If you’re off trail and too close to wildlife, you’re in Alderaan places. Make good choices, you must!

.@lindaholmes — Appreciate the tip for “Who Killed the Video Star” podcast via @pchh. It’s a lovely, nostalgic audio journey, and it’s making me happy this week, too! @DaveHolmes https://t.co/1fDT6pyKbp

Yessss

[Meredith Shackleford @AmusingFoodie]

Have been eyeing this recipe in @guarnaschelli’s “Old-School Comfort Food” for years. Today’s the day… about to generously season short ribs with kosher salt to get this party started! 🍖🧂

@tony_ragusa @WRBolen @ClamsAndCockles @BarrettDudley I mean… 🫣😂

[Meredith Shackleford @AmusingFoodie]

@WRBolen @BarrettDudley Even though I’ve watched it twice now, I still feel like I’ve missed things — wouldn’t be shocked if my assumption ends up wrong. 😂 Enjoying things so far; glad you guys are covering it!

[Meredith Shackleford @AmusingFoodie]

@WRBolen @BarrettDudley In the E2 flashbacks, isn’t the child young Leah, and the dancing man is her dad (also Liz’s partner who died, which is why she has “custody” of Leah)?

PS: totally missed “twist and shout” in the flashback - makes sense why she hates it

"Think about all the creamy gooey-ness on the inside of a chicken pot pie, rolled up and coated with a light breadcrumb and then flash-fried just enough to get the filling hot on the inside, and the coating crispy on the outside.

They are AH-MAY-zing." — @amusingfoodie

This is for the young progressives out there. When I was a bit younger, I was terribly disappointed with then President Bill Clinton, who signed the hateful DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell into law. It seemed he had betrayed all of his values and the LGBTQ community that had helped get him elected. There was a part of me that said I would stand on principle and never vote for him again.

But then I remembered, voting isn’t about loving everything about your candidate. Voting for me is about making a strategic move that will best advance the cause of democracy, freedom and peace for all people, even if my candidate of choice really, really let me down.

I supported Bill Clinton for a second term, even though he had just signed DOMA into law, a law that said my love for my husband Brad was not enough to be legally recognized, not ever.

Candidates aren’t perfect. We shouldn’t ever expect them to agree with us always, even on the most basic of things.But we cast our votes as a prayer for them to do better because we know they can, and their hearts are in the right place.

Bill Clinton came around to supporting my community, without exception. It took time. We got there. So don’t waste your vote. Use it wisely, and make the decision, even if it’s hard, to back the best candidate for what the world needs, and to help prevent an utter catastrophe if, heaven forbid, the other one is elected.

@AmericanAir Thank you!

[Meredith Shackleford @AmusingFoodie]

@AmericanAir Had a checked bag at BMI through DFW to SEA today. Somehow bags got sent from DFW to Houston. I filed a claim, but am now in Seattle for a conference with no bag. Updates don’t seem to be happening. Can you help?

[Meredith Shackleford @AmusingFoodie]

@AmericanAir Just sent the DM. Thx!
