I'm a big fan of Julia Child and I enjoyed watching her make Baba au Rhum.
If I had any rum in the house, I'd be wrist deep in dough.

Everyone knows women don't poop. They hold it in and it comes out as drama.

Happy Friday Miss C!

Jason Torchinsky on cup holders is full of poop.
He says “In the front, they tend to be set fairly low, on the central tunnel, and if you’re driving and actually interested in seeing what’s going on in that big window in front of you, the position isn’t always great, as it can take a glance and attention to find and get ahold of your drink.”

But having all the cars controls on a center mounted screen you have to hunt and peck to operate is cool?

Most people are right handed. Maneuvering any liquid, no less hot liquid, into the tight space between the steering wheel and the drivers door, avoiding the turn signal, headlights, and cruise control, takes more than a little attention. Plus attaching it to the door is a fools game so very limited location.

Reading the 29 strangest mysteries was like watching a TV commercials with all the hype and superlatives but never say what the product is. LoL
