The Tolerable Lightness of Being

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 27

After reading the truly clueless reviews in the NY Times and the New Yorker about what the new Dylan movie *should* have been about, I read this gem, which captures the magic of the movie. It’s about the music.

‘A Complete Unknown’ Review: Timothée Chalamet Is Uncanny as Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s Offbeat and Incandescent Biopic

James Mangold's entrancingly offbeat biopic has the feel — the effect — of a musical, as Dylan's songs become the story it's telling.

3) The crust was very crispy, but a bit dry. I am thinking of using just panko and no cornflakes next, and drizzling the crust with melted butter toward the end.

2) I made two batches: one soaked overnight in buttermilk; the other not soaked at all. To my surprise, we all agreed the buttermilk made no difference! Both were equally moist.

1) Using a wire rack (sprayed with olive oil) made a huge difference.

Crispy chicken achieved! Thank you all for your excellent advice. I dipped the cutlets in flour and a little cornstarch, then in egg, then in seasoned panko and crushed cornflakes. I used an oiled wire rack. The photos are below. I have three takeaways, which are in the replies that follow.

Thanks to the cooking community for all this great advice! Test run tomorrow (using as many tips as I can). Will report back with photos!

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 15

Love that idea!

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 15

Are you soaking them in buttermilk first or do you skip that part?

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 15

Thanks! All great advice! It didn't occur to me that the buttermilk was part of the problem but it makes sense.

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 15

I was thinking the cheese was part of the problem! It doesn't even add much--I'll ditch it.

It’s good to know I’m not the only one…but with all this great advice I hope to crack the code!

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 15

Thanks! Will do!

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 15

Just add cornstarch to the dry mixture?

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 15

I’ve been using a pan—will use a rack next time. That could be the key!

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Dec 15

Fantastic idea! Will try it on the next round. 🙏

Pavlova made by our Kiwi host at Thanksgiving 🍽️

Does anyone possess the secret of crispy oven-baked chicken? I usually soak cutlets in buttermilk, then roll in crushed cornflakes and panko. Sometimes with grated Parmesan; sometimes without. Delicious but never crispy enough. 🍽️ #food #cooking 🍜

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.

Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Few tv shows manage to be uncynical and warm-hearted but also smart and unsentimental. Those are the shows I need right now— like Somebody Somewhere and Abbott Elementary. And if you like that sort of thing, I also adored Reservation Dogs and The English Teacher.

So excited to read this!

The nomination of Pam Bondi, a death penalty enthusiast, for AG further corroborates that federal executions will resume rapidly unless Biden commutes the sentences of the people on death row.

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Nov 22

Excellent! So happy to see this!

Susan A Bandes @susanabandes.bsky.social · Nov 21

I was just remembering that fondly.

A wise pooch indeed.
