The stranger people are, the less I want them to be strangers. #thinkaboutit

@GordonRamsay Does your cauliflower salad recipe call for 100ml olive oil or 200ml olive oil for the vinaigrette? I’ve been watching MasterChef and have renewed confidence to try cooking, and this recipe on your restaurants’ site has me a bit confused. I don’t want to mess up!

I just watched #iknowwhatyoudidlastsummer for the first tole@in eons, @RealFPJr, you are forever a rockstar.

I feel so grown up now that I have a sourdough starter. I don’t know what to do with it, but I am exceptionally pleased by the #motherdough, still alive and bubbling. #smallwins #wecantallbeobama #baking #oldlady

When I listen to @ladygaga, I feel just a little bit invincible. Thank God for music ❤️.

@DannyJohnJules @PBS @CCfunkandsoul I love that you remember that! ❤️ Oh how I do love thee, @DannyJohnJules!

[Diane D @dianethinks]

I watched endless hours of #RedDwarf on @PBS in Seattle 26 years ago & that’s why I fell in love with everything British. Now, I can’t stop watching... from my London flat!🤯 @DannyJohnJules @CCfunkandsoul You don’t know this, but we’re family! I love you smegheads! ❤️

Moving to #England was insane, and a year after arriving, #COVID19 spread. I am so thankful to the #NHS and the healthcare here! I received my second jab of #AstraZeneca a few days ago & I am so grateful to be vaccinated. Also? England knows what’s up when it comes to healthcare.

I think I’m scaring people in my new neighborhood. I’m a friendly American making eye contact AND saying hello to my British neighbors. I hope they don’t throw me out. #camdentown #london #creaturescalledbrits

I’ve listened to a lot of amazing artists, but @BenSPLATT makes me feel like he understands, in a way that few others do. #wavingthroughawindow #isanyanybodywavingbackatme

I moved to #London two years ago and just attempted my first risotto. I added so much salt that I expect @GordonRamsay to burst through the front window and his head explode. Also, I thought you got a free #gordonramsay lesson when you moved here. Hmm.

I remember when Felicity cut her hair and my world was rocked. I feel old today. #90stv #felicity #oldlady #thegoodolddays

Toilet won’t stop running so I asked the landlord to send a plumber. The landlord says sure, he’s on the way. Dude arrives, checks out everything, even removes outdoor drain covers, then says, “I don’t know what to tell you. I’m no plumber.” And he wasn’t kidding. #wtfoftheday

@DangeRussWilson @gq @ciara I love you too, Russ! ... oh... wait... awkward! 🤗❤️ #goseahawks

*Twenty* years ago, @TheMandyMoore ‘s kind guitar player @jasonhook03 randomly took me backstage and snapped this photo of @Pink and me at @Kiss1061Seattle “Jingle Bell Bash” in Seattle, WA. I just found the (awful 🤣) photo and damnit, it makes me feel cool! #random

[Diane D @dianethinks]

@FromJimjim Nice! I’m so glad you got some snow!

I’m super late to the party but @McDowellMalc, you were brilliant in Clockwork Orange! I don’t know why it took me so long to see, but hats off to you, sir! I am blown away (and a little bit scarred, as I should be!) #thankyouforthemovies

[Diane D @dianethinks]

@TravisMayfield I dig it! You rock it and own it!

[Diane D @dianethinks]

@shaqpipelegs So much fluffy adorable fur!

[Diane D @dianethinks]

@chelseaperetti I wouldn’t want to pretend either. Flamingos are some seriously brilliant birds.
