Chick-fil-A Crispy Chicken Sandwich Copycat This Chick-fil-A crispy chicken sandwich with homemade Chick-fil-A sauce is the perfect copycat recipe of the classic sandwich we all love!

I made this dupe of Chick-fil-a sandwich to see what the fuss is, and… that’s it? It’s barely mediocre fast-food tbh, and I’m a great cook so I know it’s not my cooking.

I Needed ‘Heated Rivalry’: Gay Romance Minus the Tragedy After a lifetime of settling for shame, secrecy and death onscreen, I had my doubts about “Heated Rivalry.” Then it seduced me, too.

"One of the marvels of 'Heated Rivalry' is its de-emphasis of tragedy," the critic Wesley Morris writes. "It hails from the world of the romance novel, where gay plots aren’t novel at all."

“But what about winter?”
“You've already had it.”
“We've had one, yes. But what about second winter?”

Unintelligent siamese cat sits in the bottom of a laundry hamper, confused as to how she fell in again.

The entire trip was them complaining about how awful the weather was. Yes, Edmonton may be cold, but not THAT

I’ve sent it to my dad to fill out (mom is ESL) as they were waiting in RD for 10 hours yesterday with concerns that my 68 yo mother was having another heart attack.

Brainless siamese cat in a box with a vacant expression. Beautiful but the vacuum of space is behind those eyes.

Evil-looking siamese cat sits on parked roomba, sunning herself

Thinking evil thoughts with no brain cells requires solar power

This is an incredible and utterly necessary project that shines a light on the enslavement of countless indigenous ppl.

Also worth noting that the municipalities, not the province, is footing that bill too.
