Apparently TikTok has decided that I need to see hundreds of videos on how to use cottage cheese in every single recipe ever made. Cottage cheese omelets, cottage cheese brownies, cottage cheese chocolate pudding, cottage cheese bread replacement wraps. I hate cottage cheese. No way I'm making any of that shit.

This. It was always so great. Wed either get the Sunday Times early early edition late Saturday, check to make sure all the important sections were there and spend Sunday perusing Arts and Leisure, Style and the magazine. All other sections were superfluous. One of us would get dressed to walk over to Tal Bagels...smoked salmon for him, whitefish for me. On a bagel crusted with an unhealthy amount of sea salt.

QOTD. I came across a photo of a couple relaxing on a Sunday in their pajamas reding the New York Times. And I couldn't remember the last time I held a physical newspaper in my hands. Maybe 10 years? Relaxing with the Sunday Times used to be a ritual.

So...when was the last time you actually read a physical, printed on newsprint newspaper?

Way back when I was shopping for homes in Los Angeles, I viewed one of her houses up in Benedict Canyon. Apparently she had several properties in L.A. The only thing I remember about it was that there was a mosaic of her at the bottom of the backyard pool. That was a good 25 years ago, but I still remember the mosaic. It was busty.

If he wants to give the dog up, the dog is not beloved to him. The dog is a burden to him. And his 2 to 3 kids (can't he remember if it's 2 or 3?). Cosmo is living an ignored life and he deserves better than that. He deserves the love and care of the Maxi Clan.

You've been toying with the idea of a dog for some time. Maybe the universe is sending you a signal that Cosmo needs you, and you need Cosmo. You're all settled in to the new place and a dog is the perfect addition.

I recommend rescuing Cosmo from an unloving home with adults who are too busy and 2 to 3 kids who don't seem to care.

Cosmo needs you. Be the hero.

I've been buying the same coffee for years and decided to try something different. I feel like I'm in the wine aisle, about to pick something because the label looks so nice. There's so much. This is about half the selection. I'm overwhelmed.

Another article about how they make it so green here. Lots of parks. And plantings everywhere. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2...

I once had to take filthy, freshly shorn sheep's wool and wash it, dry it, card it, spin it into yarn, dye it and weave it. So I'm set for the apocalypse. I can also macrame an owl if necessary.

The supermarkets here rearrange all the shelves every 6 months or so. The coffee is where the sugar used to be, the sugar is now where the Clorox used to be, the Clorox is now in the candy aisle. The candy is where the canned foods were. It's maddening and I absolutely hate it.

You know. They usually last a couple of seconds and it's over. And I'm lying in bed thinking "this isn't stopping and it's getting worse." And it kept on shaking. Should we go? Should we stay? And the building is swaying back and forth. Crazy. It was an extremely long minute.
