Specialist in contract language and the contract process. Here, mostly pizza and whatever catches my eye.
Nuts.com has caught shrinkflation. In a shipment I received yesterday, organic Medjool dates and organic dried cranberries were in 13-oz bags instead of one-pound bags. The cranberries cost $0.79 per oz instead of the $0.72 per oz I paid in August. I'm not complaining, just observing! #foodsky

For the first time, I saw a chunk of guanciale (cured pork jowl) in a store. Heck, even finding it diced in a plastic package is rare enough. So of course I bought it. I see spaghetti carbonara in our future. Mad props to Iavarone Bros. for stocking it, as well as capicola (aka gabagool). #foodsky

Some days what's required is lots of pasta, cheeses, and bechamel sauce topped with breadcrumbs, accompanied by a token vegetable. Today was one of those days. #foodsky

Chicken liver with onions: my first time ever eating, and first time ever making, a liver dish. I used the first Youtube video I encountered (although it features beef liver): youtu.be/_SgpjsPZ32Q?.... I ate it without a problem! #foodsky

I just used the phrase "Gallic shrug" in one in a series of new writings that are meant to be more accessible. Oops.
At some point accessible crosses over into dreary. If everyone can effortlessly digest what you've written, it's gruel.

Is "chalk up to" (as in, "He chalked up his mistakes to his inexperience") too fuddy-duddy for an online world? (Mind you, "fuddy-duddy" might be too fuddy-duddy for an online world.)

This would be an extremely bad idea. It will not satisfy them. It will acknowledge that they are right about something. It will empower them. Literally nothing that anyone should do, should be oriented towards placating this administration.
Exclusive: Harvard leaders have discussed creating a center for conservative scholarship as the school fights the Trump administration’s accusations that it is too liberal.
Harvard Explores New Center for Conservative Scholarship Amid Trump Attacks
The Ivy League school has discussed an effort to ‘support viewpoint diversity’ with potential donors. Harvard says the initiative ‘will not be partisan.’

I didn't know that the rabbi was the mayor! And I like that he uses the royal "we" to refer to himself. 🙂 (Dangling participle)

What's wrong with this Italian sub? Well, the moment I put this batch of rolls in the oven, I realized I had forgotten the sesame seeds! And I went to a deli that was convenient but not the best, so no gabagool! But otherwise, it should be good. #breadsky

Today, as a gesture of thanks to those helping with our renovations, I made pizza, for the first time in months, using my Ooni Koda 16. It worked out out fine, but I'm still looking for more crunch. What do you do, friends, to get crunch? (I used Tony Gemignani's master dough with biga.) #pizzanerd

Drove my wife to Connecticut today, so I went to New Haven, to try Modern Apizza for the first time. The crust of my pizza was, at the edge, light and flimsy. Elsewhere, it was drowned in puddles of melted mozzarella and exhibited a terminal case of flopitis. Not my type of pizza. #pizzanerd

Any flying-squirrel experts out there? I'm wondering how they managed to trash in three months the swell crib I installed for them.
