Not me, alas! The wrong Helen!

After I had my daughter, one of the qualities I looked for in infant formula was existence, which was an aspect my breast milk lacked

It’s 500 calories! Not much of a diet food!

(It’s the new frozen-foods line from Nissin, apparently it’s specifically aimed at GLP-1 users)

Front packaging for a frozen meal of spaghetti carbonara with broccoli: “Kanzen Meal: Inspired by Japanese craftsmanship.”The slogan is “Comfort food for well being.”

Close up of the back panel of the frozen meal box: Japanese philosophy believes in balance-two things that complement each other rather than conflict. These two paths converge with KANZEN MEAL, which translates to "Complete" in Japanese. We believe the optimal balance of protein, fats and carbs, along with micronutrients, is an essential need for well being. KANZEN MEAL embodies these beliefs through the creation of Optimized Nutri-Dense*™* Meals that are both delicious and full of nutrients. Be satisfied, in body and mind. That is balance. That is KANZEN MEAL. KAN ZEN MEAL 21, PROTEN 10, 0, ADOED SUGAR 27 EVENTUA VITAMINS S MNERALS OPTIMIZED NUTRI-DENSE MEALS

Oh my god

Scaachi is a jewel

I prefer the Post’s tbh, really artful and a killer kicker

Very specifically said I don’t want kits!

Categorizing all my friends based on whether their “you wanna see a dead body” text links to the NYT review or the WaPo review

Time for my annual appeal for bakeries to sell holiday cookie blanks — cookie-cutter sugar cookies with NO decoration, nothing else, not bundled with any decorating elements or anything — so lazy ppl like me can buy them and decorate them at home

Thank you!

You don’t really see Chick tracts that much anymore. This was a special moment.

Dog who just pooped looking very proud of herself; dog poop wrapped up in the evangelical Chick tract “Gomez is Coming”

Ran out of poop bags while walking Dido so I used a Chick tract that was on the ground next to her poop?! God works in mysterious ways, blessings etc

I think all the time about the early Wirecutter guide to buying bike locks that involved extensive interviews with actual bike thieves

Irrationally angry that Wirecutter’s “best Black Friday deals” roundup includes insulting shit like $5 off a $30 Tupperware set and $5 off $43 plain glass vases. Fuck you.

I should probably republish it on a live website but in the meantime, god bless the Wayback Machine web.archive.org/web/20201117...

My cold-oven turkey recipe really is the best and you should all make it next year :)

Huzzah, this is great timing...! A lovely #Thanksgiving for Joan Aiken and her wonderful Wolves Chronicles...no comeback necessary, they're all still running...! Come and find them on her website:
