Hainanese chicken: poached chicken, fragrant jasmine rice cooked in a ginger-garlic broth, accompanied by miso dipping sauce and a smashed cucumber salad. First introduced to this dish by my friend Nicky at Hey Hey Noodle Bar, and I finally got around to making it. 🍽️🥢🍚

Popped by Waterstones today. What a wonderful selection of new books on ancient/early modern history!

Among them: one I peer-reviewed, one I'm listening to—& loving—on audiobook & one I'm reading with shocked fascination

In the first Usyk-Fury, Usyk adjusted to the counters by dipping to Fury's left & putting weight on his lead leg to step in. The way you can stop this if you're Fury is to use the lead hand to try and get the better positioning.
The problem is that Usyk is too versatile and fake when he's entering.

Roberto Duran: the PERFECT offensive fighter. Also one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time. Without a shadow of a doubt the greatest living fighter.

I love these reconstructions of clothing worn by the ruling elite of Makuria (a medieval kingdom in what's now s. Egypt/n. Sudan). Made with historically accurate fabrics & dyes, they give us a sense of the visual language of power in medieval Sudan—will be using these in my teaching next semester!

Today in 1944, a Royal Air Force photorecon aircraft flies over the German city of Koblenz, on the River Rhine. A week earlier, RAF Lancaster bombers had struck the city, losing two aircraft and devastating the city centre with fire. The grounds of the ruined Elector's Palace appear bottom centre.
