On How To Make Weeknight Pasta Sauce
@AnonymousHoward I disagree with most of this, except for oregano (oregano sucks). You will pry the onions I'm using in my sauce out of my cold, dead, onion-y hands, and only after you get through the fresh pasta I keep in the fridge (I work near a specialty shop where an actual Italian grandma makes it in the back. It's $2.50 a pound). But my purism and your purism clashing is a beautiful thing.
Oh also - a little pasta water in the sauce AND a little pat of butter will make it smooth and glossy. I recommend.

On 'The Secret Circle': Teen Witches In ZOMG Love
I call the cat thing "push-push." My friend calls it kneading dough. My mom doesn't call it anything, she just starts freaking out and goes, "awwwwww!!!!!! Awwwwww!!! That's what they do to stimulate their mother's milk!!!!"
BTW my cat will occasionally, while doing push-push, take a little piece of blanket in her mouth and pull/chew on it simultaneously. It's kind of the best.

On 'The Thorn Birds': When Young, Sexy, Straight Priests Roamed The Earth
@Meg Morrison@twitter Same, right down to "ignored the whole seducing-a-priest bit." I always found it confusing... isn't the character's real name Margaret? Why isn't my name Margaret? I also know a Margaret whose nickname is Megan. Oh, the Irish.
