I made lentils today, too! Mine had Thai red curry paste and coconut milk, a perfect meal. Even the lentil-wary in my house ate it. Cheers!

Update: I searched “kid play food paella” and found a picture of BOTH items in a big kit. The first item is shown on top of noodles. I now suspect it might be…curry? Lo mein?

I was aghast. When I left the house, Kem said, “Any price.” And when I sent him the photo, he said, “Not that much.”
Also, you sound like Kris 😂

The pitch meeting: What if we made an exclusive Twitter where you can only get in if someone invites you.
Other guy: You mean…like an MLM?
Pitch guy: no, like an exclusive club. Except you need to recruit other people into the club to make it fulfilling.
OG: So…a cult.

This is good representation: mom and daughter fight, but mom comes back in to apologize. She levels with her teen daughter and wants to engage with her feelings. Mom puts herself back in those size 5 Mary Janes and remembers being 16.
Lorelai exhibits good fighting behavior.

The Korean best friend is introduced and immediately mentions her parents setting her up with a future doctor 🙄
It was kind of interesting that her mom owns a cool, rustic antique store, but then her personality is “hating fun.”
Also, they refer to Eminem as “rock music.” 🤔

Lots of cute sex-positivity & open communication between mom & daughter. A fun, quirky “slut” joke in the first ~10 minutes. Their anodyne edginess is darling. It’s sweet with a touch of pumpkin spice.
I like Rory and Lorelai.

There’s a noticeable pattern of POC & Latinx people being held accountable for the white ladies’ helplessness. We have Melissa McCarthy (what?!) playing a chef who injures a Spanish speaking employee with her free-spirit, then said employee gets scolded for it. Oh dear. Could this be…white feminism?
