so i was thinking about this as i was picking up some groceries right now and what actually kind of infuriates me the most is the concept that because you did not buy something that day it somehow cancels the fact that you bought it at some point? like congrats you stored a bunch of food in your house that you bought a while ago, wtg. your friend brought some wine--pretty sure she didn't whip that up herself. same reason buy nothing day makes me want to slay.

I kindly proposed to my three girlfriends that we have a "potluck" dinner at my apartment, where everyone brought a different dish.
I do not understand this use of 'kindly'? (why yes i am also pissed off by people who use 'kind regards' on the end of emails - i really don't feel that 'kind' is an adjective you can appropriately use about your own behaviour)

i haven't been to nyc since i was 11, so can one of yall confirm this for me: did all your grocery stores get destroyed by the cloverfield monster? is that what happened? that's why people pay $26 for pasta primavera right?

Just this morning, put on my apron and whipped up some breakfast by pouring myself a bowl of cereal, and adding a heap of frozen peas on top.

it's important to have something green at every meal: why not frozen peas?

Jordan: grocery stores can be far away from your apartment and you'd have to carry bags home (unless they deliver, which lots in Manhattan do but then you'd have to admit to knowing about such mundanities -- much more The Thing to pretend that all food comes from ), and ingredient prices seem to be determined by affluence of neighborhood more than any actual quality of the FOOD. Broccoli and Parmigiano-Reggiano in Gramercy?? Twenty-six bucks is getting off easy!
Then you have to cook the food; fortunately, Grandmother gave you some shiny pots along with the down-payment on your 2-bedroom high-rise condo, if only you could remember which cupboard you put them in...
And then wash the dishes by hand because only the truly rich of the island are allowed dishwashers -- large home appliances are New York's cochineal.

Unfortunately, I think of Buffalo Bill's desire to make a vest with tits.
― sinister chemical wisdom (Jenny), Thursday, 13 May 2010 17:36 (thirteen years ago) link
By making his own vest with tits, he avoids spending one penny, which as I understand it, is in line with the LearnVest philosophy. I think Buffalo Bill also adds peas to vodka sauce.
