Lately I've been happier using einkorn instead of whole wheat. Has a buttery mildness to it. #baking

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. "

They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory

Second attempt, Galette Des Rois, with leaf decor.

Galette Des Rois - a little brulee but I'm making progress.

I was teaching Alyssa Wong's "Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers" and showed them how AI writes: "This captures her monsterhood, suggesting that relationships-particularly those inscribed by gendered power differntials-often unfold under the workings of emotional labor and manipulation." 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sort of disastrous but tasty. Mini Galette Des Rois. Overfilled and improperly sealed. I added sliced dried apricots to the frangipane - a good choice.

Made Manon's pear and frangipane cake - a yogurt and oil based batter. Very mild flavor and creamy texture.

I didn't delete my X account after the election, just uninstalled the app from my phone. I attempted to download and open it again today but the app couldn't verify me. What a trash platform. I guess that's what happens when you fire everybody. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #Xodus

I remember 2016 when Trump claimed he couldn't be bought. Turns out that was one of his many lies. Whatever Trump is, he is a deeply venal man.
President-elect Trump is keeping the names of the donors who are funding his transition effort secret, in a break from tradition that could make it impossible to see what interest groups, businesses or wealthy people are helping launch his second term.
Trump Is Running His Transition Team on Secret Money
Breaking with past practice, President-elect Donald J. Trump has not agreed to disclose the donors paying for his planning effort or to limit their contributions.
