Deep Thoughts: The Frappuproblem Edition

• If you talk on the phone while cooking French toast, you are pretty much asking for the hot margarine to splatter and burn your arm. Oops.

• Also, It is unclear to me why, according to AP style, the "French" in French toast must be capitalized, but the "French" in french fry is not capitalized.

• A newspaper--at least a serious one--should never ever ever run a sentence that looks like this: "Starbucks has found itself with a venti frappuproblem."

• My explanation of my shoes to a friend: "Falling into gutters is not fun, it's just a necessary outcome of beautiful shoes, which are fun. Call it a psik reishah." Yeah, I just used a halachic term to describe my shoes. Sacrilege?
