A white kitchen?
How do they make that?
Over two hours of food that @SplinterRIP is supposed to eat.
Watcha got?
A white kitchen is a choice, I suppose.
The main Trumper in my sort of social circle once entertained a double date with a Spaghetti dinner (he was a teen at the time and that’s better than what I would have cooked which would have been Kraft Dinner). Anyway, it seems he had too much wine and let the pot of noodles catch fire (bad kitchen craft.)
Instead of turning off the heat or covering the pot, he panicked and decided to throw the burning mess out the door into a strong wind which promptly threw the burning noodles back into the white kitchen.
His mom, the ever kind and warm person, screamed more about him ruining her white kitchen than the burns on his face/body.
And yes, his current home has a white kitchen…
I know people love white kitchens. I have white cabinets, but actual colors for the rest.
White kitchens remind me too much of being inside a White Castle yet without the benefit of really good chocolate milkshakes and hot fries.
I’ve recently worked on a bunch of kitchen & bathroom renovations that all used white cabinets, tile, and trim. I am not a fan but it is a current trend in renovations in many places.
I’m going to watch Farscy’s people race backwards!
found our winter playhouse…

I would never leave that chalet. Holy hell. Mon dieu.
You mean, “Mon dieu au paradis!”
In this novel that I’m trying to birth, there’s a lot of real estate pron. The main residence is a double townhouse on the Upper East Side, and then there’s a huge 4-season vacation house on a lake in Connecticut, and there’s also family access to a 13th-century (parts of it; a little bit of the cellars and foundations) on the Sorrento Peninsula in Italy. And an elderly relative lives in a grand apartment in Paris, the 6th (arrondissement; that’s St-Germain-des-Prés) and I have experienced all of this kind of stuff. It’s a very good life, and well-lived.
ah man…..good ole times…when health and safety regulations were more….suggestions…really
anyways…they picked the dafs for that race coz the variomatic transmission made them as fast in reverse as they were in forward
Someone sent me this and it’s the best I can do right now.

Also Me and most Toronto sports teams.
If I had the skills, I would change “Minnesota Vikings” to “Your Sportsball Team”. Or at least “Maple Leafs” for @myopicprophet.
Ugh!
I am not smart enough to understand cricket. Believe me, I’ve tried.
I view cricket the same way I view rugby.
Ohhh I can see the ancestor to baseball and American football. But not understand really how it’s played.
I’ve watched a little pickup cricket which is played with stripped down rules, and it was surprisingly easy to follow.
The basics as I understood is that you just have two bases (wickets) and a guy with a bat at each one. The pitcher (or whatever they’re called) throws to one, and they can hit it anywhere, so the fielders are all in a circle. Hit the ball, the runners go to the other base, and if they make it they score a run.
I think it’s similar for baseball for outs – you catch a ball in the air or throw someone out. Instead of a strikeout, the pitcher knocks down the wicket.
The finer points of what counts as an out, what’s an illegal play, when teams switch — I didn’t follow. But it’s kind of like soccer, where the basic action isn’t too hard to figure out.
That helps a little. I’m still having trouble with the long pants and v-neck sweaters.
The hats look funny too.
