Here's our strategy for this problem (three people with too many must-haves). We make one green bean dish at Thanksgiving and then a couple of days later we make green bean casserole to go with leftovers. Similar for competing squash dishes. It's a Thanksgiving weekend, not one meal.

Wow, I had no idea. Bummed to learn this.

word 47 why was this so hard?? 😂

What are people not liking about it? As a viewer well below the level of "casual fan" (i.e. this was the first football game I have seen this decade) I found it, as you say, easy to decipher and see from across the room.

Yes! Spotify has helped us find so many artists that we never would have known about otherwise. But then we go and purchase their music (except we're old school and buy cds).

Wow, who knew? Seems very handy, especially for a student.

You put the meat and vegetables right in the rice cooker with the rice? I've never heard of that before. Sounds like it could be a real game-changer for quick meals!

Meanwhile, I sit silently because I'm virtually incapable of interrupting -- I just cannot do it. I'm pretty sure mom thinks she needs to fill the silence because I'm not talking, but I can't talk until there is silence, so . . . it's a problem

OMG yes. A string of, "Did you get that problem at work resolved, or is it still an issue, or is it the kind of thing that comes and goes, or do you not know yet, are you going to have to wait and see over a few months what the situation is, were you able to try . . . ."

I was just reading today about a town in Sweden that switched its snow clearing protocol to prioritize side streets and sidewalks before main roads (the reverse of their previous method). The result -- fewer injuries and lower costs.

Makes sense to me. Cooking happens out in the kitchen, but kids might not see the invisible work of planning meals. It's kind of startling becoming an adult and discovering how much background work it takes to run your life and home. There's way more "figuring out what to do" than I realized.

wow thanks so much for posting these!

That was the last word for everyone in our house and we needed hints to get it. I suppose it's a word, but barely.

My mom drove an 80s beige Rabbit! We all loved it. Beige cars are so ready for a comeback.
