(By which I mean, “Things I just figured out that everyone else has known for years”)
* If you are boiling water (for pasta, etc), fill the pan with hot water. (I was so thrilled when I figured this out last year, but it turns out I’d heard it on Hell’s Kitchen before that).
* When the masseuse asks how much pressure you like, don’t be a hero and say “I’m not a baby!”. And if you do, have the guts to speak up and say “AHHHHHHHHH, less pressure!!!!!!!” So much of the massage (using a gift card that was a birthday gift from Gene) was really lovely but I think she brought in an elephant for the part where she worked on my back because owwwwwwwwww.
You’re welcome. Now go into the world and be smarter than me.
LOL! Now you know why I think massages are highly overrated! Aside from the tickle factor.
