Aliza and I recognize the past few weeks have been incredibly heavy. If this piece doesn’t feel right for you right now, we completely understand. My friends and family know: my talents in the kitchen are meager. Close to nonexistent. But one night early in the pandemic, craving novelty and not finding it in the puzzle pieces I was gloomily pushing around, I decided to try my hand at dinner. I knew just what I’d make: vodka sauce.

I’m on a break from weed! Trust me, nobody is more surprised than I am. But it turns out I’m pregnant, and while I know plenty of women use cannabis in various ways while knocked up with no issues at all, I’ve decided not to (no judgment on anyone who chooses differently). FYI, this does not mean I’m going to stop writing about weed – not in the least. But I’d been toying with the idea of a tolerance break for a minute before I knew, to be honest.

Avocados are a subtropical fruit native to the Americas, originating in Mexico and Guatemala. However, they are easy enough to grow in warm-temperate climates like Melbourne’s (provided you can keep the possums off them). I live in Kyneton, which has a cool-temperate climate. Most gardeners would say that trying to grow avocados here is ill-advised. But I’m trying anyway. I’ve successfully kept a few avocados alive in the ground for two years now.

Happy Presidents’ Day! As I do every year, I celebrated the holiday by watching the “Mediocre Presidents” song from “The Simpsons.” Just brilliant. But, I have ANOTHER Presidents’ Day gift for you! The Presidential Greatness Project — conduct by two college political science professors and released over the weekend. The survey, which gathers the opinions of current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, is in its third iteration.

Users love the Roblox Marketplace. It's where creativity and fun come together. The Marketplace offers a wide range of unique items. You can customize your avatars in endless ways, helping you express yourself. It also adds a sense of ownership, rarity, and in-game benefits. In this article, we'll take a closer look at these features and share tips on how to get ahead on Roblox, with help from the metaverse studio, Dubit.

(Mitchell Gerber) By far the most asinine and tone deaf discourse to take over the Internet the past six months is supposedly shaming famous people who come from nepotism. Right away, this dialogue started off on the wrong foot. I’ve seen current it-girl Anya Taylor-Joy incorrectly labeled a ‘nepo baby,’ even though her family doesn’t have anything to do with the fashion or entertainment industries. Her parents are, however, wealthy if you take a quick look at her Wiki page.

Graduation should be a time to celebrate the accomplishments of students, but these ceremonies have already turned into a “warzone” four times—plus one close call with an armed parent/relative—so far this spring. Cape Girardeau, MO: Two people were shot during a Sunday afternoon high school graduation when a dispute between adults at the concession stand escalated into a shooting (May 19). The crowd evacuated the building, the remainder of the ceremony was cancelled, and classes were also cancelled the following day.

Let’s get the smirking and snickering about the title of Guy Ritchie’s new movie, Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, out of the way, so we can set that aside and move on. Okay, we good? Whatever the reasoning was for that odd title decision, it’s still far better than (this is a real movie title), Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, which is very likely to end up on my Terrible 15 list if I write one this year.

Lately, we have been loving DIY-type dinners chez moi. Meals that each person can make their own with a little bit of this, a pinch of that. Things that can be pared down for a picky toddler and gussied up for a different-type-of-picky adult. We’ve made pizzas (always a mess but so much fun). Hardshell tacos, a staple pre-kids, are still a hit. But the real winner is anything that can be wrapped up.
