Don't forget the hot sauce.

Picky eaters are a first world problem. A friend's son won't eat a darn thing but nuggets or sun butter on brioche...I say she's just a wimpy parent (as a non- coincidence, this kid is also a giant disobedient monster jerk).
The fact that leftovers are left over. In other words, we have so much available food, not all of it gets eaten in one meal.

I have often thought that picky eaters are a first world problem.

I am in my mid forties. I still can't fold those things !
I learned decades ago to how to fold fitted sheets. It was in a laundromat with my grandmother, of all places. A very nice woman showed us both how to do it. I am sure instructions are posted online somewhere. It isn't that hard.

I guess that's everybody who has ever cooked them or every restaurant we've ever ordered them in (my wife loves them).

I was in a supermarket yesterday and saw a woman losing her ever-lovin' MIND on an employee over the fact that the "free coffee" urn was empty. First World Problems, I thought immediately. The woman was yelling that "every time she came in" the coffee was empty, and she demanded the poor teenager get a manager. I stress, it was *free* coffee, something nice the store provides but doesn't have to, and it was supermarket coffee, not some kind of gourmet item. She was behaving as if someone had taken food out of her child's mouth or something. If I were the manager, I'd pull the plug on the freebies entirely if this is how people are going to show their appreciation.

I just found one of my favorite (usually $60) champagnes for $23.

I bought 2.

My failure...did not chill it long enough before popping the cork.

Drinking it now...few degrees warmer than I usually enjoy.

Balls.

Yeah, but I do that on purpose when I cook AND restaurants give you too much anyway.

I moved to TN for 5 years for a job from the west coast, where I was born and raised. Came back missing grits. I actually discovered Walmart carries them in the instant packages by Quaker Oats! Even the Walmart here in far north coast CA carries them! They even carry the plain ones, which I prefer. I was so happy! I have some in my cupboard now :-)

I discovered that I like the instant low-calorie ones even better than the ones that can be done overly greasy in some restaurants. They're so good even really plain.

Well next time you are in Vegas, you'll have to stop by and show me.

I just roll my sheets up into as close to a square as possible, and jam them into a drawer. Honestly, who cares. They're just going to go on a bed that will be slept on. No need for perfection there.

My mother used to tell the story of how when she first got married, she used to iron the sheets. And that she got over it. LOL.
