After seeing the illiteracy in the Estein e-mails, I have concluded that ding-dongs still answer Chotiner's phone calls because not one of them has ever read an Isaac Chotiner interview before.

What audio did I hear blaring from a phone in the other stall at work?
Not a podcast. Not TikTok.
The full audio of JFK's "City on a Hill" speech.
Courage--judgment--integrity--dedication

I love a chili crisp. And Cholula.
And... I don't like it.
It has heat, no question.
But they misunderstood the crunch.
The Cholula has crunchy elements, but they are crunchy elements added to a spicy oil.
I feel like the Lao Gan chili crisp is... spicy crunchy that just happens to be in an oil.
And... I don't like it.

Reinforced by all the allergy/cold/"flu" over the counter medicines.
They advertise combating the flu. When they are for regular colds.
I'm sure you saw this, but the new Dayquil Intense Flu has the tagline "power through your flu."
And it makes me see red.

A lot of my feed currently is @erinbiba.bsky.social reskeeting lovely photos of people's menorahs.
And for just a moment, I thought someone had turned a massive tree into an outdoor menorah.

For the past 3 years, I have gotten a whiskey advent calender for myself and my friend. And I have shipped a copy to my father.
It's like $150 per.
But they can get super expensive.
Here's one for $900. And I saw one last year with all 30 year or older whiskeys for ten thousand dollars.

Leftover butter chicken. And I have leftover jasmine rice. And I have a large tortilla from a nearby Mexican restaurant. (And I added some chili crisp because the butter chicken needed a kick [my own fault. I didn't order spicy enough]). I added a little sour cream because I was missing raita.

I ended up going with do I like the concept of the dish, can I envision a quality version, and would I like to eat that version?

This does not look particularly well prepared. But I can imagine a version of this dish that is very good. I worked at a Cajun adjacent steakhouse, and the chef made the best shrimp and grits I've ever tasted.
Am I rating how much I want to eat his version? Because that's way different than the pic.

Are we asking about this particular plate of fettuccine Alfredo?
Are we asking about an average fettuccine Alfredo?
Are you asking how likely I am to order that dish? Because that's heavily tied to what other pastas are available.
Or are you just asking if I like to eat fettuccine alfredo?

Oh man.
I won some money gambling, so I bought some Scotch on the way home.
I'm normally a Laphraoig man.
But I saw this 11 year Lagavulin.
Turns out to be a @nickofferman.bsky.social
collaboration.
And it.. is... WONDERFUL.
Try it if you can find it.
