All foods that combine peanut butter and chocolate. Chocolate dipped nutter butters, nutty buddys, reese's cups, chocolate & peanut butter milkshakes, buckeyes, peanut butter brownies. If I had to pick one manufactured food instead of a category: nutty buddy wafers.

Back up a minute. You can't say that the nutrition information is available to the a majority of the world, state that health education is important, and then say we shouldn't force restaurants, etc to post calorie breakdowns and macros. That health information available to a majority of the world is due to labeling laws.…

I went on Saturday and got the full size jar of Justice and the New Hope box for free. So now I have 4 spice mixes to try. My "I hate errands" 9 year old boy was more than happy to jump in the car when he heard "if you want tacos, we need to go."

Jumping in on the love for Sunny Paris on eggs. I also like Krakow Nights on chicken.

No, the CHOCOLATE ONES. With a big glass of milk.

Kitchen efficiency will definitely affect your willingness to cook. My kitchen is tiny (townhouse). Trying to cook anything more complicated then "sear a steak, nuke some frozen veggies" requires me to have a completely clean kitchen. I can't have dirty dishes on the counter, clean dishes or dry goods on the counter, etc.…

No the argument for single payer is it guarantees a minimum level of care to all citizens, takes healthcare out of the employee & employer relationship, keeps hospitals open in low income or low population areas, reduces hospital waste on unnecessary equipment purchases to compete with neighboring hospitals even though the…

Why? Why does a single payer healthcare system need to be voluntary? What is unique to it that does not apply to everything else that is paid for by taxes? I don't decide how much I pay towards the military each year. Neither do I pick each year my contribution to roads, schools, or a myriad of other government provided…

Honestly I don't care if people spend money on toys. It's a non-issue and used for victim blaming. Hey sick person, did you take a vacation last year with your family? Did you buy your kids a video game system for Christmas? How dare you! Didn't you know you were going to have a horrible accident the next year and be on…

Do you also want to bring back debtors prison? Because the reality is those costs do normally get passed on to the person without insurance. They either pay, negotiate a discounted repayment, or declare bankruptcy when they fall behind on their payments. It's not like hospitals go "oh you're uninsured? You're free!" They…

Sounds good to me and I have some in my desk.

I like to put a Christmas peep in my homemade cocoa. So yes, they do go well with chocolate (especially if you make your cocoa with powdered chilis in it.)

To be honest I'm having a hard time responding to your post. I'm not "doubling down" on anything, you're making clearly factually inaccurate statements about government accountability, and some vague bumper sticker-ish statements about greatness. But to attempt to respond: a) the government already provides healthcare and…

I'm very aware of the cost. I'm an HR manager for an employer of approximately 14,000 people. I have my SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources). Many employers would LOVE to get out of the business of providing health care for their employees. It would be much easier for us to take that employer cost and pay it as a…

Along that vein, it shouldn't be our employer's responsibility to manage our health care. Yet they do. I'm all for replacing what we have with a single payer system. My husband doesn't like his job and he's really tempted to move to another employer. But it would potentially cause such a disruption to our son's medical…

Those soldiers will never forget the carnage that day, nor the screams of the vegetables.

Delivery? Krispy Kreme is on GrubHub and DoorDash.

Get a tiny spoon, like baby food tiny. Now that half cup will feel huge!

Hey, I bought my bike! (link here: https://electrabike.com/bikes/townie-commute/townie-commute-27d?g=stepthru) I will say I have a hard time telling "paved bike path" from "sidewalk". The rules seem to change from area to area. Some roads have a bike lane and a narrow traditional sidewalk, so that's pretty clear. Some…

How dare they serve plants to lab rats. No really, where am I supposed to be appalled and offended? The link you provided says the opposite of the "notorious for poor conditions and ill treatment". If you're going to make that claim, how about a link that supports it instead of one talking about how they carefully screened…

They are absolutely delicious! You can justify that you are getting delicious gelato and a free storage container! The number of people I see reuse them to store craft supplies, wood working supplies, loose little items in the pantry, etc.

I saw these for the first time at the store. (Whimper)

Yoga. Yoga really builds up core strength.

Canada is so large that the it's virtually guaranteed that the population isn't smoothly distributed across the country. There are probably areas with 15-20% vegetarian and areas with "that Wilson girl" as their sole representative.

I 100% agree with this statement. It's an abomination that should require wait staff to use air quotes and a weird vocal stress when asking you if would like American on that. "Would you like Swiss, pepper jack,sharp cheddar cheese, or (sigh) American cheese?" I also agree with the assertions about being designed to eat…

I've never been, but we did get a gift card at Christmas.

I doubt I would enjoy it as a hamburger replacement. I know the trend most places are thin little well-done patties. They cook fast, etc. When I order a hamburger I want a fat patty and I want it rare. I normally get my burgers at Ted's Montana Grill (mmm, bison) and LarkBurger (black angus beef). Don't even get me started…

I'm buying a bike for my birthday this weekend and you guys are making me nervous.

Our remaining cat gets outside time since we replaced our backyard fence. We just open up the back door and out she goes (she's declawed in front, her tendency to lash out wasn't safe when we had a baby in the house). She likes to hang out and watch the squirrels have a hissy fit over her being there.

Where do you live that trains and buses are mostly empty? During rush hour I drive past the park-n-ride and there are lines of people waiting to get on the bus (when I road it for work I had to stand and sometimes wait for the next one). I see the light rail and it’s also full. The only time I’ve ridden light rail and it…
