Fabulous figs, frightening foie gras, flattering liars! An ancient food thread that has it all; (If you're sensitive to animal cruelty, then be forewarned!)
In the name of Hades, what do you mean Thomas? What connects these seemingly very different things -namely figs and liver- together?

So I did some meaty delights, inside, in the oven not on BBQ.
Baby rack of ribs, so meaty& tasty! No sauce, just a Greek inspired rub; thyme, sage, garlic, red wine vinegar, fennel seeds sea salt. Slowly cooked, wrapped tightly for 4 hrs then 20 min uncovered for a crust. Delish.

Hey everyone, Edith is doing her best but she really isn't doing well at all.

Could I please get some help grabbing a few things to take care of her and help her regulate as it's triggering her fibromyalgia? Thank you 💐

Made one last effort with my birth family, after this it's either heal together or goodbye forever. Going to be quietly losing my mind while I wait for the reply.

I love my emails from my food suppliers, I do!
But what am I going to do with half a cow in my kitchen?

It is first articulated in the King's speech, drafted by His Majesty's government, the executive, amended and passed by the legislature, including of course the bishops, then given royal assent, before being applied by the judiciary - King's Bench or Crown Court.

OTHER THAN THAT, totally separate.

BBC correspondent: "This tells us the investigation is carrying on as if this wasn't a member of the royal family... The law is separate from the church, it's separate from the monarchy, it's separate from the state in many ways."

Come again? 😂

Today is apparently 'Drink Wine Day'! So here’s a toast with a 1,700-year-old vintage! 🍷

A Roman bottle of wine found in a grave in Speyer, dating to the 4th century AD.

Proof that wine lovers have always been a timeless bunch!

There is a fab new book out about the 2022 polychromy exhibition at the Met. It underscores 38 scholars who are the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 experts in polychromy today. Coming out of polychromy retirement to review _Chroma: Sculpture in Color from Antiquity to Today_ for @hyperallergic.com (edited by Natalie Haddad).
How White Elites Drained Ancient Art of Its Color
The publication of “Chroma” represents an important shift by museums toward recognizing polychromy and its entanglement with white supremacy.

My entire life and outlook improved when I started walking and/or cycling to do my groceries. Living near stuff you need is an incredible and amazing experience. There’s a reason Europeans rank as happier and why people are so enamoured with European and Japanese vacations.

Obviously this is where I also sing the praises of the blessed bookshop.org (they also exist in the US), for people who LIKE TO READ but can’t leave the house. Home delivery! A % of profit to the actual bookshop of your choice! No Bezos! What’s not to love?
Bookshop.org: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.
A better way to buy books online. Every purchase financially supports local independent bookstores.

Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

I cannot stress enough how enjoyable it is to deprive that withered old cunt of your money. Waterstones, Argos, Boots - it is so easy to get whatever you need, and it feels kinda fun, like taking a holiday in 90s Britain

Paywall going up on this at lunchtime, just in case anybody else would like a read before then…
Today is the last day to read this piece for free.

It might work quite well as an intro to my writing for people who only know it via Bluesky.

P.S. It's much better if you read it all the way to the end.

I mean, I would say that, but I promise: it really does.
