I agree that a wiki recipe site is not great. But what about the fact that the broccoli casserole might be perfect in the test kitchen, but won’t translate as *perfect* to my kitchen, because I have a different stove, or a fridge drawer that...

OMG cliche.
I am literally watching Say Yes to the Dress while drinking rose on a Friday night.
(Also cliche, I am waiting to cook dinner until Nate gets back from Home Depot, where he is purchasing nuts/bolts/I have no idea for his homebrewing equipment.)

Embarrassing/awkward/uncomfortable/etc. feeling of the month: requiring someone (ie, Nate) to help you attempt to squeeze into a borrowed wetsuit (purchased by a person who weighs approximately 20 lbs less than you), only to find that even trying to zip the zipper will be an insurmountable task. Ugh.

Hear, hear. And the NYT article linked in the post is absolutely heartbreaking and horrible. I also just read a dude’s blog who’s going blind because he can’t afford surgery to treat his glaucoma (LOVE the blog name, btw). This is especially striking to me...
