Meat alternatives are getting good, but for fuck’s sake, stop frying them in the same oil as fish/chicken or grilling them where the burgers cooked. They have to figure that dilemma out if they ever want vegetarians and vegans to buy this shit. I’ll eat it because I’m into eating whatever. But my wife (lifelong vegetarian and vegan for a few of her years) who loves Beyond products has yet to try a single fast food version because it’s always the same situation. Prepared exactly where the meat is, and often comes out tasting like fish.

I didn’t get very into yogurt until after I had moved from the US to Canada, and now I’m haunted by the huge selection of flavours in the US that I no longer have access to. That’s okay, though. Liberté Greek yogurt is far superior to anything I ever tried down there.

We do both. We have organized dishes in one cupboard, and an absolute cluster-fuck in the one where we keep all the kids’ dishes and water bottles. In 30 years it will be that cupboard that our grand-kids pull an old plastic Barbie cup out of and have to give a quick smell test before pouring their drink into. You know the one.

I’m still afraid to switch to Linux because I’ve used Windows since i was a kid with Windows 95. It’s gotten progressively worse, and I’m still reluctantly camped out on Windows 10, but the thought of firing up a new operating system and going back to being a confused adolescent who doesn’t know how to get around (with or without accidentally making an older woman crouching in red lingerie the desktop wallpaper on my family computer and then denying any knowledge of it) makes me really uneasy.

Please, Linux whisperers. Calm my woes. 😓

Toys R Us still lives in Canada. She’s practically just as you remember her. And she’s happy. 🥲
