This pizza is covered with only potatoes, onion, olive oil, salt, and pepper but tastes like so much more than the sum of its parts. It goes spectacularly with a big spring salad and a crisp glass of wine. Oh, and it looks and tastes kinda like potato chips.

I have family in the syracuse area and my mom is from central NY
it's unfortunate that so many of the tiny towns we used to go through to visit my gramma have devolved from merely poor to being notable for their overdoses/meth houses but
it's also really pretty!

any day now there'll be a ProPublica article with UHaul employee interviews showing flagrant destruction of company property and lack of payment by the federal government, with masked guys who tell them 'what, you're gonna make us pay?' and then pepper-spraying them in the face and laughing.

In many ways, women and spiders have a great deal in common - independent, do a lot of work that isn't seen or valued, spend the autumn scuttling around in the shadows on our hairy legs looking for a mate before the winter sets in while people point at us and scream, etc.

Since its FOIA Friday, I’d be interested in the rental car receipts for these vehicles they’re plowing through traffic all over the country. Wonder if DHS is springing for the damage waivers or paying out huge bills on insurance claims from the rental companies.
