I hoped for a quote from Eboo Patel, whose vision of the American Potluck resonates with me:
“For the larger community to eat, everybody needs to bring a dish. Along the way, conversation happens, palates widen, fusions emerge.”
Food is sacred, whatever its background. So are people.

"Our call to unity in Christ is not found in assimilation, but in the fullness of our particularities as Jews and Greeks, men and women, rich and poor — all are brought together to share meals and bear witness to the work of God in our communities."

Christians Must Reject 'The Great American Melting Pot'
Melting pot metaphors treat minorities like seasoning meant to be assimilated in a soup of whiteness.

Today’s homemade scoop: White chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough.
I infused the nuts into the dairy, but the flavor is too subtle. Next time, I’ll try this with “white chocolate” ice cream, which is probably the flavor I want anyway.

I feel the whole movie is pretty well-rated at this point, but if I had to try:
“And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart.”
“That is my least vulnerable spot!”

Hi yes please what?

Gorgeous sentiment (typos aside).
On MLK Day, just re-upping this detail from a little-known speech King gave in 1966.
It also includes this passage, where King says this line:
"I think the earth is the Lord's, and since we didn't make these things by ourselves, we must share them with each other."

Today’s ice cream: pumpkin ice cream with buttered pecan and a pumpkin spice swirl.
This one mixes a few techniques from Dana Cree and Salt and Straw, including a sidebar using raw eggs instead of a cooked custard. I pasteurized the eggs first in a sous vide. Kinda love how this turned out.

In my enthusiasm from finding an online grocer for some specialty items I have trouble buying off the shelf, I wound up with… WAY too much gochujang.
So I made it into ice cream.
Chocolate ice cream with gochujang caramel candies, to be precise.

I am genuinely torn between my love for Watterson (see everything below) and Eastman/Laird.
The creators of the Ninja Turtles went the opposite way, but because they owned the Turtles outright, they kinda got a piece of everything.
Given how rough comics are to creators? That’s kinda admirable.

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.
![Excerpt from Wikipedia reads: "Fight against merchandising his characters
For years, Watterson battled against pressure from publishers to merchandise his work, something that he felt would cheapen his comic through compromising the act of creation or reading.[21][22]
He refused to merchandise his creations on the grounds that displaying Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially sold mugs, stickers, and T-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities. Watterson said that Universal kept putting pressure on him and that he had signed his contract without fully perusing it because, as a new artist, he was happy just to find a syndicate willing to give him a chance (two other syndicates had previously turned him down). He added that the contract was so one-sided that, if Universal really wanted to, they could license his characters against his will, and could even fire him and continue Calvin and Hobbes with a new artist. Watterson's position eventually won out, and he was able to renegotiate his contract so that he would receive all rights to his work. Later he said that the licensing fight exhausted him and contributed to the need for a nine-month sabbatical in 1991.[23]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreihmgl3sxrmb5t6edpjnixyanj2rvcf43zdv46mbifhl7hdtmz5u6y@jpeg)

Man, the newspaper comic was SUCH a cool place to go for art.
Yes, you sometimes got xeroxed, talking heads nonsense like The Wizard of Id (and, if we’re being honest, Dilbert).
But you also got Calvin and Hobbes, Cul de Sac, Phoebe and Her Unicorn, The Boondocks…
RIP to a cool medium.

Scott Adams is dead. Without excusing or condoning anything he said, I think it was very hard for a lot of creative people, including him, to watch their entire art form collapse as newspapers stopped running comics, and that resentment was fertile soil for the reaction that he'll be remembered for.

Wife’s in trial this week, and I’m working part-time to watch the kids. I plan to do an irresponsible amount of cooking after the kids are asleep. Starting with one of my favorite desserts: sesame balls!
