Bryan Adams/Searchlight Pictures Leave it toKate McKinnonto have a little fun with a benign medical diagnosis. TheSNLalum, 41, who is featured in this week's One Last Thing, was asked about the last screenshot or picture she took on her phone. "I took a photo of my tongue and sent it to an actor friend of mine," she says. "We both have the same medical condition. It's called geographic tongue. Your tongue sheds in patches and looks like an atlas, hence the name 'geographic tongue.'" Jason Mendez/Getty for Searchlight Pictures According to Mayo Clinic,geographic tongueis an inflammatory but harmless condition affecting the surface of the tongue. Patches on the tongue are missing papillae, which are tiny, pinkish-white bumps, and look like a map. They often appear in one area and then move to a different part of the tongue. "It's gross," McKinnon adds. "We brag about how geographic we are on any given day. Maybe I shouldn't be saying this in a magazine."

(Exclusive) The actress, who is releasing her children's book,Secrets of the Purple Pearl, the second in her seriesThe Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science,and stars in the movieThe Roses, shared more with PEOPLE for One Last Thing: Last obsessionI am obsessed with the lifestyle vlog of a family in the mountains of Azerbaijan who grow and prepare copious amounts of gorgeous food. There is no dialogue. The mother, Aziza, has these big hands and these giant enamel bowls and she'll just punch out a batch of dough for 80 meat pies. She pickles 100 pounds of cucumbers with the ease that most people chew gum. Her rolling pin is five feet long. I'm not sure who's eating all the meat pies. Hachette Book Group Last life hack I learnedYou can lacto-fermentanyvegetable by putting them in a big clean jar with water to cover and then you weigh all that and subtract the weight of the jar, and then multiply that by .035 and then add that amount of salt (by weight), shake it up and let it sit for 7 days. I've been fermenting. Aziza made me do it! Last DIY projectI put up these faux-beams on my bedroom ceiling. I sourced the wood and cut it and oiled it and treated it for bugs and installed it and fixed it and it took methree years. But the skills I gained will last a lifetime. Iloveskills.

Pictures Last impulse purchaseI just bought a portable band saw that electricians and plumbers use to cut metal-threaded rod, copper pipe, etc. Whenever I have to cut metal I'm sweating and grunting with a hacksaw. I've wanted one for about a year and I woke up today and I was like, "Today's the day." Last moment of prideI've been doing a lot of audio recording lately with my sister Emily Lynne. We're recording a scripted series for Audible that we wrote and we also just recorded the audiobook of my second novel for children. She's so brilliant and so kind and we are so in sync and I'm just so grateful that the person I would choose out of 8 billion people to be my sister happens to be my sister.

I think I would be most starstruck if I met someone from the HGTV universe. If I met Aziza I would fall at her feet.
