My son's Spanish teacher says that one of the biggest issues for English learners is now how fast the language changes; all the kids you talk to are suddenly saying 'she ethered me' and the learner is going What? Why? You weren't saying that last month.

A San Francisco restaurant, La Tosca, is reopening after a change of management, takeout-only. The chef explained that it isn't "tweezer food". I'm guessing that tweezer food is elaborately plated, not actually cooked with tweezers somehow?

Good luck! I hate smears because it makes a nasty noise when you try to scrape them off with your fork/spoon.

I miss Ohio-style pizza, which is what I grew up with and therefore right.
