I was berated a bit on another forum for unnecessary commentary on a post, and the guy was actually right, but it still kinda felt like a put-down. I'm very glad this forum at least has an off-topic thread and you fine folk seem to be more relaxed.
End of mini-rant.

Yeah - we are pretty well behaved and relaxed here. But its always best to read the regs which are reasonably clear, I think: User Guidelines and Rules

Don't know what 'OMG Chowhound' means! Have I acted inappropriately as a mod?

Meghan Markle's First Book Sits in the Library of Congress

Now, this is not something about her (although involved) but about the book she wrote in her 8yo that I just found out wandering on line. I liked the idea since it’s about freckles which I bred on me since that age . They called me (and still do) ladybug

Good for you!
I really hate my sink, with its center division and uneven nature (one side larger than the other), its the only feature of my kitchen I dislike.

I've reached that point of the pandemic where I feel like I've cooked all existing dishes from all existing cuisine in the world in all possible combinations, twice. I go through pages and pages of recipes and still don't know what to cook.
