How do you take your tea or coffee?Submitted by Vasquez. Coffee: Black, unless I'm somewhere that serves bad coffee, in which case I have it construction worker style, cream and sugar.

QotD: I'd Like To Thank…
Congrats – TIME Magazine voted you "Person of the Year"! What's your acceptance speech? [this is bad] Ick. Dear sirs: keep the topical and snarky questions out of QoTD. It's not Vox's strong suit.

Tonight I took out the cookbook my family made in honor of my grandmother. It has her original hand-written recipe cards photocopied onto sheets with loosely related photos next to each, and typed versions of all the recipes. The project was done while she was still with us, and my mom helped her come up… Continue reading We miss those times
