Nope, you can make some amazing dips with sour cream along with lots of other sauces. We go through a big one every few weeks.

Why bother talking to someone with actual experience and expertise when you can just talk to someone who pretends they do but is readily available for a quick quote or sound bite?

We live in a country where we will inflict needless pain on people who need any type of accommodation just because someone somewhere could imagine that someone could “take advantage“ of anything that could possibly help. It is so sad and infuriating.

As a fan of the books, I didn’t love the show. I did watch it, hoping my little part could help keep it going. However, I loved that there were people who did love the show and it brought them into the WoT universe.
