Skipped Sunday Dinner due to Super Bowl party, still need to cook something to live on for the week. Been eyeing @nigella.bsky.social’s Chicken Traybake with Bitter Orange and Fennel and a friend brought over some homegrown sweetish lemons so, lacking Seville oranges, we’re giving that recipe a go.

Partisan gerrymandering should be constitutionally barred.
SCOTUS says it isn't.
Until a constitutional amendment changes that we can't have unilateral disarmament.
Which means once Republicans kicked off mid-decade redistricting this was the only possible response

Today’s a busy day to make up for yesterday’s slump. Grocery shopping, four loads of laundry, gaming tea, and an accidental roast already done. A carmelized garlic tart in process for gaming tonight. If there’s time, I’m also going to try to learn a new game from our gaming closet for tonight.

⚡️Zelensky says Russia presented $12 trillion economic plan to US, called 'Dmitriev package.'
President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a proposed framework for large-scale U.S.-Russia economic cooperation.
