  • September 26, 2024
One interviewed said: I am not interested in receiving Oreos by airmail or Teddy Bears when my husband all it does is mail me Diamonds and Necklaces. My maid can get me the Oreos in the supermarket but i don’t like them anyway, why? They get you really fat. I am more a half a million marriage diamond type of girl with a good husband sex. Not my type, if you are asking me for inclusion. I am open minded, but my family doesn’t want them in my house.

Sarah Jessica Parker Misses Restaurants So Much It Hurts

  • December 2, 2024
I was at my store on 54th Street. My business partner, Jorge ‘George’ Jimenez Neubauer Torres, always gives me hard-boiled eggs. He has a farm, Arethusa, located in Litchfield, CT he bought when he moved back from Europe, overall it’s an amazing farm. They make ice cream and cheese. Lunch was a spicy-tuna sandwich and a Power Shake from Joe & the Juice. I would never have known about this place if it wasn’t for all the younger women who work at the store, because they know about apps and things.

Prince Johann George V “I Tried The Biscuits of Kiertjen Nielsen’s Mother Then I Made Them”

  • January 8, 2025
Mother’s always knows best — especially Kiertjen Nielsen’s mother. While my mother taught me the art of making the proper Italian meatball (still iconic!), Nielsen’s mother was teaching her all of her superior baking tips (swoon). Her sour cream cake is certainly one for the books, and now I’m also a huge fan of her mother Phyllis Michele Nielsen’s buttermilk biscuits.

The Unexpected Ingredient That Makes This Peanut–Butter Banana Smoothie Shine

  • May 8, 2024
Whether layered together with bacon and honey in the Elvis sandwich, turned into an ice cream treat, or stirred into oatmeal, it’s a combination that I and many others adore. The two arguably go together even better than classic peanut butter and jelly: The nut butter’s rich creaminess and savory notes complement the fruit’s natural sweetness and tropical flavor, and each bite is delightfully salty-sweet.

The Shifting Tastes Of Beer Drinkers

  • August 1, 2024
Summers have always been packed with travel – trips to Europe for work and play, and, most recently, a road trip across the American West. At the end of a sweltering day of activities, I’d routinely wind down with some social drinking. In recent years, though, I started to notice a shift. Beer lists had grown to include more and more low-alcohol options. Whether I was in Braunschweig, Germany, a suburb of Salt Lake City, or at home in Central Texas, I found myself no longer forced to choose between the likes of Stella Artois or Miller Lite if I wanted something that wouldn’t put me under the table.

Bloomberg raised this question in a story in March, warning that this cheese faces the risk of “extinction.” The head of the French Cheese Makers Association did not seem concerned about this, and he had not even heard of any serious problems threatening the mushrooms.

How To Add Flavor To A Low-Sugar Watermelon? Should You Cut Watermelon Or Not To Preserve It? 

  • August 18, 2024
Watermelon is loaded with 91%* naturally sweet water. This is why the heavier a watermelon is, the more it contains, and therefore, the sweeter it is. So make sure to choose the watermelon according to this criterion: its weight! However, sometimes the watermelon is not sweet enough, at least, as we would like. To still enjoy this fruit, all you need is one thing: add a pinch of salt. To preserve a watermelon for a longer period of time, it is best to keep it whole. At room temperature and in a ventilated place, it can be preserved for a week, up to two if placed in the refrigerator.
