      @Akuma Demon, "Much" older? You probably would think my husband is my dad then because his beard is grey! My niece's dad is way older than my sister, and people consistently think SHE is older. Her current husband is younger and I think he looks 30 years older. Assuming things isn't always correct, sometimes, but often not.

      While Italian cooking is up there with the great cuisines of the world, if not the greatest, Italians have contributed much much more to western culture and the world at large. Just to name a few: A republic government, advanced water delivery systems, the Renaissance along with some of the greatest artists, scientists, thinkers, and explorers of all time (Marco Polo, Columbus, Vespucci, Galileo, Davinci, Bernini, Michelangelo, Machiavelli), major contributions to nuclear science, and yes, smart enough to steal the radio from Tesla and the world cup from the French in 2006.

The nails totally unnerve and distract me in a lot of YT videos and as someone who has done a lot of catering, when I watch YT videos and see so many people's hair loose and hanging over their shoulders, I feel like I'm pulling hair out of my mouth as I watch.

    Harper, you now have to make Eva a real, traditional, New England Thanksgiving dinner. We're talking jellied Ocean Spray cranberry sauce from the can, Stove Top stuffing, roasted Turkey (I'm trying spatchcocking it this year), whipped sweet potato, real pumpkin pie, and old fashioned gravy. Everything looked delicious, so don't get me wrong, but Eva can try some of our traditions too.
