So freeing! I'll even use the oil from things that come packed in it to make mayo.
This, in particular, makes a great mayo

When I got breast cancer 8 years ago (No evidence of disease now. Thanks science!), I shared xkcd's comics about cancer and love with my friends and family so they'd better understand my reality.
I'm trying to not have emotional attachment to this new comic, but failing — happily.

I survived the Friendsgiving of Seven (or was it Eight?) Stuffings!
That despite the hosts telling everyone NOT to bring stuffing because that was their favorite dish to make.

Friendsgiving potluck. The person who volunteered—enthusiastically, mind you—to make mashed potatoes for everyone:
- arrived so late that everyone was done eating
- with a bag of raw potatoes
- asked the hosts "Where are your pots?"
- made mashed potatoes
- complained no one ate their potatoes
- arrived so late that everyone was done eating
- with a bag of raw potatoes
- asked the hosts "Where are your pots?"
- made mashed potatoes
- complained no one ate their potatoes

I was once subjected to brisket and matzoh ball soup with no salt. A part of me fled the universe that day, never to return.
