No-knead bread is a very efficient way (in terms of your actual labor) to make this happen. 5 minutes of effort, 12 hours of the dough rising in a covered bowl, 5 more minutes of effort, and 50 minutes of baking. Voila!

I used to know someone whose grandma, in an act of spite I could only admire, refused to acknowledge DST every year because it had been implemented by FDR, who had signed the order that put her and her family into an internment camp. She didn't work outside the home, which helped.

Quite likely, yes.

I have seen many carpeted bathrooms in houses where the seller was of an age to prioritize not breaking a hip as well.

Whose father and wife died over the weekend; if that isn't an origin story, I don't know what is.

"I am not sure what evidence the hon. Member is referring to or to what it testifies. Speaking with what limited knowledge is available to me as a professional man in this field, I may say that this is one long string of claptrap."

A little over 60 years ago, the UK's parliament was debating the then Sexual Offences Bill, which was to decriminalise male homosexuality.

This, from David Kerr MP (Labour), who was a doctor, could be used today against way too many people yapping about LGBTQIA people, especially trans people:

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

Yes, actually; there's a pretty decent fascimile of a British pub in Flagstaff that specializes in Cornish pasties but also does various other things.

Me at the end of his first term: "Well, at least he didn't get us into a war with Iran."

This is the other end of the snow-day spectrum, but my high school graduation got pushed back a day due to excess snow days... and we all went to Grad Night at Disneyland on the scheduled night anyway.
