My sister and I, who agree on little, have arrived at a consensus that macaroni and cheese is overrated and pretty meh. Sorry to those this might affect.

The problem is that no one, well very few, know how to make proper macaroni and cheese which is made in an oven with long macaron milk and cheese (various are used) baked en casserole.
In the US it's even troublesome to find proper macaron to do so.
The yellow processed cheese product slime on little elbow things is just a sad approximation of the real thing.

Christmas decorations are going up! You’ve got the tree, lights, asbestos… Wait, what?

For decades, asbestos was sold as artificial snow. It could be bought in boxes to be sprinkled onto trees, ornaments, nativity scenes, etc. It was so popular, many older ornaments still have traces of asbestos.

It was also used in film. The most famous scene with asbestos snow is in Wizard of Oz (1939), when snow falls on Dorothy and her friends, waking them up.

Yep, because asbestos was very useful and no one was yet aware of the dangers it posed to health rather like the Romans proliferate use of lead and lead oxide. There is no scandal here.
