Eric Adams is a weird enough guy that this headline could refer to the country or the bird

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

Also watch out with older CrockPot recipes: Newer slow cookers (like post-2015ish) run a lot hotter for food safety reasons. So “low” is a lot warmer now than it was in the 80s when your mom devised that recipe.
Cookbooks are cool! But be careful about older ones, especially with recipes calling for a box/package/can/container of something (rather than ounces or grams) because many companies have changed their formulas and package sizes in the last few years.

Unironically, it would have to be chili-themed. Whichever team loses has to concede that the other's chili is canonical.

at the Kentucky Derby, which is only exotic because I wasn’t drinking
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others.

Love all, help all.
