What? The blind is about how MM and Harry were set up and met while she was yachting. So one guy she yachted with passed her along to Harry and then... “love”. Eta: not first guy just a guy. Don’t what me. I told you I was confused! Lol. That you were. It made me chuckle. Seems so lighthearted - paid to be friends vs yachting |

I hated her simply because I hate Ben Mulroney more than life itself and so I hated whoever could marry his stupid face. I’m glad to have real reasons now August Blooms Another example of only being famous because of your last name. He never would have gotten into TV otherwise with his personality and face. Omg his wet dishrag personality. It personally offends me |

We don't know who these people are in the US. I get that this guy is related to the former PM based on his name but I've never heard of this tv career. |

I don't have any issues with how they announced this pregnancy. I felt the buttoned coat was more respectful at a wedding. Yes it made people question but it would have been in poor taste to have worn something that announced the baby at another's wedding. The binder is meh. Sometimes people who are woking carry binders. The rest is meh.

That’s a joke. The Mulroney’s just eat crackers for me and anyone who thinks jumping on their bandwagon is great also gets the stink eye from me.
Plus Jessica is just nauseating and has bad taste.

No way she made it. Everyone who works with her signs their life away. The banana bread secret is safe with them. Did they say it was good bread? Banana bread is so basic that if she had someone make it for her I'm laughing even harder. Some people make terrible banana bread. They can’t get rid of the baking powder taste. Just horrid. |

Where did MM get overripe bananas? Was this bread baking a shade to the people who provided the fruit in her royal quarters?

I have a recipe for banana bread cookies that was passed down as a family recipe that is actually good and people like them.

Thank you for watching! I think it’s so different from anything else on TV right now. Maya Rudolph’s performance is outstanding. I visited the set the when they shot the scene in which Kase confronts June for breaking into her house. I had lunch with Fred before that, and he sat behind me and watched the scene, too. Let me know what you think of episode 6. It’s somewhat reminiscent of the NY, I Love You episode in season two of Master of None. Episode six was excellent, but also really bummed me out. But, like, in a good way. Saw ep 6 last night. I loved it, but yes - there was something almost uneasy/tension inducing throughout the whole thing. DH even let out his breath and was like “whoa” after the episode was over. I’ve actually only see DH be visibly affected by a show/movie one other time in our 18 years together. So, that’s something. I really liked it a lot. Aziz Ansari wrote the episode (I think I saw that in the credits), which I also found interesting. ETA - nm - Aziz didn’t write it. His brother wrote episode 5 though! |

She (or whomever you believe made it) put chocolate chips and some ginger in it. I make basically some variation of banana/zucchini/pumpkin bread every week for DS1's lunch because he's a jerk and doesn't eat anything. But throw a handful of mini chips in some bread and he's all over it. 🙄 Nomnom |

I can’t imagine that anyone would be like, eh it was a little too baking soda-y and the ginger was far too overpowering. I’m not a monster though. I believe the bread was decent. |

And now he’s on the Canadian version of Entertainment Tonight as a “host” and a “tv personality”. |

I spent a good amount of time thinking that Ben Mulroney was John Mulaney and was just nodding along like, yes, yes, definitely hate him. But then realized John Mulaney is not a Canadian TV personality and googled and yup. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He seemed so awkward-ish and not assholey in his show and sketches and on SNL.... but 🤷🏻♀️“ LOL Eta: until I finally googled him and Jessica and was like oh lol oops |

Episode 6 was co-written by one of the creators of the show and another writer who used to work for 30 Rock. |

I must have read the credits wrong and gotten mixed up b/c we watched episodes 5&6 back to back! Either way - what an amazing episode. I feel like it’s Emmy worthy, but that’s all over with for this season, right? |

I think Meghan's fabulous. I also think people search for ways to hate her in the same way they search for reasons to love Kate.
In real life I bet they're both lovely to their friends and less so to those they don't know.
I do think she made the banana bread because cooking/baking is one of her hobbies. Plus I bet the staff set everything up so all she had to do was throw the ingredients in a bowl, stir, transfer to pan, and put in the oven.
She and Harry make a great couple and they're clearly happy which is more then can be said for many royal pairings.
But I'll always be rooting for a biracial American married to a prince. It will make so many awful racists so miserable if she continues to keep doing a fantastic job and she and Harry stay married forever.

1) bananas are disgusting.
2) MH just caught me pondering and asked what I was thinking about, and I replied whether MM made the banana bread or not. 😂 He said he expected nothing less.

brux I saw Lily Allen last night and she sounded great! Such a fun show. She signed merch and took pictures after the show and was very nice.
