App designers can do what they want, absolutely, but changing logo color schemes can have a ripple effect.
I now have a home screen on my phone with many beautiful coordinating jewel tones and then at the bottom one eye-jarring fluorescent yellowish olive icon.
Honestly considering moving it away.

An advent calendar with 12 items isn't an advent calendar.

Why does Trader Joes not carry the chocolate chip panettone anymore?
I ate five of them one year. You can't tell me they don't sell.

Don't know where my yeti lid is and I'm comfy on the couch.
I'll just drink the tea really fast so it doesn't cool off.

Made it again, and this time did the shallow fry on my camping stove outside (on a metal table, I'm not an idiot). No "fried" smell in the house, and even with setting it up and taking it down, less overall prep/clean time.
Absolute winner of a recipe/process. I'm so happy about this it's stupid.

Well, kids, I have, at the tender age of 50 years old, just finally made fried chicken successfully for the first time ever.
What's more, the stove is NOT a solid blob of grease, and I can do this recipe for 2 boneless/skinless chicken thighs (my usual freezer pack size) for 3-4 servings.
NICE.

Man in a shop: How was Japan?
Woman: Good. I met a man who couldn't read English. I let him know that the word printed on his favourite top was 'tampons'.
