Tacos, Haircuts & Hallmark Movies
Can the human spirit ever conquer the chaotic mess that is the taco, or should we all just give up and eat a burrito the size of our arm? Lisa wonders why she can’t love tacos like the rest of the world and instead faces a crisis over what end to bite and whether the taco is just out to intimidate her. Meanwhile, Samantha has zero patience for anyone who overthinks handheld foods and just wants her bestie to quit on tacos, at least. What does forced change mean when your hairdresser of 25 years

A Loofah Lifespan, Dessert Rules & User Fees
Why do restaurants assume you don’t want dessert, are anti-dessert vibes real or all in your head? Is it rude to skip dessert, or should you start your meal with sweets just because you can?

Why do chicken pot pies act like they’re pies when really, under that crust, it’s just a veggie ambush? Who decided it was okay for a sub to cost $19? Are we paying rent on that bread or what? And at what point during your Firehouse Subs experience do you realize the bun is doing all the heavy lifting? If you died in your worst und

Separate Suppers, AI & Protein Problem
Why do married people suddenly feel the need to want the same thing for supper every night? Is supper really just a nightly team-building exercise, or has it become a make-work project no one signed up for? Can someone help me understand why using ChatGPT for a comedy show poster makes you the villain of Facebook, while using Canva is practically a charitable act?

Whipped Cream, Girl Dinners & Questionable Leftovers
Does whipped cream really have a season, or can it be enjoyed all year round? Is there a right way or a wrong way to do “girl lunch” and "girl dinner,” or are we just making up food rules for fun? Do leftovers have a 24-hour expiry, or are we living on the edge by keeping turkey for day two or is it time we admit we just toss them after pretending to care? Why does opening garbage bags have to be so hard, and will the struggle ever end? If you can’t decide which is worse, a trapeze artist with
