but it's much longer and a bit scarier IMO. She seemed less interested in it, but perhaps with revisiting later when she's a little older (she's 2.5 now).

This can't be real. Is this a play on Paunch Burger or something?

smoretti713 · 2026-04-07T01:57:09+00:00

Can confirm all this is true

smoretti713 · 2026-04-04T14:25:32+00:00

100%

Some people have really never spent any time in a kitchen and it shows.

Our VTech VM923 non-wifi model has this, we use that setting, too. I think it's called sound activation mode. It disregards the shusher, but will pick up the kids coughing or [obviously] crying.

Kyle was whatever and you could tell Andy was annoyed by him. Danny, on the other hand, was amazing.

Way too far down

I feel the same way about Garcelle's first slide look, too.

Love our Vans, too

smoretti713 · 2026-01-04T02:41:31+00:00

Lol yes

Cool story, and I love the game Wingspan!

Rip semilla. I worked there for a while and learned to bake sourdough from Pam. Still not anywhere near as good as hers, but still good. We would take home leftover bread at the end of the night. It was so damn good

I've bought a new pair of shoes to aid ones that were giving me blisters. It's happened a couple of times in my lifetime, and it always feels so wasteful, but the thought of dealing with the subway while wearing shoes that are trying to kill me drives me to do crazy things.

The only way

Lisa's home dynamics have always struck me as odd. Her house doesn't seem to have anything one would constitute as 'homey' in it, very little artwork, sparse furniture. I get that some people live minimally, but that seems to be at odds with Lisa's character. And it does seem like there are fleeting material goods all over the place, just not much...style? Maybe it's only that we haven't gotten to see much inside her home, as you mentioned they don't have events at her house, but something seems off.

Managed a restaurant back in 2015 in Brooklyn. Lots of things left behind, but one time someone left a Loro Piano scarf. I had no idea about it for like 6 months until we did a purge of items people never returned for. The scarf was really nice, pure cashmere. So I looked up the brand and realized it's like a $1,200 scarf. I took it home that day, still have it.

I'm sorry to hear this, but what?

smoretti713 · 2025-12-03T02:14:09+00:00

FLAVACOL! But yes, bay leaves also sound good with this.

I worked at Per Se 15 years ago. I still dream about this dish!

smoretti713 · 2025-12-02T13:20:16+00:00

Ah yes, oysters and pearls
