Speaking of Stanley Tucci and culinary inspiration...my wife and I tried Andouillette while in France. Once was enough en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andouil...
Simon Edmonds@sjsedmonds.bsky.social · 7h agoStanley Tucci did one of his Searching for Italy programmes from Rome (Ep2) if you want some culinary inspirations.
Wife is out tonight so kids requested frozen pizza. Thinking of taking them out of the oven with tongs
Wife and I have conversation about trimming hydrangeas. Next time I open IG, there's a video about how to trim hydrangeas, so I send it to my wife. Now my timeline is all hydrangea-trimming videos
Text from my mom: there are three letters from law firms that arrived for you. Should we open them? I have not lived at my parents' house for 20+ years

One of the nice perks of being in France was that they provided ice with drinks
M&M Adventures@mmadventures.bsky.social · 2d agoThe extra beef was just one thing … when we went with my visiting family, they acted bizarrely about providing ice like we wanted it to melt to avoid paying for water instead of for the drinks. Dude even made a comment when he was asked for more. … they also have a second level that never gets used.
Hey Germany - Cookies & Cream is far better than Stracciatella
So Doug is saying there's a chance... At another top 5 draft pick
Doug Pickard @trackerdoug.bsky.social · yesterdayEvery year is this big hype followed by reality. Too much talent has been squandered in Cleveland. This team needs new leadership and ownership. The Browns are as disappointing as cold and limp French fries your DoorDash guy just dropped off. Big money force-feeds us crap and we just keep takin' it.
A truly beautiful city, and still underrated due to its location
ContempraInn 🌹@contemprainn.bsky.social · yesterdayDresden is the capital of Saxony, Germany 🇩🇪 known as "Florence on the Elbe" for its stunning Baroque architecture, art, and culture,
Wait, promising to pay people for a service and then backing out - I wonder where he learned that from? 🤔
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · yesterdayThe US host cities for the 2026 men's World Cup claim that they were *verbally* promised $1 million each by Gianni Infantino and that FIFA hasn't paid up. Truly incredible stuff. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...
Added to our collection during our trip. I think this puts us over 80 cups 😳

Highlight was learning the French are nice people & not the stereotypical "rude" & seeing more of Europe. Lowlight was finding out a family member of my wife died, extending the trip
Yes this. They could've had a RRHOF resume for either their first five albums (Murmur through Document) or their second five albums (Green through New Adventures in HiFi)
Better Burque@betterburque.bsky.social · 3d agoyeah, picking three and not four from "Out of Time" to "NAiHF" is wonky, but I think that also means REM was good for more than three records in a row. Astoundingly so.
I remember seeing an article a few years back about how Gen Z has limited knowledge of real-world computer skills - i.e. everything is stored in the Download folder. Older folks assume they know these things, that they have never bothered to ask if they actually do.
Jeff Lazarus@jlazarus.bsky.social · 3d ago1/ REALLY insightful thread. (Jess's, not miee) Many of my students (particularly undergrads) lack basic computer skills, including folder structures, knowing that you need to download certain files to open them, how to navigate a spreadsheet etc. And it affects their ability to do schoolwork.
Watching the new season of Quarterback on Netflix and they're talking about how Cam Ward "got paid" in college. My wife: but they don't get paid in college Me: oh, they do now Wife: what about selling rings and tattoos and stuff?
Getting up courage to call someone and ask quickly in German if we can speak in English
Hey ho, way to go Ohio It's really an embarrassing time to be from this state. Remember when we were a purple state?
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3d agoThere are a lot of Ohio Republicans in the news right now and it can get confusing. I'm here to help.

Back in the HB after vacation 3 weeks 5 countries 10+ cities 4300+ km on the car And countless memories It is good to be home
This is a good take. I don't understand the fascination with Joy Division. I will give them credit for that one T-shirt I never saw 20 years ago.
lil miss big boy@lighter.bsky.social · 5d agoPost your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.
And this was payback from my family for subjecting them to Pavement a few days ago

Jesus died for somebody's sins...but just in case
Rich Raho@richraho.bsky.social · 6d agoPope Leo received singer and songwriter Patti Smith in private audience this morning. The Pope and Smith are both Chicago natives. She was accompanied by @antoniospadaro.bsky.social, undersecretary for the Vatican's Dicastery for Culture and Education.
For Cleveland friends: - Who killed Amy Mihaljevic - the George Kokinis story
G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 6d agoWhat's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story
We were at Europapark earlier this week and my evaluation of the CanCan coaster was downgraded because it reminded me too much of Bayern
50 Plus Döner@50plusdoner.bsky.social · 6d agoBayern already in their "Get ready to hear Can Can 20 times" form
And here we go folks. I'll wait until the kids go to bed, pour myself a drink, and enjoy this in all its glory.

Beat part of today's edition. It's like Christmas Eve for Brown's fans.
Defector@defector.com · last wk.I’d say we should stick a fork in John Harbaugh, but Cam Skattebo might try to eat him if we did so. The Giants suck:
Spent some time in Switzerland: Wife: ok, what do we know about Switzerland? Kids: Heidi! Me: Lemme tell you about the Heidi Game... I never let a good opportunity to reinforce their American heritage
