It's more a parenting thing, but kinda food related anyway.

Not I. Sleeping in was—and still is—just about my very favorite activity in the whole world. More than sledding. More than eating pancakes with a side of French toast. :-}

Indeed. Saw this on Instagram the other day, mostly food-related:

 

Heinous things I did to make my three-year-old daughter cry today:

✔️ Poured syrup on her pancakes without letting her hold the tiny handle on the bottle
✔️ Wouldn’t let her play with my toothbrush
✔️ Beat her to the kitchen in a race I didn’t know we were having
✔️ Ate the last of her orange after she told me she was finished with it

I’m a MONSTER, apparently.

@Shelby

 

Ive had this   two 5 liter boxed 

 

quite some time ago  a red and a white .

 

next to each other .  Dry , very little oak

 

Table Wine.

 

later , the various conglomerates that made the various branded boxws

 

did a little fiddle , and some faddle  ...

 

thr dry white wine from Chile  became a bit sweet

 

as did the red .

 

a very good thing , in a way

 

those other boxes , w more or less the same sort of table wine

 

I drink now.

 

I had to check on , you know , from time oi time.

 

passing the refrigerator .  Checking on things .

 

now , I pull a cork

 

and that's a lot harder than checking , from time time. t

That's impressive, assuming it was made with croissant dough.

I could eat croissants for a living and that was my thought, too.

 

 

...and I make at least a small part of my living by vetting AI outputs on a number of different criteria, and I don't doubt it for a minute. I expect image-generating AI will largely supplant conventional memes and animated GIFs over the next few years. And I'm willing to wager that bringing dad jokes to realistic life will certainly be a major use-case. :)

Odd coincidence - just watched an episode of QI (British comedy/quiz show) where this was mentioned.  They said that Parmesan is the most shoplifted item in Italian grocery stores and that some places have started microchipping cheeses because of that.

Wow... the vet's face must have been a study when fielding that request... :P

Unintentionally funny, but that didn't stop those of us in line from smiling quietly without making jokes at someone else's expense.

Seen at a rehab hospital yesterday, which incidentally has pretty good food.
