Forgive me if this has been covered before, but what the hell is Washington Post Social Reader? I’m afraid to click. I didn’t want to know that all my Facebook friends were reading articles with titles like “Source: Kris Humphries Battling for Kim Kardashian to Admit Their Marriage Was Fake.”

“As the name so aptly suggests, the rice bowl is for the rice, the saucer underneath is for food taken from the communal dishes before you eat it, or for the bones you gently spit out.” And… “The bones can be sucked, quietly, before being gently spit out onto the side plate.” —Yan-Kit’s Classic Chinese Cookbook “Gently spit”
